Clouds of the Congo
Low level flying over The DRC, between Kolwezi and Lubumbashi. All in days work … beautiful storm clouds and the rich colours that I so love …

Absence Divides
clouds roll over the horizon blanketing my mind this dark gray heavy mass unfurled creating an epitaph of confusion despite all the love and protection that enveloped us absence drove a wedge splitting your heart in twain that twisted spear of absence oh how I wish I could turn back and lose myself in you again …. found my world in you lost myself with you now I am lost, alone having lost my world

Bleeding Words
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
