Love is about the woman lying next to you in bed,
Love is about the person living inside your head,
Love is about succeeding in always being there,
Love is about retreating from that other woman’s stare,
...
Alone again, the quiet descends,
A quiet within where feelings once bloomed,
A garden untended for years upon end,
Weeds have set in, destroyed, consumed.
...
Words tumble
Soundlessly
Endlessly
Pushing back
...
The shields that hide the shadows
Shine brightly in the light,
Reflecting all the questions
That come from watching eyes,
...
Its white is for surrender,
The colour of its fear,
Hidden by the muscle
That lies within its shell.
...
Hello new found strangers,
You look so much like me!
Where did you come from
And what are you doing here?
...
Through closed eyes
I see as if in a dream.
Toes dabble in sunshine’s full of sky,
...
Burning, burning,
Wire down my spine.
Searing, searing,
Drive out the pain inside.
...
To know,
To love,
The hidden inner flame.
To burn,
...
