Together at last I have fallen in love The killing time is just beginning The days of joy/pain Loss/gain The love The silent telephone The kisses – the parting, The laughter – the sorrow I am in love The killing time is now Visions shattered Dreams uncovered Decaying in the wastes of reality The hopesContinueContinue reading “Killing Time”

When Laughter Dies
Photo by J carter on Pexels.com We once shared a sense of humour You made me laugh until I cried We had such fun together I felt warm and safe inside But as you got to know me To understand me inside out You moved from sweet exploring To focus on my doubt I’d feltContinueContinue reading “When Laughter Dies”
Maelstrom
Photo by Johannes Plenio on Pexels.com Servants of the past illustrated our dreams Where stormy skies are bedecked with hope One time One heart One chosen way That was the only way To travel through life’s softly scented roses Their thorns disguised by long-lived time And false promises The hour will come The change WhenContinueContinue reading “Maelstrom”
Not Lost Anymore
Photo by Keenan Constance on Pexels.com I thought to walk alone through life A victim of these modern days Where love leads straight to grief and strife And very few can find always Instead I found my Mr Right To walk with me where angels tread And I no longer fear the night Or spendContinueContinue reading “Not Lost Anymore”
The Rest is silence
Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com As with a lot of my older work I can see that this piece is relevant to people of all genders, and no matter the relationship.

However, for work you can substitute anything in a relationship that leaves someone in the place ofContinueContinue reading “Push Me, Pull Me, Lose Me.”
Second Best
Photo by Nathan Cowley on Pexels.com SECOND BEST Limpid blue pools to fall into A soft landing to sucker the fey A heart that’s as closed as a solid steel safe Do I dare love you? No way You love an idea that you’ve encountered A belief in the things you deserve And I’m certainContinueContinue reading “Second Best”
Always Chasing
Photo by Yan Krukau on Pexels.com I chose this image because although this poem comes from my ‘More Than a Woman’ series, I honestly believe that all genders have similar experiences in life. The sad thing about this series was that a male friend of mine was going to write poems from a male viewpoint,ContinueContinue reading “Always Chasing”
Wrinkles
Photo by Nashua Volquez-Young on Pexels.com These fingers have bent a million times And this face has creased into thousands of expressions The lines around my eyes arose from Crying at sadness Laughing with joy Wincing at the unkindness of the world And squinting through headaches and bright sunshine This saggy chin has dipped downContinueContinue reading “Wrinkles”
