Setting you free

Frozen, Jaded, Brittle and Broken
You found me
Breathed life into my lips
And warmth into my soul
Until you kindled a raging fire
That melted the ice within
And led to a warm glow
That suffused my pallid heart
And gave me a brand new start
Now, nothing can ever tear us apart
Not labels, not society
Nor unnamed fears
Or jealous tears
For once we’ve realised what we’ve found
Is precious and rare
Why would we subject it to the world’s stares
Nameless we may remain
But bound in spirit
Free to roam
Wherever we wish
I would never want to see you cry
Or writhe in pain and agony
For life is wondrous and beautiful
When love is truly set free

Or #mansplaining No one cares about your feelings! When blood spatters On the inside of your TV screen You close your eyes and scream But there are millions of human beings Slaughtered every day And what about animals? Where do I begin? What is the definition of an animal anyway? A little lamb gamboling on your garden? Or a terrorist dropping bombs on innocent civilians? #YouDecide Once you make up your mind That there’s sickness that’s rife The question will arise What can you do to create change? It’s more than a hashtag ...

Writing Poetry

Writing does calm me I tend to get so emotional My heart is like glass It breaks if there's a high decibel Inside my head or in the vicinity My hate for the human race Does abate No thanks to any 'human' Instead to the word, written It's like a blessing from a sentient being That falls upon my ears From deep within

Glasses tinted blue

They always talk about rose-tinted glasses That place the blame squarely on 'you' What people underestimate Are the blue-tinted ones Placed by someone else on you That obscure your view of the world And make sadness true for you I tweeted this poem to @ RealisticPoetry  in response to a picture prompt.
