Beautiful Erosion
TPL Aug 2019
When the lines appear
We try to wipe them away
Yet is that not who we are
At the end of the day
The wisdom of life's lessons
Battle scars of demons fought
Etched across the canvas of years
Celebrate we aught

Emptiness
TPL Aug 2019
I’ll keep falling
Remind myself breathe
Truth is illuminated
By what I need
All kept by you
Deprivation holiday
Drip fed patience
Resolving nothing
Broken fixture
Bound of Faith
Am I your desirable outcome
Am I your desirable outcome
Am I desired
Am I
Here

No other
TPL Aug 2019
Like a snow globe
Shaken wonder is revealed
My gaze locked
Captivated by turmoil
The eye of the storm
Reflects my shadow
Like no other
I see her.

The greatest
TPL Aug 2019
Could there be
An exception
To all the rules
Clinical correctness
Lack of conviction
The greatest mistake
I would make it, again
And again
Just to see you

Ghost
TPL Aug 2019
Can one tell
What still remains
Transparent reflection
Asks the question
Did I leave
A piece behind
Clouds have lifted
Still I’m scared
Was I once
A better person
Before the shadow
Will I ever
Learn to forgive
Me

Unstuck
TPL Aug 2019
Thoughts float
Disconnect my mind
Take it all apart
To see what's inside
Reconstructing times
Knowing nothing lasts
Experiencing the fall
Hitting the wall
Words and lines
All that is fake
Watching the mirror
Break
Without glue
No rules to adhere
With you
Forever was near
But.........

Who?
TPL Aug 2019
Whilst looking for me
I found you
Now you are gone
I’m unsure what’s true

The end
TPL Aug 2019
Finding closure
As perspectives change
Distorted truths
In the half light
Of a new dawn
Scattered thoughts
Like petals
Dried and crushed
Under footsteps
As we make our way
Back home
Looking for comfort
Looking for love
Looking for our childhood
Innocent no more
We know the end
It’s embrace
Dark, warm and enticing
Waiting
Whispering
Ready
Even if we are not
