Just a little more, I fret, Of a treasure always sought; time – Elevating my need to start Living once more. Tomorrow I shall try something else, Hark, it is merely a trap And nothing that will bring you joy – Nothing but faithful reassurance, yet, Karma they cry. You patronise me about my wayContinueContinue reading “Nothing New”

On Pointe
She stepped into the room Of mirrors and barres, Remembering the smell of hard work And the sight of ugly injuries. Her legs unresponsive to the call,Still she soared into uncertainty – Another fall perchance, or A leap into new confidence? — Two years. Not a day went by without the thought of you; TheContinueContinue reading “On Pointe”
A Cry for Help
If you asked me what I see When I look at you, I’d stifle an awkward smile And cast downward eyes. A little boy, Lost amongst the trees, In a forest of anguish And expectation. The temptation you So desperately crave Could never quite reach Anyone’s ears. You ask me again, You, aContinueContinue reading “A Cry for Help”
Drifter
She is like a fire in a storm, Her flame is small but burns With desire for more than this – Whatever this is. Is there anybody out there? Faces welcome her to join in And play with new personas, But they always say goodbye And never say hello. She moves from person to person,ContinueContinue reading “Drifter”
A New Face
After a long day she stands in front of the mirror, Tugging at the shroud on her face. Her hands pull at the thin veil, Slowly revealing another pair of eyes, A smaller mouth and a wider nose. She struggles as she washes the mask away, But she breathes as her skin now breathes AndContinueContinue reading “A New Face”
The Turn-Tale Heart
I’m stuck. I’m stuck. I’m stuck. I hear your heartbeat from under the floorboards Tormenting me in my sleep and in my wake. It’s not real, I know it’s in my head Because I am alive and breathing, And you are not. Get out. Get out. GET OUT. It’s daytime, you don’t belong here, SoContinueContinue reading “The Turn-Tale Heart”
Tomorrow I shall write something new
Hey my love, I buried you a month or two ago I keep thinking that you’re standing on my floor That you’re waiting there for me https://open.spotify.com/track/53jbdPQBaH6WaQvW0zmGBs?si=vn1OEDDVSjaRw6pjKyGOFQ Tomorrow I shall write something new. I feel like I am still standing on Maroubra beach watching the sunrise – still thinking about life, but also nothing inContinueContinue reading “Tomorrow I shall write something new”
Today I sat on the couch
Today I sat on the couch Thinking about yesterday; It was a day spent hiding From the scorching sun, In new and bizarre places. I found myself immersed in the world of music – I stood between different keyboards and microphones, near shelves of pedals and amplifiers, and among lovers of sound. I found myselfContinueContinue reading “Today I sat on the couch”
Yesterday I ate a tart
Yesterday I ate a tart Made of the sweetest strawberries, Layered in a sweet milky bliss.
Today I saw her cry
Today I saw her cry Out of the corner of my eye; It was only a split second Before she noticed eyes on her, And quickly wiped the tears From her face with her sleeve. She espouses an aura of happiness where ever she goes, sharing her joys in the smallest of things. She isContinueContinue reading “Today I saw her cry”
