POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Energy speaks volumes
Daily yet more, energies around us
But do we pick, without a fuss
Are we equipped, to see the real
Or find the wrong, take time to heal
To be accepted, or broken down
For what you speak, or how you sound
To feel so damaged, yet misunderstood
To build up foundations, if only we could
To open ourself up, to hurt and pain
To see that others, use that for gain
Just rise up upon that, and see who you are
A person of substance who’s now come so far
They have their own demons, for how long they’ve owned
To see you succeed, their...

Don’t
I feel everything
I’ve always known.
Why?
Why me.
Your stupid they said.
She’s crazy.
She’s mad.
Don’t!
Why are you angry?
Why are you I ask.
Why do you distrust me?
Why are you false.
Why are you sad for?
Why are you pretending.
I am your friend!
No your not.
I’m telling you the truth!
Why are you lying.
She’s crazy they said.
No. She just knows.
There’s the truth.
I feel you…. On the inside.

I spoke about me today
I spoke about me today.
Who am I?
Complex I was asked.
Complicated maybe.
No.
Deep, misunderstood.
No.
Sensitively sponge like.
Like an absorbent cloth that soaks up the very essence of feelings.
A taker of emotions.
A keeper of fear.
A circle of energies that grip my very being.
I can’t go anywhere without a rage of torment rushing through me of fear where the unknown lurks.
Who am I?
Why am I feeling this way?
I feel sad, I feel happy, I feel broken, I feel free, I’m light, I’m dark.
I...

Today she
Today she called me a narcissist
I carried her for nine months
I looked into her tiny face
I loved her
She was my baby
My tiny being I had to protect
My little bundle of joy
My only daughter.
The hate I heard was bitter
The words I read were cruel
The pain I felt was murderous
My heart was cut in two.
Single Mum with three
Two sons and little girl.
They all my every part of me
My own special loving world.
But then her mind was taken
Her heart ran cold for me
She pushed me far away ...

Mums girl
I held you in my arms
I looked upon your face
My tiny baby girl 💝
My gift from spirits grace.
I watched you grow and learn.
Your laughter and your joys
Outside playing happily
My baby and my boys.
In all my trialled errors
All learning of my own
I missed the fact your growing
Too soon I’d be alone.
Already you were older
Needing me no more.
At times I’d need my baby
She showed me to the door.
I couldn’t understand
Why did she hate me so
It didn’t get much better
In time I had to go. ...

And now we’re there
The smile that turned my head to yours
The warmth when you walked in my doors
I looked and knew that second then
Id never be alone again
Our souls they met when on that day
You smiled and knew this was our way
A future with, no one to fear
They cannot touch, when we don’t care
We’re meant to be And that’s a fact
Advise from others? They are sacked
Here’s to us, our future life
We are as one, I’ll be your wife
🌹

Then I found you
I thought about you way back then
I think about you now
I prayed and hoped I’d find you
But when it was and how
I asked again and said to him
Please can you pick this time
A man with little human sin.
I laid awake in hope you’d show
I Know it’s time to let it go
The prayers I prayed now to be seen
I wait so hopeful and so keen
he found you now and just for me
Opened eyes so I could see
There you were just as I’d prayed
The happiest girl you have now made
Thankyou for just being you 💝
My days are...

I could see
Deep within your eyes I saw a sunken soul
The hurt you felt, was too hard to control
My love for you was deep, I needed you to see
Was not for me to keep, you couldn’t see the me
I held your heart in mine, I loved you oh so true
You found someone to hurt, to make feel oh so blue
I begged you not to pain, the depths within my soul
To make me suffer was your aim, to hurt and heal and claim
To hit me hard emotionally, there that was your game.
I loved you like no other, soulmates yes we were
But anger you held deep within
Nothing could...

your an angel
Always in my life believed
God had made a special breed
A product of much love and grace
Of love and caring, smiling face
He knew we needed help at times
darkest hours, meanest crimes
He chose a few for those in need
No selfishness or hate or greed
He sent them down to walk with us
He knew they'd never make a fuss
He chose a halo free from sight
The glow within, the only light
They hold you up when down you fall
Strengthen us to stand up tall
A smile for to help us through
Times when we are feeling blue
Giving when the need...

This time I am home to stay
In my life no more dismay
All I ask is time to heal
Money for a decent meal
Clothes upon my back to wear
A happy face without a tear
Now my life is just for me
Happiness is mine to see
No more giving out to others
No more pain sent from my brothers
I can do this, I can try
To my past, I say goodbye.

Homeward bound
One more day to spend now here
No more will I have to fear
No more struggling, no more hate
Going home is in my fate
Home is where the heart does swell
But the stories do I tell?
Or climb upon that plane and go
Never will my good friends know
Four years spent to start new life
Slaughtered with a bludgeoned knife
Heart so broken, spirit torn
My life about to be reborn
Soul destroyed and lessons learnt
Fingers been extremely burnt
Yes tomorrow, home I fly
This place? I won't say goodbye
Healing time inside and out
I will heal...

Treat me right
One day soon, he ill meet
This time happy, wont be beat
No more disrespect for me
Happy this time i will be
No more trusting in the fools
No more trapped within four walls
Someone one day i will find
He will be so nice and kind
No more frogs or pigs ill see
No more nastys now for me
I will find my mr right
And this time he will be my knight
This time happy, wont be beat
No more disrespect for me
Happy this time i will be
No more trusting in the fools
No more trapped within four walls
Someone one day i will find
He will be so nice and kind
No more frogs or pigs ill see
No more nastys now for me
I will find my mr right
And this time he will be my knight
