Illusions

Capture my dream

Vivid vibrant emotions of night

Where desires catch alight

Angers flare and tears fall and everyone

Even souls long gone are alive

Capture my dream

Before dawning reality

Descends and the illusion

Ends

Tapestried

Jagged edges slice our skin

While shining in the glistening sun

Our trust will be in vain dear friend

All hope will be undone

These jagged edges of our lives

Tattoo our hearts with scars

Slow years will pass until we see

Our scars are tapestried.

Clearly

Clearly I was not meant for you

Clearly you were not meant for me

Clearly we were not meant to be

But oh my love I loved you so

You stole my heart

I loved you so.

Alone

She’s not gone it cannot be

Oh my mother don’t leave me

You birthed me loved me helped me grow

We argued fought but even so

You’re my mom you cannot go

From this realm, please say you won’t!

But now you’ve left I’m all alone

All alone I need my mom

I need my mom to care for me

I need my mom to help me be

She is gone I’m so alone.

Gone

She’s gone

Two words to break my world to crack the floor to rip the heart right out my chest.

She’s gone

Final. Absolute. It’s done.

I fall collapse into a heap I fall I roll into a ball.

She’s gone

No! It cannot be. And yet it is. I’m black I see black I hear black I’m lost within the void.

It’s so black my world is dead I cannot see. Nothing to hold. The emptiness devours me whole.

She’s gone.

Nineteen Years

I’m so grateful for your love

I’m so grateful for your hand

I’m so glad you came along

Just when all my hope had gone

I’m so grateful for our life

And to ever be your wife

Nineteen years we have been blessed

Nineteen years, sweet companionship

Tethered

Covered in dust

I have no say

Muddy anchors weigh me down

As I’m tethered

Tethered

Tightened

To the ground –

A black mood sours my frown

Endings

Things are ending, I can’t explain

Once bright sparks scattered in the dark

Lost the fun and without the feels

This new year is dead to some

One day one step at a time

Voids will fill

They will

Somehow

Crossing Bridges

My ‘Home’ bridge- Sydney Harbour Bridge
Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge
Japanese Bridge over Takayama
Osaka Bridge facing the ‘Running Man’
Quaint Japanese Bridge – Mount Hakone

In response to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Liberty!

Where to from here?

I do not know, I cannot say

Allow the path to open up

Allow each day to make its way

When you arrive, you then will know

When you arrive, there next will be

Another path unknown to go

So take a breath and do not fear

Take a breath for this new year

Take a breath and you will see

Hope for all and liberty!

Yay for 2021
