Lost in Isolation

Let the ripper

Tear away my heart

Built in my chest

Deep in captivity

He forages for new blood

Wanting fresh for to fulfil

His thrill

Reaping is his pill

Along he drags

His shadow

Pulling it around

Nothing exists

Only the cries of an over populated crowd

As he tries to pull me

Deeper into his ways

I must follow him now

I must not betray

He expects me to stay

Prisoner in his shackles

Voices cause chaos

Roaring in his mind

Eyes never close

He may as well be blind

My Award

My mouth watering moments

Carefully moving each side

Pushing in the loose pieces

Nothing escapes

White blue printed willow

Scenery for your beauty

Indulgence

Flavoured moments

A stage

Applauding your arrival

Audience at the ready

A carnival of colour

As eyes close

Savouring each mouthful

Yellow custard

Apple teasing inside

Succulent pastry

Invites moments of silence

Carved

In he struts

Carrying his vegetation in his mouth

Happy dinosaur

Play along to the beat of your steps

Life is timed by landscape

Walk through passages

Those who stepped before you

As you handle

Every mouthful with care

Caught up

In the maze of escaping

The fire

Burning into the night sky

Censured

As the words flow

Sometimes easily

Sometimes hard

I often feel like stopping

Determination keeps

My fight going

Battling on

As music fills my ears

I love the sounds

That dampens the writer’s fears

Story half way there

Will she or won’t she

Will he or won’t he

Will he go there

Trapped in an imaginary

World

Where nothing is as

It seems

Perplexed by her actions

As the door opens up

Mid way

Desk awaits his

New journey

Her hair half way

There

Her finger

Silences his broken words

Half way there

No way back

Will he or won’t he

Will she take a chance  

Our Angel

Little did we know

We would be the last

To know

Your voice

We would never hear again

Your footsteps

Would never go

Our hearts are broken

We are devastated

Beyond repair

A mother

We love so dearly

Once you were there

Now you are gone

In the blink of an eye

We remember your

Smiling face

Your gentle kind words

Your heart was full of love

Our eyes were blind

Taking time for granted

Not knowing that call would come

I watched you slowly slip away

You fought and fought

You didn’t want to go

Today

As I close my eyes

At night

Tears fall along my cheeks

I remember everything

We have done

You’re such an amazing beautiful mum

You’re absence is felt

But I feel my hair been brushed

I feel you beside me

As we die

We are reborn too

A month gone now

It is hard to believe

A mother so loving

So much to give to the world

As we lay flowers on your grave

We say a prayer to you

My stories will always exist

Because of you

A mother so loving so dear and beautiful  x

Daylight

As daylight slowly

Glimmers away

Suffocated by the autumn

Darkness

Waiting in the shadows

The early sun

We barely see here

Sets the alarm

In our minds

Birds waiting along

In a row

For the call

To retreat to safety

For a night of rest

Weather warnings

Bring fear and shut

Everything down

In a country not used

To such devastation

Clocks will be changing

Soon

Bringing less time

Of light

A sea of changing colour

Will form a pathway

Of foot printed

Leaves

Inviting everyone

Young and old

To throw

Them about

With boot covered feet

Kettle on the boil

Warm pots on the cooker

Fires lighting

Cold breath

Breathing out smokeless breath

Perfection

As the brush

Scrapes the paint

Devouring it up

Savouring the colour

Breathing in slowly

Changing forms

Gather along the edges

Of change

Wondrous views

Plummet into an image

Of viewing pupils

As they widen

By the scent

Printed on cold canvass

Edges are the real

Test

Brushing in designed form

Wishing for perfection

As a drip falls

Eyes slowly watch it

Change the flooring underneath

Changing of colour

Like traffic lights

Alarm goes off

In the mind  

They are the enemy

My eyes are

Seeking a hiding place

Absent Heart

Absent was his heart

Dragged along an

Empty rain

Bashed window

Tears from his eyes

Fell lonely

On a stripped

Window sill

Heart in pieces

Hands held out

Wishing

Praying

For her return

As his eyes

Stared into the unknown

Darkness brought

Fears of the future

A lonely

Road he

Would walk alone

His hand

Always held out
