Silence overwhelms me, I am drowning in oceans of no noise, Immersed in a speechless sea, Abandoned by conversation's joys And left without a thing to say. My lips move without sound As I search for a means to convey My heart, a way to confound The quiet that denies me release: I need a way to break... Sign in to see full entry.

Sanctuary
I am a safe place, A sanctuary if things get too much, An escape from all your daily cares And a bolt hole for when things get tough. Always needed, never used I remain the backup plan Which gives you the strength to cope. When things are hard, if you should choose To shelter with me you know that... Sign in to see full entry.

My Fileofax
I am dominated by my filofax; It's schedules and to-do lists Are my cat o' nine As I rush from one task to the next. A rest is ruined because guilt attacks Reminding me of appointments missed And damning me for wasted time. As I stare at this demanding text Pondering it's control of me, It's...

Perspective
Time saunters on; Minutes become days Hours, weeks and days an entire year Of this uninspired crawl. Enthusiasm gone, This morning is a daze Of unfocused emptiness, it's unclear Why I am here at all Until memories of you and me Paint colours on the formless grey, I recall that we see what we choose...

New Born
New born, I step out of the detritus of who I was Leaving behind the false beliefs that I have shed Like an old skin. I am brighter now, new made And untarnished by the hundred little fears That pollute the heart and mind. I can see The lights, the loves, the hopes and I know That to lose the chains...

Sunrise
My sleep, disturbed By the mutterings of foolish fear, Lies tattered in the fading gloom As I, restless, watch the new sun rise. Tranquil, unperturbed By the anguishes that brought me here, Dawn softly gilds my dingy room And as the shadow of the last fear dies, In the sunrise, I recall your eyes. Sign in to see full entry.

Be Mine: An Exercise In Obscurity (revised)
I am the chaotic wanderer, The happy philanderer, The most dapper rogue For I am always in vogue In my ensemble of yellow and black But beware, if I should attack One of us will surely die; Who am I? I am a chasm in the tender Earth Robbed of anything of worth Ores and gems, metals and coal I am a... Sign in to see full entry.

Half A Rainbow
I am one half of a rainbow, A font of light and delight, Of hope and love In every imaginable hue. Skywards, you'll see my stain grow Beautiful, bold and bright, A declaration far above Everything you ever knew: I am one half of a rainbow and the other half is you. Sign in to see full entry.

Morning
The soft song of my heart is a symphony at sunrise, The warm thunder of its drumming declaims desire to the dawn, The thick chocolate of sleep melts as I unwrap the day's eyes And forsake the soft embrace of slumber for the passion of the morn. The sweet breath of morning bares the caress of the new... Sign in to see full entry.
