Endurance
Under sheer
pressures
And many storms
weathered
I have
persevered, stood tall
Now is my time
To bloom and
blossom
Celebrate the
very roots
That kept me
going
Helped me
through it all.

Falling Apart
Life is so fraught
Emotions
frazzled, fried
A brain on the
brink of blowing
From all that's
been held inside
So much upheaval
and misery
A constant
presence of pressure
How does one get
through it all
Just trying to
go on like this from day to day
When
everything's falling apart around you
Like a house of
cards...

Flourishing...
Ripe vibrant
buds
Ready to burst
into bloom
An eye-catching
sight.

Ghost World
Our world is
becoming a shadowland
Green pastures
turning to sand
Tears of extinction
are going unnoticed
Through man's
selfish strife.

Inked Frustrations
Tears of a poets
fall
Droplets of
sorrow and pain
Finding their
way onto paper
Where in ink
they flow again
Words of deep
emotions
That have so
long been repressed
Now ready to see
the light of day
Ready to be
expressed.

Love's Mind Games
They love me,
they love me not
That old cliché
A love lost
connection
Fading by the
day
Drying out,
getting brittle
Colour fading,
not there
All confused,
all emotional
Yet numb without
care
They love me,
they love me not
I guess the
latter had won
What was once
colourful and rosy
Has now wilted
in the sun.
