M/Northwest England Written without plan or permission, these poems collect what passes through my mind when it is mostly awake. / Questions, doubts, fragments of feeling — held briefly before they melt, harden, or drift away.
I don’t know how I got here. I don’t know how to go. I don’t know if it was enchantment… or whether I wished it so. But now I circle endlessly. Will I break this orbit — and travel far enough to go…? Or will your gravity pull me closer, keep me… just for show.

Trapped in your orbit.
They say silence is golden. But it’s a heavy weight to bear. It glimmers—shines—with too much density there, compressing against memory, revealing a shine still there. Gold is desired for wealth, but memory doesn’t live in it— just a cold element, no ache of confusion, only a stillness filled with despair. It rests without a moment, no reason why everyone stares. Silence is golden— but not when no one is there.

Painful Gold
I see you every day, and I think you see me too. I wonder where you wander, I wonder what you do. Eyes glistening blue, brightly holding a thought. Should I have noticed, or is it just for you?

I See You
Why do I care? I know I’m not supposed to. When you’re here, when you’re there, when you’re gone— but still there. Why do I care? Is it so wrong? So awkward? Should I stay quiet even if you returned? Why do I care? Should I be ashamed? Should I apologise? Or should I just— not care? Maybe… I care, so there 😋

Why Do I Care ?
It is time. The moment has come. The chiming of the bells. That time again — change on the horizon, when we promise ourselves we’re going to be different. We are on the path: to be healthier, more confident, make better choices. Do the thing. Destiny awaits. Starting from… tomorrow. 😴

New Year 2026
Something frozen in a water glass— a brilliant red rose locked in crystal ice. Held in time, its beauty and grace safe only for a moment. One careless touch, or a warm embrace, and it could crumble— or slowly melt away.

The Ice Rose 🌹
You call it distance. I call it silence. We both pretend it’s fine— will time smooth the edges and leave nothing left to say? Will the cracks weld together while the silence still remains? How did a friendship break between us so quickly after it was made? I tell myself not to care. You probably do the same. Should I try to repair this— or should I stay away? I wait for silence to speak first. A little hope remains. Maybe it never will. Maybe I’ll just fade away.

Silence Between Friends
A feeling ? A motion ? A philosophy ? A myth ? Is it an illusion or just a word we can't resist?
