The Well-Polished Smile

A glittered mask in green and gold.

She rides the workforce under consistent restraint,
Hours deepened, instilling the threat of submission,
Her back bent in toil, the world upon her shoulders,
Governed by the evil necessity of the mighty dollar,
Bent but never broken.

The Age Of Time

Published today : The Age Of Time

But the mind feels that it was only yesterday that we’d come of age,
The heart feels as strongly as it did when it first broke,
Every crack and bleed full of precious memories,
The gifts, the love, the pain, the words we spoke.

The Age Old Lines

Published today : The Age Old Lines

Yet, she fortifies them with the hope that swims through her dreams,
Those that vanish the ongoing nightmares,
Chasing her demons on tiring feet.

Take A Chance

Published today : Take A Chance

I feel at times I need to learn another language; bilingual,
The roads disappear with a view, highways, blacktops, single lane and dirt tracks,
My new definition of fear — passing a road train when the road is a single!

Shadows Passing In The Night

Published today : Shadows Passing In The Night

A pattern set, a date and time,
A short half hour in the scheme of things,
Two souls tethered in the wake of many,
As the world slowly turns unbidden.

The Depth Of A Broken Soul

Published today : The Depth Of A Broken Soul

She rides the waves and throbs, that rob her breath,
Feasts upon the thoughts that revolve; unwillingly,
Terrified you’ll realise the truth she so diligently hides,
Camouflaged within her toughest secrets.
