loneliness (Remove filter)
ANOTHER GREY DAY
My eyesight’s going
My nasal hair is growing
And my hair now looks so grey
My knees are creaking
My elbow joints are squeaking
And my voice won’t work today
As I sit down on the tiles
It’s not good for my piles
And I start to really feel my age today
My back it sometimes aches
My favourite meal is now Corn Flakes
No one cares about what I might have ...

LONELINESS
They say you can be lonely in a crowd
(Probably more so if the noise is loud).
Perhaps the trick is being at ease
With having just yourself to please
It's wrongly thought that being alone
Means being lonely on your own.
For some perhaps this may be true
And I sympathise with you.
Look inward - take some comfort there

The Shadows On The Wall
Although I scream I am here! the words just won’t fall

the wind invites me in when no one else has thought to
the lazy waves take their time rolling up
the toddlers mix mud, as their parents hold a conversation
the older couple holds hands like they're still in love

Unravelling
"Like peeling an onion" you said.
No.
More; unseaming
Slipped stitches,
Knotted aims,

Fingers fumbling at loose seams,
Unravelling weaves,
Desperate hems,
Moth eaten, scrapped themes.
Now, all I am is an empty spool,
Someone's discarded thimble.
Rethread.
Try the pattern again.
