THE MOON ASKED Published: October 24, 2026

The moon asked whom I wait for I named the one I can't forget It asked why tears fall evermore I said she's gone, I love her yet The moon asked why I still remain When she was never mine to hold I said some hearts are born with pain And some loves never grow old The moon fell silent in the sky Then asked what I expected there I said to love her till I die Though she was never mine to care The moon asked what happens when I die I said my love will still remain For even heaven may ask me why I loved a woman who never came

Cookery class Published: October 21, 2026

How I wished I had paid attention, when I was at school, I wasn’t a particularly gifted child, in cookery as a rule. But with my Pinney on, I would have a go and try, To follow the directions, and ingredients I would bye. The instruction given on a list, and equipment neatly laid, Ingredients for my creation, to go towards a grade. But following rules is not in my nature, as all would find out why, When on the opening of the oven, I would take possession of an incinerated pie. And when I make the custard, I would always get it wrong, Its boil

Makup Published: October 20, 2026

All the shades of old desires wear blue makeup tonight, mascara of disillusions for your banished look of blight. And with longing’s faded rouge, fall silent words that sear the lips that never dared to move, to let themselves go near. And now, as though nothing came to pass, your eyes stay cold as glass, two pearls of outlaw pride, ever since the love has died.

Bullet Train Published: October 19, 2026

The train the train of change has arrived a few weeks for it to leave me alone in my room my heart is too slow all is happening to soon and I am bound to never know what the next firework will be or where the bullet will come from to leave me dead in the snow in a country I do not remember going to all alone without my clothes and my books and prized possessions.

A Role I Know by Heart Published: October 08, 2026

One step further. That's all it takes, a step. But towards where? Into my heart, or into my mind? Or into the life of someone I've yet to understand? I'm never sure which way to go, yet always know which way works. A whisper here, a fleeting touch, and suddenly, I'm bound to her soul. But why does my end of the string grow duller with every pull? The words come easy, their weight, less so. I speak as though I mean them, and convince myself I do, until- Every movement feels rehearsed, every feeling, a familiar line. I've played this part so

Real Man Published: August 05, 2026

Rough hands foreign amongst dime, Earned their throne through paths unknown to me. A thin veil which conceals, Like a viper slithering low, shedding its outer layer to what suits him best. My once kind seed, begone with all unwanted ways; she detests. All for nought, yearning for feather-light touches that may never grace. No son of mine is man.
