Alone or?AloneApathyEmotions

Apathy?

but as for me I sit far back,
knowing that so much I lack,
alone on windy night I walk,
my heart in bitter whispers talks,
‘the world is against you,
you cannot win,
don’t bother trying,
they won’t let you in’

Falling Alone

falling alone
the world a spin
colours dance
the ground so close
the floor a stairway
hard and cold
rising up
with no embrace
or kiss to face

it cares not that I fall
unremarkable human
unbalanced and alone

we all go down

some brothers in arms
some help on its way
caring voices echoing

memories push towards [...]

Vertical Horizontal

on this ledge I sit
feet dangling
for no support exist
I clambered up here
as a kid of 6
holding a cake

I am right
I will be paid
for all the nights
the snow [...]

going from priceless and invaluable,
from heart warmth and love,
to chilled cheddar cheese,
served on a salver,
now we can sit and talk about value,
ahh, we talk about the love,
but, I can see his shadow,
beyond the doors,
his [...]

Courageousness

Decisions

 

shadows boxing,

slices of my soul,

shadows deep,

light hiding bright,

across the path,

my chosen way,

I must decide,

I must dance,

I must say.

 

 

 

I must decide.

I must Dance.

I must Say.

Emotions

Less is More (or Less)

A drop of incandescent colour
on my warming skin
syncopating perfect time
arrival unforeseen
on a tedious day
on a parched spirit
its beguiling essence unrolling
dissolving into soul
reviving reminders of
strong bright days

the look of love
the touch of hand
words unspoken
words knowingly unneeded
words avoided for
patient bleeding
time is leaving
yet love encircling

one [...]
