Rani Turton Poems

I was walking in yesterday
Wraiths and city nights knew me
I walked far on into the past and then
The complexity of that endless road came across to me
...

Cobbled stones, not dust.

So acute was my loneliness that dream I must.
Escapism was a flight from dreary realism.
...

Dragonfly, dragonfly,
Please don't pass me by
Wait with me a little while
Whilst I look, wonder and smile
...

In the shadow of the leafless tree
I waited, alone with melancholy
There was nobody, nobody around
To touch, speak and see.
...

I have some notions of nothingness
I have some ideals of illusions
Into the abyss then with these thoughts
My ideas, ideals and delusions.
...

And thus life carries on, carries on.
You will read these lines prhaps tonight,
Moon shining brave and bright.
Or tomorrow, when grey clouds veil the sky.
...

The necklace broke into bits
The beads scattering on the floor
Now that is a bit of jewellary
I will not wear any more
...

He couldn't see
The end of the road
Blinded by misery
What to do, there was nothing to do
...

They say that your hair is going grey
That you are alone today;
Nobody knows where you go to
When you go away
...

Rain, when you drenched me with your cold wet drops
I felt so alone and forlorn
On slick pavements it fell
Alone, along, for long.
...
