Day Two Hundred and Thirty Nine: 19th March 2013

its more difficult lately
finding the words
matching the colours
visual form eludes me
mark making an illusion

and so the day passes
fruitless into the night

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Eight: 18th March 2013

thinking back to that weekend
I remember laughing and a passion
an aspiring need to be happy
and to be forever with you

but that was so long ago
another time and place
memories now tainted
teeter on the edge
frayed and elusive

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Seven: 17th March 2013

it was a strange dream
during the slumberly morning hours
and you told me where to go
explaining how to get there

but I didn’t want to follow…

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Six: 16th March 2013

gray shadows dance playfully
in time with the flickering flame
swaying to a silent symphony
till whoosh… all is dark

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Five: 15th March 2013

today is the day
I’ll be happy
I’ve decided
and I will smile

or maybe I’ll wait
until another tomorrow

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Four: 14th March 2013

its confusing to think
to write clearly
and focus
today

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Three: 13th March 2013

a buzzing mosquito woke me
before the crashing thunder
shook the house
and you pulled me close
sleeping again
lullabied by the rain
till the daybreak warble of a magpie

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Two: 12th March 2013

wild green eyes stared intently back at me
piercing, lost and lonely, unruly and angry
and I watched those eyes steadily
in a dimly lit reflection at the back of a cluttered musty room
forgetting – or remembering – it was me

Day Two Hundred and Thirty One: 11th March 2013

a pearl of salty sweat
drips down my chest
perpendicular to your shoulders
and splashes on the crinkled sheets

passion’s silent witness

Day Two Hundred and Thirty: 10th March 2013

a tenuous grip on reality
is what I told them you had
when you stared blankly
across the bare table
open mouth soundless
clenched fists loose
