Leaving Ashley Down - Poem

I sit in front of the television

Staring into space

There’s a man talking about some decision

That he really couldn’t face

Upstairs room is bare, bags are packed

But you are not around

You’ve gone away because you lacked

Patience with the sound

of my voice.

Though you didn’t know I was leaving

You didn’t wait to find out

Can’t cope with senseless grieving

And the silence drove me out.

I walk out the door forever

My face dry and soul bare

Realising we’re not together

Knowing how our relationship fared

Middling to worst?

Or the sublime?

Especially when you became mine.

Memories flood me, tears run dry

And the thought of you...

Looking into my room...

Makes me hope that Time

Will heal

my Heart.

Again.

Happy New Year!!! - Blog Post

To all my readers out there - thank you so much for being a part of my adventures. Little did I know that this small blog could reach so many countries far and wide! So, from London, I send you all my love and peace and wish you the very best in 2016.

For me 2015 was unexpected and if you had told me the story of my year at the beginning I wouldn't have believed a word. It's been a year of tears and laughter, of resistance and surrender, of plants and trees, long walks and lunar moments, of friendship and family and friendships transforming into family, of travels and dreams, of walking away and finding anew. There have been hugs and kisses... stories and tales... endings and disappointments... beginnings and blessings... new life and death... Light and shadow and constantly the inner search driving me... relentlessly... onwards... moving me forward. Seeking... Searching for more.

Catch you on the flipside.

Peace xxx

Surface Edge - Poem

Surface Edge

Are my brown eyes too dark?

Do you know what they have to say?

Why is it you think you know

When I choose to look your way?

Always you think you’re right

Always I think I’m through

But we both seem to be undone

By what we think is true

I flood my eyes upon you

I wish you would wash yourself

But you like to choose another truth

Which exist in other realms

Tell me I am not the only one

dancing in this rain

though I am not looking for your shelter

nor your treatment of disdain

But this dam needs rebuilding

there are too many hidden lines

most will be swept by the current

called this inescapable time

that exists in worlds of duality

of which I can’t yet escape

though I’m told its not reality

these bright colours and hard shapes

But what is it you are afraid of?

When you look into the black?

That no light will conquer the surface edge,

that there is no turning back?
