unheard smells – 1, april 2012

taste the feeling
let it go
ever onwards,
forward.
breath in every
unheard smell,
upside down and,
backwards.

feathers – 24, march 2012

ruffled feathers lift me up
blue sky catches my hair
breathe in the atmosphere
gradual, time passes
i forget my lungs
breathing seems
unreal

wanting – 21, march 2012

wanting, not just for the sake of wanting,
not knowing how to be awake.
whispered wishes and unknown hearts,
wants and needs slowly drift apart.
open my mouth as if to speak,
only air comes out.
i hear far off voices call my name,
empty rain rolls down the drain.
the feelings of sleep elude me,
my wandering heart embarks.
i’ve almost become a skeleton,
with dreams of life forgotten.
write down who i was for me,
tell people of these moments.
if only, if only tomorrow reset,
the way it began and the things i regret.
when you wanted something,
and i wanted less.

bubbles – 9, february 2012

when the world is on your doorstep
don’t let yourself be alone
let the wind carry hope to your lips
the breeze of soft imagining

be real and live in truest form
vivid colours in your mind
act like keys to roads unknown
beginning new adventures

ocean waves and seashell caves
names made out of echoes
seahorses are the butterflies
of the view made out of bubbles

the bend – 3, february 2012

begin at the beginning
and talk me to the end
my mistress my demise
is coming ’round the bend

her waist so lean and proper
her head held high with grace
it’s ironically befitting
that i cannot see her face.

i won’t remember – 16, January 2012

the silence of the snow falls softly
subduing the thoughts
that tumble in my head

i hear echoes of the wishes
my heart and my head
battle to rationalise

only for a moment as
the sky lets itself fall apart
everything is quiet

the moments pass more quickly
and when i blink i know
the illusion i cling to will vanish

the world will be covered
and i won’t remember
anymore

but only if you want to – 3, january 2012

come with me
down
to
the
sea
and where we were
we’ll
never
be
into the foam i’ll race you
(but only if you want to)

a close distance – 24 December, 2011

the distance of a
comfort that’s not far away
hold my hand tonight

growing pains – 23 December, 2011

i wish i may with all my might
follow the star i see tonight.

where up it hangs and glows to guide,
to there i’ll leap and learn to fly.

flickering lights bring much delight
as ribbons of my dreams ignite.

of golden spells and mermaid bells
the twinkling stars do arc.

and in it all a laugh rings out
soon followed by a shout,

the night’s alive with happy things
and magic bounds about.

find ye near here don’t turn away,
though nearer than you ought.

for if you listen carefully
you’ll hear the evening’s plot.

as up he rises quite a sight,
mischievous his game

the shadows scatter in his wake
for fear of being tamed.

so soon i see the moonlight smile
as it begins to fade,

the darkness bleeds into the light
as to the sky i’m bade.

the clouds part sides like ocean waves
and i am marked as nave,

unto this place of quiet hope
and to the boy it gave.

though separated from his gaze
my memory keeps him brave,

through listless nights to bring him back,
in all my dreams i lack.

the what, the when, the how, the why
are nowhere near the way to fly.

with chin held high though spirits low,
i gently sing a soft echo.

into the dull and vapid sky
i weakly sit and start to cry,
for shadows found and lost.

haiku – 24, december 2011

the distance of a
comfort that’s not far away
hold my hand tonight
