words of weight

You can see someone for years and not know them.

But when you write you release yourself,
you get your inside pouring outside
marking the pages and screens on which it falls
giving your reader a taste of something
they never knew existed within you.

When you write you free yourself from the burden
of hearing your voice make your thoughts real.
You speak your heart out in silence.
Without parting a single lip or uttering a single word,
you show yourself to only those who care to see.

You can know someone for years and not see them.

disobedient pair

You speak out of turn and before you are told,
you are impatient and for that you will pay.

You race ahead before the mind has time to assess the situation and quickly put yourself and everyone else at risk.

You hesitate to say what is truly to be said,
and then blurt out that which is to be kept within.

You sometimes seek to please those who will hear you,
instead of being true to he who controls you.


You have much to learn,
you pair of naughty lips.

frame in pause

scenes move in fast forward around a body in pause, watching from the centre, waiting for something...

needing some force to jolt it into reality and get it moving with the pace, streaming with life.

cree

I smile
wrapped in a towel after a long shower
where the day's cares were gently washed away.
No rush.
A time to relax,
listen,
remember
childhood places.

'You are the highlight of my day...'
