I’m no longer going to update this blog but you can find me here: http://blogpaulandrewrussell.wordpress.com/

he looked at it
standing before him
tall and solid
one man’s work
for what
to contain
repel
he ran his fingers
across the rough
grey surface
stippled like Braille
beneath his skin
leaning back momentarily
he lunged forward
hitting the wall
full force
with his forehead
better to feel something
than nothing

I’d just like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who visited my blog during 2011. I just got my yearly stats report from WordPress and was flattered so many people stopped by to read my words. THANK YOU!

upon the desolate shore

(Yeah, it’s nonsense.)
Is that an I in the sky
looking at me?
Does it C me making a
L of a fool of myself
time after time,
often in rhyme?
Is that U
in the Q
waiting for T
or are you taking the P?
Y ?

lazily hazily
flowing along
tinkling with laughter
singing their song
hurriedly hastily
rushing and running
tumbling over rocks
gushing through locks
softly quietly
whispering on
drifting around bends
familiar friends
the river of words
needs to be heard
the waterfall’s roar
waves crashing on shore
spilling from me
and off out to sea
drops of devotion
pour into the ocean

the light shines
steadily
rhythmically
a heartbeat
in the darkness
illuminating all
momentary day
interminable night
a light
on a rock
ticking clock
lives saved
or waived
the light shines

The old year left
with many dreams
tattered and torn
at the seams.
What the New Year brings
we’ve yet to see,
and wonder what
will come to be.

New Year changes loom
ahead around the corner
rise of twenty twelve
