I Run to You

I have never met you,
and yet you know me.
I can’t help but move closer.

I have spent all my life
to build this facade
for the world to see.
How come you see my anima?
My inner child runs to you.

Do I know you?
Why do you feel like home to me?
I love you!

Cause and Effect

Why did you deny my talents
I once believed I was a nobody
trapped in my own sanity

Why did you lie about my characters
I was despised by my inner circle
to be an unforgiven failure

Why did you steal my peace
I was terrorised by your pure presence
and poisoned by your every word

Why did you betray your flesh and blood
I was entrusted to your care and protection
in a world that was already cold

Why did you twist a knife in my core belief
I looked into the mirror and saw a shattered self
distorted by your snare

“Hurting people hurt people”

Sanctuary

This used to be our secret place
Where the still water stirred by our rosy kisses
Frantic hands hidden in the bush laden inlet

Sacred kingfishers were jealous of our playfulness
Darting through the green and grey branches

Pied cormorants were watchful of the riverbank
The green and blue river rippled perfect reflection of their orbs

We sailed our little yacht along the stretched yellow mangrove
Left our sanctuary behind in the tangerine sunset

Romeo and Juliet

This is a poetry and painting collaboration with emerging Sydney Painter Virginia Bucknell

 

Love
demands absolute devotion

The stage
decorated with charisma and wit

Wild possession
seized by concealed undercurrent

Passion
let it downpour in crimson

Death
gravitates towards eternity
