songbird

People are always going to shout
louder than you.
So quietly sing a peaceful song
and those who care to listen
will sing along too.

Enjoying life on your own terms.

sleep

I cannot close my eyes at
night because where
there should be
black there
is you

!¡!¡

We don’t talk a lot
but when we do
I wish we did more
and I wish all the terrible things
that I did with her
I’d get to do with you
because you would
make them fantastic.

This one speaks for itself.

movie nights

Restless hearts in rested seats
warming hugs in bedroom sheets.
Whispers hide in words so sweet
and laughs will lead our love to meet.

Dark rooms; loud films; hearts collide.

pillow

They say home is where the head lies
but only when my head is laid
next to yours.

A tribute to ‘wrong time, wrong place’

It’s been a lifetime since we last met
Years, in fact
Yet I could still swim inside the blues within your eyes,
An ocean valley of the deepest colours.
Or indulge myself on the tenderness of your lips,
like the loving arms of a mother holding her child.
Your smile breaks barriers between space and time;
your laugh shatters my heart in two.
You glow with the heat of the sun
and shine like the last time we kissed.
I said I’d always love you
and I always have.

What is your masquerade of moving pictures now
that you’ve landed screen down on the floor?
Will you keep your mask as tied to your heart as you keep your cards close to your chest?
I’m beginning to think you don’t even know what lies beneath it anymore.
Would you recognise your own broken skin?
Lines naturally painted to your face?
Curves on your hips?
You were begging for so long to become a work of fiction - how does it feel to not exist?
To have become an echo of toxic vanity?
You filled in all the the cracks for all your followers to see
But now they see them all
As your world shatters
screen down on the floor.

In a world full of characters created online, what would happen if it all went away?

- Part of a project I’m working on.
