New paintings and regular art updates.
Time flies, life goes on
Hurt and pain are never gone
Somewhat diminished
But still living here
Coiled round my heart
With everything dear.
Life seen in chunks
Days weeks and months
One year follows another
Some I can smother
Forgetting the pain
But then it rises again.
My life will continue
My future uncertain
Draw back the veil
Open the curtain
On next year’s adventures
And will I have dentures?
(well I couldn’t find a better rhyme…!)
You shackled my heart,
Love, locked shut,
You closed the gate and threw away the key.
Your love rusted away,
Stopping the blood,
Iron filings instead of red corpuscles…
Bitter cold rain blended with tears,
No love here,
No more love, no more light,
Fastened in and imprisoned,
The dove turned to stone.
Take flight through one tiny gap.
Find new love,
Unbarred.
Here, behind this computer screen, I hide myself away, within the social media that connects us day to day. ..
I am in contact with the world which all around me spins, and yet I am so far away, real life no longer wins.
My mind I linked to apps and sites, I have to get my fix, of whiz bang colours, cats and dogs and all those selfie pics.
My eyes see you on glass and chrome, my fingers tap the keys, you see me on your 4G phone. There is no known release.
I’m trapped within this modern fun, and never see the sun, nor move where air is fresh and free, my life’s a lonely one.
