Sometimes my thoughts
get jumbled,
random words stuck together
No coherent sentences

And I have to take
each word
and stick it together
with the next
And I write it down
before
it
slips
my
mind
again

Those thoughts
in ink
become one with the page

Pinks and oranges
seep into the blue
Clouds ripple through
Sun dips beyond horizon
Super Moon takes centre stage
ready for the big performance
As darkness rises
it makes you remember that
there’s nothing more beautiful
than the sky

To be alone at night
sat on my windowsill
I never feel truly alone
Not when I can draw
faces in the stars
and when I look up
the Moon smiles back
What a comfort
to be surrounded by this

I’m sat at a crossroad,
can’t remember my way home
Someone’s stolen all the signs,
I think they stole the Sun too
It’s dark and i’m cold
Moon shivers behind thick clouds
My feet too tired to follow a path
So here I sit in the middle,
maybe until someone returns the sun
and I can see clearly again

Everyone has their favourite times,
sat on that hill watching the sunrise
or at home watching tv whilst it’s pitch black outside

When this moment you’re in feels safe
Tastes like candyfloss
and smells like comfort and lavender

You wish by stopping the clock
time itself would pause
You wish you could collect all
those wasted moments
and use them in that moment so it never stop

But instead those moments
were eaten up greedily
and given to those moments
you’d rather not remember

There’s a tree by the river
I see it from my house
So far in the distance

It looks so small
Stands tall, alone
The greenest of leaves

Just wants to exist
Be a part of nature
Remain in the distance

Small talk is difficult
Everyone else knows what to say
But my brain just glitches
and all the words fall to the floor
By the time i’ve picked them all up
it’s too late and they’re bored
