Revised You

I posted the poem you yesterday I have reviewed it and changed and hopefully improved it what do you think?  You. There is no mistaking you, Standing poised by the jeep,  Surrounded by  fractured light, like a being from another  dimension, Your head thrown back, emitting sounds that I cannot hear,  I am imagining, the… Continue reading Revised You

You

There is no mistaking you, Standing poised by the jeep, surrounded by the fractured light as the sun bounces off metal and glass, Your head thrown back, emitting sounds, that I cannot hear, Although I am imagining, the infectious booming laughter, rolling from your lips.  Images blown like paper, Stirring, in the draft from an… Continue reading You

Vortex

Vortex dark and swirling, Momentarily still, Grey shades of darkness, lozenge  shaped,ready to kill, Fae currents from  a far off world, Coalesce in this spot, Danger dark despicable, Could this be our lot? Brightness, radiating beams  of light, our saviour or  our plight? Blue and golden  rainbows, holds the darkness  tight,  Just holding dangers balance… Continue reading Vortex

Words

Words,those insubstantial marks on the page Concepts from the mind, retrieved from life’s  stage Words those insignificant sounds, reaching our ears Communicating our  needs, joys, and fears What makes those words such a potent force? When each receiver, tunes in, differently!  Of course! Words. The pictures produced in the receiver’s  mind Influenced by  experiences, perceptions,… Continue reading Words
