Silence
reigns under the surface.
There is nothing here
But peace, and quiet,
And solace for a
broken heart.
The water swirls around me
And wisps of dark hair
rise, gentle as caresses
From love long past,
love long forgotten
Like the innocence that left
When you said your goodbyes.
How much more beautiful the world is
seen from beneath the trembling waves!
I see rosemary for remembrance
And pansies for [...]

Looking back
In this [...]

You.
I’d follow you to the ends of the earth
All you have to do is ask.
I’m so wrapped up in you, my
Love. Just as I was meant to be
And, just like me, all
The tired souls of the world
Cry out for [...]
Desperation
8 October, 2008
What do you know of us?
We, sheltered in plywood and scrap metal
With nothing to our names but the clothes on our backs

With clean clothes, clean!
What we would do to be clean!
Wash away the dirt, the [...]
