Naomi C Kenny, a degree holder in Business & Arts…
You crafted a heart out of this chest
of mine.
The skin was made up of dirt and ideas,
the emotions of water that ran through.
The myths surrounding such a place are real,
there they pick the ageing world apart.
Toes curl as they cling onto the world beneath,
trying to retain some grasp of reality.
keeping promises and secrets intact.
Walking on iced oceans,
wishing that they don’t break,
on my way to you.
