I was but a boy when we met Broken Fractured Imprisoned in a life I never wanted Afraid of growing up And taking on the world Shying away from every challenge And then there was you Strong and determined You captured my heart Enraptured my soul And helped me in so many ways Gave […]
Love, Life & Loss
The One
Never have I met anyone so inspiring As you No truer soul than the one residing In you All I need to keep my heart from tiring Is you When I find it hard to keep on smiling I think of you When all the other stars have stopped shining I look to you […]
Holding On For You
I am neither here nor gone But floating somewhere Between the two Listless Aimless On the fringes of emptiness Barely holding on If it were not for you I would let go long ago Drifted away Yet I stay For as long as I have something Someone To hold onto So please don’t ever let […]
Chastised
Again I find myself chastised Ridiculed and criticised For caring more for someone else Than I do myself For putting someone else first Instead, I am told I must Look out for myself Ensure I’m secured for the future But I don’t want a future If it means depriving another Of their now Is that […]

Indecision and uncertainty overwhelms me I forever wonder As thoughts of quitting wander Unchecked around my mind Sometimes they whisper Sometimes they shout and they scream And there are moments when they say nothing at all But these moments of silence Are too few and far between Not granting enough of a respite From the near […]
An Impossible Apology
I asked them, “For what sins must I atone?” In unison they shook their heads As though I should have known. “I don’t know what I did,” I say “Nor the words That pushed you all away. And if you do not tell me, I cannot apologise; Fix the cracks between us, Find a […]
Forest Of Dreams
Let us walk through the forest Where our dreams grow Beneath imposing trees Of hope and promise Upon a bed of blossom Soft and white as snow Petals brush our fingertips As we pass through Let’s stay a while in the meadow Where the sun always shines And we need never fear What lurks […]
