Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com As with a lot of my older work I can see that this piece is relevant to people of all genders, and no matter the relationship. It could equally be parent child. I find it so interesting the different way we look at life such a few short yearsContinueContinue reading “The Rest is silence”

Self-ish
Photo by itsmeseher on Pexels.com Another poem about the struggle to make a relationship work, and support each other without giving yourself entirely away, and ignoring your needs. Hopefully a meet in the middle poem. It’s unfashionable to be selfish Un-natural not to care more for others than yourself But you have needs and wishesContinueContinue reading “Self-ish”
Push Me, Pull Me, Lose Me.
Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com This was written at a time when my husband’s job was overwhelming our lives, he was under so much pressure and I was getting concerned and fed up at the same time. However, for work you can substitute anything in a relationship that leaves someone in the place ofContinueContinue reading “Push Me, Pull Me, Lose Me.”
Second Best
Photo by Nathan Cowley on Pexels.com SECOND BEST Limpid blue pools to fall into A soft landing to sucker the fey A heart that’s as closed as a solid steel safe Do I dare love you? No way You love an idea that you’ve encountered A belief in the things you deserve And I’m certainContinueContinue reading “Second Best”
Always Chasing
Photo by Yan Krukau on Pexels.com I chose this image because although this poem comes from my ‘More Than a Woman’ series, I honestly believe that all genders have similar experiences in life. The sad thing about this series was that a male friend of mine was going to write poems from a male viewpoint,ContinueContinue reading “Always Chasing”

We humans reach out, reach forward, reach behind us, and in doing so we often miss what’s right there in front of us. Never forget to explore theContinueContinue reading “Voyage”
Good world bad inhabitants?
Photo by Anna Shvets on Pexels.com Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a much happier place if we humans had much better attitudes. We all know we need to take more care of the planet, appreciate it more, honour what it gives us, those things are a given. We worship unseen gods, yetContinueContinue reading “Good world bad inhabitants?”
I
Photo by Brett Jordan on Pexels.com The final poem in the Caves of Ismaron series. Similar to Is in it’s delivery. I realised writing them that, of course, Is is the beginning of Ismaron, and I is the first letter. So it felt like a clarification of the original message as I wrote them both.ContinueContinue reading “I”
Is
Photo by Alex Azabache on Pexels.com This is a difficult poem to reflect in an image, but I like this one as it looks like the door to a cave, minus the cave. All is being revealed as it were. The second poem in the Caves series, it came through in September 2015, a fewContinueContinue reading “Is”
The Caves of Ismaron
The key to get our of your house?Photo by Martins Krastins on Pexels.com I can’t actually remember if I’ve ever posted The Caves on this site, it’s been published a few times so it’s hard to recollect where it’s been, but it’s one worth reposting, and in the coming days I will post the twoContinueContinue reading “The Caves of Ismaron”
