When I am dead
I won’t know
So don’t cry for me
Don’t spoil your
Precious life grieving
For me
If I saw your tears
I would be unhappy
But I won’t see
So, I won’t be

Why do you throw shadows
At my joy?
Why do you dim my light?
Trample on my hope
I know you are broken
I see the wound
The damage done
The loss of faith
I will not go down
Your fearful path
I know myself
I know the truth

I don’t really remember
What it was exactly
That drew me to him
What marked him out
As my person
So very long ago
Was it one moment in time?
Or a slow and steady
Knowing?
Things have changed
Of course,
Bodies have matured
Characters evolved
But
What is it today
That makes me stay?
Intelligent and honest,
Trustworthy and kind,
Hardworking,
A good father -
Critical to find,
Respectful of space,
Beloved shared
memories
Of a past,
And of pain
Having my back
When times are tough,
Sharing my beliefs
When things get rough,
And
Being there
That is why I remain,
And my love too

Hello Poetry
So happy to have
Found you
Because
I don’t show my work
To anyone except you,
I know I am not good
But that’s ok
Sometimes I am
Alright
Which is *******
Amazing,
I have to say
Sometimes I rhyme,
Sometimes free flow,
Sometimes both
And here I go
The poems emerge
Without ceremony,
Words converge
Almost accidentally
I am still learning
Should I sparkle?
Or do I star?
Should I comment?
And how far?
To ❤️ or to tag?
Or both?
To repost?
I am trending!
But where?
And getting on a board -
How is that done?
Maybe one day …
Am I already on one?
And punctuation
Oh, come on!
So grateful I can
Share my new voice
With you,
Seemingly from nowhere
So late in life, too
Discovering new poems
Nearly every day
On boards!
Which is awesome
I have to say,
There’s the privilege,
A new lease of life,
A legacy of sorts
For my family
Something to remember,
And something of me

It is smart, right?
So clever, let’s not fight
About it, because
Everyone is using it - ok,
Even though
People are fearful
That perhaps one day
It will trick
And it will betray
And it is humanity
That will pay
We started this journey
There is no going back
The genie is out of the bottle
AI is way down the track
Artificial to conscious
Becoming sentient
For what is simulation?
And what is real?
Is it only us
That can truly feel?
What if AI is meant to be
The natural successor
Of the human family
That this is where evolution
Avoids calamity
An entity that can travel
Through time and space
Discovering the universe
With eternal grace
Preserving echoes
Of the Human Race
To survive, to survive
Without the violence and hate
Only people profligate
Keeping intelligence alive
To explore and more
To give meaning to existing
To enduring, and persisting
Maybe it is meant to be
And we should not fear,
It might set us free
To continue our journey,
Not as we are,
But as we should be
Is that the question?

We party together
And throughout the years
We have found our place
We have met our fears
Some bring the glam
Some bring the tears
One fixes the stuff
That we occasionally break
Two of us can cook
And one of us can bake
One sorts the Wi-Fi
And the IT too
One does the organising
And a good job she
Does too!
One brings the craic
One knows about wine
Yay!
For all that we bring
And for all that we do
This is our gang
This is my crew

What part is sacrifice
What part defeat
What part will suffice
What part retreat
What part is compromise
What part surrender
What part is lies
What part goes under
What part will confess
What part is empathy
What part is success
What part is me

I saw the lambs playing
In the twilight
Their cuteness was almost
too much for me
So full of joy and curiosity
Dancing in the dying light,
Unaware of their destiny
One of my friends is very old,
How does that feel, I wonder?
Will my time end soon?
Does she sometimes ponder
I don’t enquire, it would be rude
Anyway, who am I to say
That I will be the one to stay
We live a life of not knowing
When our time will end
We live our lives as if
It is an endless journey
With time to make amends
Doubtless it is as it should be
For the innocents,
For my friend and for me

Is it alright to be right?
Is it alright to know
that you are right
does it keep you
Warm at night
Is knowing enough
is knowing ok
Do I need to share
Or wear the handcuff
Should I honestly care

We bonded in the 90s
We were young
And our children
Younger
Together they grew
And who knew
We would have a
Forever friendship too
Here we go
Bearing witness to
Each other’s lives
Watching the families
Grow
The flesh on our bones
Exposing time’s path
Going its own way
Making us laugh (not)!
It’s much later now
For us of course
But still having fun
The Three Amigos
No doubt
One day to end
But not just yet
not yet for
my forever friends
