Driven The street her catwalk The clothes her haute couture Head held high She strutted her stuff At sixteen she was quite mature Wrong side of the tracks Not a good start to life Being posh elevated her confidence Avoiding the strife Able to work this To get what she needed Knowing herself Trusting herselfContinue reading “Driven”

Meeting
Meeting The coolness of the marble Soothed her feeling of duress Waiting patiently for the outcome She smoothed down her dress Looking quickly in her compact She checked her hair A stray wisp had escaped Giving her an eclectic flair The museum was quiet She gazed at the artwork Standing in front of the paintingContinue reading “Meeting”
Lies
Lies One little lie, two little lies Three lies, four This is how it begins Hard to keep track Impossible to ignore Choosing to go down that slippery slope There’s no turning back The choice has been made Say goodbye to all hope Infatuation is a welcome guest But he obscures your vision With aContinue reading “Lies”
Losing My Religion
Losing My Religion There is no copyright on God It’s a free for all game All taking a different route But the ending is the same Babies drinking scripture In their mother’s milk Buddhists shaving their head In robes of orange silk Distorted thinking Insisting God is a warmonger Murdering innocents For a life toContinue reading “Losing My Religion”

Reborn
Reborn The fog gave way to the morning sun as it struggled to shine on the cliffs of might The wind thrashing the sea grasses Blowing away remnants of the night Walking slowly away from the memories of you Inhaling deep a freshness of purity What’s done is done Your voice no more living inContinue reading “Reborn”
Lagging
Lagging Tiredness came swiftly Smothering Laying heavy on my eyes and limbs Suppressing efforts of revival A deep state Encompassing Feeling grubby and unclean Exhausting Succumbing to sleep Dramatic and deep Eccentric Dreams Teasing Body failing to adjust Confusing Brightness of mind Wins over darkness of night Fully awake Rejuvenating Mind now alert Conflicting EnergyContinue reading “Lagging”
The Voyage of Annie Moore
The Voyage of Annie Moore She stood shivering in the night Her siblings never far from sight The fog was hanging thick in the air As they stood waiting saying a silent prayer Tonight the journey will be across the ocean On the high seas a future, stirring emotion A new country lured them awayContinue reading “The Voyage of Annie Moore”
