Take Notice
Debbie Brindley Feb 2018
Notice the things about
the one you love
Like their beautiful smile
The way that they dress
their own style
The tone of voice with
each change of mood
Or funny habits when eating food
The sound of their laugh
That look
just for you
The way their lips pucker  
as they drink
The way their **** looks
when they stand at the sink
The shape of their hands
The arch on their feet
All our loved ones are very unique
The color of their hair
Or expression in their eyes
The feel of their skin
The touch of their thighs
So make sure you notice
what you have today
Because someday
it may
just all go away
Stop and appreciate

Sweet Knight
Debbie Brindley Mar 2018
You came a calling
my gallant knight  
Stars twinkling
The moon bright
On your sleek black stallion
you came to my door
My heart pounding
as you crossed the
floor
Sweeping me into your big strong arms
Filling me instant with a tranquil calm
Your lips full and tender
are upon mine
A kiss so sweet
simply devine
Gently you take me
by my hand
Through the bush
Moonbeams lighting the land
Stopping at the waters edge
We sit relaxed upon a ledge
There is wine and a platter
what a fabulous treat
Such a lucky maiden am I
to have a knight so sweet
Date nights with my husband
The sleek black stallion
was my husbands midnight blue RX7
Debbie Brindley Jul 2017
Lovely little nose
Skin so soft
Long feet, long toes

Good head of hair
Rose bud lips
Content little stare

Amazing feeling
So much love
For one perfect little bub
Amazing how little babies
can make you feel

Life
Debbie Brindley Aug 2017
Life rushes by like a river raging
Everything around you forever changing

Growing up leaving home
Starting your own adventure
Getting a place of your own
filling it with things
you treasure

You may experience
heartache
You may
find someone to love
You may
go for midnight strolls
Admiring the stars above

Maybe marry
Have children  
Bringing grandparents
great pleasure
A child's love is a wonderful thing
the best feeling ever

Life flies along so very fast
One day you wake  
50yrs has past

It all becomes quite a blur
So many memories
making emotions stir

Family and friends
people you hold dear
Some family and friends
no longer here

Reasons being
accidents
suicide
illness
for some it's old age
There will be good times
bad times
There's all sorts of lessons
on lifes stage

You can't always know
what life will bring
Sometimes it's so wonderful
it'll make your heart sing

But there will be times
you feel dark
empty inside
all you want to do
is lock out the world
and hide

But life's forever changing
Who knows what
the next ten years will bring
So buckle up your seatbelt
and let life do it's thing
Life is a rollercoaster

Warrior With Heart
Debbie Brindley Oct 2018
Strong and free
Warrior is she
Goddess with heart
She'll stand beside you
from the start
Her heart beats for you
the one she holds true
True love runs through her veins
She'll fight for you
through sunshine and rain
Give rise to her call
She'll not let you fall
Warrior staunch is she
This warrior
she is me
Being my husbands carer

Poetry Helping Me Heal
Debbie Brindley Mar 2018
My poetry sorrowful
my life my muse
writing of my sadness
helps dispense my mournful blues
It really does surprise me how writing poetry makes me feel
Expressing my emotions
in words
is helping me to heal
Poetry helping get through the tough times

Oak trees sway in breeze
Red dirt driveway curving dividing the two

Panic Attack
Debbie Brindley Apr 2018
Suffocating feeling
gasping to breath
Overwhelming sensation
A need to leave
Isolation wanted
Great need for space
Overheating
Burning up
Sweat on my face
Head starting to spin
Walls closing in
Need to escape
Leave
Get out
Before it's too late
Inhale
Exhale
Out the door
Through the gate
Sit
Breath
Take my time
Got out
Got away
Everything will be fine
When I was 19 started  suffering panic attacks and the only way I could stop them was to leave the place I was having the panic attack. Had.them for about 3yrs

Unknown
Debbie Brindley Sep 2018
Sad heart
spilleth over
with tears wept
Muffled murmurs
of secrets kept

Arms embrace
holding tight
In the darkness of night

Unshed tears
locked away
Troubled fears know in play
Silent secrets
forever unknown
Year upon year
time has flown

Darkness is me
for now in this moment
I don't know
who to be
Hard times
Debbie Brindley Apr 2018
Caring for you
my love
a harrowing experience
it has been
A life I had not expected
A life unforeseen
When things change in life
When things are taking away
I can't just except and for it be ok
I need time
I need space
In order to get my head
into the right place
To have support workers
come in and care of you
For them to take over
and do what I normally do
When my head
is feeling right
I'm able
To release
To let go
without a fight
So inadequate at times I do feel
When not giving time to release and then heal
My emotions end up in turmoil you see
Hurtling all around
inside of me
Having time
Having space
helps to mend
And makes things much easier
for me to transcend
Healthy coping skills

Guitar In The Corner

Your

How Lucky Am I
Debbie Brindley Mar 2018
Your silhouette
against glistening waters
shimmering in the heat
of the sun
My heart dancing
at the beauty
of the vision before me
You have taken
my heart
my soul
  immersed them in colours
I have never known
My love for you
triumphant  
and whole
You have showing me a life
of trust
respect
excitement
pleasure
A life I had never before known
A life where I am free
to love you
without
stigma and decay
A life of unconditional love
So immense
So pleasurable
Even the smallest
of pleasures
seemed so much more
My world
more vibrant
more beautiful  
Because
lifes pleasures
were shared with you  
How lucky am I
to have had you
fall in love
with me

◌⑅●♡⋆♡LOVE♡⋆♡●⑅◌
You have shown me what it is to truly love

A Mothers Love
Debbie Brindley Apr 2017
A Mothers love should run deep
So where the hell are you
Your absence makes me want to weep
I'm not sure what I should do
I've tried to tell you how bad things are but nothing seems to sink in
I know somewhere in there you care
So where do we begin
All I want is what's best for him
To have him happy and keep him home
But his mothers love is also needed
Please don't make me do this on my own
Was feeling a little bit angry/sad
When I wrote this

Loving You
Debbie Brindley May 2018
Where life's headed
I'm not sure

For your illness
has no cure

I can't hide from the world
stay curled up in bed
Gonna grab the bull by its horns
and move forward instead

Fill our world with
warmth
love
cheer
Spend time with
family and friends
people we hold dear

Friends come visit
guitar in hand
to play you harmonious tunes
Afternoons filled with
fun and music
ending all to soon

Family days
stories past and present
lots of chatter
these days always pleasant

Our grandbaby
a little girl
Fills our world
with giggles and sqeals

Most days there's music and laughter
some times we sing and dance
Plus we take you driving
whenever we get the chance

Have to stay positive
make the most
of our time
Don't know what else I can do
but love you with this heart of mine
Love

Sleep Deprived
Debbie Brindley May 2018
9.30 pm
Nice warm shower
then into bed
On my pillow
I rest my head
Close my eyes
hope to sleep
distract my brain
count some sheep
Toss and turn
a hot sweat or two
lay here awake
think of you
Then my dreams
take me away
hope tonight this is where I stay
But now we're up at half 1
felt like sleep had just begun
Your all sorted  
hope you dream
straight to sleep
it does seem
If I sleep instantly
it's a treat
a whole nights sleep
you just can't beat
Next thing I know we're up again
it's half 5 in the morning
Drag my **** out of bed
Can't help myself from yawning
Your sorted
Back in bed
Once again I rest my head
Alarms are ringing
in my ear
Up again with not much cheer
Fruit and meds
I give to you
Then shower you
clean and fresh
I'm half asleep and look a mess
But back to bed
you want to go
It's just us today
so our day can be slow
Our support worker
has cancelled today you see
so I get to climb back into bed
for a more sleep
Yippee
Missing normal nights sleep

Memories Of Yesterday
Debbie Brindley Jun 2018
Music blearing
heat searing
sweaty bodies sway

Festival fever
Music weaver
Watching bands play

In a trance
as we dance
memories of yesterday
Enjoyed many music festivals
over the years

Hollow

Emotional well-being has gone

Wishing for thoughts and feelings of yesterday

Voices In My Head
Debbie Brindley Apr 2017
Please don't hurt me
I don't heal well
Sometimes my heart aches
My mind goes through hell
**** my head is talking
Its voice driving me insane
It's a dull lifeless voice
Just droning in my brain
I close my eyes there's darkness
I don't like being here
I know I'm being stupid
For there's nothing here to fear
I should open my arms and welcome
Not put myself in a cage
Not lock away my anger
For the anger may turn to rage
Great here's that voice again
Drilling into my brain
Please don't drill to deep
For the droning may drive me insane
I close my ears from the world
Stop telling me what to do
I bet if you look at your past
You'll see that you've been here too
Gotta snap out of this sadness
Hee hee here's that voice again
Digging deeper and deeper
Aahh starting to coarse me pain
Gotta get myself together
I wish I knew what to do
Please stop this voice that's in my brain
Much more of this and I'll go insane
Hee hee hee to late
A peom written long ago
