baggage

baggage

and i have never really understood why i hate luggage.
why i barely own handbags,
and would much rather fit the necessities in my purse.
why school didn't seem so bad if i had less books on my back.

i had never really understood why i hated so much baggage.

until i realised that it was because i already had all of me,
to carry.

At The Sea (Nonet)

At The Sea (Nonet)

At the sea, on the run, on a quest
On a sailing ship decamping
Sailing far to the very end
To the end of the world
Only to free my soul
On a quest for
The unknown
At the
Sea

#Nonet poem

I'm alone at crossroads wandering
But its time to dream a new dream
Spread my wings and fly again
So high like an eagle
Only to seek release
From unfairness
Please dear God
Bless my
Soul

Two Pools Of Midnight

Thine eyes
Were simply
Two pools of midnight
In which I'd stray
To heaven's celestial shores

BURNOUT

Traveler

BURNOUT

I fell in it
A handful of times
Those burning embers
Of love and trust
The consuming flames
Of the pleasures of lust
The perpetual game
Of push and shove

I get tired
And burned out
Running from all
Life's broken rules
And after all
I don't care to revisit
Those old blues
But don't get me wrong
I'm still your one
And only fool

Because you know
Once or twice
In the darkest
Part of life
I was so blessed
To have your light!

I would never take your love for granted.
(My girlfriend edits all my poems for me)

This didn't even trend, how can it be a daily?
Thank you my cyber family!

Glasses of Wine

Glasses of Wine

The table was set.
The morning was fine.
The world lay reflected
in two glasses of wine.

An empty plate
reflected sunshine,
The morning compressed
in two glasses of wine.

What did she see
in undulations of wine?
Were the shapes a portent?
Was there a design?

Were the glasses a mirror
or shadowy sign?
Perhaps they were more
than just glasses of wine.

She and a friend
sat down to dine.
Their reflections drank deeply
from two glasses of wine.

This was inspired by a gorgeous photo that I wish I could post on HP.
Here's the link on Instagram.

STING

Fear stings us all
With the pain that it brings.
But the heart is deceitful
Above all such things.

Broken

Broken

I am so broken inside
But I have
No one to which
I can confide
All the secrets
Way down deep
All of which I have to keep
I wish that I
Could let them all go
But I can't
Not ever
No no no
