Tinted rain sends sonic sounds and whispers through the bird drenched lullaby of the bush. The wet drips. Drips in muted glory. Reflecting light, dispelling light. Each tinted drop tumbles to the ground in playful gesture. Softly landing. Yellow raincoats appear with glistening skin and plastered hair. Ruddy cheeks. Cheeky cherubs in the rain exploring. … Continue reading Yellow Raincoats

Tumbling down
With grinding teeth and sobbing tears my recent hopes, my greatest fears, came tumbling down into a mess. I hate these times I must confess. Cause when your world comes tumbling down there's no-one there to ease that frown, and so you dwell upon each thing you cannot change...it sure does sting. You can't change what has … Continue reading Tumbling down

Love shining like sprinkled sunbeams that dazzle the moon. You beam with excitement my dear, my lovely. For he is there. There with … Continue reading Inseparable
The Waiting Room
Screeching fingernails mark the chalkboard of your mind. Each scratch sends shivers down your spine. Angst. Silently the world looks on. Unseen REM as eyes dart back and forth. Tick tock. Slow motion in your world. Counting each second. Counting each moment like a timebomb. Waiting and watching. Watching and waiting. A leg taps the … Continue reading The Waiting Room
