Eyes
Eyes answer all
look deeply
the smile does not reach them
try fool the world around
but turmoil lies beneath
the soul mourns
the heart is sad (more…)
My Son
Small hand explores my face
Tiny finger brushes my lashes
Soft child’s breath on my cheek
As we lie side by side
Your smile melts my heart
Undeniable similarity, yet worlds apart
So much him, and yet all your own. (more…)
Questions
Will my soul soar again,
above the shadow clouds?
Does one wake from this cold?
The journey through the dark seems unending
A fragile whisper – almost dawn
the heart must believe in light yet unseen.

Hope
Hope raised its deceitful ugly head
It opened a securely guarded heart
A ray of light illuminates the dream held deep within
And for a fleeting moment you see that dream
in all its Technicolor mesmerizing beauty
Love
What colour is love?
is it pink and red and pretty?
or is it kaleidoscope of light and dark, multifaceted, sometimes just a translucent glow
What does love sound like?
is it beautiful words, a sigh, a low passionate moan?
or is it the sound of a quickening heart
What does love taste like?
is it sweet and sensual like ripe strawberries?
or is it the moment you and I blend (more…)
I Will Wait
In silent depths
At the edge of a promise
my soul must rest
learning the art of solitude
let the sadness be,
walk, lie, rise with it.
The fragile whisper of tomorrow.

Sally-Jane Cameron: Writer
“Life is more fun with pink hair. I am newly re-single mom of 2 great kids. I write because I have to, it is a way for me to eloquently and most of the time not so eloquently deal with all the emotions that come with landing up on a path in life that is so different from what I ever imagined. The poetry came quite by accident when I unpacked my fridge magnets, and before I knew it there was a poem on the fridge. I swear it wrote itself.”
