In a world of familiar faces, all I see are strangers and every time I think I’m safe, I’m surrounded by these dangers.

Three Little Words | A Poem
I always found it hard
To utter those three little words,
Scared of their power
What they’d become.
I couldn’t allow them to escape,
Captive within my breath
Until your permission
Gave them freedom.

Fading Star | A Poem
A fickle fragment of failing fortune,
dust and bones wrapped in rags,
old school star of stage and screen.
Lights went out,
the curtain fell
for the last time.
Silent Strength | A Poem
Fear not, strength find, and dignity shall keep
Prepare for a test of the mind and heart.
Love strong, keep close, and your courage deep,
When everything tries to pull you apart.
Life Isn’t Fair | A Poem
In a flicker of a moment, all we knew had gone away
The dust left there before us in the harsh cold light of day
No reasoning, nor common sense, no way of understanding why
Accept, we must, which cards are dealt, as the hands of time tick by.
Heart of the Wishing Well | A Poem
Follow me, I have a secret to tell
It waits in the heart of the wishing well.
This garden hides faeries, but bogeymen too.
So I am going to share this one with you.
Take a look down, lean over some more
Stare into the darkness right down to the floor.
Listen carefully so this won’t be forgotten.
“Tell me what you find, when you fall to the bottom”.
Sometimes | A Poetic Tribute
After hearing about the extremely sad news of Robin Williams passing early this morning, it struck a chord with me personally. Depression has many levels and affects many many people in different ways. Some people cope…some…don’t. I was inspired to write a small piece of poetry in honour of an amazing man who brought so much, to so many.
Sometimes it’s a desperation, sometimes it’s a head full of lead.
Sometimes it’s a endless nightmare, sometimes you’d rather be dead.
Sometimes it’s a saddened heart, sometimes it’s a distorted mind.
Sometimes it’s a fear within you, sometimes it’s a daily grind.
Sometimes you just can’t explain it, sometimes it’s always there.
Sometimes you let it beat you, sometimes it isn’t fair.
But sometimes the days are lighter, sometimes the fog does clear
And sometimes the love of others reminds us why we’re still here.
Belong | Original Lyrics #1
Tonight is moving so fast and I just want to be with you.
But I’m stood still, waiting for the clouds to break through.
The night will fade around us, a chance for us to see.
That time aint running out on you and me.
No, we got each other, and the days will last.
They will keep on coming, they’ll become our past.
Yes, we have a future, when tomorrow comes.
Without you I’m lost.
But with you I belong.
Yes I belong.
Yes I belong.
