A couple lay in bed together It’s midnight Too hot to sleep The windows are open to the sound of birds, bat’s and city sounds from around A small little dog seeks his sleep underneath Astral projections on the ceiling above me, Visions of Johanna on the speaker Her music is up next, That’s usually […]

#165 – Happy belated fathers day
Alan is who I was assigned So called son to this man I’m meant to call dad So what can I say about this walking contradiction He loves me and adores me, he’d do anything for me. Only in his cheap words was this true to the guy Love was what I wanted, maybe tenderness […]

#118 – Try
Try something new Try to be a better person Try moonwalking in the kitchen at midnight Try juggling on top of a pool table Try writing on the walls Try staying awake for 3 days Try to hit the moon with a rock Try jumping over a river Try to accept yourself Try to make […]
More than a dog More than a pet Charlie is a best friend The way he wakes up and runs at the world in front of him is beautiful, So it the way he wakes up and puts his little head back down before he goes about his day. His whole world is love, food […]
There is no happy ending No saviour to come and rescue us There is no age where it all becomes clear, When the cobwebs are lifted from our eyes and we’re filled with empathy and wisdom There is only now No perfect partner No perfect day No perfect anything There’s only now No someday I’ll […]
