Poem – I Will Remember

Entangled in a web of grief, Spiralling out of control. Swig a bottle of cyanide, should I? To let the pain mellow?   I couldn’t bear to bring myself, To meet such ill a fate. Instead I took a sip once more, Of lemon and ginger ale.   I sip and reminisce,  Of how lifeContinue reading “Poem – I Will Remember”

City life

Like mice, Trapped in the rat race. A maze made for manipulation. Man against man, race against race.    A breath. Of fresh air at dawn. As futile as asking the sun to, Rise at dusk and set in the morn.   Private, A word less chosen. Only by those of land un-citied. Cities keepContinue reading “City life”

Poetry: Success

The sweet scent of success, If only it lingered just that little bit longer. If only it tasted just that little bit stronger.   Is success a waiting game, Or a game of chase? Should I give it my all, Or should I accept my fate?   Success. The word on the tips of allContinue reading “Poetry: Success”

Poem – A Little Thing Called ‘Fear’

Fear, The lovechild of stress and caution. An unwelcome neighbour, Making itself at home in your delusion. It’s intentions  – unclear.   It picks it’s moments, Most uncalled for. Like lying in your bed and hearing the front door become ajar. Or hearing your name whispered very softly from afar.   Fear, It’s a teasefulContinue reading “Poem – A Little Thing Called ‘Fear’”

Poem: Ocean

The ocean hugs the shoreline like a mother does her child. Waves crash against the coastline as the stars above collide. A million lightyears away, do planets exist like mine? Why does it matter anyway? For it’s Earth where I reside.    The sunlit sands so soft to touch, as Mr Sunshine beams his smile,Continue reading “Poem: Ocean”

B*tch Stole My Work

“It’s fine though, I changed the font so it’s mine now”.    What would be worse, pitching article ideas  to a magazine company only to have them reject you and for you later to find out that they’ve posted pieces online which obviously spawned from your very original idea?  Or having the magazine agree toContinue reading “B*tch Stole My Work”

Poem: Collapsing

Collapsing, My last breath feels inevitable.  Food, a phrase once so fruitious, Now feels so forgettable. Picking the apple from Eden, An action so regrettable.    I claw and I clamber, You believe that I committed perjury  One measly morsel of food is all that I ask for. Yet you deny me this luxury, IContinue reading “Poem: Collapsing”

Poem: Time

  Time. Moving passed like  Dew dripping from the leaves of The waxiest cuticles. My hands, Gnarled, close tight, Around the memories, Uprooted by those of time.   Time, A spectre of the night, Time, invisible to the eye Of even the most profound inspectors.  I suspect. Expecting time to wait for, Any man. IsContinue reading “Poem: Time”

Poem: Planet Earth

What is this planet we call home?   Crying tears of salt water, Which hugs the coastlines days later. Spouting rivers of lava, Meandering from vast volcanic craters. Motions of oceans, You see land, you feel safer. Deserted deserts. Here thirst does not waver. Hosting the coldest of climates Where chances of death become greater.Continue reading “Poem: Planet Earth”

Poems: My Self-Written Seasonals

What better way to welcome in the season of Summer than to give a recap of the ones that come before and after it through poetry: The Fall of Autumn Death never looked so beautiful, Leaf litter burnt orange in the fading Autumn sun, Crunches beneath my feet as the day carries on.   TheContinue reading “Poems: My Self-Written Seasonals”

Poem: Time

We think about the future, So that we can enjoy its ‘present’. But like a dollar bill drifting in the wind. We never do quite catch it.   We worry that it’s not on our side. Like it’s going by too quickly. Asking ‘where does it fly’?   Time – isn’t it a peculiar concept?Continue reading “Poem: Time”
