Weightless in a vacuum void
Floating above the pressure valve
About to erupt
I am the negative of the polaroid
There is no healing salve
For this life overdeveloped

A nucleus of the storm
Pulled claustrophobic taut
My eyes closed wide open
Traversing this daily norm
With the fleshy juggernaut
And the day has barely begun
Amanda Aug 2018
Eyes closed
Breathing in air
Warmed by a dying sun
As life edges to the cliff
To a fall unbroken
Your secrets undisclosed
Now laid bare
Too late to be undone
You can say what if?
But no more lies to shun.

Breathe deep
Approach the end
Bring memories close
A light in the dark
Brings fond farewell
Drift into sleep
And slowly ascend
With calm repose
A quietened spark
In the stars now dwell
A bit of Light and Shade with my writing at the moment. Such is life!

Endless days of summer sun
Finally school is done
Picnic by the sea
With the dog and family
Toes dipped in salted pool
As dad acts the fool
Sand buried up to his head
As the tide edges to his bed
Then running with ball at play
Amongst the frothy tidal spray
Laughing until it hurt
As we rolled amongst the gritty dirt
My brothers, sister and me
A perfect day by the sea
Ended with a sun dipped in pink edged gold
As we headed home on a darkening road
Amanda Aug 2018
Days spent counting the seconds
Grasping each moment
As years pass in a blink
Time to lament
As death opens the doorway
Lifetime lived
Amanda Aug 2018
Laying on a bed of sand
Soft as feather downing
You take hold of my hand
I am floating, drowning
Feeling the blue salt fill me
Your breath kisses my eye
Taking me down to see
Where the turtles fly
Amongst rainbow coral
And fish, timid and shy
Hide amongst a skeletons hull

Gossamer clouds waft over
Driven by a sun tanned breeze
As we lay, cocooned in our ardour
Surrounded by quiet seas
I can feel the blue salt fill me
As your breath kisses my eye
And it’s taking me down to see
Where the turtles fly
Amongst the rainbow coral
And see the fish so shy
Hiding in a shipwrecked hull

Life turns into a lyrical
Orchestra of song, as blissful
Violins play across the heartstring
Ever promising it can be lasting

Adore you
Need you
Desire you

Minds made, choice done
Aligned hearts become one
Ritual of old taken
Romantic words spoken
I give to you
All of me, I do
Growing into age
Every step a travelled page
Amanda Aug 2018
Used to be tangled with you
Stuck together like superglue
It was we, us, one half of two
Mind reading, amazing but true
Yeah, you knew my brain too
But isn’t that what couples do?

It was like when Juliette found her mate
Star-crossed lovers, it felt like fate
I remember our very first date
The apologies, when you arrived late
The film we saw, the popcorn we ate
The goodnight kiss, making my heart accelerate

Six months later, under a neon moon
A diamond needed an answer, and soon
After, in the rose scented month of June
Vows were made as bride and groom
How tender the night of our honeymoon
As our hearts sang in perfect tune

A lifetime of you and me
Now it’s just me, I no longer see
You in the rooms where you used to be
A ghost in the misted rooms of memory
But I still visit the place where me becomes we
Just need to open the door with the love heart key
