You were a drug That I had to quit A link to a life That couldn't exist. A lifeline that ceased to function fine A sickening habit, mentally making me laugh and cry, As I exorcise myself of our shared hopes, My rotten box of dreams Still exists True strength and paths can only be [...]

Type. Type, type type, type, type, type, down here I sit, down here I write. I wonder if I'll get to talk to you tonight? I'm getting better, I'm fighting fitter, as I sit to re-paint our shared grey-green picture. The blue-sky still eludes me, For I can't get out of my duvet, acceptance has [...]
Intertwined Pasts
You were without what I felt within. Strangled with two voices, Never quite belonging A host for many masks Perplexed with perceptions I could never surpass That you could never rehearse Our demise an event for the Many's pasts, For the Few's never-ending tales of morales.
Implosion of Love
My love for you rages with the strength of a thousand burning suns. But all suns are acutely aware of their own mortality, life span + The destruction that will ensue in it's wake. Once the universal light switch is flicked off. I always see you in profile many half-faces so many expressions, emotions + [...]

Days Drag On… What do I find on my phone?
Crazy long day - feel dead and drained and I'm in no way prepared for the mess that will be tomorrow. MA class (not done my reading!) then shifts in another store, as part of my new job! The need to keep balancing between love of learning and money to keep learning, is a hard [...]
Power in speaking
You speak, I speak and then we hear. As we wonder separately, Feigning we are freer. The line crackles, my arm stiffens, as I walk down these streets. Locate me in the here, I am stood where we were once to be so near. Sirens bleed by me, Reminding me that you are sat in [...]
The Slumbering Lover
My love sleeps eternally In another plane it lives, it breathes. How I hope he dreams of he and me. Conscious/Unconscious Free/Unfree Thoughts unthunk.. Forevers unfurled.. Gladness besets me To death we take our leave separately in vow of annual grief Approached in high manners As we took each eve. Friends together forever separately Now [...]
Couplet
If One lovest words, One must speak them at every turn. Re-found this while diving through my diary. Trying to build my discipline and post something, no matter how minuscule, every night.
Poem early morning’s prayer, pleas, wants and needs.
This came to me as I lay my head to sleep, around 3am, I've tried to keep it as close in structure as when I wrote it. I miss the sanity and free space we had, The easy negotiations. Sharing ourselves so easily it went unseen, And now we walk in phantom mists like unknowing, [...]
