A watering can is nothing
Without the water to fill it

Petal by petal
A soul heals
A beautiful sight
Fragrant emotions
In the air
Finally repair
Despite the despair
That lays down there
It’s only fair
That I’m starting to grow
Out of this nightmare

A tap on my window
Hazel eyes glow
Four taps and I open up
Heal that rotten soul he exclaimed
But when the time came
He left me dangling off the edge of my window sill  
Once he has his fill

A soul so sad
A lonely feather falls
The sea begins to calm
I wipe my tears
The mask slips on
Don’t let them see me cry

Poems are not toothpaste,
you cannot squeeze another from the tube at will,
bend the ends of words for one last drop,
inspiration comes in waves
and when it wants to do so, it will stop,
you cannot pick a constant crop,
there are times when the field lies fallow
hiding seeds which may or may not grow
if and when they flower
that is not for us to know,
poets feed on what they can find
and reap the harvest of a fertile mind

Wish yours for me
Friends too
Please don't assume every womam you see is a Mother or has one
Most in Heaven
Some unknown
Some were unable by no fault of their own
Adoption is not for all
When I am wished,I nod
Happy Auntie's day to me and all the Auntie's out thete

We're all told to be careful
It's been known to break some hearts
In the mad rush to be helpful
The jealousy of love

It'll slip up on you in a frenzy
Ripping out your foolish heart
When you least expect you have the need
The jealousy of love

How many times have you been warned
Far more often than not
And yet here you are back at the door
The jealousy of love

Like a fruit, forbidden you
Bitter to the tongue
As it sits in wait to make its move
The jealousy of love

Caught up in the dilemma
Do you stay or move along
With no one the clear winner
The jealousy of love

Love You

I do, dear heart.
I have no doubt
In my mind

That it has always been you
And only you.

Dear heart.
Listen
To me now.

I am yours
Forever and
Always.
