A powder pink spring
of impossible blossoms
fell me as they fall.

The man is
not what he seems.
He never was.
But it's fine
because
I respect myself more
than I am led by desire
and this does me
the world of good.

I strive for
equilibrium
as I seek to
conduct myself
in alignment with
some universal maths.

To keep the sprites
from your door,
riddle them this:
why does the moon
hide her face tonight?

as we revolve
around the sun,
can the other
balls of rock
hear the bombs?

Lacquer portrait of Raziyyat-Ud-Dunya Wa Ud-Din, crowned, holding a flower, reclining on a sofa with servants in attendance.

Raziyyat-Ud-Dunya Wa Ud-Din (1205 – 1240), popularly known as Razia Sultan, was the Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate from 1236 until her deposition in 1240. She was the first female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent, and the only female Muslim ruler of Delhi. #CelebratingWomen

I, tempest
look upon sunny days
and am still shaken.
For that is my nature,
I am disruptor
and clearer of the ways.
Behold -
my spring wildness
as the days lengthen
and the storm of change
is only a breath away.

Sometimes I like to
stand in the garden,
ballooning,
as the wind
blows a gale
up my trousers.

Ha ha! Thanks :)

Yes, I will partake
in some tea and cake,
though the world
is careening into
some kind of abyss.
For the sun is smiling
again, despite
everything
and touches
that little voice
in me that hopes
against hope that
all will be well.

Silence of the cosmos with the occasional bang-bang-bang-crash! But I've always got time for bloops and beats.

Beautiful.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 71036:
Writing for a living can be fun. But it isn't fun all the time. That's because it's a job, and a job comes with deadlines, responsbilities, pressure, rejection and stress. If you want your writing to be fun ALL the time, then don't make it your job.

Thank you! 🙂

I bask
in the warmth
of your smile
and momentarily
forget my purpose.

"No one puts Baby in the corner!" I yelled
as a man in hi-vis passed me on the corner
then ran off, terrified.

Some might say
I'm a bonny lass,
but the world gets
only more crazy so
I am in very short supply
of whimsy right now.

It’s always disappointing to finish a book, where it wasn’t terrible enough to stop reading mid-book, but once you’ve finished, it was decidedly not good.

With the lightning strike
of realisation, I see
how the veil is dropped
from the world
and bit by dreadful bit,
the truth
is unearthed.

I am spellbound
by the casual art
of light dancing
on water, showing
me how to be un-
done by a single
holy shaft of sun.

To wake up
and take the pulse of the day -
and if it be less than bountiful
then glean what you need
to make it so.

Did you know?
- certain trees get important nutrients from human bones
- other trees collect souls and trap them in their ring labyrinths
- most trees agree that squirrels are jerks

Thank you! I believe in you too!

What is happening
to the planet? This
velocity of change,
this spiritual overhaul.
Hard, not to be distracted
by the bad and the ugly
when you strive only
to do one tiny
beautiful thing
after another, hoping
to create a ripple.

You chisel
and hone
your stellar-
born soul,
make ready
for revolution.
For everything
exists in spirals,
moves in circles.
Sunrise to moon-
rise, birth to rebirth.

I move in silence
these Payne's grey days, while the moon
wanes and slumbers soft.
A white cat crosses my path.
A stranger smiles knowingly.
