I have always loved writing. I have written poems since I learned what a poem was. I became an accountant and stopped writing. Somehow my head convinced me that numbers and words could not occupy the same space...
so fragile like glass destined to shatter but when the sun catches her eye nothing else matters

Fragile
every now and again cracks start to appear along the edges of our carefully constructed realities and for a brief moment Reality shines through and instead of revelling in it we shiver and hastily repair our worlds because God forbid we actually face Reality

Running?
we spend our lives testing limits wrestling faith questioning wisdom pondering existence all in an effort to make sense of it all

we need order
her eyes reflected a distant sky beautiful but bereft of warmth years of toiling in an unforgiving landscape took its toll on her slowly changing her until a cold blue hue radiated from her pores a freak storm separated her from her kind and she was left battling the wind and waves on her own as wave after gigantic crushing wave pummeled her again and again she sank below almost ready to succumb but in the depth of despair deep down in her soul she found the strength to survive and something else an ability of sorts she was able to shield herself from the violence of the storm and raise herself above the waves she wrapped herself in a cocoon storm raging outside absolute calm inside silence absolute focus she looked beyond the storm but it had swept her from all she knew she found herself in a vastly different place everything unknown she buried her birth place in her heart and embraced this new world fully in this place she healed herself and others always helping never harming it was almost as if she was atoning but never reaching the point of full atonement she was not from here but she was Home

Techno?
Like the millions of stars Which shine late at night Each star cast adrift in space Following its own flight Or the millions of grains of sand Which scatter the beaches and sea Blown by wind or washed by water Each following its own destiny So scatter the tiny fragments Of my broken heart Broken by a man who shot Askew with Cupids Dart Now I'm left in the shadows Of a love that could have been Wondering aimlessly like a ghost Searching for the scene of its crime...
