One day I’ll dance beyond the grave
A kiss for you, I will save
For trust flows in harmonious

Fear not—our souls will meet again
In timeless waves

, my darkness
The last of my flickering light vanquished
I lie in turmoil, wrapped in anguish
Dead awake, I’m running on empty
Feeling defeated by plenty
What’s left when all hope is gone?
I ask, in all honesty…

Another risqué kiss in a verse
Lust is at my fingertips
Being hooked is love wrapped in curse
Another risqué kiss in a verse
Ecstasy I can’t rehearse
Be that drop of rain on petal lips
Another risqué kiss in a verse
Lust is at my fingertips

Our senses to the limit

Sever electrical signals in her brain
Half weak and limp
Halves the gal she used to be
One week to recover
Another to build up strength
Just to battle it all over again

From the climax of that first bite
You meet all my endorphins’ demands
Hitting the spot just right

Trees whispered a secret
Of a lost witch
Ghostly gallops sealed her fate
Buried at night by rooted hate
Horseshoe nailed to her coffin
Blocking resurrection, forever forgotten
Yet, here you are again, seeking direction
Your secret is safe, you have our protection

Lingering for decades, hitting the right nerves

Scars twist tales and stirs
Inner demons to be unkind

Not in my nature to forgive or forget
I’m riddled with rage and regret
Time wasted wondering in the dark
I embark on a quest for

Reining in my composure
I take solace that at least one of us is happy

Hearing the siren’s call
She dived off the

Plunging into the deep
Time struck still
Thoughts no longer ill
Kissed by the sea
She was finally free

Behold the blank canvas
What madness can I spill?
Oh, my Ink-splattered stanzas
Divined by dancing couplets
Tell a truly twisted tale
Have I gone completely mad?!
I crinkle the

They’ll all be so glad -
The only stirring I do now is inside my cup

My love,
What words could I possibly write
To the sound of crickets serenading in the night?
It’s only when the rays of the sun trace your face
That I see - you’re my whole world

Hear Thor’s thunder roar
Feel his wrath tremble
The black sky ignites
In a flash, the inception of time passes
Inspiring us all to reach new heights
Hold on to that key
For change sails upon a chaotic sea

There was once a young maiden with dark glossy hair
Who needed to sleep all day and night to repair
Having lost all sense of time
She was no longer in her prime
And laid beside her white locks unaware

Promoted from a very stingy situation
To a young German soldier’s garb
Only to get caught again in the barb

Who wanted to learn how to dance
It spun with a spoon

Shattering its only chance

I begin as if I were ending
Like the sun is descending
Life flashes like stars in the sky
Wishing for dreams that never die
Stories of what could have been
Shelter me in this obliterating scene
I begin as if I were ending
Because the sun is…

Stripped of everything
#Love

Wrapped under each other’s wing
Stripped of everything
We lub-dub and sing
Caged by choice, we live
Stripped of everything
Love is all we have left to give

Sewn with threads of retribution
Voodoo stabs their execution
Blood pours out of button eyes
That sees through all their rotten lies
Pin-pricked till death do us part
Revenge is Voodoo’s only art
Venom seeps through stitched-up veins

#Hardwired

Send in the artillery
Guns blazing
Systematically power-phrasing
Though it does nothing for the wounded soul
She struggles to her feet -
Waving the flag of defeat
Breathless, she calls out, ‘I’ve lost all control – I repeat – I’ve lost all control.'
You, my gem, my

I’ve held on to you since I was twenty
Having stood out among the plenty
Eyes of emerald green radiate

Igniting my heart’s longing
For love and a sense of belonging

Elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth; hear my call

A kindling fire -

Give me the

Descending into the bowel of Wales
Darkness met with flickering light
Canaries sing merrily despite
Clink! Clink! Thud! Colliers strike gold
Pit ponies and hauliers hauled
Young lungs turn

A Hundred billion neurons in our brain
Each with a resting voltage of seventy millivolts – that’s insane
Thoughts wave towards the electrical tide
Sparking fresh ideas from the cerebral sea
Igniting like

It fuels a storm of

Seeking fortune and retribution

With rum in their veins, destiny awaits
Compass and stars seal their fates

Drifting along with no obvious direction

I’m a nomad wondering free

Earth stopped its spin
Hearts flutter within
Will Atlas’ strength cave in?
Atlas winks at the sun and smoulders
Jolting the globe right off his shoulders
Rolling it onto his fingertip
Earth starts its spin

Their lives brittle
Twined in barbed wire
In line of fire

Lame like horses

Sea of pellets
Among the dead

Drowning in chocolate, Wonka tossed

From ears and from eyes, nose and lips, to this day, chocolate flows right out in steady drips.

Although the future is

Seize the opportunity to restart
Although dreams can be challenging
Strive to complete that work of art
Although love can be damaging
Embrace it with all your heart
Because one thing is for certain
The curtain will eventually fall

An ode to the

For scribbling nature’s semantics
I stand where you once stood
Where your heart once leapt
Oh, how I feel your passion in the wind
Soaking up the sublime

And through my own lenses
I relive your senses

narcissists find difficult to speak
It’s in their DNA to play games, gaslight
Hide their nasty behind manipulation
And seek domination in every situation
You can’t argue with a toxic tongue
You’ll stand out as the crazy one
Alone; forgotten; in your own little
Salty breeze, the chase is on
The

A life for gold no longer pains
Captain orders, ‘Hoist the flags!’
As he navigates in bloody rags

Oh, Goddess of Spring
Rise from the wintery
#ashes
, sing away our blues
Arouse the daffodils and daisies from their duly snooze
Beckon the lambs to skip and play and wield the sun to laugh all day
Don’t forget to whisper to the trees: ‘It’s time for shade’
And watch them blossom
Under the sunlight
Skipping together was our favourite game
Until I kept getting picked on for calling your name
Using the lamplight
You would shapeshift and mime
Until you flapped your wings one last time
Now a

I stand alone under the shade

As the year comes to an end, I want to thank you, friends, for your continuous support, kindness and laughter. 💛
Your presence here has been comforting, to say the least. For me, 2023 has been a shedding year and accepting the unacceptable for what it is...
I am so grateful

Reach into the looking glass -
Open the windows to your soul
And dive into the eye of the storm
Wind chimes chime a time not yet chimed
Soft lullabies of eternity tell stories
Their lyrical gnosis awaken your senses

There's never a dull moment on our walks

Wrestling with his friends on the muddy green
I roll my eyes as he never stays clean
Fetching the ball, he's faster than a rocket
Cos, he knows there are treats in my pocket

She gave him the key to her heart
‘Death do us part,'
Vows that were made
Sliced by a blade

Blood flickers from bough
And crisps under our feet
We do not morn its loss
Embracing it instead with ease
