Sometimes you have to lay still a little while
Just to make sure that nothing is broken
Except your heart.
micropoem
Unspoken Anger
It sits,
In the back of my brain
Awaiting it’s freedom
Time clear of refrain
A Sum of Friendship
A cross too hard to bear
Alleviated by love
Share the weight
Ease the burden
Many hearts equal many hands
Words once spoken
Every breath taken
Each word uttered
The tone implied
Emotion stuttered
All our thoughts
Amalgamated
Held or cherished
Loved and hated

Wooden Idols
Mouth gaping,
Jaws of oak
tower above lives
A portal-
into iridescent skies
faith of the unknown
an unsettling presence
and the barefaced shadows
of prayers left unsaid
Written in response to the prompt from Creative Talents Unleashed
The Inconsistency of Truth
4am
And I find myself writing lists
Under the corners of my eyelids
The iris ink lingering
Over the final quatrain
Of this unfinished saga
Busy Bee
Oh to be a bumblebee
Fuzzy, warm and round
Kissing all the daffodils
Who kneel before my crown
Missing context
It’s not that you miss me –
it’s if you miss me while there is still fun to be had.
That’s what really counts.
Shameless thoughts
Thinking of you in the darkness
Because daylight only highlights the blush
Always An Afterthought
“Don’t be mad at me”
She laughs at this expression, yes
Even as her lips form a sullen pout
above the receiver.
She’s not mad at you though,
only at herself –
and her expectations,
and the realisation.
