Phen Weston QUOTES

1 " Today words curve around my vision,
Stumbling from my parched core
To soak again those strands of silence. "

2 " Writing is life – it’s where my heart leads me each day, and how I understand the world we live in. "

― Phen Weston

3 " What is the measure of life
But the distance travelled
From womb to catacomb,
Does the ever after take account? "

― Phen Weston , Nothing But The Rain: A Collection of Poems

4 " Emerald leaves crossed our paths
with veracity marked in golden drafts,
somewhere deep amid the pending vapours
of humility and dance,
did we dance across the skies? "

― Phen Weston

5 " I wondered where those roads, in which the world diverged,
became the promises of another life,
the hilly embankment that touched the horizon in
tranquil virescent spikes, splattered with hazel lines,
that conquered truth and candour. "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

6 " I remember your shadow― those faded lines
between the cracking clouds above― strained
in hues of solitude― a simple kiss― against
the night we forced among the stars― locked
into places fashioned from old snapshots― "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

7 " The night, cold and silent,
Held a warmth and sound
That echoed through my thoughts.
It wasn’t deafening as it crashed
All around, only mildly amusing.
The shadows devoured the light
Which gracefully enhanced
Their deep rich darkness.
The world circled and danced,
Leapt and ran, swimming
Throughout the witching hour. "

― Phen Weston

8 " Fly away,” sang little lark to the crow,
“There is no home for you
Among the broken promises and empty hearts. We drew
the life we never mourned, away with fading dark.
Your wings are fashioned from the cold, mindless lies
of feathers tarred with pitch! "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

9 " Remember me
when faded illumination
transcends my name-
Remarks are heard
with beating silence
and I am born
on tranquil starlight- "

― Phen Weston

10 " The Tuesday Seamstress said
our souls were sewn apart.
Delicate embroidered tomorrows
travelled without a start. "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

11 " I was misplaced air
that cradled all around you,
held to cobalt skies
to shelter your fledgling wings. "

― Phen Weston , The Silent Balance: A Collection of Waka Poetry

12 " What sanctuary is there in indulging the whims of falling stars? "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

13 " The last of us fell
between the concrete fractures
and steel memories of life.
Nature gave the lot
and we took with our eyes closed
until nobody remained. "

― Phen Weston , The Silent Balance: A Collection of Waka Poetry

14 " Was it privilege to love you?
Painted hues of viridescent lives
to those lost seconds when we saw
the world begin again in strides. "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

15 " Pixelated images
Dance across the carpet,
Perhaps today
Will wish the world anew... "

― Phen Weston , Nothing But The Rain: A Collection of Poems

16 " If I could count the infinity of you
I’d place each second within your soul,
and lay my breath between the stars
that form your heart and whole. "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

17 " The wind took me away from you,
Draped with fear, waking nightmare,
I lost all sense of who I could become,
Your exuberant hold slipped away,
Irresolute, impulsive, irreconcilable. "

― Phen Weston , Nothing But The Rain: A Collection of Poems

18 " Can you see me― floating among
those star fuelled dreams― stripped
back to atoms across the night
sky in iridescent tones― of nimble highs― "

― Phen Weston , Under the Rose

19 " I keep your soul
In my ageing wallet,
The unimportant stuff
(Money, cards, coins)
Stay loose in my pocket,
A place as fickle as they. "

― Phen Weston , Nothing But The Rain: A Collection of Poems

20 " Now I am free,
the lord of evermore hopes,
amid kingdoms lit
by azure fires, absolute
in self-remembered fortune "

― Phen Weston , The Silent Balance: A Collection of Waka Poetry
