Labelled
Becoming slowly unrecognizable to yourself and others
Feelings and thoughts take
a hold, giving you the shudders
Memories and emotions that seem to flood your heart
Faces and places making it hard to know where to start
Decisions throughout the day, waiting to be made
Resting again in bed where it all just seems to fade
Urges of wanting help yet not knowing what to say
Triggers causing you...

New Years 2023
As the year of 2023 comes to a relieving close
We think over the good and bad times we chose
Memories stack up again and then begin to fade
Thinking up New Years Resolutions to be made
We begin to look to the joys of a fresh New Year
Where we start to wave a huge good-bye to fear
Tears and worries that consumed part of 2023
Are left behind as the New Year brings a new me
With the help of R...

Spring
There's something about this season, Spring
Waking up to birds as they, sing
Trees and its blossom show subtle, pinks
Clouds and rain, for thr earth now drinks
The sun reappears, having such a glow
As if it were trying to say, hello
I go to the garden to walk around
To see what other things are found
Butterflies with their colorful wings
How this season holds such beautiful, things.

Lockdown
Going to bed then waking up late, what lies ahead?
We ask you fate
Jogs in the winter sun around the area,
Becoming healthy - losing weight
With hope in the vaccine and wanting to be immune
We look to this date
Remembering things of the past, finding comfort
Talking to a mate
Thinking what we have done and future plans
Good and bad times we know await.

Misfortune
Letting someone else's light shine brighter than mine, isn't such a prideful crime,
I should listen to what people have to say, to have the attitude of 'come what may',
Speaking my mind being always kind, the truth is what I then, shall find,
I think, I think, I think too much, I would rather not about such and such,
I learned to appreciate from a distance, family and friends, I love within an...

Rhubarb, Rhubarb, Rhubarb [song version]
Rhubarb, Rhubarb, Rhubarb
When I was very young it wasn’t very hard
You could find rhubarb in every back yard
A ruby red treasure growing from the ground
Worth its weight in gold and so easily found
Your mother would cook it and put it in a pie
But its very best use – and I tell no lie –
Was to dig it up and treat it like grapes upon the vine
By turning it by magic int...

This is not a draft
I don’t want to mask my poetry
I want you to understand me
Curse your perfect rhythms, rhymes, haikus
Your lyricism, your literary
When I try to adopt it, I turn mute.
Something channels through me
(I’ve never really found the root)
A demanding stream of consciousness
That cannot stop to breathe, let alone
Wait, conceptualise, draft, redraft
I can’t!

Timeless Torment
In the blackest of your moments, wait with no fear
Why do I feel your words and presence, so close and so near?
Are we doing this again, communicating through signs?
How is this even possible, when I am no longer yours, and you are no longer mine?
It’s been six months, when will this end?
I can still feel you, this connection won’t seem to bend
If we were not soulmates, then ...

Weaving Lines
In script, I chase elusive breath, emotions' subtle pleading,
Such words enfold, deceit swathed in a tender, soft misleading.
To paint the world through poet's lens, the rarest hues I borrow,
In stanzas sail, through mind's vast sea, where verses trade in sorrow.
A tinkerer of syllables, line by measured essence,
Might muse perceive a poet's form, shadowed in your presence?
We waltz beneat...

The Inner Feeling
The inner feeling
In which they are hidden
There’s no power of healing
The things that are forbidden
A little, tiny, very small
Peeking through the wall
Short, not very tall
The most whimsical of us all
Power we cannot see
The ghastly things are up for a walk
The prisoners are we
Suddenly we’re not able to talk
A dried fiend,
A false end,
At...

Karma's Consequence
Now I’ll be like your ghost
You’ll feel me everywhere
But I’ll be nowhere to be seen
Haunted by my memories
Tortured by my presence in your heart
And I’ll miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And as you wander in search of others
To fill the void, gain a sense of fulfilment
As your luck and name change meaning
You’ll soon begin to realise
All roads lea...

Penguins, Popsicles and Polar Bears
Astronauts were packing it in.
Wrapping up a long mission
when the ships sensors had a vision.
Beyond the hill of ice.
On a planet deemed to have no life.
A sign of life before them
beyond the hill were penguins.
Sliding down the peak
with Popsicles in their beaks.
A bundle over polar bears
sat watching in folding chairs
on the planet of Coldairus.

Final Farewell
My Darling,
You hold so much sadness in your eyes
I can almost touch the scars of your soul and cry
The twin flame I once saw in you
Turned into a stranger
Whom my heart cannot recognise
Someone I never knew
Thinking of life without you
Makes me feel as though
I will never see summertime again
And the coldness of an eternal winter fills me with woe
No matt...

Monster in the Mirror
They say that twin flames go through periods of separation
And this I know to be true
For you were right, we did need this time apart
However, I am praying it doesn’t last
I needed to discover me and you needed to discover you
Because even though we are one, our souls have still been split in two
And we needed to work on ourselves separately
In order to reunite anew

Soulmate Symphonies
If you desire to heal, let yourself fall ill
You desired peace
So undoubtedly, with every hardship, there comes ease
If you only have the strength to believe
I forgive you for doing as you please
I am proud of the changes I have seen
It’s making me believe, perhaps you are changing into the man I knew you would be
I believe you may have read my words
And I want you t...

Last Lies
I told you I wouldn’t write you any more poems,
And in that, I lied
For don’t you know
You’ll always be the apple of my eye
However this poem is different, it’s unlike mine
I mixed others I’ve read
Hoping you’ll someday see what has been said
May you read the rhymes and know it’s me
But the mix-up of phrases I wanted you to see
That despite my best efforts
The...

Desperate Despair
I am trying to move on
As I’ve realised this time you’re truly gone
But what am I supposed to do
When everything reminds me of you?
Every day, I have been searching
For you, my lonely heart has been yearning
With a pit in my stomach and a lump in my throat
I found your account and now I know
All my suffering has been in vain
My broken heart and all my pain
I...

Lost Love
Words cannot express the pain
I feel at your hands once again
My entire heart has been torn apart
Smashed on the ground into tiny shards
Like the Christmas ball that bore our names
Scattered over the floor, all in vain
And while I hurried to pick up the sharps
I looked up only to watch you laugh
In my desperate attempt to fix what’s broken
For you to tell me I’m...
