The autumn wind combs the sunlight into golden locks
Resting on his heaving chest from a satisfying afternoon nap
Her chestnut eyes crackling in the fire of longing
Such desire, too wild to tame
Are They Really Spare Rooms?
Almost 58,000 families and individuals are waiting for affordable housing in New South Wales, Australia.
They are sleeping in their cars, in their family or friends’ couches or garages, in tents in parks, in cardboard boxes on park benches.
How many vacant properties are there?
How many spare rooms are in our homes?
#songshare – Jealous
I’m jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It’s closer than my hands have been
I’m jealous of the rain
I’m jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It’s closer than your shadow
Oh, I’m jealous of the wind, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There’s nothing to forgive
But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
I’m jealous of the nights
That I don’t spend with you
I’m wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I’m jealous of the nights
I’m jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I’m jealous of the love, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There’s nothing to forgive
But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day
Cause all I do is cry behind this smile
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There’s nothing to forgive
But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me

Living Poetry prompt – Useless
I don’t ever want you feel sad
But wishful thinking is useless
I don’t even know if you are ok
Now I am no longer in your life
The Colours of Nature
Grass, sky and sand
Are my favourite colours
Wherever I am
Freshly cut grass
Rain washed sky
Sunlit sand
They remind me of home
Far away
But closer than my skin
Rainbow Moods
Violet comforts me with her sympathetic hand
Indigo sinks me into an ocean of sadness
Blue gives me freedoom to rise above
Green guides me towards hope
Yellow brightens evey cell in me
Orange infuses me with ecstatic happiness
Red captivates me with excitement
Warfare
The bashing storm in my head
The accusing finger at my temples
The wisdom of knowing their falsehood
Getting out of bed is a struggle
Facing a new day with a smile is a struggle
Fighting for my identity is a real battle
I am not a disappointment
I am not a half way wonder
I am fiercely and freely living
Love Stays
I remember
You said
We would argue in poetry
The same way
We would show love in poems
All these years
I keep writing
Because
I haven’t stopped
Loving you
Hello Autumn
Yesterday was the hottest day in summer
Like a lover fighting for their relationship
Refusing to breakup
Today is the first day of autumn
Inevitably, unapologetically
Leaving behind the passionate, hot and steamy season
Que sera sera
What does he look like
When will I see him
Where will we meet
How am I gonna react
Why hasn’t he shown up
What if the he is just an illusion
