Villanelle – Hold Your Tongue
Have I gone blind; or just lost sightof an unplanned destination?Having held my tongue I feel contrite. I am the darkest part of night;I have fed on hesitation.Have I gone blind or just lost sight?

We live in a world where every life is one of constant choices and decisions yet are the same questions and decisions always answered the same way by all? When is something right? When is something wrong? Can that which is... Continue Reading →
Sonnet – Like Atlas
Upon my shoulders the world has been placed;my burden, against my will and protest.I, a bird, return to an empty nest;my potential plundered, and then displaced.

The Bop – Where I Should Be
Sometimes I writewithout intention;waiting to seewhat happensnaturally, or not,I go with the flow, I arrive where I should be. Without preparationI am left unsteadyand though I tryI am never sure, where I should be.It fills my head with angstwhen I think about you, instead of meyet every choice along the journey,is one I would make...

February Musings – Tired
There is so much that I want to do. But I am tired. Tired. Tired doesn’t feel like strong enough a word. I am exhausted, deflated, broken down and burnt-out. I am an empty tank, a cracked glass which leaks water faster than it can be filled. I am a shaking breath, being drawn into... Continue Reading →
