I know
everyday
you watch over me
and my ridiculous
struggle
to simply just
Be.

Your beauty
is your honesty
it lies deep  beneath those
sapphire
blue eyes
that never blink
unless  someone
questions why
or perhaps
a random fly!

You teach me things
I didn’t know
I needed to know

I
wish
I
was
a
little
bit
more
like
you

there is
nowhere
you will ever go
no depth
no height
no valley
no peak
no desert
no sea
no joy
no sorrow
there is
nowhere
you will ever go
no abyss
deep enough
for me
not to find you
and carry you home
again .

You wash over me
with your wisdom
you silence me
with your voice
you know me
with your love

I didn’t know
that I needed to know
so much
to be your Mum

love me
if you will but
that includes all the
jagged cutting  edges
of me
not easy
I know but
they have been a part of me
for so long now
I don’t know how
to be me
without them.

I could say Goodbye to you
Without pain
One time and ten score
If you could promise me
Our next hello
Will  even up the score

I don’t fit you anymore
truth be told
you don’t fit me either
we are weird jigsaw pieces
at the edge of the puzzle
the ones you can’t quite work  out
where to put
for ages
then suddenly
out of the blue
you see it
that’s where they go
the puzzle complete!!

You have all the best lines
but no melody.

This is so much better
Than I expected
and you
God,
so much more than
I deserve
even for me

I love you
my love is a little bit off centre
that much I know is true
but still
I love you
a little bit off centre
It’s the best I can do.

After all these years
I honestly couldn’t bear
to celebrate
my wedding anniversary
with anybody else
but you!

You are everyone
and everything
I ever wanted to be
it would always be a reach
for someone like me
but just living with you
elevates me

Look at your father
laugh a bit
if you will
but know this
if you know nothing else
ever
as long as you live
this
is the purest
most honest
love
you
for the rest
of your life
will ever
know!

And then
out of nowhere
you said
Hello!

Everything I know
About being real
About being true
I learned from
You

You never asked me
to dance
I just wanted
to dance
from the moment
I met you

Your love
makes a fool
out of my love
your love
walks ten miles more
than my love
your love speaks sonnets
my love mumbles
your love screams
my love whispers
your love
fills the room
my love
locked in a tomb

I live
with the person
I aspire to
be

Your heart
my friend
is the purest thing
in my lifetime
I will ever see

I knew you were okay
when you picked up
the worst bits of me
put them in your pocket
and never
gave them back to  me

Your love
shows me
what
love
actually
is

You know I love you
probably always will
but just not
today
Is that okay?

You are without doubt
The best person
I could never
live without

Here’s the thing
the missing
never leaves
we just learn
that love
is just as real
from afar.

I miss
every
little
tiny
annoying
thing
about
seeing
you
every
day

She is gone
again
just as quickly has she
arrived
like a wisp of smoke
again
like a sunrise missed
again
like a moment lost
again
like an opportunity
known again
like love
found again

I am still here
in the same ‘ol place I have
always been
know it doesn’t quite
look the same
but I am still here
same as it as always been

Little tiny  pieces of yourself
petered out
at will
supposed to be enough
for me
you know
they never will

It’s a fine thread
Between
Your heart and mine
silken and fine
like rich red wine
don’t break the line
and nor
will I
trust in me
and we will be fine

Are we just
two people
who have given up
on each other ?

tears are just water
and we all need water
to live.

and just when there was
nothing left to say
you spoke

Who in the world
gets to sit and watch
the sun go down
in their own back yard
light glistening on the sea
and their love go down
with every move
of the money market
just me
I guess

You are all grown now
I can see
You know a million more things than me
Give me a minute
to say goodbye
you will always be
two feet taller than me

I don’t know where
I’m going
but I know
I can’t leave you
behind

When I was tiny
my father said
you have words at will
use them wisely
he said
they hold enough
power to ****

I love
the little bits of life
that present themselves
to me
unexpectedly
in a carpark
on a rainy
Tuesday night

Our land is rich in tears
cried from sorrow filled eyes
Our land is saturated in deep red blood
spilled for human lies
and battle cries
not worth the lies
Our land is sinking deeper
and deeper
into the abyss
Seduced and hypnotised
by the serpent’s gentle kiss

and then
just as I dressed
in an unusual style
flicked my tongue
over my newly bought smile
looked in the mirror
thought
okay. this ain’t a trial
you called
like I always knew
you would.

I was happy
deep in my heart
the first night I knew you
the knew of you
still
flows
effortlessly
all over me

I am knot  in love
but I am knot
not in love.

You know
I don’t know
and revel in the not knowing
because the pain of knowing
would mean growing
into someone
I believe is
not worth the knowing

Please forgive me if
I know longer  
know
the right thing to say

No
is a complete sentence
I only
learned that
yesterday
so today
I can say
out loud
no
no
no
and louder
No
No
JUST NO

I know
Know this
if you know nothing else
know this
I know
and I think
I probably
always did

You do know
don’t you?
that all of this
means nothing
if we don’t both love it
if we are both not
in all honesty
true
you do know that
don’t you?
