To Dream Again...
Grey hollow strips,
involuntary pathways that
transverse the uncommon land.
Erosive hollowness cannot
bear this heavy grey load,
for earthy depressions have
underscored the trail.
Yet a lighter load relieves,
with trails quietly restored,
enabling journeys to resume.
Acceptance fills the hollows
whilst hope navigates the grey,
ensuring a better out...

Love
When you looked me in the eyes, I wanted to feel your love
To feel the love that you said, was gone
I wanted to believe with all my heart that you would come back...
I wanted to believe that I could be enough
I wanted to believe that we could grow together but the truth is, it was all an illusion created by a stubborn heart,
Instead, I let you close and you hurt me, broke me, and ra...

Anxiety...My Friend
As this feeling
I feel in my chest
Eats away
My soul
And the emotions
it produces
Coalesce
I stop to wonder
When will it go
Away
Anxiety
Is my best friend
My closest enemy
Anxiety
Is there
For me
And asks one million
Questions
Placing un-needed
Doubt
Within my mind
Anxiety
Questions
The intentions
Of those around
Me
Axiety
My friend
Please let me be
I do not
Need you

Hey-ho!
Hey-ho
I wanna look out
my window
I wanna go where
my thoughts go
But I can't get out of
my bed though
I'm lonely
A sad little
one trick pony
Waiting for someone
to phone me
To tell them this condition
don't own me
I dream about
Simply getting up
and walking out
Seeing what this beautiful
world's about
Filling my lungs and

To The Future
If you find yourself with awful luck.
And that in the deepest hole are firmly stuck.
If you feel from it you'll never rise,
That the world is cruel and harsh in your eyes.
If you feel there'll never be a tomorrow,
And you'll never leave your path of sorrow.
If you feel your life has no point or reason,
And it's loose ends will never find completion.
You must know that life is always ch...

The Sorrows
Its spine slithered, snake-like
around the corpse of my soul
Her withered tongue extracting
from life , what I had stole
Come scream!
Come scream!
For the beast must be seen!
Come swallow
THE SORROW
For there is
no tomorrow !
Such a flaying shall occur
In the pits of our despair !
Creeping, seeping
Rotting eyes weeping!
The ol...

Hope...
The winter sun, poor ghost of itself,
hung milky and wan behind layers of cloud
above the huddled roofs of the town.
Buildings war-burnt and scarred,
tall trees charred and buckled, grotesque
monuments to what once thrived here.
Where was wisdom? Where was hope?
Had they become collateral damage too?
The people crept silently and wept openly,
fearful that their ...

Uppsala Cathedral '92
I.
I have no faith, yet
in this foreign church
I find solace,
sanctuary.
I never expected
to need such a place,
but I sought it out.
A stranger to its ways,
I sit in silence, alone.
Its echoing ambience
embraces me.
City noise and bluster
muffled by centuries-old stone;
it welcomes and warms.
A refuge, I rest:
No more voices.
I can breathe here.
I can be here.
The sw...

Teacher
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong
A teacher....
Teach your students colors,shapes, letters, numbers, teach them about life, and now keep them safe from guns
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong, remember you are a teacher
Teach your students to not be afraid, yet in your heart you know the world is again...

Fingers Crossed.. a poem for our times
Fingers Crossed
The buds now open, sun dispels the dark
The nights of bat give way to morning lark.
And as we emerge, blinking, into the light,
Brim full with fright, and delight,
Apprehensive, yet pensive of all we have faced
And what may lie ahead, braced
Despite it all, against the odds
We hold hands aloft, with fingers crossed.
When threads seem thin which hold...

I think I need a jacket
It's getting very cold
I'll have a look online
It's very easy, so I'm told
I'm not sure that I like it
It feels like it's quite forced
As I swipe through all the options
But there's some I like of course
The first one was suitable,
The pockets just too shallow,
Number three felt like a winner,
Better suited to another fellow
I sometimes sit and...

Justice
Sometimes justice does not prevail,
And life becomes unfair.
Sometimes the hardest workers fail,
And hope turns to despair.
Sometimes we see the fat cats thrive,
And the little people do then suffer.
Sometimes the careless do survive,
While judicious lives do become tougher.
Sometimes punished are the good,
While the sinful are rewarded.
Sometimes the best are misunderstood
And the ...

Lost Love
To hold you in my arms one last time
To feel your touch even though I knew you weren’t really mine
To feel your lips touch mine and again feel your love
Hoping, dreaming, wishing I could bring you back
Hoping, dreaming, wishing to fix this shattered heart
But a touch, a kiss, my love wasn’t enough
You’re not coming back
You’ve chosen
And it’s clear now
Your love is ...
