Indelible Mark
In the nothingness
This heart resides
If you were here
The silence would be broken
Singing a soulful song
Just for you
Listen carefully
As whispers grow louder
Feel the tenderness
In the quivering beat
No going back to black
Your sunshine caresses
The silken fibres of love
Have sewn me to you
These delicate strands
Hold me to a feeling
Impressions of you
Light pastel colours
Soft feather-like words
That leave an indelible mark
This heart resides
If you were here
The silence would be broken
Singing a soulful song
Just for you
Listen carefully
As whispers grow louder
Feel the tenderness
In the quivering beat
No going back to black
Your sunshine caresses
The silken fibres of love
Have sewn me to you
These delicate strands
Hold me to a feeling
Impressions of you
Light pastel colours
Soft feather-like words
That leave an indelible mark

If Fate Was True
The rainbow
You are the beautiful colours
Painting the sky
After the rain
Catching my eyes
Through the tears
Touching my soul
From a distance
If fate was true
Our motion
Would be entwined
Two simple heart beats
The seas of your love
Caressing my desolate shore
So gently
Reshaping a cracked heart
The lullaby
That eventually
Soothes my wandering soul
A voice so sweet
You are the beautiful colours
Painting the sky
After the rain
Catching my eyes
Through the tears
Touching my soul
From a distance
If fate was true
Our motion
Would be entwined
Two simple heart beats
The seas of your love
Caressing my desolate shore
So gently
Reshaping a cracked heart
The lullaby
That eventually
Soothes my wandering soul
A voice so sweet

Survivor Syndrome
Shame
I live with my shame
It hangs
Like a dark cloud
Sucks on my spirit
Like a vampire sucks on blood
There’s no protection
From the feelings
Survivor syndrome
I crashed
Crawled from the wreckage
Should never have
Always looking back
Feelings cut and slash
Rewriting the shame
Of being alive
The devil inside
Twists the knife
Cruelly kisses
With poisonous venom
Just hit the cancel button
Do not rewind
Reliving it
Never makes it...
I live with my shame
It hangs
Like a dark cloud
Sucks on my spirit
Like a vampire sucks on blood
There’s no protection
From the feelings
Survivor syndrome
I crashed
Crawled from the wreckage
Should never have
Always looking back
Feelings cut and slash
Rewriting the shame
Of being alive
The devil inside
Twists the knife
Cruelly kisses
With poisonous venom
Just hit the cancel button
Do not rewind
Reliving it
Never makes it...

Acrobatic Heart
Waiting always waiting
This acrobatic heart
Will not calm
Will not calm
Starting to believe
I am half a heart
The other piece
Belongs to you
A half way house
Not quite a home
Without your boots
By the open door
His beige and grey
Needs your colours
To wash away sadness
On these paper walls
Mop up the tears
Hang up a new smile
Clear the dust
Put your love in place
To eventually ground
This acrobatic heart ...
This acrobatic heart
Will not calm
Will not calm
Starting to believe
I am half a heart
The other piece
Belongs to you
A half way house
Not quite a home
Without your boots
By the open door
His beige and grey
Needs your colours
To wash away sadness
On these paper walls
Mop up the tears
Hang up a new smile
Clear the dust
Put your love in place
To eventually ground
This acrobatic heart ...

DARK POEM

My Demon
This demon in me
Is no dormant creature
If it exists at all
Then he lives through whispers
Like secret messages
Tapped over the airwaves
The words pulse
Straight to my brain
He knows my weakness
Constant reminders of failure
There’s no peaceful retreat
From the mental assault
In nightmares
I see the glint in red eyes
The glint of cold hard steel
About to slice skin
I’m sure if I bled
That would never be enough
A slow torturous death
His only satisfaction ...
Is no dormant creature
If it exists at all
Then he lives through whispers
Like secret messages
Tapped over the airwaves
The words pulse
Straight to my brain
He knows my weakness
Constant reminders of failure
There’s no peaceful retreat
From the mental assault
In nightmares
I see the glint in red eyes
The glint of cold hard steel
About to slice skin
I’m sure if I bled
That would never be enough
A slow torturous death
His only satisfaction ...

Piles Of Ash
Tethered
To this tortured soul
Tuned
To morose feelings
Existence
Merely breathes
Burning a hole
In my heart
The unrest of yesterday
Still scratches
At my heels
With every attempt to sleep
Death hangs heavy
Over my shadow
As I lay here
A stagnant corpse
Weary so weary
Of poisonous thoughts
Burning my sanity
Into neat piles of ash
To this tortured soul
Tuned
To morose feelings
Existence
Merely breathes
Burning a hole
In my heart
The unrest of yesterday
Still scratches
At my heels
With every attempt to sleep
Death hangs heavy
Over my shadow
As I lay here
A stagnant corpse
Weary so weary
Of poisonous thoughts
Burning my sanity
Into neat piles of ash

A Knocking Ghost
Loneliness
Is no friend
More a dark lover
With a cold caress
Its shadow
Has followed me
Always there
Like a faithful dog
Happiness is fickle
More a changing breeze
It first surrounds
Then dies away
Loneliness
A knife that slices
So softly
It might not be noticed
A knocking ghost
That invites itself
Loves to haunt me
To very depths of my soul
Is no friend
More a dark lover
With a cold caress
Its shadow
Has followed me
Always there
Like a faithful dog
Happiness is fickle
More a changing breeze
It first surrounds
Then dies away
Loneliness
A knife that slices
So softly
It might not be noticed
A knocking ghost
That invites itself
Loves to haunt me
To very depths of my soul

I Truly Wish
Unspoken desires
That struggle to die
This secret
Growing in my heart
A savagely seductive beauty
With sultry eyes
I would surrender too
If she ever looked my way
Wild dreams
Blaze in my mind
Fate refuses
Free me from her
So here I am
Coveting a jewel
I truly wish
Would sparkle for me
That struggle to die
This secret
Growing in my heart
A savagely seductive beauty
With sultry eyes
I would surrender too
If she ever looked my way
Wild dreams
Blaze in my mind
Fate refuses
Free me from her
So here I am
Coveting a jewel
I truly wish
Would sparkle for me

Her Ripples
No denying
These whispering thoughts
Like a fever
Spreading
A special vibration
From a divine soul
Her ripples
Touching me
Her beauty ageless
Infinity captured in a look
This cosmic attraction
Unbreakable
No calm
Within the motion
Of my heart
Beating out unconditional love
The fleeting
Coherent silence
Gives me a breath
From this madness felt
These whispering thoughts
Like a fever
Spreading
A special vibration
From a divine soul
Her ripples
Touching me
Her beauty ageless
Infinity captured in a look
This cosmic attraction
Unbreakable
No calm
Within the motion
Of my heart
Beating out unconditional love
The fleeting
Coherent silence
Gives me a breath
From this madness felt

Breathe With Her
I keep
Breathing for her
A fraction of the breaths
I wish to breathe with her
Drawn by the myth
The mystery of her
Intrigues
So entices me
My hard exterior
Belies the tenderness inside
The emotional lover I wish to be
That surrounds her
I could drink her
But sips would never be enough
And yet gulping
Can’t give the true taste of her
Rather I just breathe her
Have that aroma
Waft in my senses
For all time
The scent of a lover
That never...
Breathing for her

You Call Me
With the flourishing sparks
That dwell in your eyes
You move me
To such delightful feelings
This magical concept
Has happened even without touch
In a state.of upheaval
As your beauty calls me
Want to learn to smile
Learn to hug
Know the tears
All the laughter with you
To see those colours
The breath of our breathing
The faster beat of hearts
Reshaping the world between us
That dwell in your eyes
You move me
To such delightful feelings
This magical concept
Has happened even without touch
In a state.of upheaval
As your beauty calls me
Want to learn to smile
Learn to hug
Know the tears
All the laughter with you
To see those colours
The breath of our breathing
The faster beat of hearts
Reshaping the world between us

Our Pieces Fit
Out on the frontier
Of what it is to be human
Trying to keep us
Under lock and key
Out of balance
The instinct to correct
Is overwhelming
Almost habitual
The spirit that burns
Deep inside us
Is a soaring passion
An obsession
That flies in the face of normal
The portrait of difference
Tip the scales
We are the probable cause
For the cracks in the human veneer
It’s cold comfort
To have our vision dulled
As we are expected
Survive in the spectrum...
Of what it is to be human
Trying to keep us
Under lock and key
Out of balance
The instinct to correct
Is overwhelming
Almost habitual
The spirit that burns
Deep inside us
Is a soaring passion
An obsession
That flies in the face of normal
The portrait of difference
Tip the scales
We are the probable cause
For the cracks in the human veneer
It’s cold comfort
To have our vision dulled
As we are expected
Survive in the spectrum...
