Forever with Me
OpenPage Apr 2017
Come dance with me,
Under the pale moonlight.
In the magical world,
Where I dream at night.

Come laugh with me,
Smile your beautiful smile.
Let's talk for hours,
Then stay for a while.

Come sit with me,
And grasp my hand.
I’ll take comfort from your touch,
While I struggle to understand.
Come lie with me,
Hold me in your embrace.
Till my eyes flutter open,
To find only empty space.
Dedicated to my mum, who I miss with all my heart.

Shades of Self
OpenPage Apr 2017
Pastel shades of bright lights shimmering,
Reflecting on a pool of glass.
An empty vessel, cracked and broken,
Splintered fragments of my past.

White gulls soaring, azure shadows.
Ruffled feathers mottled grey.
Murky waters lapping shorelines,
Am I real or your cliche?

Heavy heart of thumping cadence,
Tears of sorrow stain my cheek.
Strange vibrations leave me hollow,
Deafened by my piercing shriek.

Alone and shivering, seeking solace,
I rise to meet the titian dawn.
Warming rays restore my confidence,
And in its radiance, my soul’s reborn.
Everybody hurts, sometimes.
