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
Flashback Friday
In the absence of something
I’ve got nothing
Except the question
How do I fix my life?
Let’s get the party started
Small World
My days are your nights
When I fall asleep
You awake
While I am wrapped up
From the cold
You are warm
I read your words
And you read mine
We are worlds away
But very near
❤️
Echoes of You
I saw your baby girl today
Playing in the park
With her sparkling eyes
And dimpling smile
An echo of you
The pain surging through me
Cruelly reminded me
How far away I am
From being over you
Dead Night
I woke up
Alone and cold
With the torment
Of your eyes
Appealing to my
Unguarded senses
No escape
Even in the dead
Of the night
