Why do we do this to ourselves
Writers, poets, songsmiths
Striping our souls bare, naked
Across a page beyond vulnerable
...
Another year has been and gone
supporting friends and family alike
in finding what passes the new normal
in supporting through every high and low
...
I proffered my heart and love
to you once, twice, you declined
My heart ached, retreated
hurt, wounded, limping away
...
Never could a word be said
To discolour your beauty
...
Of all that’s beautiful
To begin there is you
...
the sun rises to greet the morning
the ground dew only winters thaw
soft to the touch of the hand
leaves and flowers spread out
...
A day at the beach
~
the sun reflections danced in the sea
seagulls squawked overhead
...
A crown of flowers
~
I don a crown of flowers
To mask the sorrow inside
...
A poem for your eyes
~
I watch in your eyes
my own dreams reflected
...
You are the missing song to my heart
The eternal beauty of which I dream
...
