The Fullest Moon
Lilly Gibbons Oct 2016
The moon hangs from an invisible thread in the sky
As clouds sit obediently below
Waiting for the next shadow cast, giving way to new direction, a guiding light towards home.

The Mixology of Fear
Lilly Gibbons Jan 2015
Shame on you for giving up before we reached the end,
No full stop or decrescendo ever came.
Onto you I place this guilt, it was never meant for me,
In time the trees will shed their leaves, bringing clarity.
Endless tappings on my heart to let me know your there,
And after all the good times end, where are you, no where.

Shame on you for letting me get trapped in your everyday,
For allowing the graceful fall, from pillars of beauty,
You have toppled the greatest of trees.
Its not enough to say farewell, times were good.
I should have known better, I shouldn't have looked,
But how clever of you to know that I would.

Shame on you for invading me, my thoughts no longer run clear,
They are fused with you's and wants and wishes,
Can't you see you have created, a cocktail of confusion,
The mixology of fear.

What do you say?
Lilly Gibbons Nov 2014
I have a plan. It involves you and me.
To go to the sea, to see what has yet to be seen,
To be where no other ought to be,
To follow no footprints left in the sand,
Walking ever so quietly, hand in hand.
Reaching a place not stood on before,
Looking out to the night from a wondrous shore!

#ForeverisNever
Lilly Gibbons Jan 2015
If forever is never than now is the time to reach for the clouds, become the sublime.

Live in the hot sips of tea each morning, let colourful skies free you from mourning. Know that a stroll can lead somewhere new, bask in expressions, they symbolise truth. Give hope with smiles to all, connect with your eyes, aware of distant pains, knowing they subside.

If forever was never what comes with such pleasure; action, decision or pain? Living for today, forgetting expectations, think of all that there is to be gained.

The Signs
Lilly Gibbons Jun 2015
Is this the sign? What we were waiting for.
A place beyond the bright blue skies,
The time told we said would be near.
Is this the place? The one where we say our goodbyes.
When everything becomes nothing,
Pretending that we had once tried.
Is this the new path? It stretches oh so far.
How do we see what is coming?
When we have been lost in the dark.
Is there a someone who's waiting?
For a person to give them the sign.
What is yours is always yours truly
But what is mine is yours and not mine.

Only Us
Lilly Gibbons Jan 2015
I have a plan! It involves you and me,
To go to the sea to see what has been left to seen,
To be where no one ought to be,
To follow no footprints left in the sand,
Walking quietly, hand in hand.
Reaching a place not stood on before,
Looking out to the night from a wondrous shore.

The Truth
Lilly Gibbons Jan 2015
Had I allowed you to feel how I feel
You might think differently,
Seeing as me, through eyes unfiltered.
