hiding

the sun is in town again with its searing coils of temptation and blinding promises of redemption but i hide from it swallowing dark oceans and wishing i wasn’t too squemish to make cuts into my darkness for the bile of sorrow to flow out more freely the capricious light still knocks persistently but i’veContinue reading “hiding”

“Caged in Comfort”

“Caged in Comfort” if i could speak my truthi’d whisper how i was kept —like a songbird in a velvet cage,fed with sweet wordsand silenced with soft hands. they called it love,but it clipped my wings,taught me to perch,not to fly. i forgot the wind,forgot my voice,forgot what it felt liketo want anything morethan safetyContinue reading ““Caged in Comfort””

Despair

The feeling of despair Like swallowing darkness that lingers and pools deep within your body The kind of pitch black you only find in the far corner of the room, Wondering what might be staring back With a weight so heavy you can’t bear it But impossible to release. That voice echoing that you areContinue reading “Despair”

Poem: Footprints at Sunset

At the meeting point of sky and sea, the sun bids farewell with a blaze of vibrant colours; a poignant reminder of life’s inevitable end.

Ghost Ships

I’ve seen three blue ships when there were none Sailing, drifting beneath no sun Their sails wafting, bold, unshunned Amidst the fog, yet not undone  An air of silence engulfs and stuns And looms discreetly beneath their guns They should be daunting, but I don’t run  I blink and suddenly, remains not one  I’ve seenContinue reading “Ghost Ships”
