Green growing things in the star-filled night The sound of birds and torches burning bright The rush and brush of long grass on bare thighs A long black braid swings in the breeze side to side A gloved hand wipes her brow and flicks sweat away The wind blows long and rubber tree leaves sway…

Poetry: Recycled
Love and happiness are my favourite themes I can’t help but keep writing in reams Of recycled and rehashed emotions But isn’t that the best thing about life? That the best things are repeatable And predictable And safe I am floored by the everyday kindness Of everyone who crosses my path Thank you for being…
Word To The Wise: Conniptions Again
Thanks for the whine (pun very much intended) Halva and baklava Sugar in my coffee Got milk? He asks I shake my head No, sorry! Cigarettes and conniptions again I’m so tired but I shouldn’t complain I’m happy, and it’s worth it Everyone has their own kind of merit Decorative or other Wise All the…
Poetry: Vanilla
For Sassy, may his curses all come true I’ll smile my smile Haven’t made Greek food for a while Vanilla coke to try West End by the by The days roll on and joy knows Where she’s wanted and there she goes Sassy stripes and Starbucks swipes Financial freedom and email fights Loving the hospital…

Poetry: Grief
Grief runs heavy and thick Like treacle or molasses Sticky in the mind Intrusive and encumbering Throw myself towards it Break into and through it Broken pieces of a jigsaw puzzle That reform and reshape Belief in self, world and future Beck and call on me If you need a hand I’d like to help…
Poetry: Elves Surmise
For Knife Ears, I hope you feel better soon x Red and white wine suprise that pretty elves surmise Will thread through my heart sweet strings and prise Open my lips and my mind I feel is unravelling Prayers prepared for the tracks we are travelling Crooked smiles and fire lights Ballet dancers taking flights…
Poetry: Fairy Fair
For Puck x It’s a jaunty look and cock of the head A strut for which Puck is well prepared Guiding elven bucks and wenches To places sweet and unpretentious His cheeky grin and golden locks Belie the naughtiness of his thoughts But what else could be expected of such a mischevious fairy Pretty eyes…
