Just don't
Don't tell me you know how I feel
Don't tell me you understand
Don't tell me it's going to be ok
Because it never, ever will.
Don't tell me that you're praying for me
Don't tell me god is real
Don't tell me she's at peace now
Because it will never, ever help.
Don't tell me to be strong
Don't tell me not to cry
Don't tell me time will heal this wound
Because it never, ever will.
Don't tell me what she would have wanted
Don't pretend to know her heart
Don't use her name to make your point
Don't speak her name at all.
Don't talk about the future
Don't think about the past
Don't smile, don't laugh, don't enjoy the world
Now all of her is lost.

Loved
Loved
I just met
you, just a few moments ago
And you made
me feel loved.
You looked at
me once,
Saw something
you liked.
You listened
and you laughed with me
Cried a
single tear…
And you made
me feel loved.
Our time
together was fleeting, already gone too soon.
We shared
discoveries, opinions;
Thoughts on
life, love and passion.
We explored
corners unknown and found beauty untold
Adoring every
moment…
And you made
me feel loved.
I thought I was
broken but you never saw the cracks.
You had no
questions, reservations, concerns
You sat with
my joy, my crazy, my silence,
Not once was I
judged for being who I am.
I just met
you, just a few moments ago…
But you made
me feel loved.
Falls
Falls
Water
cascading through water
Mountains of
foam brushing away the rocks.
Tides
parting, breaking, merging
The roar of
the waves echoes from on high.
I could stay
here all day
The water
drowning my thoughts.
The sun warms
my back
And ideas flowing
through me
Start to stir
these sleepy hands.
If I tried
If I tried
If I tried to
explain it you just wouldn’t believe me:
It’s
paradise, heavenly,
Too good to
be true
If I tried to
describe it my words could never tell:
The truth
about beauty and nature,
The world on
its own
If I tried to
paint a picture no colour would do:
No brush
could follow the line
Serenity forms
before my eyes
If I tried to
put it to music I’d rather become deaf:
Than attempt
to mimic perfection;
An unthinkable,
unjust task.
If I tried to
write it in verse I would end up giving up:
Because this
moment, this scene, this feeling
Is far beyond
the life I know.

My Oliver
My Oliver
My best friend and
my silent partner
My warmth,
comfort, my sense of belonging.
My baby, ward, my
beautiful soul,
My dependant and my
welcome home.
My early rise and
late to bedder
My loyal,
dearest, most selfless ally.
My contentment, my
relaxer;
Relaxing,
reclining feline prince, who sits with my distress.
My memories of
times gone by
My rock who never
cried,
Who misses every
day with me
Who witnessed
every night.
My solace and my
peacefulness
With love and
patience be,
An alien example
of everything I need
What's lost I
found in he.

Sleepless
in the jungle
Nature does
not stop
It never
sleeps: never quits.
Always
working, always moving
Never sick
and never slowing.
Changing,
growing, being born every day -
You will
never step in the same river twice,
See the same
sunrise, or feel the same wind.
And when it
gets bored of just being beauty
When nature
tires of its grace and glory,
It screams
and shouts. It thrashes and crashes,
Maims its own
children in fits of anger born from nowhere .
Till beauty
is restored and nature calms by itself
Never
slowing, never stopping
Always
working, never sick.
