I’m away into the wild
Humbled, eyes wide, I’m a child
Lost between these boneless wooden arms
Crying out for help? Crawling towards the sun?
Some bent like giant cradling mothers
I’m a baby in our lovely womb
Naked in our echoing decadent room
Eyes wide at the centre of an atom
That one almighty artist
With not a single gallery but a billion tributes
Not a pattern or a picture or a poem was not her idea

Unfolding the gratitude I had tucked in my pocket

In awe, with pride, in fear
So lucky, so lucky to live here. 

Where better to post cheesy poems you wrote whilst you were on holiday? Just thought I’d stick this up here, ‘cause you know, this space is for my creative stuff. I write tons of poems and I never show anyone so be nice!

Esperence

I woke up alone to a gentle affection,
A tie dye horizon bleeding out her perfection,
A thousand sweet kisses pushed the sun out of bed,
kept warm, the moon relished, arms wide, legs spread,
a fuschia persuasion, the moon took the covers,
parted way with the day like they were old assured lovers,
stepped aside,
gave her room to dance

to colour the world in
to soften hard places
to brighten the palet
to find the snails traces
to rouse song from the trees
and smiles from our faces
for she is an artist,
and he; simply caring,
chasing her tail,
without being overbearing,
and when she resides he is glowing with pride,
rocking her children with the lull of the tide.

Homeward bound and feeling inspired. Watch this space :)
