Staring at a blank
page, filling it
with whatever
words leak
from my fingers.

15/06/10 - 20.42pm

I
never
sleep.
Oh, many
many sleepless
nights melding
into one
another.

13/06/10 - 19.06pm

Ageless dreams
immortalised in ink
from hazy outlines
to psychedelic landscapes.

Each one a journey
or an adventure
through the unconscious
mind. Is there meaning here
or just my head passing time?

Hot tea
little mists rise
above the white
china from the still
brown lake.

Caffeine oiling
the mind’s cogs.
A hot fall of water
down one’s throat.

11/06/10 - 18.47pm

Reading others words
written out of distress
finding clarity in the meaning
between the lines and verbs
and comma’s and full stops.

Knowing the words
will always be there
no matter what the mind
endures or turns in on its self.

It dawns on me
that another decade
is drawing to a close.

09/06/10 - 20.28pm

I hear my oldest friend
knocking - knocking
to be let in. But I
resist opening that locked
and bolted door knowing
I will be the weak one.
