Waiting

He should be home by now.

It is getting dark,

the roads are wet,

he is over due,

not a word.

Why hasn’t he called?

The rain falls menacingly,

tap, tap, tap.

Every noise,

makes you jump

makes your hand shake

makes your heart skip.

You are being silly

you know that.

The doorbell rings.

She's Leaving

Turn and walk away

don't look back or you'll blow it

you know that.

Let the promise

of happiness

take you by the hand.

By Definition

Islam, man?

The moderates denounce the violence,

the militants say they are doing Mohammad's work.

On this they disagree.

But they both know Allah is supreme,

so how could the hate

not be his work.

Regret

It is so true,

it is not the things I do that I regret,

it is the things that I don’t do

that cause me pain.

Be brave.

You have a lot to lose.

Why?

Some people box

some people fly

some people fall down and die

we don't know why?

God

I only see God

when a black woman sings.

Eagles soar effortlessly.

Addiction

There is no such thing as addiction,

just unchecked behaviour

and excuses not to change.
