Grace .
When you are at your weakest that is when
you need to be superwoman or superman
and battle away .
One day you don’t feel so bad and that’s coz
you tried . I think people are mostly magic ✨for being who they are . Life can be hard and most times nobody says how they feel.
I mean you don’t want to be the odd one .
Life can be pretending yes I am fine . You got your
pink pop lipstick on or your precious jewels but you
can’t smile and mean it .
We are all bloody mad if you ask me some of the time .

Sparkle
Finding yourself again with a strangers smile and a hello.
That hit the hidden sweet spot.
The one where kindness grows a bit of chicken soup for your soul.
I love your outfit love your hair your eyes they reflect your life an aqua sea of time but you know I see that twinkle even after the precariousness and unpredictability of storms.
Those waves can rock your bottom and make it feel top.
You are awesome you know wherever you think you are at or how your boat has been rocked.
I love how you are thoughtful even when you feel awful. Do...

Scotch on the Rocks .
She does not know she is the drinks before the last drink the ones for the road. You had been drinking pints of beer the trusty old routine solid to familiar.
You know the taste smell texture the consistency needed to get out of your mind.Leave behind your mundane life at the door with every drop of nectar.
It is not enough the more your relationship has
matured you do not come so easily its lost its magic so you physically need another one.
You flick the switch to scotch on the rocks. It kicks you alive as it slides down your throat.
It is dark mysterious...

FLOOD GATE.
SOMETIMES THE SADNESS IS LIKE A
FLOOD GATE . ONCE IT IS OPEN
EVERYTHING IS DECIMATED WITH THIS ACHE .
IT IS A TIDAL WAVE RUSHING IN TO FILL
UP THE CRACKS AND YOU ARE SOAKED.
YOU ARE COLD TOO AND YOU SHAKE .
THAT IS WHAT GRIEF CAN DO IT TAKES
YOU BY SURPRISE AND WITH A
FEROCITY THAT BITES THROUGH
BONES AND EVERY SINEW OF YOU
AND YOU WAIT QUIETLY FOR YOUR
INSIDES NOT TO BREAK .
AND YOU BITE DOWN HARD ON YOUR LIP TO STIFLE THE CRY OF FEELINGS YOU DON'T LIKE • YOU PRAY FOR A MIRACLE THAT YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF EVERY...

WHEN LOVE CAME TO TOWN.
Love is not for scared lost people.They think.
Never again but hope sits on the window pane.
It is definitely not jumping out the window it waits in every waking day.
For the scared for the lost and lonely for all the if only.
And one day it walks in unexpectedly.
Drenched wet and disgruntled and looking a bit frazzled.
It is not perfection and carries a few scars a bit like your own but it doesn't care.
It just wants you as you are. Your fears and all your tears and insecurities.
It doesn't see an age or greying hair or anything you...

POGO STICK.
People think they know her
They see a face blue eyes and
half a smile in peach Melba
lipstick.
They don’t see her with all her
internal drawers from the whispers
of her curly locks of hair to her two
tone mod shoes . With a buckle on
show in a silvery wistful way .
She is invisible to most which makes
her feel like a ghost in life but it is
better to remain a mystery. Maybe
she is murder she wrote of the true
detective but she won’t give you any
clues .

FACE
The many dimensions and aspects of a face of the human kind
Walking a path than can trip you at times when the terrain is the nitty gritty stuff. Rocks instead of grass and you fall on your arse and sink down past tree roots and shoots of daffodils that felt like hope.
You are on a downward trajectory and you feel that life has choked out all your funny quips and jokes and smoothed your laughter lines but left an anxiety riddled complexion and a nervous tic and a mind jacked on steroids flexing the muscles of ruminating.
It has left you feeling like you are...

Unconditional Love.
It's sunshine in the winter just touching your face momentarily it's happiness based on no bail conditions. It's believing you are everything
you want to be and more. It's being one hundred percent real as you are and unaware that's a rare occurrence.
Its love in its most free and altruistic form.
Go on now walk tall.

Sunflowers
Take me back to a place where I thought
only good things grew like sunflowers
bursting with colour and hope.
Positivity and light looking to crack out
the happiness from their roots to their
petals of vibrancy all yellow and mellow.
For no reason coz that felt like it.
Life in its purest form.
All it took was raindrops and the sun
and some storms that they weathered still
standing tall . They didn't make anyone
feel less or more. They just grew despite it all .

Loving Kind .
Sometimes I stack beautiful memories in my mind for the days my heart falls behind, and my eyes fill with tears. If I feel like my life is being unkind.
In thoughts like your best days are over have been for a while.
I sit with tea cupped in my hands and I float to another land.Where I am laughing so much because of a joke and the love of having people around me.Or looking at a text that ends with a heart and a smiley face.
Or the time an unexpected kindness made the world feel less cold.These are all my treasure troves the trinkets I put on when life is being directed by...

TIME
After making her fall to her knees
Ignoring her just coz you could
It doesn’t feel very nice it slowly
cuts her up . Her self esteem is
dissected just because she felt
to much . Now after her heart
ended up in her feet and her
mind had jogged round the block
a few times chasing dreams and
the elusive why? . She ended up
exhausted and now she has the
energy for only thinking about
herself . Your name fading
amongst the pain and your face
a shadow she can’t see your eyes
anymore. With suffering comes...

QUIET.
Funny she cannot find the words to convey how she feels. She is normally a nonstop talking machine you would have to pay her a hefty sum to just shut up.
She makes recounting an event into a feature film arms waving eyes bright and her vocabulary quick fire but articulate. Nothing is left behind every minuscule detail displayed as if on a counter of a jewellery shop. Where the gems twinkle and entice you in.
Now she is silent most days cannot even concentrate on her most beloved poems or books. Nothing has the hook to ignite her imagination and stoke the fire of...
