  • Forever and Indifference

    Hi and welcome back. I read 2 poems for you this week

    and forever meant only a second,

    that was all it took, then


    When you pushed me away

    With your ignorance
    And indifference

  • Beauty

    Beauty surrounds us

    you see it in every grain of sand
    and every blade of grass
    you see it in the leaves that fall,
    the twinkling of the stars,
    the colours of sunrise and
    as day fades you see it at sunset

    you can hear it in birdsong

    with the dawn chorus waking the world
    you can even find it in the words
    of your favourite song and
    feel it in the whisper of breath
    across your skin from the one you love

    look in the mirror, strip away that

    mask you wear and see it
    in your own eyes
    it’s there in your children , your family
    you can even see it in the actions
    of others if you’re willing to look

    Beauty is in everyone

    we just need to see beneath the disguise
    that they show the world
    beauty isn’t always about the way things look
    or sound it’s there in our love , in our actions
    and the way we value others
    treating people with respect and kindness
    is beauty in it’s true form

  • Misunderstanding

    Your irritation somehow gave me satisfaction

    as I poked and prodded you
    your fury intensified at my glee
    happiness turned to disgust
    a bitter taste on my tongue

    our discomfort filled us with sorrow

    and passion gave no joy
    as the silence surrounded us
    we watched each other with wary eyes
    mistrust a sourness in the air

    Sorry came from nowhere

    lighting up that glint in your eyes
    a smile started then
    it tugged sharply at your lips
    as you caught my playfulness

    your laugh a melody in the air

    eyes lit up with delight
    your face glowing with happiness
    at last, misunderstanding flown
    clearing minds and freeing hearts
