a longing for home
we return to our childhood
rose coloured glasses
artificial memories
a longing for something else

Fandango Childhood
Lollipops and sunshine
spinning fairy floss at the show
Barbie and Ken feels
A fandango childhood
everything unnaturally coloured
Nothing of cold reality
You begin to crumble
faced with brown, grey, & black
Sheltered for too long
The dark colours are too much
Modern Colours
Flashes of a ballroom
vibrant 1950s green,
black and white tiles
blood red river running
between the tiles
Never to return, or so
it seemed once
Stepping over the threshold
into childhood screams
A solitary figure with
no one to greet her
The renovations were simple,
that green colour she loved
Turning away from this
place of painful memories
Leaving behind the good and
the bad for modern colours
My Old Circuit
I’ll take you away,
take you down my old circuit,
show you my old life.
No need to feel sorry for
a non-existent childhood.
Vintage Flowers
The sun feels warm,
yet the breeze tells
a different story.
Days where even the
flowers seem to have
gone vintage takes
me back to childhood
moments in the ’80s.
The carefree moments
when I did not think
about the good times
coming to an end.
Days like those were
carefree, but I must
say, looking back, that
those days felt sad too.
