Poem: Time

I felt the passage of time

More strongly than ever

When I had peace and quiet

Enough to watch it

Drift through my fingers,

Enough for me to feel fine

About how fleeting it is

To be alive, how fleeting

It is to have time, to live

To let go of it, to live and

To be alive.

Poem: The Sound of Sleeplessness

The whirring of a ceiling fan

Revolving at full speed

Is the sound of sleeplessness

That plays in place of dreams.

Poem: About Moving On

Romantic love, lately,

Has brought thoughts

Of stories and fiction

To my mind; I feel a

New kind of love for

Myself as I realize that

You aren’t the first

Person who comes

To mind anymore.

Poem: Moving Mountains

You said you’d move mountains for me

Because you thought it was what I wanted to hear –

But I didn’t need you to fix my problems,

As you were so keen to try to do;

You were becoming a mountain blocking my path,

And all I wanted was for you to move.

A sleepy me - neither of
