POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
time shifts but i stay still
time drifts and shifts
travelling forwards, never back
every day leaves
adding to the previous days before me
and i wander why everything moves so fast
before my eyes
i seem to spend my life stuck
frozen and static
trauma keeping me on the ground
my wings are not strong enough to move on up
and out into this scary world
time moves and even people
move on in time
some people travel but others stay stuck in the mud
dislodging ones feet feels impossible
people walk past on grass
beautifully and...

wanting to escape bad feelings
inside of her body lived quakes and shakes
disruptions in her nervous system
to much was going on for her to easily concentrate
her mind turned into a dreamy daze of faraway places
an attempt to escape the ugly madness
and badness bursting in bubbles
at that present time she tried to fill her mind with light
a simple way for her to fight the fright which lived inside
she wished to run away
skate on a fast set of wheels to a new place in her mind
she only had one aim
to run away speedily on skates
towards a...

snow white, where are the dwarves
in a cottage there is a girl called snow white
her black hair shines like the moon
as beautiful as a horses mane
red rose petals reveal themselves
with each of her uttered words
dancing on lips, the red lipstick sings
from her sweet and tender lips
rosy cheeks speak of a glow from within
this girl lives with seven sweet friends
the first is a field mouse
she speaks in a squeeky human voice
her name is scaredy cat because you see
she is scared of cats! ha ha, no
she loves cats dearly but is very fearful of this world

questioning myself
the sky speaks hello
to the world
and through the rain
one hears plea's and cries of pain
Nobody realises
but i can hear the moans
through the open windows
i can hear your needs
for the happy glorious sun to return
you want me to silence my soar sounds
but you cannot control the time i cry on this earth
i will cry until my pain has painfully past
all of you in your houses and walking the streets
you refuse to care
so why should i stop for you ?
i wish the rain would leave
so i hear...

the magical forest
this is no ordinary forest
leaves stay strong in autumn and winter
hands tug but nothing shifts from the many twigged tree's
gusts of wind and cold drops of snow fall fast
an inch before the uppermost leaves
and snow shifts sideway speedily
as if by magic, travelling to the left and right
leaving the bunch of tree's behind
underneath the roof of tree's
and in the forest itself lies flowers
one foot tall from the lowest petal to the top
like giant tulips smiling in tow with the fantastical trees
multicoloured like the rainbow ...

the fear is too much
fear is not to be taken likely
so many miles away from a pinch of salt
in my mind i cannot tolerate unease
my nerves are unsettled
by the threat around my eyes
pushing ones way into my skin
unable to relax
because the threat is too close to me
clouds are hovering
different shapes and sizes
i cannot escape
trapped inside a clouded place called fear
a trapped hell
rumbles make noises within my sensitive ears
cracks and pointed points
take me away from the circle of peace
my safe safety shell has been...

to you i am only rain
to you i am only rain
a bucketfull of water
escaping from the clouds
do you really think so little of me
maybe i am a falling fountain
but you cannot climb a ladder
a hill of stairs
to a more beautiful level of thought
i don't understand
why i am so simply termed to you
or why you cannot define me
beyond my looks
maybe you are reluctant
to look within my essence
defining me by a limited definition
and a name called rain
there is so much more to me
i live, breathe and dance through the...

unrequited love
i love you
but you feel nothing
for me
the lost and lonely seeker
with a thousand beats of my heart
to give to you
if only you felt the same
because i feel bubbly and you
you feel nothing for me
floating bubbles surround my heart
encased in strong tidal waves
of devotion
hurting like hell
i simply cannot reach the sandy shore
of my love
alone and overwhelmed
the despair is drifting
through me
why do i have to feel this way
about someone who never thinks about me? ...

dragon in the sky
the sky is clear
a smile without sounds
birds are pushed into the background
by a presence unseen
tiny eyes hide away
in nests and under rose bushes
disguising themselves
inbetween the tree's leaves
curious but fearfully peeking
wandering on the forthcoming form
preparing to fly into the anxious sky
a fiery orange line like a leather belt of strength stands
flame of fire stirs the birds once sheltered wings
and they are perplexed by the shining heat above the tree's
the line of orange and gold
never seen...

nature is pink
nature is pink
pink , because it's gentle
pink , because it's true
leaves on the tree's
and the breeze singing a soft tune
speak softly to me
of a newborn's gentle hands
soft, and ever caring
pink is the word i would use to describe
in truly simple terms
what it is , that i truly see
a sunset appearing before my eye's
pink is there, for all to see
giving the rest of nature , a voice
reminding us of all the pink
around us every single day
the leaves
the blue clear sky
even the girls, and...

some sail through life, others fall
some people live like happy fish in the sea
beautiful waves touching fins
soft water, heavenly amounts of comfort
and pleasant bright sights
safely away from a fishing line
they swim around, the lucky little fishes
swimming in the direction of their choice
waves of beautiful luck
moving with a gentle ease
no threats exist around the corner
the fishermans hook aimed at the cursed and unlucky
those poor little fishes
threatened and pained
whilst living in the sea
flapping about , attempting to race away ...

why are you part of my life
