A young girl hopes to find her prince one day

Someone to hold her, to save her

Oh to be a child again, to dream and to play

Dreams are for sleeping some might say

But there must be something deeper

Something more than living day by day

In that silent, empty bed you lay

Oh the curse of a faithless sleeper

The dreams you weave continue to fray

On painful nights you begin to pray

Begging God t...

A push and a push and a push

Rubber soles kiss rough concrete

And I’m gliding

The wind gripping and pulling my hair

My skateboard moving faster and faster

In that moment

It feels like all the laws of physics

Find perfect harmony within me

Balance, acceleration, inertia, force

Like an airplane going faster and faster

Before disappearing into the sky

Leaving everything else behind

It all f...

Look up

Into the air

At the stars

So far, so so so far

Reach up

Can you feel it?

The pull

The energy

The yearning

for something more

Feel up

Into the night

The blackness

The dreamers vacuum

Do you feel your heart stretching

Into space

Into nothing

Into the stars

Hope

Hope because that’s all you can do

Hope between the space

The space

Between the stars and you

Love

Love

Love

L...

Who the hell are you?

To kiss me like that 

Every time you turn away

Feels like you take it right back

But that glint in your eyes

Reflecting all the lights

Like stars into the sky

Reaching towards me in the night

Who the hell are you?

To kiss her like that

Are there ever times

You wish you could take it back

Why can’t you look me in the eyes

Is it because of all the lies

The apathy you disguise

...

It hurts

The rot

I feel it all crumbling away

My heart

My gut

The lines on my face sink

Into the empty inside of me

Like a balloon

Leaking air

Getting small

Sinking lower day by day

Why did you fill me up

Why did you let me fly so high

Only to watch me fall

And deflate

I should have popped

When I was still full

In a glorious boom

Shiny rubber stretched thin

So delicate

So vulnerable...

She had never even touched a man. Mary often dreamed of finding a husband and starting a family. Nobody would have guessed that she would one day have a child out of wedlock and things are not what they seem. Will Joseph, the man she was betrothed to, find a way to love her and the son that doesn’t belong to him? Will they both face the wrath of social judgement to avoid the wrath of the God they ...

This just in! In an an astonishing act of nature and revenge, the south-pacific ocean has begun engulfing entire countries at a time! Licking at the shores like a bored kid in a barber shop, wave after wave decimates homes and farms. Entire towns are defenceless against the cruel and eager hands of Mother Nature!...

Bright red

Irises absorb the bloody light

A black hole of colour

Amongst cloudy September

A splotch of feeling,

Vulnerability bundled and tucked

Beneath small trembling arms

Clutching onto dying flowers

As if they are all the warmth

All the warmth in the world

Somebody saw me

Somebody loved me

Can you believe it?

But too soon

Because it’s sooner that forever

Petals dull

And the glow dissipa...

Clawed feet scratch the dirt

Left left right right left right

Through the maze

For a pointless prize

Even if I make it

I am right back where I began

A piece of cheese

A piece of bread

A gentle hand

I scurry and crawl

With everything I have

But to what end

There is no end

In the end

I bite the hand that feeds me

So that maybe it’ll let me starve

Then I can really end

The maze with no...

The flames lick and tickle

I feel so warm

I could sleep here forever

Not too close

Not too far

Enough to light the way

And cause no harm

The flames sting and sizzle

I think I’m dying

Ripped apart by the heat

Consumed

By the once gentle beast

Charred and ugly

I waste away in my suffering

The fire is gone

I’m numb and I’m cold

I miss being warm

At least it hurts less

Than the burni...
