I want to flee the scene of sadness,
fast forward to a better time,
or worse yet, playback to a when
i wanted to remain quite still.
But I’ve been feasting on all kinds of bad decisions,
and now the time has come to pay the bill.
I’ve tried to run but it is futile.
I’m always intercepted at the gate.
So I’ll make haste and scoot back home now.
This sadness doesn’t like to wait.

An unpaved road,
A vacant room,
A ball of clay,
A flatlined story
-until you write me,
fill me,
shape me
occupy me....
Designed to be designed,
demolished,
and rebuilt.

I have so often felt
like I was playing a role in this life
Instead of living it

I lose things all the time;
Hair elastics, wallets, keys,
memories.
Over the years, I have begun to lose him too.
I can't recall the colour of his eyes.
I just remember they were the colour of love.
The colour of certainty.
The colour of a home I always knew would remain exactly the same as I left it
Until the day i returned.
Only day never came

The day I disappeared
was just like any other.
You got up,
brushed your teeth,
and looked right through me.

I wait for you
day after day,
observing a parade
of black umbrellas
through a stained glass window
Like an ever-hopeful widow
without a corpse

I’ve stood tall with rising suns
And held my ground with angry seas,
But you,
with your golden eyes
and reckless smile
-you bring me to my knees.
