Angel of Ukraine

09/09/202520/09/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

exhausted angel
slowly falls apart from war
a wing gone astray
hands lay still in the rubble
weeping tears of blood alone

Turn

We turn our faces
from the sun that burns our eyes
The sun will still shine
We turn ourselves from the one
full of seethe and destruction

Italian for a Day

Caught by the sunlight
Mortar and Pestle pummel
a little pesto
Today you are Italian
flour footprints and sips of wine

Hiker

05/09/202520/09/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

an untamed hiker
legs followed by the body
conquering mountains
audacious and often rude
Kindness exchanged for the gifts

Snow falls on her face
Destiny has found her soft
a mirror image
The conqueror now conquered
They are both linked by the snow

Posted in Poetry, snowTagged hiker, love, poem, poetry, snow

Saturn Comes

Saturn comes for me
I watch myself start to change
Lost motivation
I am conscious of failing
Does the Law matter to me?

Hiking for One

03/09/202520/09/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

So many failures
What could have been plays the reel
wrinkles are forming

imaginary goals
laughter from the family
Begone with this shit

beginning the journey
feeling Bilbo Baggins vibes
minus the gold ring

hiking party for one
The hill eluded her for years
tripping over grass

Hoping for the rain
Saying goodbye to Winter
Sneezes replace speech

a tempting solace
watching the way the birds dance
in the backyard grass

Nearing the End

29/08/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

The trap was hidden
once in love with ideas
driven to succeed

I paid with my time
dreaming of billable hours
lost in the targets

competing for space
pungent air in open plan
bitchiness on tap

holding myself close
fear of losing my income
health aligns with fate

walking away

Posted in PoetryTagged career change, health, poem, poetry, work
