I saw you and wanted to say hello
But instead I looked the other way
I longed for you to greet me by name
But all we did was pass each other by

Intensity
Heat like a burning iron
Seared through my heart
Scorching the soft flesh –
The intensity of which
Left me begging for mercy
My unwiped tears left to
Dry themselves away
It has been suggested that I am “too intense”
I have no idea how to be less intense
And whether I should even try
But I guess being less intense could be more fun
How does one go about being less intense?
One Step Forward
One step forward
To heaven
One step forward
To home
Lead me Lord
Wherever my
Wandering wings
May roam
Completing Me
I sent a few words
Wondering if they would merely be
Returned to sender
You added your words
Turning incompleteness complete
And sent them to me
Happy Mother’s Day
A little hand
Found it’s way into another
A child and her mother
And I felt safe
Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers today, you make the world a safer place xo
Nature
Taken with my iPhone 5
Greens and blues and brown and black
Whites and greys and shades of bright
Nature’s force is on display
In trees and leaves and birds and bees
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Forces of Nature.”
Depression
Pluck me from my life
And fly me far away from here
From all my daily strife
I’d rather be unknown
I’d rather sleep alone
In my nightly dreams remain
Than everyday to feel
This lifelong endless pain
Family Ties
I have a sister far away
Bound by blood and love
We said goodbye
We kissed and hugged and waved
And then we parted and
Moved away
Closed Book
You have no idea what lays behind the mask I wear
You wear a mask
You do not show
The man you are
I could not know
The man you are
Remove the mask
Reveal the soul
Behind those eyes
Or stay hiding
If that is
Your choice
Feeling Sad
Missing my mum
Missing my dad
Missing a life I no longer have
Feeling sad
Missing my family
Missing my home
Missing lives that no longer live
Feeling alone
