Letter
I’ve been racing and chasing against the clock And in my hand A letter to reach you Some how I got lost I’ve been running through the station Crossing over the wires Holding on to messages It took me days and hours A letter in hand Riding through rain on horse Then walking through tracks … Continue reading Letter
Memo
You got the memo About the plans to change But really I don’t want too much input I liked you that way It seems such a shame we get lost in translation Theres not really much to keep us close and Things keep going in that direction Your bad attitude rubs off on me frequent … Continue reading Memo
missed (human contact)
I missed your warmth around me the skin on skin contact that connection that makes you feel complete I missed it when our eyes would meet I missed your careless observations of the world when you said you didn't want any other girl your lingering feeling like your soul within me I miss us being … Continue reading missed (human contact)
baby
(adult content/visual upsetting language ) Baby's breath still warm from battle screeches and tugging of uncut cord from mothers wounds cold touch would be unjoyous bleeding gushes, scars mark places where a human was once homed. baby's breath gasping and face mottled skin colour pink oxygen new food, a new survival skill to learn as fresh … Continue reading baby
father
New father winces and paces up hospital ward floors with swinging doors and clamped down windows he is hesitant after no sleep and craves comforting, he wants attention even if physically nothing has been happening to him, he is exhausted, the true reality of becoming a dad is overwhelming, that walking away seems like the … Continue reading father
Toes
I always get tanned toes Because I put suncream on up to my elbows And who knows If you’ll stay or if you’ll go? I see that’s just how things tend to be Tomorrow I don’t know who I will be Seasons change like my personality Really, I shouldn’t care what you think of me … Continue reading Toes

1 night
1 night turned into 3 week stay. This was no holiday vacation Whole summer trapped inside Womens screams oxygen tanks knocking and equipment bashing How people work here is beyond me it’s a strength no one mentions. Midwives don’t show much emotion on their face Recycling bin blue uniform of midwifery wear flashes in corners … Continue reading 1 night
Mother
Mother handed plastic crutches to get out of the hospital For it is her turn to be free even if her lack of ability to walk is questionable New baby is fine and healthy so she must be let go Her bed made readily available With crisp hard cotton sheets reapplied Maternity ward must free … Continue reading Mother
Cigarette tossed ash tray.
Your the cigarette tossed in the mountain of ash, The kisses I felt but you didn’t ask. A piece of my memory now part of my past, The scrunched up wrapper from a walk on the sand. A hand on the gear stick and a better plan, Someone somewhere knows who I am, someone somewhere … Continue reading Cigarette tossed ash tray.
Drive by.
Do you drive by these parts? Following fragments of my shattered heart? Do you ever walk by ? Does my profile ever catch your eye? Are you even still alive! Or just lust the torment inside my mind. Is everything all fictional ? Are emotions all subliminal ? Could it be tomorrow or today? Do … Continue reading Drive by.
