In Normandy
the seas
are calm
having eighty
years ago
swallowed the
lives of
so many
let us
never forget
the prices
that so
many paid

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.
Know (for Ayomi)
You simply
cannot find
something if
you don’t
know what
it is
therefore take
the time
to discover
and decide
for not
then everything
be it
sex love
or relationship
becomes disposable
a castoff
something not
someone of
little worth
and even
less value
Depths
It is
now only
now only
ever now
when I
dip into
and pull
no coax
and seduce
these feelings
to float
to form
splash and
play about
until they
once again
disappear into
the depths
leaving me
to wonder
when if
ever again
Sea
The memory
of you
stays afloat
like a
far off
buoy bobbing
about in
the sea
of me
Word
A man
is only
his word
be it
hello goodbye
or maybe
a man
respects another
man’s word
despite its
happiness pain
or pause
a man
only loves
those who
do cherish
love like
his word
