writing is when you get stabbed and you choose to bleed words out onto the page ..... instead of spilling your blood on the ground bleed through your words ..... stain the pages with your passion and pain

A Conundrum
memories …… to beautiful to forget too painful to remember what to do? …… either way you’re fucked

Awaiting a New Dawn
night runs to day light chases the dark is the pain receding what approaches over the horizon? the time of evening starlight fades the lamps grow dim in the approaching new dawn show me where it hurts? turning westward facing my fading shadow as a new dawn rips it from me splitting me in two what is lost might not be found I feel the void upon my thoughts I contemplate the other side as I wait for .... paradise?

Colours of the Congo
I so do love the bright vibrant colours of The DRC at this time of the year, at the tail end of the rainy season. Dark clouds are still rolling in bringing afternoon and evening thunder storms, the rich greens of the forest and that distinctive red soil of Africa.
Longing
I long for the sound of your voice caressing my cheek your lilting laugh your upturned smile to hear your laughter to laugh with you for you to laugh at me ….. I long for you …….

Broken
not knowing dying a slow death emotions bleeding out lying in an ever widening pool at my feet the stains of my life fade into nothingness

Tunnel of Love
roll up, roll up shouts life as you excitedly queue to enter the tunnel of love what beckons what awaits so much excitement the yawning future sucks you in darkness beckons, engulfs holding on tight to each other and our dreams forevermore distant lights approach eager anticipation unfolds what awaits love, eternal happiness for evermore …… pain, longing, separation forevermore ….. patiently, silently we await the darkness slowly lifts

Pain
pain fast approaches crashing into you ripping all asunder pulling it in close embracing, holding desperately trying to keep all the broken pieces together ....... clinging not ignoring desperately hoping to transform ........ pain to compassion anger into love fear into kindness ....... needing positive energy to sustain through the travails and tempest that assail on this journey

A Question…. ?
A question to comment or ponder on:
How does one engender empathy (and hope) in ones darkest hour? Do we/can we do it (engender empathy) because life is fundamentally amazing, even though (or because), is spite of it all, it has an ending?
