I feel incomplete
As if you were stolen
At your peak
You were gone

New years 96'
I held your hand
Complete in that moment
Forever

March 97'
The knock at my door
A new pain
Changed my life

I'm cheated
Not Sad
Too short
Wish you were here

Spread the word
Embrace the consequence
Of your conscientous
Its all madness anyway
But I don't despair
Honed my sharpest weapons
My heart my mind
Make you stop and think
Today is a Good day

It dawns on me sometimes when we talk
I hear, the noise turns white merging with the bird song
I listen, order in chaos a pattern emerges
I know, magma tears a way to the surface
I understand, creating form where there was none
I yearn, whats past, whats next
You give me conscience
Substance and Meaning

An act of random kindness
Is all it takes
Try it at least once a day
See what happens
It will come back
From somewhere unexpected

A stranger offered me a strepsil on the train
Because I was coughing
Breaking the rule of personal space
A smile a helping hand
And a losenge

Your home is your castle
But in a disaster
You leap the fence
To check on your neighbur
Because your family is safe
You don't have to but you do it anyway

Start an avalanche
Influence whats around you
Control it  Own it
Take charge of your world
Because we can make it a better place
Together

You're such an awesome little cat
Your life started with "I am not disposable"
The most heart wrenching sight to behold
A tiny black scrumpled up mess
You're now our loved "Scrawny black rat"
You don't like to be held
About a minute is your limit
Then your sweet tone ... mmmmmmhhh
Not happy you grimace
So I put you down
I will never traumatise you
Just build a cool world around you
I love it at my meal time
You jump up in my face
You just can't help yourself
You have to investigate
And taste .. and what do I do
I let you cause you make me melt
Still small with the heart of a lion
I'm so glad we saved you

Obsessively I write
I write and write
I want to, I need to
Every day without fail
My memoirs
My story
My boys in mind
But who knows
Where this could go
This could  be bigger than me
I may share my stories
For the world to read
The thought excites me
Because I'm now a Doer
Not a wisher
I'm eyeing what competition
Writing on a Mission
I'm excited again
Poetry helped me
To Ignite
My hidden passion
I really love it
Next mission Dinner
Chores done and dusted
I'll spend the rest of my night
Writing !

Its been a long time
Since I loved a Artist as much
I make time every day
In her heavenly chorus space

Is this an Angel
I first thought
Stopped in my tracks
I couldn't believe it

If it hadn't been for love
The latest song I strum
I sing my heart out
Dare to think that I can do it

Chasing pavements
Melts my core
Such sweet tone
How does she do it

Someone like you
Someone like me
About mastered
Down to a tee

A few each Generation
Born to move a nation
Who will be next
On my joyous music quest

You are not their friend
You are the center of their universe
You give them life
You are responsible
You teach them
You owe them the truth
You are too ******* yourself
You have done your job
If they hate you sometimes
Don't give in

You and I
Different the same
Like a jig saw piece
Found each other
Meant to be
You melt me
Like a cave man
Primal and sweet
Words I couldn't dream
Stop me
I'm here
I hear
I feel
You

I hate you sometimes
You drive me crazy

I love you always
And weep when you hurt

You're so dumb
And still young

I will protect you
From everything out there

Don't forget me
When you grow up

You'll really care

One day you'll thank me

Now shut up and share ...

A long week at work
Floorwalking to support
The new CSR's I've trained
Physical & brain drained
A hunk of meat
In a den of pitbulls
Waiting politely
Relentless not rude
Graciously I smile
You're welcome
A hundred times
Easy
Feeling the stare
Uneasy glare
Jo what do I do
I say if needed
Take a deep breathe
The customer will wait
If they want you to fix it
I must remember to say
What do you think
I need to step back
And not be automatic
I've said to a couple
You look like a
Stunned Mullet
You can do it
You got this
now Own it
Re-assuredly I say
Quickly to plan
Direction to help
And not totally do it
Praising the answer
Right on the button
Write this down
For any bits missing
I sneak in a break
Some lunch always late
9 hours of that
Plus 2 hours on the train
A lot for me
Now it makes sense
Why I almost
Fell off my seat... lol

You crack me up
With your hair straighteners and make up
You run from the rain
Cause your doo will get frizzy
Your foundation will run
Gorgeous, you entertain me
Your need for toys
The latest this and that
Your clothes
Not clothes but brands
Whats up with that?
I need you to interpret
Technology and facebook
You help me figure it out
You download it all
I'm too chicken to do that
I feel like a thief
I'm glad you're here
Your view on the world
Fascinates me I must catch up
Its the way that you roll
And I'm down with that
I love your company

Sit and whine you have no time
Dramatic and frantic
Overly manic

Consume and waste
What a disgrace

Insatiable appetite
Never happy with life
Greedy and careless
Reality bites

Create disease
You can't see or touch
Everything's really just too much

Measure a man
Wear a suit lots of money
Success in your mind
A big fat  lie

A victim of circumstance
Enveloped in fear
Seeking acceptance
Attached to a tear

Open your eyes
Your heart and your mind
It all means nothing
In the end who cares

Build up your stamina
Do whats right
Give it all up
It cuts like a knife

Written not said
Makes sense in your head
Alive on page
Between the line
Rhyme time
Silent epistle
Soul speaks
Empathise
Message deep

I refuse to exert my power over you like that

Who am I to tell you what to like

You will not drag me down because that's my choice

I choose to live a simple life

I walk in the sunshine not in gloom

My cup is overflowing with love, respect, dignity for all

I'm not perfect but I am aware and working on it

I could yell ... but I don't
**I Live

Please have you change to spare
A piece of bread a bite to eat
I'm deep in despair

On your glass throne
You judge and frown
I hope that one day
You never go down

If I could change where life's led me mate
I'd sit at your table
There'd be no more hate
