Water calling Water

The grey waves rolling, bubbling, drawing me in, hypnotising my senses,

the wind a thousand fingers stroking my skin, hands trailing over every curve, every rise,

the sand swirling around my feet a dizzying dance of elation,

washing away every burden and every sin,

gifting me with the momentary innocence of a child,

the oceans roars through me, water calling water……

The world in your mind

When the hell in your head is too much to bear,

there is the world in your mind into which you can escape,

here you can create a space of your own, where you are in control,

where you are accepted, where you can find your breath.

In this world you can colour things your shade of darkness,

fill the shadows with monsters of your own design

and write the route to their demise,

you can choose to fill this world with people of your choice,

give them scripts from your fingers flying across the keyboard,

you can shut out the unbearable pain that has no origin and no name,

and the passage of time brings no desperation and hopelessness,

you can live your way, on your terms, and dissatisfaction is simply edited out,

in this world you can find the peace you’re not destined to find in your waking life,

but be careful, you may be tempted to get lost in there…

When I’m alone your face floats before my eyes,

there’s an ache on my skin where your touch has been,

why did you go, why did you leave such a sadness,

it’s only you, since I met you it’s only you who holds my heart,

who owns my soul, be with me now.
