Creative Meanderings

These are a couple of poems I wrote for the Emirates Literary Group Abu Dhabi that I went to last month, but am skipping this month as I’m totally wiped out today….

They don’t have titles at the moment other than “October Blues”.

If you are always right
And I am always wrong,
Then why do we fight?

With all your tendencies
Towards arrogance, hypocrisy and idiocy,
Why won’t you just see?

Perhaps, just possibly,
You might be wrong –
But, no, how could that be?

From the outside,
It shines like a new coin.

From the outside,
It runs like a well-oiled machine.

From the outside,
Everyone smiles.

From the outside,
Everyone is your friend.

Unfortunately, the inside is never
Quite what it seems,

From the outside.

Deep in my gut is where I feel it
Deep in my soul is where I know it
Deep in my heart is where I keep it

This feeling
This connection
This love

When I’m with you
The world slows down

When I’m with you
The air feels lighter

When I’m with you
The darkness fades away

Into the laughter
Into the joy
Into the peacefulness

Of this feeling
Of this connection
Of this love
