Time,

Binds us 

In reality

Like a noose

Around the neck

Of life

Grounding us

In moments

That take away

Our sanity

Lulls us

Into believing

There is more

But,

It eludes us

Flying by,

Faster, 

Stop!

Give us 

A minute,

To catch our breath

To think

What’s the rush?

Bubbles

Rainbows sparkle

Through sunlight 

Floating 

Carefree, light

Vibrant hues

Tricks the eye

Mysterious 

And, so calming

Colour that plays

On your mind

Lifts the spirit

And carries you out

Into a world 

Of fairytales and,

wonder

Windows

Lucid eyes

Narrate a tale

of the toll life takes

on us,

Sparkling, bright

Renewed in hope

Fighting back

feelings of doubt

Indecision;

Clouds our thoughts

visibly there to see,

Look deep enough

and you can sense it

Confusion,

and, entrapment 

in life’s coincidences

No freedom,

nor time

Whispers

Sunshine streams 

through the cracks;

crumbling shadows,

of walls

carefully built over time, 

years.

Closed up spaces

lay open, exposed, 

vulnerable

Whispers kick in

echoing thoughts, 

mixed, loud

Breaking the silence

Beating faster; A tune, 

a beat thats fresh, 

new, heavy;

in hope, wonder

High on life

She,

was always the dreamer

Dancing through life

Her smile, infectious

Free spirited and wild

Time had robbed her 

Of her inner peace

Yet,

her soul was always on fire

Her passion was fierce

for life, for love,

Craving a forever;

that's real

The Last Goodbye

A feeling of despair grips me
I fight back the tears
Trying to control the spin
You must be strong they say,
For him

I close my eyes, try to remember
I have to let go
His suffering was greater than my pain
If I could stop time
Hold on for just one more day
For me

The memories; they keep flooding in
He was my world, My hero
My life
Strong, even in the face of death
No, nothing will be as it was
Not now, for us


For Dad.

Comfort Zone

Falling in the in between
An unexpected comfort zone
It felt so natural and just right
My tired soul found rest
I feel safe lying in your arms
No promises of tomorrow
Yet, a sense of peace inside
I don't know what the future holds
Or if there will be one
For now, in your eyes I found home
