Somewhere over nowhere

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

Settling into the colours of life

We grow into tomorrows we do not know

Our scars become familiar pathways

That lead to the house of forgotten times

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

Scent of a memory

In front of me
A cluster of candied lights
I close my eyes and a sickly sweet smell
From memory floats back

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

I'll stay on this page

For this seems to be the last one.

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

Parched

A dry throat
Yellow eyes switch to ****** red
Fingers curling in agony
Floating in a pool of regret

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

Sing me a love song

Me?
But I can only sigh.
And wait for a dead melody.

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

Half histories

Tearing out the pages
Of unwanted history
From a mahogany back
Splattered with blood

Somewhere over nowhere Jul 2020

The sleeping child

Her head on one lap
And feet sprawled across another
Her midriff was levitating in darkness
