Sky High

As the azure turns to navy, When the sun sets in the sky, She wakes up and wanders the streets, Searching for a high...

Happy New Year

January 1, 2021January 1, 2021Categories Poetry Corner1 Comment on Happy New Year

From an overcrowded warehouse filled with bass lines and ignorant cheer, We welcomed each other into another hopeful new year. It was the twentieth year of the twenty-first century and after one final night of rambunctious debauchery, We made our resolutions with every intention to adhere, Not knowing twenty-twenty's plans to interfere. The winter, whilst…

A Trip to Edinburgh: A Poem

November 25, 2020November 25, 2020Categories Poetry Corner

Edinburgh made me do it. It had been years since I had left home . . . Having a love for roaming alone, Walking along the cobblestones, An "old soul" reminiscing about long ago. The bow window and the park below, With trees of yellow, red and gold, The literature carved into the stone, The…

Un Mal Pour un Bien

November 16, 2020November 17, 2020Categories Poetry Corner3 Comments on Un Mal Pour un Bien

Everything happens for a reason, Just maybe not in the way we’ve been told. Sometimes life can be hard when we’re young, Yet easier as we grow old… When the happiest times were the bitterly cold nights and you could see your breath in the sky... But when that summer came around, you were inconsolable…

They Roll Their Eyes

October 14, 2020October 27, 2020Categories Poetry Corner1 Comment on They Roll Their Eyes

I am annoyed. I am angry. But am I allowed to be? Or is that too concerning, with the badge they have given me? I am trapped inside my own head and I don't know what to do. Too many unanswered questions that I can't construe. There isn't a day that goes by, everything doesn't…

The Wilted Flower

October 8, 2020October 27, 2020Categories Poetry CornerLeave a Comment on The Wilted Flower

The flower you picked has wilted, But it still stands in its vase, The photo has been bleached by the sun, But I can still make out your face. They tell me to throw them away, To try and start anew, But some days they make me smile, And others, I just miss you.

Pluviophile

Don't tap against my windows Make as much noise as you can Drench me to my very core Let go weatherman. Blow before your lungs collapse Lift the roof from this home Tear up the concrete drive Break through the Thatchere'd stone. Take me away with you You can be my guide So kick down…

Grey

September 26, 2020October 27, 2020Categories Poetry CornerLeave a Comment on Grey

Your love felt deep red,warm, romantic and comforting.Your home shone silver,like the band of a diamond ring.Your eyes were a blue,that I wanted to dive into.And your lips were pink,soft, honest and true. But then the red began to burn,and the silver turned to grey,The blue, once so inviting,seemed cold and far away. The pink…

My Old Front Door

September 25, 2020October 27, 2020Categories Poetry CornerLeave a Comment on My Old Front Door

I'm moving away from your city, to start a life down by the sea,Where the air is clear, the birdsong is loud and my soul can wander free.If you are passing through and you see my home, I know that you'll be sure,When you see butterflies and chipped blue paint, upon my old front door.

Bluebird

Did you see me or did I see you? When we walked along the esplanade, I listened to you for hours on end, Until I no longer felt afraid. You never said a word, But you were the most beautiful sound and sight, As you peered into my soul and whispered, "Everything will be alright."
