So
Sorry is a stupid word.
The thought before the action wasn’t sorry.
The action was meaningful in whatever form it took.
Keep your sorries.
Change the thoughts that run riot and cause chaos.
Action speaks loud.

A billion stars lay twinkling above me in the dark void of the night.

I searched for eternity
There are no answers here
Rai May 2023
When the numbness subsides
What then?

When the breath
Feels stale in my lungs
And my heart is heavy
Will you …

’We broke  the bones of each others words and savoured on its marrow’
(Joel M Frye - talking of the old hp)
These are not my words but those of a man in passing.
I just wandered along the corridors of his soul scribbled on walls that no longer feel his presence but will forever hold the man, a poet , a friend , a blessing.
Your words can never die
They are written in stars so bright
And oceans as deep as the darkness you were left to fight .  
May you find beauty in death
May you find peace
God dam it
May you find heaven.

Oh but for those melancholy days
Where within our poetic playground we found connections like none other .
It was beautiful
It was more
It was so much more
So thank you for your part
In a time that was a blessing to us all .
May you rest
May you journey onwards discovering all that is to come

To sweetness you go
I can feel this.
Joel M Frye - I shed a few tears today , I’ll light a candle and wish you well on your journey .

the amount of light
expressed equals how much of
our dark we explore
Grazie, Denah.

Love

Lonely word that causes joy and pain and has the weight of the world upon its shoulders .

Only when we love ourselves will we be ready to find true love
Are we born loving ourselves ?
In which case we are just pulling down the brambles that have grown around us to find our way back to self.

Vows made between lovers
To be torn by  
or kept sacred
Only time will tell.

Everlasting renewal
Of feelings that we thought would stay hidden but in reality only sit just below the surface.

This is love
Love is this and so much more

An outstretched hand
And all I felt was cold inside…

Too many yesterdays
Leaves all my tomorrows just a day away …

Sunshine warms my skin
But my heart is so cold
It doesn’t trust
The padlock is too large
And the key is lost …

Love that is blind causes unspoken pain
Love that is soft
Becomes like rain
Love that is broken
Thats it!
It’s broken
just broken
There’s no more here to say …
