Desire

Desire is a knife

slicing reason.

Exposing our weakness, 

it lies on the bread board.

Mirrors our vulnerability

I'm Sorry

It was sunny that day,

but the chill in the air stayed still.

Everything seemed dark, our clothes,

our mood.

The car pulled up, black.

Stopped.

There was no bump starting this hearse.

You stepped out in your suit, black.

I didn’t know what to say.

I couldn’t take time back

Your brother followed,

then your mother too.

I didn’t know what to say

to you. 

We gathered inside, silence,

you began that march.

You held him up.

How did you find the strength? 

I didn’t know what to say.

Tear stained faces gathered outside

I squeezed your hand,

I didn’t know what to say.

And now when I see you

your eyes seem to speak

to me.

I see inside your hard exterior.

“I’m sorry.”

School's Out!

Well, I've finally handed in all my work. Friday felt like it would never arrive but I managed to hand in; a 3,000 critical essay, 500 word critical reflection, a lecture by lecture accounted log book and 125 lines of poetry (of which some I shall post some of poetry over the next few days).

     So, I've broken up for Easter and have a six week break ahead of me. Well, I say 'break' but with six books to read and a proposal for my final project to complete, I shan't be short of things to do! I have decided to construct my final project around the great Bob Dylan. With many poems, lyrics, critical works and films to reference, I'm excited to get started on this personal study.

     I plan to spend the next six weeks catching up with family, reading, writing and badgering my Dad for music and tales of Dyaln. I've really enjoyed this past term. I have finally been converted and opened my mind to more modern and abstract poetry. I have written some of my best poetry to date over the past few months. I am now to read; Shakespear's Romeo & Juliet and Twelfth Night, Alice Walker's, The Colour Purple, Austen's, Emma, Pat Barker's, Regeneration and Lorraine Hansbury's, Raisin in the Sun in preparation for next term's film adaptation module.

     Here's to a chocolate, alcohol, family and literature fuelled Easter break!
