Christmas Wishes In the corners of our living rooms, stand trees adorned with lightsBaubles glisten and the angel atop watches over the presents each nightAs they lay below; paper sheltering the truth of what lies withinBoxes and odd shaped packages; some with a bow, some tied with stringAll adding to the creation of a mostContinue reading “Christmas poem (cheesy of course!)”

Once again
As another unit of 365 days strolls to its close I reflect, once again, because that’s what I always do. Once again, I look back on a journey with highs and lows and some roundabouts. As with any other year, I toiled I loved I laughed I felt disdain I grieved I made mistakes; SomeContinue reading “Once again”
Hunger
Sometimes I wish that I was not so hungry for you.
Globetrotting
Happy holidays Relax Worry not for small things You’ve forgot to pack With your travelling shoes on Head out and explore All that’s out there and that leaves you wanting more See things with new eyes that peer out from behind shades See the joy in life before it starts to fade Board that plane,Continue reading “Globetrotting”
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed The rules remain the same as they have always done as they did years ago They didn’t suit you then They still don’t suit you now but they haven’t changed And neither have you! You, who has the gall to stand there and shout me down acting like I’ve done something wrongContinue reading “Nothing has changed”

The end of a hard week
The pull of the pub and the pull of a pint to ease the pressure of a difficult week You may find a friend You may be alone You may just unwind to the random, background tunes fresh from the 90s or some other distant era Often people are loud as the alcohol dulls theirContinue reading “The end of a hard week”
Distorted Angel
At peace but discontented In love and yet at war Allowed but then prevented An open and shut door Tired and yet so wide awake An ambitious low-achiever Running, tripping, heading back, The truth, a real deceiver Spiteful on the inside yet pleasant in demeanour You think you know the real her and yet noneContinue reading “Distorted Angel”
Wonderland
Wearing a coat of finest wonder Dressed in a smile so wide that it blocks the path of those who approach They note the upward tilt of my lipsand the shiny white teeth and reciprocate before squeezing by. For I have arrived in wonderland with its paradisiacal fields filled to the brim with the sightsContinue reading “Wonderland”
The Dark Wood
Deep in the densely overgrown woods I stand Mistakes and misfortune litter the path behind me Ahead of me, I search for the light For an easier track free of the thorns that snag at my arms and the branches that reach out to pull at my hair Hoping for some companions to join meContinue reading “The Dark Wood”
