THE END OF THE ROAD, DAY 30, POEM 30

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 maths […]

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 sea […]

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 curious […]

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, […]

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 way […]

COMPLETED

Hungry To lock lips again, To draw you in, Touch your skin So recently kissed By the sun, To feel your hands Finding their was around me And shiver, once again, At that sensation, To have your breath Upon my neck, Along my chest, Between my thighs And everywhere else That you wish to travel […]
