Jodie Hardy Poems

You wear it like an old black cloak
It smothers the light within.
Wherever you go, it's always there
Keeping out the good people bring.
...

There it stands
Never moving less the wind blows
In my mind it stands tall and strong
A visual marker of the time since you passed
...

Your eyes glistening as does the ocean on a summer's day
Rain falls around us, you enfold me in your leather coat
Time stops as you hold me in your arms and time stops
Ten years or so have passed and here we are still
...

The road is long and I am weak
I get swept off my feet
There is a wave it carries me
I feel strong now I believe
...

Not very far away from the town
Just away from the hustle of the high street
I sit in my favourite spot beside the canal
It's so peaceful still there is pleanty to see
...

You are young, the world lies at your feet
All you are missing is a sense of belief
Anything you covet anywhere you want to go
Is within your reach, Just choose the road
...

My heart stops...
Then speeds away faster than a bullet from a gun
Ringing, beating pounding through me like screams of terror
Paralysed by panic and lost in time all consuming fear blinds me
...

Pen to paper, thumb to keypad
Stream of consciousness
It's been a while since I've done that
So long I've forgotten where to start.
...

Where do I go when I disappear
When my memory fails
When my eyes are blank though wide as a cold winters full moon;
Just as all-seeing and unfeeling.
...

My mind is full
all the way to the top
Words are waiting
waiting to drop
...
