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 AndContinue 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, SoContinue 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 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 in particular,Continue 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 myselfContinue 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 isContinue reading “Today I saw her cry”
Yesterday I planned my future
Yesterday I planned my future, One day in advance For I had nothing better to do. My hands despise idleness And pushes my brain to think, Encourages my legs to travel, Citing all sorts of adventures. I wonder where my plans will lead, For they never play out As they are purposed, But I enjoyContinue reading “Yesterday I planned my future”
Yesterday I got into a stranger’s car
Yesterday I got into a stranger’s car – She was a refreshing character, Who felt so real in this world Of courtesy and strange politics. We drove to unfamiliar places, Conversing about who we are, As well as the small things That we are blessed to have. Our first destination in the hills Was homeContinue reading “Yesterday I got into a stranger’s car”
Yesterday I missed my bus stop
Yesterday I missed my bus stop Because I daydreamed about the future. I smiled as I thought about taking Those daily one second snippets I would love and cherish. I was imagining a whole year in review Before it had already started, Because I am excited For the days to come. The bus drove byContinue reading “Yesterday I missed my bus stop”
Yesterday I woke up from a dream
Yesterday I woke up from a dream – The world welcomed a new normal, A new normal of everlasting days And sleepless nights. I lived in a world of grey cellophane, Of the lies we tell ourselves, And monochromatic events That forfeited souls still live for. In that world lived a boy with a beanie;Continue reading “Yesterday I woke up from a dream”
