********** Sonnet #2 Five children, so yea I have some, Yet, a wife and mother I seek thou, to wipe a runny nose and kiss a bruised knee How they would jump with glee, Oh, how my children deserve some fun For their birth mother left without a word! How hard that was on usContinue reading “‘Wife, Where Art Thou?’ A Sonnet”

‘Will You Hold My Hand?’
************ Will you hold my hand and glide me the easy way past the shadows, past the pitfalls? Will you hold my hand through the broken hearts? No tumbling waterfalls for me! Rather, the scattered, shattered thoughts of my mind. Will you hold my hand through the dereliction of the colour grey through to theContinue reading “‘Will You Hold My Hand?’”
BLINK!
She watches him striding up the garden path moonlight blazing down on his every footstep, silver grey she steps from behind the curtain – at last! And watches him approach, both rigid with expectation. How long has it been? Does it matter? Now he is here, and she is right there! Her mouth moves toContinue reading “BLINK!”
Stumble
********* I am but a shadow of my former self eyes like slits seeing nothing on the outside. My shoulders hunched, bear the brunt of a wizened body I pass ghost-like through it all… Life has hurled me the book of dreams fulfilled? – Not a chance of dreams dashed that’s about it! I stumbleContinue reading “Stumble”
An Enchanted Moment
*********************** The touch of a hand, so a balloon rises high into the sky. The twinkling of an eye sends hearts soaring, someone else catches their breath caught between one moment and the next. * Two glasses clink two pulses quicken. And then whispers in the dead of night of promises for today and tomorrow,Continue reading “An Enchanted Moment”
Country Living
************* When life gets too much rushing here and then rushing there I can think of going back to that place. When the traffic is at a standstill beeps and horns, yelling – where busy feet scuffle and scrape the sidewalk the cacophony is deafening. The rise of pungent food odours mingle with the deathContinue reading “Country Living”
Man With The Coiled Beard
He sits on a chair as old as time itself – a throne? could be. Surveying the world through liquorice eyes blinking away the visions of being caught between this world and the next. Blinking away a tear as the tragedy in all its grimness emerges a tarnished, disturbed earth Could be so perfect… AnotherContinue reading “Man With The Coiled Beard”
Husband, Where Art Thou?A Sonnet
Besieged with the same question Rain down the same answer ‘I don’t know’, yet a smile I still plaster, Hands wrung, oh this life’s predilection! Songs sung to the moon and the sun Oh, to be like many a couple made A voice earnest and sweet ‘please send me a date’ I, comely of dressContinue reading “Husband, Where Art Thou?A Sonnet”
The Ageless Heart
Worlds may collaspe oceans ripple and journey through the earth. Time passes slowly, ebbing away the stuff of mere mortals, seasons come and seasons go, until two worlds collide. From there. Somewhere. Undefined. From the depth of existence, something ancient yet modern bubbles to the surface… Hark! A heart no less. It knows nothing yetContinue reading “The Ageless Heart”
A Soul’s Cry
I sink myself into my own femininity I give of myself, until I am no more – a shadow to some, maybe a rock to others, I hope. I bare my soul, for all to see joyful and in another moment, tearful. I give in like melting snow – I stand my ground like theContinue reading “A Soul’s Cry”
