Space

Space
The vast unknown,
Between two emotions,
The distance from A to B,
The mind,
The heart,
The pain,
From loss to gain,
Failure,
Achievement,
Accomplishment,
Life and death,
The connection of void and fulfillment,
Knowledge and understanding,
The barrier between two souls,
The alpha and omega,
The question [...]


Palms Of Life

Palms Of Life.
Written by Chad St James
Copyright© 2011

Lines cross my palms weaving a pattern of history,
They’ve felt love openly and closed with heartbreak,
They’ve clapped with achievement and clenched with frustration,
They’ve patted with admiration and pointed in disapproval,
They’ve tenderly touched and roughly clasped,
They’ve been scarred and overtime healed,
They’ve waved away the past, embraced the present and await [...]

Plucking Daisies.

daisy petals

 

He loves me
With each petal that I pull from within the confines of my mind 
He loves me not
The more confusion plagues me
He loves me
My heart is a daisy with endless petals,
That continually takes me around in circles
He loves me not
Do I stop plucking?
He loves me
I hesitate briefly and pull off another petal
He loves [...]

Windmill Desperation.

Windmill Desperation

Windmill Desperation.
Written by Chad St James

The night coldness bites against my skin. I adjust the zip on my jacket to shield from the wind. I look up at the wind mill. The spot lights around it base are out of action. They do not look like they have fulfilled their function in quite a while. I once heard that the wind mill was built in the eighteen hundreds by convicts.

All though I shall miss my comfort zone, I’m filled with excitement, a new beginning. Continue reading
