Our relationship Now a memory
Our love a distant stranger
We held hands
Touched hearts
Entwined souls
For a while
But now
It's time
To move on
It was not in vain
We have enriched each others lives
Sewn beautiful memories
Into the tapestry of our lives
Like a caged dove I must allow you to fly
Be happy my love
You were never really mine
I wish only the best for you
Always..........

No guarantees in this world that we live
Some of us take some of us give
We can't trust
Governments
Can't trust the banks
When we help others
Can't trust they'll give thanks
If we become sick in need of care
In hospitals you may not find it there
If we lock up our valuables
Secure our home
There's no guarantee
Thieves will leave it alone
Even when you marry
You may find
Your closest friend
May have
Adultery in mind
We strive to survive
Obeying the laws
There's loop holes in that
It too full of flaws
Then there's insurance
Supposed to bring peace of mind
But read the small print
Even then you will find
They've a get out clause
It's too late! You paid n signed
Each day that  unfolds
Another lie
Only one guarantee
We are born to die

Hot balmy night
Walking hand in hand
Drawing  their names in the sand
The smell of the sea filling the air
What time is it ? What do they care
Another world somehow descends
Both feeling like there is no end
Urgent kisses, passion desire
Electric touch ignites a burning fire
Abandoned clothing
Naked free
Their love blind
They cannot see
They exchange numbers
Promise to write
"But they never do it was just one night. " ........

Painted my nails
Painted my toes
Put on my lipstick
Powdered my nose
Plucked my eyebrows
Curled my hair
Can't decide
What to where?!
Should I wear jeans?
Or perhaps a dress
I'm very nervous
I must confess
Butterflies in my stomach
Another drink
Drunk too much
Now I can't think
Will he like me
Will he not
My front door key
Oh no I forgot !
What time is it?
My god I'm late!
Don't you just hate
Going on a first date ?

I waited for your call tonight
You said that you would ring
I have come to the conclusion
Your words don't mean a thing

I read through all your letters
With disappointment and contempt
It was then that I decided
To go to where they'd been sent

I knocked the door n waited
In the hope that you'd be there
Instead there stood a woman
With long blonde curly hair

I asked her who she was
She said she was your wife!
I felt  my whole world shatter
It pierced through me like a knife

100 miles of hell
As I made the journey home
I now know  that your a cheater
So leave me the hell
Alone !

December 28th 2001 Istarted a new job
The specified criteria immense
The role involved challenging
The hours 24/7
For life
Payment far richer than gold or silver
Responsibilities include
Teacher , adviser ,playmate,nurse
Protector,counsellor,supporter,
Listener,Provider­
My rewards unfold before me each passing day
You are .... The very essence of my exsistence
The fruits of all my labour and sacrifice
Your inner beauty reflects my heart
Your intelligence will be an asset to the next generation
Your laugh is infectious
Your thoughtfull ways touch my soul
You are loved and remembered by all you meet
As beautiful as a new day that dawns
My daughter
My inspiration........

I saw you today
Dressed in the dreaded colour black!
You were hiding behind those sun shades
Your 2 kids clinging to you
My heart was heavy
I wanted to scoop you all up on a cloud
Somewhere safe from him!
I felt helpless
Knowing the inner turmoil of your mind had turned  inside out
It was there reflected in the colour black
I love you all
I am your friend
I with the power of love
Will inject the colour white  -reflecting freedom
Tranquility harmony n peace
Into your life
I will not be far away
He shadows you with his dark devious ways
Hates me.?     I know
Because I eclipse him with my light   My laugh 'my love of life'

Hold on
Your not alone in this
I have lit your pathway.    Follow me.  Your friend.
