And so here’s to one For the end of the road, Words have been written, Sentences steadily found sense, Poems put together, pushed and pulled On pages being published, hauled And heralded, heard in hushed homes Where hope is heartily housed and harboured, Here’s to the unbelievers The cynical thinkers of thought, Leaning to mathsContinue reading “THE END OF THE ROAD, DAY 30, POEM 30”

ELEMENTS
There is a sea On front of me, Its waters awash With possibilities, Waves of wisdom, Its tides tickle my toes Tempting me into its depths, There is a sky Above me, Rolling with clouds Of cotton candy, Pillows of potential, Folding and flexing And forming my future fate, There is water in the seaContinue reading “ELEMENTS”
WAITING
I am within, Amid the crowd, Their breath, baring down On my neck, stinking, Their heat, transferring Temperature to mine, terrifying, Their scent, steaming its trail Through my nostrils, twitching, I am within, Seated and centred, Capturing canvas’ of colour, Considering connections Carried on beside me, Caring couples cavorting, Concerned comrades cajoling And a curiousContinue reading “WAITING”

ALL THE LOVERS
A thought for all the lovers All those perfect precious pairs, The ones with hearts all hopeful The we’s, the us’s and their’s, A thought for all those holding hands Keeping couples connected, Who sneak a kiss along aisle 5 Who tempt and tease, thrust and thrive, A thought for all the cuddles, The spooning,Continue reading “ALL THE LOVERS”
THE STORM
I stood, firm footed against fate, beside the storm, A raucous rage of twisting winds and hollow howls As waves, frothing with fierce foam, forced their way Upon the land, as if claiming some right to survive. I saw, amid the sweeping sound of the stormy sea As it clawed, climbed and crashed its wayContinue reading “THE STORM”
