Footprints in the sand
dancing to sounds of the sea
Fingering a shell
dancing into the wavelets
Forever my soft sea spouse
Wild Rain
I wrote this one yesterday.
We have experienced Winter in Spring.
It’s lovely, as the rain is everywhere at the moment, yet the thought of Summer makes me wish for more rain and cold weather.
A rain cloud kind of wild day
Petrichor blew away by the wind
The wild rain calling outside
Placing my empty porcelain cup
The inside smells cannot win
Walking outside to feel the wild rain
Friday Night Blues
An unused coffee cup,
milk in the fridge, yet the kettle is too far away.
I sit working away;
working, and working, and working the day away.
Results mean little,
as the dollar signs are all they care about here.
Tired of the stress;
too many tasks leave my body tired and frazzled.
Friday night blues,
as thoughts of catastrophic failures, haunt me.
Night Owl
Hiding all day,
living all night.
The stress of the day,
the wonder of the night.
Over and over again,
no sunlight, only moonlight.
One night sleep came
until the light of day shone.
Stepping outside,
a blue sky, the sun, a cloud.
Standing still,
to apricate.

Coffee aroma
floating towards the wild scents

Written Innocence
Your innocence,
writing between the
lines of your poetry.
Between the lines,
all the novels are about love,
romanticising complexities.
You’re so young,
so full of windswept lovers;
in time, your words will change.
He reads your words,
waiting for the change,
not too soon.
Troublous Soul
Me, a troublous soul.
Sitting up too late at night,
Hiding in my home.
Alone in the Eigengrau
Alone in the darkness.
A sheet is no protection from
the monsters lurking unseen.
She squints to see what is absent,
to quiet the fear within.
Alone in the Eigengrau,
waiting for the terror to begin.
Soft unnatural footsteps freeze the fear,
almost stop her heart.
A silent scream fails to break the silence.
The closer it comes.
The closer it comes.
The closer it comes.
The clos-… “Mum”.
No Power
The power went out to start the day.
No coffee,
no tea,
no computer.
The weather grew fierce, and the wind
lashed the house with cold rain, hail.
The wild dog broke free from its chains
to show us what we take for granted.
When the power went out,
I thought of
showers,
writing,
work.
The Old Path
Between the cliff and the sea,
walking along a sandy path.
No, shells left for you to see,
nor the feelings you once felt.
Beautiful this place once was,
when we did not need shoes.
No heart in this place anymore;
destroyed by pollution and plastic.
