I look at others
Wanting what they have
Desiring all the world
Without seeing
The world inside
Of me

Thirst
My throat is so parched
I thirst for water
A drop to ease my aching tongue
I taste sweet wine
It is so good
I drink my fill
And then some more
I fall down
I fall asleep
I wake up
My head is so sore
And my thirst is
Worse than before
Passion
My passion is a candle
Waiting for its match
A flame to be lit –
To burn bright
Passing Pleasure
I sold myself
For moments of temporal joy
Pleasure was my gain
Only then
To languish in my pain
Amidst the Storm
Amidst the storm
And raging skies
The tempered clouds
Shine bright below
I hear my Saviour’s
Quiet voice –
“Be still and know
That I am God “
Expanding Skies
Dead bees and green trees
Burning heat and blue seas
Joys and sorrows intertwined
Death and life – expanding skies
A Small Miracle
A rainbow promise
Stretching across gloomy skies –
Fleeting miracle
Demons Rising
Panic is rising
Rising up and
Light is growing
Growing dimmer
While darkness
Is darkening
I steel myself
Trying to keep
Safe from
Demons inside
Rising up to
Throttle
My heart
Not knowing
Where to go
Or where to turn
I hold myself
A Thought from Rumi
“Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!”
Reflections
I have no point to prove
Wish there was more to say
Or even more to share
But I have no words
To say to you
The hurt runs deep and wide
Like blood flowing through my veins
It never goes away
I’ve learnt the lesson
Will live to tell
