Awake

Awake, waiting in the low light, forsaken, nothing bright, just rain, and trees, and leaves blowing in the breeze, and the silhouettes of the shadows, they bend and vanish as they please, but not me, I march on, I march on determinedly, I march on trying to avoid the bitter icy raindrops, the icy rain […]

Aurora borealis

Aurora borealis, out there in its colouring of light, the aurora borealis, it displays the history of time, and far beyond our reach, and with each shade and hue, it is so glorious in natures splendour, as the light transcends anew, and far over the horizon into infinity it travels, with all of nature’s subtleties, […]

Aura

You had an aura about you, you had an aura it is true, and you radiated a presence and you, you came across as strong and you were gentle too. Yes, you had an aura about you, and you always knew, you always knew what to do, and you always picked the right words that […]

Audacious

Audacious, as audacious as can be, oh, the audacity of time how it sneaks up on me, and how fleeting it is and not how I wish it to be, time, audacious, as audacious as can be, for it never hesitates and it disappears into the air, leaving you wondering how it has gone so […]

Au revoir

At the end of the night

At the end of the night, fireworks in the sky, and loud noises far away from the dogs inside, the dogs who still bark in fright, whilst we stand and stare outside, while they are inside and mildly terrified, yes, oh, it is a conflicting emotion, the tradition that we inflict upon them, and the […]

At the end of the day

At the end of the day, do not take this the wrong way, at the end of the day, you stay on your side, and I will stay on mine, for you wriggle like you have been electrified, you wriggle like you have been electrified in bed, in the evening time, and I cannot get […]

Asterisks, commas, and full stops

Asterisks, commas, and full stops, exclamation marks, apostrophes, quotation marks, semi-colons, oh, we are an expressive lot, yes, we are an expressive lot, and how we seem, more and more capable these days, to express ourselves, in shorter and shorter ways, and we abbreviate more than ever, we abbreviate more than ever, for we have […]

Ashen

Ashen and gaunt, you look like you have seen a ghost who has come to haunt, yes, you are as white as a sheet, and frightened by what I am not sure, by what I am not sure, but you look ashen and gaunt, and you have tears in your eyes, but from whence did […]
