The Final Curtain Call

Published today : The Final Curtain Call

In the meantime, I stood in his shadow, his understudy,
There to be his back up, his supporting lady, in times of need,
Your spare human — always ready at your beck and call,
Honoured to share in the heart bond of you both.

I Still Remember

Published today : I Still Remember

I still remember that I was doing my best, trying my damndest,
I relive every mistake, every regret, everything I did not know,
My greatest fears faced, my heart in the right place,
The highest of highs, the lowest of lows,
I gave it my all while treading water in the dark,
And when necessary I was the first to eat crow.

River Of Dreams

Published today : River Of Dreams

Too much of a good thing turned the landscape barren,
The causation of take, take, take, but never giving back,
Depletion an exhaustion of resources so extensive the world’s back was broken,
A heartbroken cripple unaware of its greatest misdeed.

Lesson Learned Or Be Burned

Published today : Lesson Learned Or Be Burned

Intentions became clear — much to her horror,
A difference in priorities defended in arrogance,
And where once she’d explain the red flags away,
This time she began with eyes wide open,
As the cracks began to show.

She’s That Magic Mirror On The Wall

Published today : She’s That Magic Mirror On The Wall

But she’ll match you energy for energy,
She’ll be the demon that rides your torment,
She’ll be the thunder that booms after your lightning flashes across the sky,
She’ll be the earthquake that ravishes after your rage burns.

We’re Facing Extinction

Published today : We’re Facing Extinction

Where once she was worshipped for her nurturing ways,
Submissive to genuine leadership, protected and provided for,
Now, she’s the one to chase, show-up, soldier on in silence,
Exhausted to the point of no return.

A Melancholy Death


Published today :
A Melancholy Death

A finger traces wishes in words on frosted glass panes,
Icy tips burn through the thaw,
Unbidden they turn towards the toasty flames roaring in the fireplace,
As wood smoke delights the constant dripping nose.

Highway Home

Published today : Highway Home

She now lives for the next sunrise, the crooning over the horizon,
The last rays of the day as the sun sets, welcoming the night,
The deafening call of the wild,
And the darkness of the sky, welcoming the stars with their pinpointed light.

The World Is Too Loud

Published today : The World Is Too Loud

A broken shell of functionality,
A mistress of disguise, tired of the face lifted to the world on show,
Forever wandering, unbidden to overstay her welcome,
To forfeit the weakness she doesn’t want the world to know.
