Sailing
#NaPoWriMo Day Five Today’s prompt was to write a villanelle. It’s a poetic style that is completely new to me and involves repeating two lines in specific places in the poem. As you can see I am late with this one as I had to think on it for the entire day. I hope I…

Unravelled
#NaPoWrimo Day Three Today’s prompt was to write a poem that involves a story or action that unfolds over an appreciable length of time. I decided to take the prompt literally and write about an unfolding (unravelling) marriage. I love thinking about the fabric of time being a tangible thing, I have written several poems…

Ice and Fire
Your heart was ice, Your heart was fire, You froze and blazed until I grew tired, Until it snowed upon my funeral pyre, You dragged me down but I flew higher, A phoenix risen from the fire, Preserved in ice and seared with ire, At last I’ll be what I desire, I’ll freeze and blaze and never tire, My heart is ice, My heart is fire. Today…

Games
Let’s play a different type of game: I’ll pretend that you’re not home late, If you pretend that you’re ashamed, I’ll ignore your pathetic state, If you wipe all that lipstick off your shirt and make your tie look straight, I will ignore the telling wafts of the perfume that’s on your skin and the…

15 Years Later
If you asked me 15 years ago If I thought that time could heal that wound I would have looked at you – A rawness in my eyes, My light nearly all consumed – And I would have told you with intense certainty that it would never fade away A hurt that great is itself…

In Her Tears
Yesterday I wrote a poem called “Heartsickness“. During my search for a suitable photo, I found the one featured above. It caught my eye and even though it wasn’t quite right for yesterday’s piece I felt it deserved to be shown off. So I have written a poem which was inspired by, and is dedicated…

Dark Chocolate
You once told me you were a box of chocolates, Said I’d never know quite what I’d get, And you said you weren’t any old chocolates; You were Green & Blacks – simply the best! And just like that aforesaid chocolate, You were dark, smooth, rich and so sweet, You tasted like some heavenly nectar…

In Conversation
You said you didn’t love me, You said all hope was gone, You said you didn’t want me, I said that you were wrong. You said that it was complex, You said I wouldn’t understand, You said we’d grown apart, I said I didn’t give a damn. You said that I was stupid, You said…

Exposure of My Heart
Oh how I miss you, When I held you you taught me just who I was behind the shutters, You showed me my true colours, That I was like no other when I bled; I saw crimson, I saw claret, I saw carmine, and I saw scarlet, And now you’re gone, My love, Most all…

Letting Go
As we lay body to body in ecstasy I knew it was the last time you’d be next to me, The last time I’d hold your chest to me, Feel your breath on me, For your body cried out: “Remember Me” And mine called back, regrettably: “To the end of me… Til the death of…

Spoils of War
I just can’t, I’m torn between two halves of my heart: The Me who is scarred and my future afar; Who I could be and who I was from the start. I am filled to the brim with the love that these two players are fighting to win, A love that is pure and as…
