Jane Tomlin

It's the final day as we all take photographs and say goodbye; a thought goes through my mind.
I may never see any of you again. I don't want to let go of the many memories we have made.
Yet I know that will not happen as the memories we have created have been engraved on my heart and left a deep impression in my mind.
...

The gushing of the clear blue water is refreshing as you cool your over-heated, over-worked body. Rebuilding a civilisation is taking longer than expected.

The breeze is reviving as it rustles the palm leaves. Two, three, four coconuts fall and smack the ground, cracking open the hard shell to reveal the soft flesh and thirst-quenching milk within.
...

Icy snowflakes fall to the ground
Softly, silently not a sound.

Snowmen stand grand and tall
...

My desperate love for you was so strong
But it is hopeless we have grown apart
I now know that the love we had was wrong
You are no longer deep inside my heart.
...

I hear the drums in the deep
They are coming for you and they will not sleep
They will take it from you
For you possess what you cannot keep.
...

We have come to journeys end
In a distant land we will meet again
Through time and space, shadow and light
Think of past battles and the final fight
...

The boring hours tick by
as I sit in the room with the thing
His watchful, daring green eye
gazing at the book in which I wrote.
...

It's the greatest gift of all
You will be there when I fall.

My secrets, thoughts, aspirations are locked up in your mind and mine.
...

I looked next to me today and saw you were gone
Just a quick glance just enough to see that you weren’t there
Just enough to hesitate and weep
...

the night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, lost are we.
the emotion for which you lust
flares once, then dies,
devoured by a velvet ebony nothingness.
...

As the Autumn leaves are falling
I hear the wind your name it's calling.

As the dark nights draw in further
...

I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The memories have changed
and so has your face
...

Over the fields of gold and mellow hue
On the never ending flowers that bloom anew
The sun doth shine and glint in morning dew
The meadows vast and wide in vivid view.
...

If I came into your world will my tears be part of yesterday
If I came into your world will you tell me reassuring things to say
To convince myself that I can achieve my hearts desires.
...

No matter how long I live it will never be long enough to make up for the lies I've told, the mistakes I've made and the people I've hurt.

My mind is clouded over, my destiny slowly sinks through the murky waters, my future is unseen, snatched by the Devil to be burned for all eternity in the fiery depths of hell.
...

I saw you yesterday
I passed you on the motorway
You weren't happy you weren't sad
To be honest you looked kind of glad.
...

You're so tired, been travelling for so long,
Searching for answers,
You still can't believe they've gone.
...

Day begins with the arising of the sun at dawn and the banishment of dark till dusk
Craggy ridges and mountain walls
Windy saddles and sunbathed peaks
Forested valleys and shimmering lakes
...

The way you speak with such reassurance as if you'll always be by my side,
The way you look, with such love as if this love will last forever,
The way you hold my hand, with such warmth as if you'll comfort me for eternity,
The way you walk with such confidence, the smell of your aftershave on your shirt collar,
...
