Reflection

I walked away

I walked away before I could speak another word

I wanted to love you so bad

I wanted to beat my heart into forced submission

Into a first love forever

NOTHINGS FOREVER the cynic in me yells

The sun rises every day and plasters my skin with its paint

I glance in the mirror and recoil

It’s still me, I recognise my spirit

I loved you once

I’ll always love the time we shared

I remember those potatoes you peeled

And cooked

And served

With salt and herbata

The sugar bowl in water to prevent the ants from reaching inside

I remember Home Alone 2

And laughing on the floor

With splitting sides

All those moments we shared.

My Child

I was there

I was aware

A spark lit up

And I knew

Ohh I knew alright

My heart would never be mine

Again

You will never know

You could never understand

How you own my

Heart

How could you

Understand?

Stronger

I’m feeling stronger

I cannot say why

I want a reason

To try and explain

But every day

Of every struggle that’s past

I’ve been through the wringer

It’s over at last

We have our poetry

Songs of our heart

And upward we look

And onward we march.

Velvet Rose

One by one

Each leaf unfurls

Invoking the richness of 

Scents that reveal the ancient

Secret of the Rose –

Forgotten tomorrow

Unborn yesterday

Today is captured

Until it stealthily

Fades away.

Piano Man

Easy on the eye

Not gonna lie

Your fingers caress the keys

As my eyes caress your face from

Afar but close enough

To feel your warmth and

Bask in the music flowing

Forth

Your voice is butter

I cannot help but

Melt into the night as brief

Hours flow by and short

Minutes tick by

And I

Never want the song to

End.

Play my songs for me!

Mr Piano Man.

Please play my song.

Full Stop

Life is short we always hear

But these darn nights are hard to bear

I said goodbye you said yours too

My heart was twisted for I knew

Our kisses had finished, one final look –

A single full stop to close the book

.

Your Child

There are so many moments I could never recall

Your voice I heard from your womb

Your touch I felt from my first morn

Bound together with our invisible cord

But that last night, that last drive, that last time

I heard your voice, I felt your touch

I will never forget, it will never be gone –

For as long as I live

As long as I breathe

I am your child

I recall it all
