She howled at the hollow moon,Searching for an answer.Nobody told her the story of the Wolf.And she’d already missed the many chances to run. She howled until her lungs emptied, She howled until her mouth dried. She had loved none, but one. But her one, loved none. To love is to feel, to be a part.To care is … Continue reading Hollow Moon

Silence
You've crept up on me again,Like the slowing waves returning to shore at the end of a long day. You've paralysed me again.The waves are silent, still ebbing and flowing, but without the serenity of before. The world is still in motion, but nothing can be heard. In the wilder moments, the waves begin to … Continue reading Silence
The Storm
During the quietest of moments come the loudest of thoughts.They latch on and suddenly the calm becomes the most unexpected storm.Thoughts, feelings and memories come crashing to the forefront.They have been blown in from years before and plan to stay for the months ahead. Unrelenting and with the tightest of grips, it feels as though … Continue reading The Storm
Ode to 2020
There have been the good days, The bad days, The quiet days,The sad days,The days we’d rather just forget days. But there has always been another day waiting for us. There have been the open doors, The closed doors, The slammed shut doors, The hanging off the hinges on the busy ward doors. But there was always a door to walk through … Continue reading Ode to 2020
Checkmate
You stood in the middle of your board, With the players on the outset, looking in. You thought you were the centre, You thought you were one of the deck. In reality, you were merely a pawn, Pushed & pulled always ready to pass go. You had a board full of moves to make, A … Continue reading Checkmate
Holier Than Thou
When I traipse through my thoughts, Straight into my heart, I am drowned by my feelings. The others seem so, insignificant. As though those years barely existed. She takes over everything. I think of her when I wake, When I play out every day, And when I sleep. She haunts my dreams. She has no … Continue reading Holier Than Thou
Down to Earth
Throw down your silver spoon. I don’t have that to offer you. But I have a heart and a soul. If I give up everything, can you do the same? Can you see past the money? Is there more to this? More than I can bare to see? More than I will allow myself to … Continue reading Down to Earth
The Surface of the Sand
I feel the sand beneath my feet, I see the colour change around my heel. My bare heels dig in deeper, leaving an imprint. Now the surface will never be the same as before. Until the tide comes in and washes away every trace. My foot hits the sand and the water is pushed out. … Continue reading The Surface of the Sand
Oxygen
I've been trying to stray. Trying to stray from my heart and what it feels, But you are still there. Woven into the depth of every nerve, every sight and every thought. I haven't left you, I haven't gone away. But I can not come closer. I can not accept you into my thoughts. Let … Continue reading Oxygen
Glass Vs Gold
Gold has never been in my sights, It is something I have never required, nor desired. I have never needed the smooth, round edges of gold. I have needed glass. Fractured and never again a unified, solid pane. Gold gives me no ambition, Gold does not make me want to be better. Gold lets me … Continue reading Glass Vs Gold
