Lifting Fog – A Poem
I think about the times all hell Has consumed my brain. Stuck in a thick black tar, But happy, because at least I was warm. I have been scared of my fear, Thinking of the monsters I have nurtured in my past. But I have set them free and Now they are lost. They wantContinue reading “Lifting Fog – A Poem”
Salt and Sea – A Poem
How long do we stargaze? Boating away to some far off As dust covers us And leaves us forgotten. We exist within our own. The sea is not tranquil As we breathe in ourselves an ease That does not take to the waters. How delicate a process To wither in depths She was old andContinue reading “Salt and Sea – A Poem”

A taste of peace caresses the air, A warm necessity tenderly loving the naked. A terror had passed and like a wave had disappeared Into the sea of ambivalence . Some one is crying , Somewhere. Out in the world, a wet face begs the skies for answers, Only a cloud can whisper gentle silence. The worldContinue reading “Manchester – A Poem”
Town – A Poem
It is very easy to forget the world is there When there is just you and the smell of hot stone. A peaceful hum of industrial fans. The comfort of knowing you’re not alone, But the silent peace of having your own. A cooler breeze now caresses the skin, That the sun tasted too feverishly,Continue reading “Town – A Poem”
Hall – A poem
Murmurs through dusty glass. Certainty fading amongst the lesser coloured chairs. The heat eeks out sweat. A solitary bead drips down an aching thigh. The cool of a room. Quiet. Empty. Singular.
