Nothing More

Fear not;
’tis only my heart your
bitter cruelty has hurt.
Nothing more.

Fret not;
’tis only my soul your
wicked tongue has scarred.
Nothing more.

Worry not;
’tis only my mind your
twisted games have marred.
Nothing more.

Cry not;
’tis only my love your
heartless actions have spurned.
Nothing more.

Fear not;
’tis only all I am your
selfish ways have destroyed.
Nothing more.

Nothing more.

What Once Went Before

We met by the green
in a pub with fine wine,
we laughed at the terrorist
wasting his time.

You spoke of your life,
and how you loved yoga,
I ordered a drink
a sweet lime and soda.

Our first kiss was nervous,
our second a pleasure,
by the end of the night
we thought this was forever.

We spent nights together
and days trading words,
such terms of affection
I’ve never once heard.

But cry out alas,
it wasn’t to be,
we came to the end of
our wonderful journey.

And now you have someone
to share in your life,
a man of such kindness,
and wit like a knife.

I smile in remembrance
of all that we had,
what once went before
wasn’t so bad.

A Brief Update

I just wanted to apologise for not posting any new pieces recently. I’m in the process of moving house and starting a new job so things are a bit hectic. Hopefully over the next few days things will calm down and fickle inspiration will maybe once again visit me. I hope you and yours are all well.

Much love.
