Scribbled Thoughts

Paint a colour

beyond the silver

that haunts you.

Maybe you can’t see it

but others can,

and they will

sparkle for you.

Deliver a story

in snippets

but one you revisit

again and again

for the comfort

of continuing on

and gaining a little more,

no matter how slow.

Watch your

future goal

topple

and fall,

leaving an empty space

to fill again

or leave

gaping.

You will enjoy true bliss

in whatever you do

proclaims the hardened dough,

but does thst make you selfish

or optimistic?

Do you take it

or can just see it

no matter what?

And why does

the idea bother

me so?

Photo goal

to perch atop

the spinning view

and realise

you protect

everything you see

and can never rest

or stop.

Age a year

and decide if you’ve

improved

in attitude

and ambition.

Are you happy

sat beside the one

now at your side?

Pay respect

to earn my reward,

the heat drops

seven more

and you can

almost remember

how to breathe.

Comfort in closeness

denied

due to overwhelming heat,

find a moment

early and quiet

to sneak in a gap

of cuddles

and reassurance.

Give me

the moisture

and relief

of washing away

my own water.

Open the sky

and end

the oppression.

Fight

to prevent

from melting,

denying light

access

and hoarding

cool air,

all for nothing

when another

opens the door.
