Scribbled Thoughts

20:46

You cannot sing,

that’s a fact,

the sound you produce

is not soothing or

hypnotic. Yet when

you start, I always

stop to listen. That

out of tune hymn,

the too high note,

is comfort to my

world. It signals

you are here, and

relaxed enough to

reveal your flaws.

Perhaps today will

be a duet, my gurgle

bass to your

wavering lead.

20:47

Raid of blue

as you sleep,

unaware of the

chaos so close by.

Sleep on as the

world changes,

wake to find all

security gone.

---

20:48

Security of a thin

layer of wood, blown

from its hinges

with barely a struggle.

Were you ever

really safe?

How do you feel

now, so exposed

to the world?

Look long and hard,

as it forces itself

on you.

20:44

Your physical self

restricts your endless

imagination. Multiple

goals with limited

time. Disabilities and

obstacles plague your

path, with a hand

outstretched that can’t

hold the weight. If

only you could lift

your mind from time

and self, to experience

all the wonder

inside complete satisfaction.

20:45

(Starts about a contagious illness)

Reaching for one last

bone-crushing, love-

defining hug.

Am I selfish enough

to ask it?

Are you desperate enough

to accept it?

20:42

A voice calls out into

the void, expecting

nothing back. Tears

of relief and awe

blur their senses

when a reply is heard.

They’re so overwhelmed

they can’t understand

the words.

---

20:43

The feel of rolls

digging into the resistant

fabric, cutting deep

and leaving angry marks.

20:40

A reunion with the

person I’ve never

seen the face of.

Recognising a voice

I’ve never heard.

Soul speaking to soul,

heart beating with

yours. Speak a

name you shouldn’t

know and fall into

my life.

---

20:41

Build a bridge across

the world, promote

peace and equality.

But its foundation,

dear Earth, is built

with dynamite. While

you panic its impending

explosion, no one wonders

who created, and holds,

the trigger.

20:38

Storm Ciara.

Amber, threat to life.

Danger, stay inside.

Money through working.

Amber, lose your job.

Danger, turn up for shift.

Which threat is greater,

Mother Nature, or

Human Nature?

---

20:39

The house starts

to bleed clear liquid,

forming veins down

the wall, creating

a heartbeat with

the constant drip,

drip, drip.

20:37

After hours, days,

of desperate struggle,

screaming, crying and

rage, there is an

audible click as it

all falls into place.

Combos flow, blocks

timed perfectly, blow

delivered with final fatality.

Learn and connect,

master the timing…

and end that annoying

boss fight.

20:34

Denied the chance

to stand side-by-side,

only allowed yearning

glances from a diagonal

view.

---

20:35

A dull ache so deep

it blossoms into pain.

---

20:36

Unexpected wanderer,

oblivious that its

journey heads towards

death.

20:33

Magic meant to help

you sleep grows

jealous as you

return, as always, to

waking. Each time it

strengthens its hold on

you, coaxing you to

slumber until, one day,

you’ll fail to leave.
