A collection of poetry that revolves around my surroundings, perspective, and feelings. Some of them rhyme and others don’t.

"It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream." – Bern Williams.

Below the Surface

Below the surface I remain unconscious,

Steady breaths that drown the noise,

Milly O 27/09/2023 Milly O 27/09/2023

The words that churn and mingle within,

I twist and turn but have to say it,

Milly O 25/09/2023 Milly O 25/09/2023

Days start and end the same,

In between a coloured glaze,

Milly O 24/09/2023 Milly O 24/09/2023

I need to take myself slowly,

I'm drowning in a sea of self-despair,

Milly O 22/09/2023 Milly O 22/09/2023

Take the bull by the horns,

Be vulnerable be weak,

Milly O 20/09/2023 Milly O 20/09/2023

Love is the answer and my prayer,

I search to no avail,

Milly O 18/09/2023 Milly O 18/09/2023

Love that changes who I am,

A peace that envelops my conscious being,

Milly O 17/09/2023 Milly O 17/09/2023

Like a stagnant log that doesn't move an inch,

In this dense forest that light barely penetrates,

Milly O 15/09/2023 Milly O 15/09/2023

Constant banging and dreams of longing,

The unending desires to pick up anything,
