Know You Better

Know You Better

 

 

I know you will be there at the agreed date and time.

 

I open my screen and there you are;

no excuses, not late, nor disinterested, never vague,

rather switched on, involved, intense, passionate, reflective, attentive.

 

Called to the stand I find a voice.

 

You listen quietly as I speak the unspoken.

Kindly, you allow me to continue

A Bracelet Of Daisies

A Bracelet Of Daisies

the sun slowly set as we kissed

No Voice

Without a voice
I am left here in this world
to forever be silent.
Because as I try to speak,
my voice vanishes so quickly,
so that I'm left here unspoken
with no one to hear what I have to say.
