Words of Love
Words of love often suppressed Kindness taken for granted, unexpressed Presumption of thoughts, norms and dreams Seems we no longer talk of schemes Drifting along feather light Lack of communication, … Continue reading Words of Love
A morsel of you
I reflect on what we might have been
had things been different
life’s unforseen,twists and turns
following fates convuluted hand
I had a glimpse or a dream
of a different future – built on sand
Would we have been greater in pairing
or a disaster that fate has been kind in sparing
our paths met, then diverged, adding richness
loneliness and sadness in the parting
leaving a layer of learning which must add growth
or is this but a hollow dream
What I am yet to become
will be due to singular striving
Happiness and fulfillment
in this life needs work and dedication
I reflect on what is now
what might have been I disallow
Another world, another life, we might be bliss
Until then I gather life and fulfill my destiny
unable to be blue living life to the full
only more so because I shared a morsel with you.

A megabyte of madness
A megabyte of madness – A Villanelle
You became a megabyte of madness
Since we met life’s never been the same
We frankly share happiness and sadness
No false catechism staunches blackness
We listen truly and do not shame
You became a megabyte of madness
We share our secrets with a cheerfulness
Plus a tut or maybe two, but never blame
We frankly share happiness and sadness
Friends across the ether, so priceless
Fate introduced us on a word game
You became a megabyte of madness
We highlight most of our flaws, with bluntness
But you cheer me when my world is aflame
We frankly share happiness and sadness
To say we are in love would be baseless
A different emotion we sustain
You became a megabyte of madness
We frankly share happiness and sadness
Padlocked Love.
Padlocked Love
So many padlocks
Locked with so much love
Each locked compartment
Bursting at the seams
Once upon a time
the symbol of fidelity
Lovers clipped them to a rail
Threw away the key
Thousands of padlocks
Sitting in a row
A sign of relationships
Waiting time to grow
Years pass by and the
world begins to tarnish
Locked to the rail
With no hint of varnish
Could we view those couples
Starting off brand new
Ten years on how many
Are still true
Are they welded close
Like the padlock on the rail
Or split assunder the lock
All atrail?

Escape
Escape
I shut out the dark cloud of words.
circling like birds above my head
reverberating penetrating
piercing like swords, injury by harsh
sounds cruel intent
Silence now my best defence
this no time to mount
a counterarguement
it will only cause offence
I need to save my sanity
in serenity
Face and body language neutral
I release calmness
focus on the harmless sound.
of the house those
small comforting noises
welcome in the dark of the
night or the eye of the storm
My spirit is not broken
I will survive anger without blows
I am wrapped in my tranquility
floating in a bubble roaming
free from fear
my submission is just remission
Until I can escape

Life has moved on updated
Here is the first version of this Pantoun I have since reworked it please see the second version any thoughts if either works?
I flutter and fly like a trapped butterfly
Commitment I promised it wasn’t a lie
While life has moved your love I still crave
It applies throughout life into the grave
Commitment, I promised it wasn’t a lie
I tried to stay true but you said goodbye
It applies throughout life into the grave
Once word is given it shouldn’t enslave
I stayed true but you said goodbye
Needs, change the picture I understand why
Once word is given, it should not enslave
We should try to honour it be strong and brave
Needs change the picture I understand why
You need to move on although I shall cry
Though we should try to honour it, be strong and brave
Throw out commitment, morality waive
You need to move on although I shall cry
I will find a way, to fly in the sky
Throw out commitment morality waive
I keep my values my sanity to save
I will find a way to fly in the sky
While life has moved your love I still crave
I keep my values my sanity to save
I flutter and fly like a trapped butterfly.
Written in the form Pantoum .
Version 2.
I flutter and fly like a trapped butterfly
The commitment you promised was a big lie
Now you have gone your love I still crave
It will probably stay till I go to my grave
The commitment, you promised was a big lie
I wanted to stay true but you said goodbye
It will probably stay till I go to my grave
Although a love once given, shouldn’t be betrayed
I wanted to stay true but you said goodbye
You changed the picture I don’t understand why
Although a love once given, shouldn’t be betrayed
We should try to honour it be strong and brave
You changed the picture I don’t understand why
You left with such bitterness it’s hard to justify
Though we should try to honour it, be strong and brave
There comes a time with sadness our feelings to waive
You left with such bitterness it’s hard to justify
I need to rebuild my life and just quantify
There comes a time with sadness our feelings to waive
The old life with you has nothing to save
I need to rebuild my life and just quantify
Now you have gone your love I still crave
But the old life with you has nothing to save
I flutter and fly like a freed butterfly

Relationships normal chain
The bubble has been burst
Will that be the worst
Life gets in the way
Almost every day
Changes put a strain
On relationships normal chain
He/she can make you sad
Also make you mad
Love is but a guide
You cannot run and hide
What is this nebulous thing
The emotion that pulls our string
Attraction, sex and lust
May well just go bust
The underlying theme
That makes our eternal dream
Is a perfect symbosis
With absolutely no neurosis
Its a rare and perfect beast
Easy to become deceased.
