Writing a poem a day

Is quite a good way

To prompt the mind

To prevent a rewind

Burke: week one

Dual Meanderings

Sunlight kisses

Secret missives

Warming light

Seekers delight

II

Rainbows end

Mystical bend

Glittering gold

Dreamers behold

III

Moon’s embrace

Nightfall race

Silhouette fingers

Light lingers

IV

Storms turmoil

Emotions boil

Lightning flash

Spiritual clash

V

Trees tall

Observe all

Shelter nests

Become bests

VI

Floods ploy

Seek, destroy

Wash clean

Nature seen

Teko

There is no more time left to borrow

For you won’t be with me tomorrow

I am sorry I didn’t love her better

But never sorry to have met her

The pain of losing a beloved friend is relentless. Seeing her alive and having to decide on what was best for her a privilege and a burden. My heart and mind are heavy. I will look learn to be better. RIP Teko (03.01.2019)

Evolve and not repeat

You came into my life

At a time when hope

Hurt more than healed

Your relentless spirit

Filled holes within mine

Each day you teach me

The fear is present, for you

But it is not more than

The recognition of your gift

To lead me back to life and

To live a life on your terms

To evolve and not repeat

Love

I

Can you outgrow the one you love?

No longer be hand and glove

Can the new, the “is”, outweigh?

The “was” that makes you stay

II

Memories warm but equally bind

What’s beneath can be defined

Gratitude and habit seek to rule

Obligation their perfect tool

III

Can love grow, the rose in weeds?

Can the regrowth meet our needs?

Are we destined to be together?

Or is this a fairytale, reality is never

Hope's rope

Hope’s rope

1

If it is always darkest before the dawn

Why do I simply feel like life’s pawn?

Stuck on relentless, soul reaching dark

With no place for hope to disembark

II

I want to be on the road to nowhere

Rather than this highway of despair

Where simple decisions leave a scar

But is it luck, no room left to mar?

III

I miss automatically accepting hope

Where in every hole, there was rope

I could use my…

Me or rather how I think

I

In the quiet moments I am scared

Of created reality of all I feared

Being attached leads to more loss

I need to cling like the rock with moss

II

Too many losses burnt my trust

Commitment leaves a scarred crust

This permeates my every breath

Grief processing absence left me bereft

III

I am scared for what is clawed back

Losing any single inch of them & that

This fear threatens all I seek to…

I

You squawked into my life

Abandoned in the concrete

Death stalked each moment

But you rose above the strife

II

You live life in every second

It might seem you needed me

But I learn constantly from you

You totally ignored death’s beckon

III

Your fathhomless faith for saviour

Contrasts my then reality

Of harsh and cold disconnect

You just asked, in your behaviour

VI

You trust me to be there for…

2018

I

I want to apologise to you, 2018

It seems much of you was waiting

To see your end and end my hurt

To shed time in a wasteful spurt

II

I should have breathed and paused

To know it wasn’t you that caused

The moments of sheer tragedy

But simply life passing naturally

III

Thank you for a year complete

For those I chanced to meet

Who helped me on my journey

Who invested in me, personally

I

You were the hawker on the street corner

But not seeking financial gain or support

What you needed was humanity in action

“Saving you”, you saved me and then taught

II

Your every as action, a miracle of each moment

You hoped: not shock, fear or seat incident

You continue to survive, thrive be fully alive

My being here, now, for you, was just meant

Your song is more than background noise

Thank you

Living as if already dead

I reached out to you instead

My brother, on hearing my despair

Responds instantly: I’ll be there!!

That is what I simply need

For someone, in me, to believe

You remind me of my worth

Brother, more than simply shared birth

You mean more than words to me

Thank you, deeply, for being thee

Pieces of peace

I thought I needed to fix my soul

To find scattered pieces, make whole

But what I really needed was peace

Thoughts, stress, self demands to cease

I forgot nature is a beautiful gift

Time in it should not be swift

Drink it in, like life giving water

Never forget this, natures daughter

My Truth

I

Sitting at Hamilton Domains lake

Realising my life is not a mistake

The shimmering beauty of the water

Learning what my past has taught her

II

Serenity is a choice, not simply earned

Teachings of failure, waste not, spurned

Adapt, adopt and grow

Natures gift to bestow

III

Watch as the swimming duck glides

Effortless surface, beneath turmoil hides

Duck beneath that surface ploy

Because what is…

Wander if you dare

I wander down the Avenues of my memory and past

The darker streets are scary, I try to avoid them

Staying to the lit streets, where it is safer & brighter

They display their reality for all to see, so proudly

But then those other dark and dismal alleys

They lurk and ruin my streetscape, haunting me

I don’t map them out, no one should wander there

I detour as much as I can, throw the bright to…

Tired

I am tired

Exhaustion crawls through my every vein

I am weary

My eyes droop seeking the closure of sleep

I am drowsy

The syrup of desiring a lengthy, peaceful nap

I am finally reclinimg in the embrace of my bed

And now I am wide awake!

Disjointed realiry

I

I reach out, through time’s mist

But No One reaches back

I remain untouched

Completely dismissed

II

The bitterness of cold

Fringes my every move

I leave icles of breath

The only reality link I hold

III

I am? Or am I? What? Tell me!

Do I plead, desire or bleed?

How do I get my truth not yours?

Please let me be, let me be free

IV

Can I walk … no run away?

Not to you … not from me

Just not here ……
