Poetry – Where Did It All Go Wrong?
Where did we go wrong, When did we stop communicating, What made your spark die, Why did I pick up your phone? Was life really that bad, Was it something we could have talked about, What made you lie, Why did I pick up your phone? Well, the truth is out now, What lies ahead,…

Poetry – How Do I Say I Love A Girl
How do I say I love a girl? Do I just go down on one knee, Hold her fingers and give them a kiss? Or do I just gaze into her eyes steadily, And let nature convey my message? How do I say I love a girl? Do I just kiss her lips, To express…

Poetry – The Spirit Of Spring
Gathering dew slides off a soft petal and drops below. The drop slips downwards through a series of vines like a perfect path, slowly kissing its way down the stems. The first strands of buttery sunlight peek through the clouds, warming the creatures below it. Paws and claws of every variety stretch and shake off…

Poetry – Underneath The Rainbow
Underneath the rainbow Somewhere in the mountains, fair Mist still lingers in the air After days and days of endless rain The golden hills turn shamrock green In the ground lay sleeping seeds For flower-covered hills just shy of spring Underneath the rainbow You’ll find a little lake… or perhaps, a large pond Holding on…

Poetry – Going Out
I’m waiting for the night to come, So, I can go out to a brand-new club, And look forward to enjoying all the silly stories that come out in the morning, They make everyone reminisce and enjoy the night. Later, we all go out together to get drunk, While the boring ones stay home all…

The Untrusting
At night, one young man crept outside, To take a sneaky peak. He watched a young woman, Sitting on the balcony, looking like a delicate antique. The woman with her perfect face, Gave him a cheeky stare, As he watched her with little grace, When she escaped down the stairs. So, the man left and…

Poetry – When The Power Goes Out
When the power goes out I travel through time Reading on the couch by candlelight The flame flickers about each candle jar The glow of the light Dances upon my open page With a blanket for warmth With a book in my hands I couldn’t ask for a more simple time Light the stove with…

Poetry – Poem To Self
You love hard and give your all all the while forgetting yourself You fully pour into others all the while, you’re placed on the shelf That light you carried, slowly fades to black all the while, no one else lacks Everyone is skipping through the fields of lilies all the while the dark cloud floats…

Poetry – The Christmas Spirit Is Worth More Than A Biscuit
A roach curled up in the corner Fire ablaze and cinders flying A rat in a woolly hat crocheted by Nana All huddled up and keeping themselves comfortable In the well-lit house of Nancy, the interior designer Notorious not for her taste but for her dislike of germs Who used too much bleach both on…
