it's quiet as cat's feet
silent as smoke
glides like a whisper
and tethers to your throat
stronger than ocean gusts
with the force of chilly gales
enough to rock your bridges
and take ind from your sails
feels sometimes like
cannonballs to the chest
or a petrifying of the heart
other times like
a rocket towards the moon
or a night spent under stars
whatever it is
whoever it's for
I know ones who have fled
and others who open the door
patience is a virtue
but what an arduous task
want not to wait for nothing
than to leave just as fast
lie still over grass
sigh as tenacity wears thin
conceding to failure
whatever you want, you win.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
