Reflections in the Mirror

You are a demon in my dreams

Haunting me with all you say

The words that you scream

When the night bleeds into day

You are the voice in the darkness

that sounds like doors creaking

Like rodents scratching and squeaking

All of my nightmares rolled into one

So why do I find that in moments of sadness

It's always towards you that I run

Do I seek solace in the knowledge?

that I'll never be enough

Do I like to feel rough?

Is hate a good replacement for love

You are the snake in the grass

the viper ready to snap

you won’t let me pass

all of my energy you sap

you are a virus infecting my mind

find just the right way to bring me down

when I’m floating above

make me cry when I just want to laugh

make it hard to give anyone love

You are voice in my nightmares

the reflection in the mirror

night-time scares, of hearts laid bare

You are the image I see

two sides of a coin its true

You are me, and I am you

Little Gifts

Little things can give life meaning

when you have that sinking feeling

like your boat has sprung a leak

and all you have is a colander

to bail you out

it can all seem very bleak

sometimes it's the rays of light

drying up the water that makes

it feel like less of a fight

When the world has you down on the ground,

and continues its beating

kicking and biting, scratching and screaming

forcing you to beg

when all you want is to crawl

into a hole to escape the attack

sometimes it's the hand that pulls you back

the one that applies the pressure dressing

to stem the bleeding

that makes life worth living

When the fires of hell, are tickling your feet

when the sweat from your brow, burns in the heat

and all you can think is, 'when will this end?'

a kind word can be a godsend

an insightful talk, A shared joke

a smile that raises hope, that doesn’t prod or poke

when life locks you in the dark

the right words can be the key to unlock your heart

Sometimes it's the smallest thing

that breaks the cycle

like a sincere smile

that raises

when you give your time to praise

rather than cause hurt

or when you find a new part of town

that you have never wandered down

seeing all new sites with smiling eyes

sometimes thoughts take flight

the love seen in eyes, that look deep inside

it's those moments that we share

showing that we care

that fill life with hope instead of despair

Thanks For Reading.

On Crescent Moon

On crescent moon

we let our love speak

Its luminosity lit her eyes

Flickered briefly through the disguise

And I saw a smile through the gloom

The mask fell to the floor

And our lips joined together

let our love speak in silent words that meant more

Meant that this was what our lives

were leading towards

On open roads

we let our feet walk

We learn to let love talk

In hushed tones unspoken

No need for words

Or tokens

As moonlight shivered over her figure

It soaked into every pore,

liquid light shimmering like a river

In those darkened skies,

we let our hearts fly

as our pupils adjusted to the night

I saw first light,

love's fire burning bright

As we let the chill wind touch

memories left long behind

We let them fly away,

as we had new stories to find

Thanks For Reading

Peace & Love.

Headlight Blinded

New worlds into which we grew

streets and avenues

trees lined the paths

like crowds watching a procession

all new places to find

taking in the night

in spite of the chill winds snappy bite

letting it dance in our minds

as it holds on tight

keeping us warm

as we explore the world

just out of sight

This is no grand adventure

no distant journey

but the destination is worthy

just a joyride into the unknown

an insight into how much we've grown

headlight blinded

like distant eyes

piercing with intense glows

and the delights, that the moonlight shows

on these streets, tree lined

The road twists and turns

it isn’t a simple straight line

it has dips and inclines

there are parts where the traffic flows

others where lights make it slow

the view changes in just a few heartbeats

city streets to green grass country seats

if I could, I'd travel forever

drift from place to place

with a heart by my side

that would also embrace

the way the world changes

with every second, every breath we taste

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
