Created for my daughter…
Poem was created prior to the birth of my first grand child.
I am quite proud of the piece as words were never really my greatest passion! This has been my only piece of published writing.

You’ll see the shoots of love sprouting all over me / Ready to blossom everyday / And shower you with droplets of contentment
A gentle love poem
From me the remnants of old are torn, / and into new life I am born.
I wrote this poem about 2 years ago when I left home to go to ‘the city’ to study. I was going through a really bad time when I wrote this, as I felt terrified and confused by the experiences I had regarding my stay and the people I met. I saw for the first time how damaged and messed up our world really is, and to be honest it scared me senseless!
But when will you understand, / my Forest Sovereign, / that they are crying because / you drink me in / but then send me on my way?
Inspired by the fabulous Linaji and her inspiring poem Tenacity. Linaji is a huge source of inspiration and reflection for me on RedBubble, and I’m thrilled to collaborate with her and this marvelous piece of word weaving. Tenacity There is a certain muscle in his heart, / Tenacious as hell, / Resolve with a heady mix of / Obligation and duty / Spilling over / To a dance of postponement and restraint. Yet a melding of dire consequences / That broke the camels back / Does not phase him / Situations that kill others hopes and dreams / Pass over him like duck water down his back He may swim in murky waters and smell the fires / Burning / But he does not flee / No, he feathers his nest even more now, / He goes about the duty of deliverance. / He has responsibility to thank for his persistence / Continuity a road well worn by his journey / And, / Agreements / Within / His only truth sometimes / Sustaining a position he burrows into / Roots growing fast and strong / Even if everything around him begins to rearrange themselves to a different set of beliefs / Revealing a different future / He remains a constant unto himself And sometimes I think this will actually work / Due to unbending intent / The broken pieces will just be ground / Down to dust particles / And change winds will blow them away What remains by his side is of his own doing / Scattered remnants of pain and pleasure / Leading the charge with flags flying / ‘We bring you liberation and freedom’ / However, in the charge there are many deaths and wounded inflicted by this Badge of honor / Worn with a mighty cause / His happiness or so it would seem. That is the beauty however of this beating heart / This righteous army / Swelling round the wounded and the lost / As the dust settles and the ‘liberators’ are reaching out / With grace / Smiling / Picking up the pieces with tenderness and tears We are convinced sometimes perhaps it is best / To remain here / In the place where one was born / Where one was once happy and playing as a child / Remembering only the sweetness of growing up / In a neighbor hood that had many stories of joy and / Pleasure. / So we take the liberators hand with a smile / Because now he has given us a piece of chocolate / With almonds / Something we have not had for a very long time.

Clock strikes, / every second my heart stabs / another injection of grief, / as streams wash the contours / rushing the valleys of guise. / ...
In this instance all repetition was intentional.
The seed flies in the wind / then plants itself in the mind. Ingrained / in the brain cells, / its roots grow / expanding to other minds….
The invasion of an idea is more powerful and threatening than the invasion of an enemy country / - Me :) This was inspired by events in history which fear and suspicion dictated people’s actions. There are many examples: the Inquisition, the fear of Communism in America (Cold War), WWII, Iraq War, and so many more.....and maybe even this whole Pig Flu scare, you never know….
My heart cracks and splits / like old wooden beams under pressure / The weight is too great / The wait is colossal / and pushes me down into…
Doesn’t it sometimes feel as if clocks and watches have no other use but to ruin our lives?
My soul is weak / and the body weary / The dull ache in my chest increasing / and the turning and churning of my stomach / The sickness is ov…
Magpiemagic’s Tete-a-Tete really captures what I was trying to convey in this poem. Please check out her page- she’s awesome! Thank you for letting me link this to my page!
you know it’s hard for me -life he means
My fears were once like yours- / a black chain that I also found in you / But I’m leaving it behind and setting myself free / I hope one day you can too
But I just sit / Watch / Wish / And want
Everyone loses it sometimes, this is how it feels :P
Pick yourself up and keep going, / When life throws the biggest curves.
