ever hear about the one who was always alone?
how he tried as much as he could to atone
how he woke in fright
looked round for the light
and realised at last that being alone was being at home
(for mara’s poetry 101 rehab – home)
“we’ve got a file on you” – blur
press the button
treated just like mutton
can you hear the cries
as they fall like flies
called to trial
and the taste
of
bile
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – blur)
once warm flesh, now cold, stone
remembering, now she was alone
fingers on her skin, tracing, heart racing
opening up, exposed, aching to sing
frozen now, those moments lost
oh how, she had never
wanted it, ever, to
end
(for mara’s poetry101rehab – end)

your
book
don’t look
now
it’s
gone

when red stalked the earth
righteous men preferred to dress in blue
time of great mirth?
(for justine’s eclectic corner #8)
like an iceberg, broken away
i drift, dwindle, diminish
current taking me away
others float, others diminish
my path uncharted
where will i finish
will it ever end, or just diminish
fade away, or, as it started
end, in
collision
(for mara’s poetry 101 rehab)
fresh tracks
real life
eschewing, what’s not, to be
seen, as
heaven, on earth?
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – fresh)
there was once a young man who flew a kite
who knew that nothing he did was right
he tried, oh he tried, to be heard
it wasn’t until the third
that he saw the light, and knew he was right
(a limerick for mara’s poetry rehab – right)
(and for lucile’s the photo 101 rehab – the clinic)
*shot with nikon d700, 50mm f/1.4 lens and…no editing in any app at all*
fifteen minutes, is
a lifetime
or
a just, a few
minutes?
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – wall)
