I gave you flowers once
When you were sick and the world thought you might die
You never died but your memory went
Leaving no remembrance of what ever happened
I wasn’t sick
So my memory stayed
And I remember
Tag loss
Where Are You?
Will I hear
Your voice again
Will I see
Your face once more
Will I look
Into your eyes so blue
Will I feel
Your arms so strong
Will I know
Your presence near
Will I ever
See you again
Will we always
Be apart?
Gone
The joy I felt
When you came into my life
Was nothing compared to
The pain I felt
When you left
In the darkness
I remember times we shared
You were here
And now you are gone
It cuts through me –
A hole in my soul
Premonition
I dreamt my mother was drowning
She was already dead
I dreamt my mother was sinking
I tried to grab her head
I dreamt my mother was dying
I felt my panic rise
I dreamt I couldn’t save her
I woke to lonely cries
Feather in the Wind
You were taken from me
Suddenly
One moment you were in my life
And the next
You were gone
Leaving me to cherish each dream
When I see you again
Always reaching
Never quite touching
At night when I’m alone
I can hear your voice
I can feel your spirit
And know that you are near
You are alive
For a moment
And then you are gone
Carried away
Like a light
Feather
In the wind
Unrequited
I loved you
For all the wrong reasons
I loved you perhaps
For the very reason that
I couldn’t have you
You would never be mine
I loved you because
You were so different
To those I had loved before
I loved you mostly
Because my heart overruled
I love you now
If only because
My heart still does
Delicate Threads
I used to think we were special
I used to think we were love
I used to think my dreams had come true
I used to think my prayers had been heard
But now I’ve learnt
My thoughts were just like threads of a spider’s web
Glistening in the sun
But as soon as it is touched
The magic that created it
Vaporises
Leaving the delicate threads
To disperse
As if nothing
Was ever there
Heartsore
My heart is sore
I want to say hello
Send a note
Wish you well
But more than that
I wish you would say hello
Send a note
Wish me well
Our eyes meet
Briefly
And I cannot make you
Do anything
At all
Swept Up
We found each other
One night so many moons ago
I ran through the city
I ran to you
My friend, my lover, my strength
I ran into your arms
And without saying a word
We loved
The last time I felt your lips
Your strong arms lifting me off my feet
I never wanted to leave
I never wanted you to leave
But you placed me back down
Gently
Finally
Firmly
And left
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
