Many things have been invented
By geniuses in times past
There's been television
Radio
Electricity and gas
The invention of the light bulb
Let's not forget the wheel
And of course the ship
Titanic
Made from 24,000 tons of steel
Communication lines were open
By the invention of the phone
But there's one simple invention
That stands out on its own
We use it to communicate
Every single day
Without it I would struggle
To say the words I need to say
The name of the inventor
Who I'm sure was very proud
Was an absolute genius
John J loud
He possibly never realised
In 1880
Way back then
How important was the invention " To all of us"
The simple  ..... Pen

Think before you use them
You cannot put them back
Remember what you said
You'll get caught
If you lose track
Be careful how you say them
Your tone will set the mood
Don't use them to be spiteful
Harmful or be rude
When said with love and kindness
There's nothing to compare
To let others know just how we feel
How much you 'love n care'........

I gave you a key
Don't lose it
It's to my heart
Don't abuse it
I'm giving you my time
Appreciate it
I'm giving you my mind
Please read it
I'm giving you my soul
Please touch it
I'm giving you  my body
Please cherish it
I'm giving you my love
Please treasure it
Now here are my words
I love you ...........

Pink balloons
Glitter nails
Glossy lips
Fairy tales
Frilly dresses
Pigtails with bows
"I have a secret"
No one knows!
Flowery handbags
Sweet perfume
"Can't keep  it in "
Need to tell you soon!
Sparkly jewellery
Ballet shoes
"I know what you're about to lose"
"Tell me the secret I here you shout"?
Ok
''Closets open."       I'm coming out!!!  .....

Alcohol on his breath
Friday night
Matter of time
Before the fight
Kick punch slap
Fears
Screaming loud
No one hears
He beckons sorry from my lips
He then strokes me with his finger tips
It's okay
I hear him say
" You made me do it"!
Just had a bad day ......

"I painted a picture today"
I'm hoping it inspires people in a similar way that my poetry does
No ! I hope it does more than that
I've scrutinised and criticised it from all angles
Til my energy drained
It's of a sunset
The colours are vivid n just right "or are they"?
My local gallery's displaying it at a fair price or is it?
I'm not sure if it's hanging in the best place?
Does that matter?
It's taken a long time to complete
I'm surprised they thought it was good enough ?
I am my harshest  critic
A perfectionist ......

I used to believe you loved me
Didnt ever ask you why
I used to believe you'd never
give me a reason to cry
I thought we'd built a foundation
Nothing could ever break
But now I've found your mobile
My thoughts are a mistake
I heard your phone vibrating
Joe was what I read
I should have gone to bed that night
Negative thoughts entered my head
I thought about the time we've shared
Since our wedding day
Our first kiss
Last dance
Our song we loved to play
You promised you'd be faithfull til the end of time
I wanted to believe you
Ignore the warning signs
Wedding ring in your pocket
Aftershave on every day
Longer hours at the office
Hotel bills
When you worked away
Didn't want to dial the number
It's what I had to do
She answered n said " hey ****"
White lace n promises..?
We're through  !
