I want to go home
Take me back to my childhood home
Where the air hits your lungs and the noise fills your head
Let me bask in the warmth of family love
The familiar life and the easy acceptance
Where everyone sounds like me and I can understand them
And I get the nuances and sarcasm the little jokes
Someplace that I can grow old surrounded by peace
And I can look at the fields and flowers and old stone walls
And muse where one day where I would like to be scattered
I’ve had my adventure I’ve seen somewhere new
Now I just want to go home
Where the air hits your lungs and the noise fills your head
Let me bask in the warmth of family love
The familiar life and the easy acceptance
Where everyone sounds like me and I can understand them
And I get the nuances and sarcasm the little jokes
Someplace that I can grow old surrounded by peace
And I can look at the fields and flowers and old stone walls
And muse where one day where I would like to be scattered
I’ve had my adventure I’ve seen somewhere new
Now I just want to go home

Tomorrow
You cannot keep the love that was never yours
the waves of despair will fade and blur
You were not abandoned you were released
and you will come to see the path that is yours
If he was the one he would not have abandoned you .
You were a placeholder until something he wanted more came along
And that my dear is ok
So see it as a blessing, you are free now, to new opportunities
Released from the path that would lead to misery
So accept and turn away,
Let him buy the love that is doomed for failure
The transactional, strategic stabs at...

Speaking the Lingo
All the bits and bobs
That cross my space
The dilly dalliance sidesteps
Are the key to my truth
The wafting breeze
to decipher my thoughts
And give shape to my language
I’m well jel of your enunciation
Your cut glass echo
We are like chalk and cheese
But the similarities bubble
We have a shared culture
A lovely jubbly hotchpotch
Of history and experiences
That bind us to our motherland
and let us mooch around at leisure
Exploring our love of the slang
Our secret code for where we came from,

The Loss
The loss of a pet
hits harder than you expect
when that little soul departs
for the rainbow hill in the sky
you are left with an emptiness
a pain like nothing you have experienced.
An ache so intense
it creates a void in your heart.
But as the days pass
memories start to patch it up
and eventually the chasm becomes a hole.
Stuffed with beautiful comforting moments.
When you remember how intensely they loved you,
how they were a part of your family
as surely as humans are.

Heavens Bean Pot
I strive to be productive
I aim to be busy
I need to be kind
I want to spread happiness
I will nurture my children
I can provide a safe loving space
I notice the lonely
I reach out to the sad
I will be the best version
I shall not give up
I am your port in a stormy sea
I relish the challenge
I confront adversaries
I celebrate your victories
I cry alongside you
I am filling my heavens bean pot
I hope when the time comes
Those gates will open.

Retail Therapy
A little bit of shopping
Is the solution to my anxiety
A shiny new necklace
The answer to my despair
I love the thrill of the search
The hunt, the chase, the purchase
My closet is brimming with happiness
My home decorated with finds
The once in a moment discoveries
That proudly sit in my spaces
I don’t need someone to talk to
I just need my credit card
And a couple of hours of me time
And this is why
Women are the stronger sex
We have remedies to life’s problems
We can fix ourselves
We can shop!
Is the solution to my anxiety

The Blue Umbrella
The blue umbrella
Such a pretty sight
Keeps the rain from my face
But my body gets soaked
The blue umbrella
So practical and smart
Weaves in and out of the city streets
Keeping me anonymous
The blue umbrella
Pushed into the sand
My solution for shady sunbathing
My little space on the beach
The blue umbrella
The little hands that hold me
Not keeping me dry
But my accessory for play
The blue umbrella
My trusted friend
Sits in the corner
Waiting for our next...

The Therapists Lament - being perfect people
They tell me their stories
Their troubles and their nightmares
I listen and analyze, I’m their friend for a session
I nod and my face concentrates
While they describe their struggles
I am the perfect, non judgmental professional
I sometimes guide but mostly I give space
Most humans know what they need to do
To be their best selves
But they pay good money
For my degree to collaborate
Their most private struggles
I am so grateful they cannot see
That I am a mess
Yes you read that right
My life is a shitshow ...
Their troubles and their nightmares
I listen and analyze, I’m their friend for a session

While they describe their struggles
I am the perfect, non judgmental professional
I sometimes guide but mostly I give space
Most humans know what they need to do
To be their best selves
But they pay good money
For my degree to collaborate
Their most private struggles
I am so grateful they cannot see
That I am a mess
Yes you read that right
My life is a shitshow ...

Double Standards
The sheer audacity of your complaint
Leaves me astounded and incensed
Because you flirted and dated and wooed
All the pretty party girls in the South of France
You bankrolled the girlfriend experience
To prop up your inadequacies
And you thought we didn’t see
But there is nothing more cunning
And no one more equipped
Than a woman and her friends fighting for the truth
We saw , we gave the benefit of the doubt
Because we trusted in the process
We believed in the long game
And we protected and insured my heart
But...

An old soul
When I look back on my life
What will I have learned
I know to trust my instincts
And to have faith in my intuition
Because all of those little niggles
were my warning signs to heed to take care
And in the case of my heartbreaks
I could have avoided and dodged the misery
But I also learned
That I was meant to have those experiences
Because each and every one
Prepared me to help my children
With their own setbacks, their disappointments
I was able to comfort, guide and advise
So gradually I learned
That...

The Journey
The joyful optimism
Of a life full of possibilities
Knowing I can explore each avenue
And enter doors that hold promise
The sweet smell of hope
Lingers like a spring blossom bloom
Heady and sweet
I am on the cusp of something monumental
And the anticipation is palpable
The unknown is beckoning me
Seducing and courting me
I am excited and anxious
Waiting for my journey to begin
This is what matters
This is living
Let’s go
Of a life full of possibilities
Knowing I can explore each avenue
And enter doors that hold promise
The sweet smell of hope
Lingers like a spring blossom bloom
Heady and sweet
I am on the cusp of something monumental
And the anticipation is palpable
The unknown is beckoning me
Seducing and courting me
I am excited and anxious
Waiting for my journey to begin
This is what matters
This is living
Let’s go

I see you
I see you now
How you hid your cheating heart
Behind a flurry of complicated syndromes
Convinced me that you were ill, damaged, wretched,
But it was a ruse, a cover
So you could dilly dally with all the pretty things that came your way
So you could take that power trip without hurdles,
Have your fragile ego stroked
While I sat and waited and loved from afar
And cared about how damaged you were
And sympathized how your life had molded you
What an awful hand in life you had been dealt
That I was lucky to...
