Til Death
Don’t let my fingers slip from the palm of your hand, You’re all I have left. Inspired by the story of Italvino and Diva, a Brazilian couple who died within 40 minutes of each other, after 65 years of marriage, in the same hospital room, their beds pushed together so they could hold…

No More Winter
There will be no more winter, We’ll live forever in the spring, There will be no more winter, And the birds will always sing, The icy swathes of death, Will never lay across this land, We’ll never see the fall of Summer’s beauty at its hand, The sun will live forever, There’ll be bleakness nevermore,…

Evanescence
The route along the cobbles is silent Save for the shushing of the water wheel The grass glistens green, pear, then emerald As the winds rush through its blades with such zeal The sky is adorned with falling blossom Its scent sweeps over me like a tide I should probably get home for supper But…

Dysmorphic
It’s a dark, dark road that you venture down when you can’t even look yourself in the eye, When the words ‘fat’ and ‘ugly’ explode like landmines in your mind every time you look in the mirror, When you’d rather rip your flesh and gouge out your eyes than have to look a second more…

This poem was inspired by the two quotes about…

The Gaia Room
It’s a beautiful day in the Gaia room, Cotton balls form celestial spumes, Down deep inside the goldfish pool, An algae eater’s keeping cool, Up above the sky flame’s high, Its warmth is carried on an airy sigh, Indulging in the daylight glow, A tiny house hauler takes it slow, Behind she leaves a silver…

Sunset
Can you hear the orange in the sunset? It whispers to the purple as they blend. Can you feel the magic while it’s working? Busy laying colours end on end. Can you see the song the sun is singing? Harmonised by palettes full and bright. Can you taste the beauty of the heavens? Its sacred…

Night at the Palace
That night at the palace I was your queen The fanfare of fireworks setting the scene A stillness – a peace – fell over the land And we glimpsed at the beauty that God has us planned We ascended the stairs to the top of our world And there we were held as darkness fell…

What I See
My darling, this is what I see: Forever you and always me A perfect dawn and hushing sea A spiralled rose from you to me A feeling of security A hazing sense of ecstasy The warmth of spirit sets us free As winds whisper sweetened melody A faded precious memory of nothing more than fantasy…
