Did you make it? Did you make it? To grandma’s house? Did you stray like I did? To the meadow- Of snowdrops and daffodils. Did you look at the sky? To see the sun hiding, Behind a drizzle of rain. Did you run for cover? Protecting the basket, With hands covered in dirt. Did youContinue reading “NaPoWriMo: Day 10”

Morpheus Every night people walk into his arms. For some it’s not as easy, And for some its too easy. He whisks them off to a land of dreams; Where visions lace their minds. When they wake, they may not remember, But they were in his safe embrace. But for me I remember, Every imageContinue reading “NaPoWriMo: Day 9”

A Night out The night is quiet, The streets should be filled, With families having dinner. With friends having a drink. Instead the bars are closed, And there’s nowhere to eat out.

I may be walking, but I am not living. Slowly at first, she arrived. Setting her roots within my mind, sprouting images of violence; with a mood to accompany.
