Mustard coloured turtle necks
and haircuts that owe a lot
to the nearest mixing bowl,
the fuzz and fade of decades
in the album, closed and out of mind,
can’t dim the smiles
or hide those who are there
amongst the wrapping paper drifts

Connect

to the space about you

not the things in it

call it your salvation

Fear and doubt are questions
Intuition brings statements

Loving you is weightless
Gliding through the summer air
Kisses like the gentle breeze
Nothing dragging us down
Only bringing each other up
Floating any which way we please.
Toxic relationships are heavy, they take a large toll on us and make us feel not good enough. Find someone who makes you feel light, like you can do anything and go anywhere. You should feel energized and rejuvenated not weighed down by your relationships.

I am so tired
I have been strong for so long
I am putting up the best fight I can
But I'm exhausted
tired of swimming against the current
and pushing boulders up hills
I don't know how many more arrows I can pull
or how many more daggers my back can take
although my skin keeps getting thicker
I still feel them break through
the scars are all still there
getting through each day
with strength and difficulty
growing in direct proportion

As a child
I always used to love the swings
begging my mum
to go higher and higher
flying through the air
the chains crashing about
addicted to that feeling
now I'm only swinging from the ceiling

Work? Still permitted.
If you’re still employed, that is.
Your windows are grey?
Just paint another rainbow.
Clap again if you fancy

keep your head above the water
but don't let the waves overpower.
