For years, my mother has oft said with an affectionate and slightly omniscient tone, that the number eight represents new beginnings. I am not sure if it comes from a biblical reference, the Aramaic or Jewish calendar, but I am definitely certain, it has a very kismet-like ring to it. As I sat pondering and... Continue Reading →
I am the Sun
The scorched earth. The maroon and sunflower hues radiate through the fluffy, marshmallow-white clouds. Amongst the blades of grass, the kaleidoscope range of colourful flowers and the hardworking bees that toil away at the pollen, I realise the importance of my entire being and existence. I ponder what the day and night hold.From the beginning... Continue Reading →
I am Fire
I burn for you.Wild with reckless abandon.Uncontrollable and undefinable.I breathe, destroy, decimate and eat living and unlike things alike.Hues of sunshine yellow, blood red and midnight black.I rage against the dark of the night.Eager to dance amongst the kindling, twigs and blades of grassI urge and plead with you to set me free.

Heartbreak
Two hearts joined together Torn apart by circumstance Delusion of grandeur The bond existed in imagination Forged in steel The pain unbearable The break undefinable A moment in time Forever frozen, forever thine
Fever Dream
Waking up from the continuous fever dream Feeling the earth moving underneath my skin Heavy with regret about feeling totally alone Loneliness is a weird feeling Surrounded by people but hurt, in pain A metaphysical angst that reminds one The true meaning of the word orphan What was the reason? Apart from being consumed by... Continue Reading →
A First Encounter: Part Seven
“Say something please. Have we messed up? Tell me there’s something I could do to make it better. Anything. Anything at all,” he said, wringing his hands together. Finally, my mouth and brain seemed to realise that they weren’t working. Forming the right words was going to be a challenge in itself. Careful not to... Continue Reading →
Family – Deux
What do you think a family is? Is it just a mish mash of people who are related to each other? Are they bound together by blood and love and heart? Do they understand each other, speak their own language, laugh together Cry on each other’s shoulders, celebrate the little victories and the big wins?... Continue Reading →
