tess fielders

Too sad to say what lies beneath
Her smile a customary coat

Covering sundry hidden hurts
...

Childhood sees between the cracks
Blocks of lies the adults plant
Distracting people from their deeds
...

Concentric circles spinning to central rage
fomented and fed with every glance
Hostile bigotry condemning
without cause.
...

dangerous mould invading terrain
not his but stolen
sequestered acquired for gain
...

smash the chains that bind my life
steal my thoughts
I’m not your wife!

GROOMING

‘I think you’re pretty, little girl
and I’d be friends with you

SILENT SCREAM WITHIN

Looking, checking, waiting, void
Silent scream within
...

CARNAGE OF SOUL

Fog lifts
slowly awfully
...

WAITING FOR AEONS

tears on window-pane
unrelenting mocking
...

Shaken woman lying curled upon the corner
of the room
Mundane things strewn about on
pristine floor
...

daddy I wuv u
thwee fingars tawll
tho you hate mummy
making her fawll
...

BEYOND THE WALL

They’re laughing blithely unaware
just a wall away
...

You Lost!

You thought that if you routed me
from moment I was born
...

FORCED ALLIANCE

Pain Rage
Sadness Madness
...

HIS DUE?

Want fills the being
until nothing else matters
...

NEVER FREE

Drifting loose tattered streamer in wind
Not remembering
...

SCRAPING GUT

Scraping gut
for cells that stayed
...

DISSOLVED

Languishing in feast supplied
Never to see it bare
...

HELLO AGAIN

Hello again
