“If only the world had shown me a little more mercy.” She stands in the burning rubble, her dark hair whipping around her face in the wind. “Maybe it wouldn’t have come to this”, she gestures to the destruction around her. “ All I wanted was someone to show me a speck of kindness, some food or maybe a bed”. “It really wouldn’t have been that hard, that inconvenient. They were all too absorbed in t...

Addie is the quirkiest person I have ever met. She is a person of habit, whenever something happens different then usual it puts her on edge. She is a very jumpy, though she has an amazing life. She loves exercise but can be very stubborn. Once she gets tired she just stops. Nothing anyone can say will make her continue. She loves to sleep and eat. She is blessed with being able to eat a lot and j...

Planned with care

Stitched with love

Hands though gnarled, caressed fabric so fair

Cloth from baby clothes

Cloth from dresses

Cloth from shirts

And cloth from other blankets

Hand sewn into one

Memories made physical

Warmest blanket you’ll ever feel

Though it may be a bit thinner than some

The warmth of the makers intentions

Is trapped in the seams of the quilt

Homemade so thoughtfully

Wrapped a...

Delilah throws herself on her bed. She has just found out that her lover has left her. They had had plans to meet up in the garden by the roses under the cover of the darkness tonight. It was Delilah’s favourite place to meet her love, the sweet smell of roses dancing around her nostrils, the light of the twinkling stars smiling down on her and her knight. She knew it had been his favourite too as...

Like two vines

Forever intertwined

Rose up together

Known each other forever

Moms knew moms

Dads knew dads

Play dates to school friends

School friends to loves

Next come kids

Mom knows mom

Dad knows dad

They will be interlocked

Forever

Just like their parents

I don’t know what the rhyme thing is here it got really messed up...

The room was deadly silent.

He came in quietly and said

“I love you but I must go”

She will never again appreciate quiet.

I feel red hot. Like at any moment I could explode. My hands shake and I start to hyperventilate. I need to calm down but my usual deep breathing is failing me. I feel so strongly words start to fail me. This is bad because if my words leave I will lose this argument. No, no it’s more than an argument, it’s a fight. My words are my best, and only, weapon. Without them I am too vulnerable.I feel my...

The rain poured down

Muffling the sounds

The windows are cracked

This place is long forgotten

And yet

The Song still plays

It sings of days long ago

Days of joy and wonder

There is no record player

Nothing to make sound

And yet this forgotten song plays on

If you know how to listen...

She is hurting

Though she hides it well

She feels hollow

Empty, void of feelings

She has an audience

People watching

Expecting perfection

Waiting for failure

Her spirit is crumpled

Stomped on one to many times

She puts on a brave face

She won’t let the spectators see

She is watching herself from the outside

She sees herself smile

She feels herself sinking

She is spinning

There is no way out ...
