Words not said
No need
She felt his happiness

he sensed her pain

Just a glance

No more

She saw his anguish

he witnessed her joy

Two minds joined

As one

He was her soul mate

she his inspiration

a fine line

There’s a very fine line

between friendship and love

But how do you know

if you’re below or above?

A brush of a hand

Her breath on your cheek

When she looks in your eyes

Does your heart miss a beat?

I’ve crossed that line

I wonder if she

Feels some of the magic

That’s happened to me?

distance

He looked from afar
not knowing whether or not

she felt the same

She glanced from a distance
afraid to reveal
her feelings within

It was meant to be

but

It never was

he loves me, he loves me not

She holds a daisy in her hand

he loves me, he loves me not

Scattering petals to the wind

he loves me, he loves me not
I watch scarcely daring to breath

he loves me, he loves me not

then slowly walk towards her

he loves me, he loves me not
She plucks the last petal

he loves you

I say

the room

She sits alone

in an empty room

filled with happy memories

A quiet room

but for the echoes

of merry laughter past

Time to leave

so sad to go

For she was happy there.

The beach looks different today

Let me read it to you

The beach looks different today

The sea the sky the waves are grey

Pebbles now are hid from sight

The shore a sheet of dazzling white

I hear a laugh I see a child

throwing snowballs running wild

There a puppy leaping high

chasing snowflakes in the sky

I look around, I love the way

the beach looks different today

anonymous

Slipping in and out of the shadows

hiding in dank doorways

sliding into view when a car appears

Dressed to allure, revealed to tempt

She came here on a promise

from her home overseas

Lured by a job, a flat and a future

Little did she know what awaited her

Concealed at safe distance

her sinister pimp skulks in the shadows

watching his terrified victim

plying his loathsome trade

One day she will disappear

Unknown, anonymous, a number

She will be replaced by another

then another then another and another
