Ancient dwelling places, forgotten pathways and neglected graveyards fill me to the brim with an enthusiasm for the mundane. As the fabric of life thins the voices of the celebrated AND the unknown whisper their legacy in the stoney structures which remain.

β€˜Oh, the wizardry of history. All the people who have lived and died,
the people whose stories have survived.’
- Isaac du Toit, Passionately Curious
A bone-weary hollow stomp

with gunmetal lips

tasting of merlot

were prelude

to an apoplectic attack,

a systemic shock when she left

unannounced in the middle

of the night leaving his wallet empty.
Words are from a word bank Contest.
Debbie Brindley Apr 2017
I'm walking behind you
I call your name
My grief so overwhelming
It fills me will pain
Can you hear me
Do you understand
Not so long ago you rocked to the beat of a band
Slowly you turn toward me
Your face a canvas without expression
Your behaviorΒ Β 
Your speech
Filling with indiscretion
Show me laughter
A reaction
So I know how you feel
My life changing so rapidly
It feels surreal
I love you with all my heart
Today
Tomorrow
Forever
This illness that is yours
Is something I Endeavor
When you love someone
Love them with your whole heart
You never know what tomorrow can bring

Poetry doesn't need to rhyme
For every single time
Considering that poetry is emotion
That's evidently in motion
And I desire to write something subtle
Where I'll be thinking hard for a strange title
(J.a.t.m)
