Your eyes said it all ...

by Sam Kellaway

entry picture
Your eyes said it all, there were no words
I had no excuse, I had no defence
A moment of madness, but still I knew

Knew I had wronged you, knew it was me
But still I was blameless, another’s fault
The other had tempted me, she was the one

You sat there crying, wringing your hands
Silence so full of feeling it cut me deep with
layers of our love slipping away in every tear drop

I t...

Lost Child

by Sam Kellaway

entry picture
I never saw him grow up, I never watched him bloom
Taken away on the day of birth, I never knew his name!

I bought a cuddly rabbit and named him after me
Then left him by the bedside as a token of my love

A child born of a child, he didn’t stand a chance
Whisked away to a ‘better life’, I wonder where he is?

I know I could never have given him, all that he deserved
But did they...

Questions in shadow

by Sam Kellaway

entry picture
Too many broken promises
Too many doors block the truth
My life is a worn out recipe
of something that never was cooked

Feelings that often gave chase
on the beautiful face of a child
are now deeply buried and hidden
neath the dust and the cobwebs of age

Of what I was once is now missing
lost in a multitude of lies
with mislaid sanity gazing
into empty eyes of dread

Insecurity f...

Moment in Time

by Sam Kellaway

When I was two, I could never imagine being seven
Cleaning my own teeth, dressing myself
Sitting on a proper chair, eating real food
Being understood, and wearing proper pants

Then in a flash of life I was seven and reading
Asking questions all the time, with my nose running
Trying to catch a ball, eager to learn, to live, to laugh
Never really understanding but alive in every atom

Soo...

Coming out

by Sam Kellaway

entry picture
Tender days of yearning, longing to be free
Love amongst the school books, crying out his name
What was this teenage worship, how did I want him so
Was this to be my future, was I to join the foe

Would I be one so bullied different from the norm
Trapped in a world of bias, hiding all my feelings
Forever as a shadow, creeping through the night
Alive and just existing but only deep inside...

Dead Whispers

by Sam Kellaway

entry picture
I craved solace from a whirlwind of hesitation
Always doubting my crazy path across the heavens
In essence, a week of Tuesdays had stilled my heart
Leaving yet more carefree flotsam in my mind

The shimmering light descended on my shadowed eyes
Scorching the hallowed anguish that hid behind
So feeling nothing more than an emptiness of virtue
Isolation, my new best friend, got up to see...
