POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Don't forget, breathe
this longing leaves me panting
as if breathing becomes a burden again
as if breathing becomes a burden again

Until she's back
Shh
don't utter metaphors
destroy those that already existed
and sleep a dreamless slumber
Inspired by the idea that metaphors create the world.

A hippie who never wore a colourful bandana
A late bloomer he was,
with nothing much to say.
Sitting by the corner of
his favourite coffee shop
wishing for world peace
but he never wore a
colourful bandana.
Note: this is the first time i've written anything of this sort. Please bear with me until
I learn the skill.

no formalities *
never been afraid
of silence.
we always got on well.
safely tucked under the
blankets until a knock
on the door was heard.
*no capital letters. just small ones.

Needles
How rewarding it was.
As if my skin was made
of stone. Numb from all
sorts of pain but one:
letting you go.

Just when I was about to start writing Haiku again
and I cling upon you
like a leaf on the branches
of a young and foolish tree.

Moments don't deserve to end
If you're one of
those who believe that
moments should be
preserved, think again.
Moments don't deserve
to end; they don't deserve
to be idealised.

Fiction
I want to be buried
in the pages of my
fictitious world.
Where words never
end, never hurt
and never more beautifully written.

In a name
Of course I wouldn't recommend it. It's
Pitch black outside
Honey. Don't go searching for me for
I know Im never
Ever to be found.

Riddle
You moody little thing.
You're never out when
I want you to.
whether alone or with
your friends;
whether captured or
set free.
(written for the Endless Riddle thread.)

Writhed
What is it like to hold
in your bare hands
my very existence?
A living and breathing
word with its own heartbeat.

Two years
I write for you
as if you were my ampersand,
a thin string between
sane & insane
† to my Dearest 22/2/2010
