If I could change the colour of the sky

If I could change the colour of the sky

What would I wish it to be

I don’t wish for blue anymore

It just doesn’t appeal to me

How bout yellow, I like it so

So bright and cheerful to see

Like a flower so sweet to smell

That’s the colour for me

It suffocates me

It’s so hard

Weighing me down

My morale is

Making me drown

No matter what

I try to do

It suffocates me

Like super glue

Down my throat

Clogging my nose

No way to stop it

That’s how it goes

Tell me your secret

Maybe I didn’t know

What your secret was

What you have been hiding

Only just because

Your darkest little thing

That you keep to yourself

Thinking about you all the time

And nobody else

But you forget I know you

And I know when you lie

You cannot hide it from me

I can see it in your eyes

Go on spill it now

Tell me what it is

Let it off your chest

You owe me at least this

The secret garden under my bed

I never knew they could grow there

Such beautiful colours

A garden of flowers

Growing underneath my bed

Red roses with such fragrance

Mesmerising me with its blood red

As I breathe in all its odour

Such a powerful drug

Sending me to euphoria

Its softness cushioning my nose

And I am lost inside

The petals engulf me

Surrounding my body

I give myself

To the garden

Happily

When you stop searching for

What already exists at home

I just want to breathe

At the moment

I think we would like to breathe

I think we have given up

As we have to heed

We watch the news

And check the stats

How many more deaths

Staring at that fact

Vaccines now going around

The change is slow

We have to be patient

That’s how it goes

Maybe there is a chance

That soon we may be free

Not to protect ourselves

How good would that be?

Our story

I am going to write a story

And you’ll fall in love with me

You will be cradled in my arms

And we will be happy

We cannot know what life brings

Or control each suprise

If I already knew the ending

I would still look into your eyes

Cousin Peter – hospital

I finally spoke with a friendly voice

That knows my cousin well

Turns out he was in hospital

Before the covid spell

But this voice doesn’t know

Anymore than me

And I’m going to have to dig

If I want to be freed

Burdened by the unknown

Only holding on to hope

Time is my only option

Call it an escape rope

My next steps that I’ll make

May provide something

And stop adding to this book

Because I’m really missing him

Muffled by masks when drinking our beers

Life · New work

The power of dance

I used to love to dance

Majestically moving like silk in the wind

The music would play

And envelop my soul

Controlling my spirit

With its melodic hold

I would breathe it

With every movement

My body my treasure

My actions feel right

As it would move

Without having to think

I would dance forever and a day

Until I could no more

Stopped by my own weakness

Or until the music ends

But if I had my way

Time would never stop

And neither would I
