Today would have marked your 70th year,
A milestone bright, a day so dear.
I wonder often, in silent thought,
How we’d have celebrated, how joy would be sought.

As time goes on, the pain won’t fade,
Your love’s a comfort that’s never swayed.
Though you’re gone, you’re never far,
Your memory shines like the brightest star.

Every milestone brings your kindness near,
A gap you left that none can fill here.
My love for you remains ever bright,
Your love still guides me, even out of sight.

Place one hand on my shoulder
and guide my head under
You welcomed me to the world
so let me drown at your fault
Smile at me faintly as the waves
ripple over my eyes and fill my lungs
Like a babe being baptised
you hold the back of my skull
Now, not to keep me from drowning
but to show me your gentle touch
As my body erupts in panic, I flail
I feel your love
And for the slights you caused
I feel your sorrow
But I am too far gone, no longer
needing your hands to keep me afloat
Or to hold me under
2020 was a dark place, lately I feel myself returning to that place (to that mentality, and I feel her at the centre of my issues)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!!  
always a place in my heart......
roses and mental thoughts
love and care..
Be Blessed always..
we got this....!
to my sistahs..
united we shall stand....
@inside the fences....
s.h.e_Is Eternal..
happy birthday wishes
Your the womb that carried these diamonds..
The shelter that harbored the extended mini cities...
The feet that traveled the valleys highs and lows....
and
your memories will always be what follows....
Today we embrace the hands that cooked, washed, scrubbed, and wrote the songs that'll never be forgotten..
The songs are your vocals.
we have listened to from birth and beyond..
Love you!!
From the daughters...

somedays,
i will make a cup of coffee
for my mum and i.
seek solace at the table
find comfort in each other's company.

these are the moments i need.

this is the sweet,
amongst the sour.

Hyperventilating
Gasping for air
Lightheaded
My faint whispers
"Help me"
My bedroom door opens
My mother walks in
"Morgan"
Her annoyed tone is ringing
in my ears
I hear the door close again
She left me
I feel abandoned
And I lay there
All alone
More whispers escape my lips
"Why? Why? Why?"
I needed someone in that moment
I needed comfort
Yet all I feel is emptiness
This literally happened last night

I love you very much.
I see tears running down
Though your eyes shine
And it seems you're forgetful.

Luck pulled you out of a hat...
Destiny took you by the hand
And Life smiled upon you
As Time waited graciously.

I lit a candle
to finally say goodbye
it felt better like a pill
had cured me
of all my anxieties
you burnt down the wax
like another life
one small light
in the cavernous space
of a church
no more room for blame
no more room for remorse
I've let go of the kite string
like I wish I'd let go of your apron
ties are cut
heaven awaits
I am at peace
and you are at rest
