Grief (Remove filter)
WDINDOY
Why do I not dream of you?
The ocean grows darker, it's calling too deep
But I build a bastion of love in my sleep
So why do I not dream of you?
Why do I not dream of you?
A lawlessness reigns in the unconscious sphere
It whispers of fragments, a sense that you’re near
So why do I not dream of you?
Come, now let me dream of you
Let us run freely in worlds w...

Bold & Silent
I turned the volume down so I could hear you.
Everything is still too loud.
Too many voices, and not the one I needed to hear.
I want to hear.
Mourning that lasted for nine hundred sixty four days.
Salty tears soaked waterlogged greenery.
Droopy head. Droopy leaves.
Pruning a root bound plant
Repot.
Acclamation felt like dormancy
Dormancy was intense

Somewhere
Gaza: a father beats the floor in grief
As he feels his son’s last desperate breath.
It seems indecent to say any more,
As when, that evil Saturday morning,
A Holocaust survivor was cut down
During a crimson-coloured bout of rage.
I tell myself: this cannot be the best
That humankind has to offer. One day,
The innocent will inherit the Earth,
The puffball types in unifor...

There were fireworks tonight
There were fireworks tonight
And each time there was a spark
It reminded me of your heartbeat
You're still lighting up my life everyday
Every breath I take is harder than the previous
My life is so incomplete without you
It feels like I'm breathing underwater
Where oxygen is scarce until you come back up
I would do anything to have you here with me
Life seems to be getting harder as ...

A loss of life & words
I lost my Brother, and my poetry went with him
Words replaced by a bottomless hollow
Knowing he has not one more tomorrow
The words I needed drifted away
Hiding from the light of day
Wallowing in a sea of grey
The sea, which drowns us all
When someone dear passes away
He liked a drink, and liked a fag
But was the best brother I could have had
'A good looki...

Sunsets
Erecting her easel
at the foot of the boardwalk
she mixes the paint
a hell-fire pink and crimson
and dips her brush to begin…
She paints
the end of all things
a voice lost to the fractured mind
the final moments of a life
a hand slipping away
She paints
farewell hospital conversations
her father’s beard as a cloud
she thins the blue paint with her tears
She colours in his eyes
L...

In Love In Angst
Whoever wants to die before his time-
Is not in love. How can it be so true
For someone who has seen
Both sides of the coin from the same distance!
War and peace, no matter -
You can’t afford to be slipped over.
So much to feel within, so much to feel
For, so much to feel genuine.
Yet you look for the end in itself?
Deep intimate theories invading

retail therapy
I stopped seeing my therapist
she moved on to start her own practice
So I've started going out more
eating less
using useless utilities until I give out
my hands reaching for my purse
my fingers finding the chip

Friday Morning Chemo Brain
Today at school, I locked myself in the bathroom
so I could cry where no one could see.
Things aren’t the same anymore and I don’t know
how to communicate it.
I find myself unable to do the simplest things—
to comprehend, to remember, to articulate
the things I could before.
This morning, I sat in silence and stretched and breathed in deeply,
and I said t...
