So often I stare in your eyes,
asking the same simple question;
of why?

Why,
are you not happy with what you see?
for you have grown beautifully..

Why,
must you paint your face to look?
so many hearts you took..

Why,
is your tiny figure not enough?
you have become so tough..

Why,
must you always compare?
you've become too aware..

Why,
will you never love yourself?
a prize worthy of your own shelf..

Why,
do you choose to remain blind?
just look and you will find..

Everything that I see in you,
a beauty that is true.

We, stayed up late;
Saw his shadow cast away
a distance. Sung his song.

We, rise alone:
Clutching the fruits of
imaginings. Sated of hunger.

We hear birdsong
& bees, pollinating the blossom,
in everlasting harmony.

We watch steam
form clouds around us,
alighting over our morning cups.

We stir, refreshed, tasting nectar anew.
Qui?
Qui!
Qui...
Oh... qui

stayed up late,
watched the moon
... an apple & Americano for breakfast,  
whilst baking a cake :)
Metanoia begs the muse   believe...              
"Accept the current, do not fight the flow."      

True, and known,
these aching limbs must
rest within the deepest ebb
- as the ocean swells
with each new
moon.

Drifting far
when floating; Sinking
deeply into crystal nothingness
- unless held by a sturdy rock,
tethered taut.
                
Promises sung, in rounds, stay...
Swirled upon a blushed summers breeze; Heard,
liberated, in flight's of birdsong
across sunset skies.
  
       Connected distant energies may still   
but for always, will burn brightly in each
& every shining light seen by
her sextant soul

[eyes]
on the
   Voyage  
      ahead.    

"Surrender the past  & tomorrow  comes... 
un-blinkered,
never unbound."

From me to all that is now, known, & yet to Be...

Metanoia (n);
the journey of changing ones mind, heart, self, or way of life
Deadbeat dad,
you can't compete with the patter of tiny feet.

Forever...
Shall I strive to be Mum & Dad in spite of thee.

You had your chance and made your choice
(..."and missed so much" in the saddest voice).

So distant, both in words and deeds,
both empty since you sowed the seed.

He was made with love, only mine.
So listen now...
We'll be just fine!
Briefly, I glimpsed a lone tiger today.
Felt  her presence at distance, as she
   smoothed bristled fur... with
rough tongue!
Today is GCSE results day here in the UK...
I'm the very proud mum of an A grade student -

A huge thank you from me, to all those who have read (& supported)
my loosened licks ;)
hazard of counting time and words
~
stoops to foolhardy pacing
wit-clogs hardly ever silent



1.
how seconds fall flat on its innocent face;  
loss of hands - clock no help at all

as feelings croak in embrace of premature words;
rig a string tight, not long after your first day


2.
you didn’t know that where you were sent
all in good faith
put you plain on a danger-path ….. what sick traps awaited
(and yet, *exculpa non-fini
)
for, how could you fathom
that trusted hands and friendly eyes
coaxed your trust,
engaged in
what they never should...



the only sane thing to do
is to live by
the second….the minute….the hour …..
no more

failing which, is
scraping by
on the leniency
of
second chances





S T, 22 aug - thur
talk about breaking the rules...!
some people do get away with terrible things... 'cos bullies love silence.
well, all things to come round...




Sun-entrance:  sepia-stone

1.
There be bright days
And there be brighter days

This, I’s be tellin’ meself
I keeps remindin’  me
Ain’t …. no dark days here
Only in forgotten mem’ry-boxes
Long ago cast in sepia-stone
(But one sudden dust-blow
Can wickedly crumble that erudite-face
And bring ALL that …wriggling back to ****** life)

2.
sure ain’t no fool like an old one
Oh, pore chil’ don’t get it none:
Bendin’ all the rules
don’t mean breakin’  ‘em!

I've just seen you
New you
Old you is gone
Lost in the melody of the
Song which once ours
"I'm no superman, I
Hope you like me as I am"
Pity that songs aren't always true.
Old me misses the old you.
But new me can see,
That you and I were never meant to be.

When you saw me I saw no shock
Not even a hit on the lock of your heart
Which I so longed never to part with.
I was so innocent then
That was back when, I was pure
And demure
And sure that none could ever want me
Unaware of the power of the stare
Upon me bare
Unaware of the care I should have kept with me there
In your sights
Every part of me convinced you were about to take flight
Leaving me with only ragged feathers
To clutch in the night of my terrors
And pray and wish it wasn't true
That I had lost my only purity:
You.
i haven't eaten anything
at school in a week
and the one day
i bring something
                                            it's gone
taken by a "friend"
who just wanted food
and happened to notice
i had some in my hand
                                 i bet
          they didn't notice
               i haven't eaten
                         anything
                        in a week
today
the sea gulls
stole my food
