Chagrin

cause and effect

you said

you lied

*

reason ran away,

belief was buried

in a grave

unmarked,

lost

tiny footsteps

tap, tap, tap,

walked through the walls

of my small armoury

and

I

surrendered

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

  1. So beautiful. So much conveyed here. Tiny footsteps walked through the walls of my small armoury. Lovely.

  6. Many has been the time I chose to harden my heart forever, but then I hear those small innocent footsteps and as much as I wish not to, I too will open my heart. Fortunatly, my armoury is not yet an inpenatrable fortress.

  8. Very creative and imaginative way of expressing yourself. A very sad poem as well. Betrayal, no matter how it comes, is always a painful experience.
