Suitcase (poem)

Posted on December 4, 2024 | Leave a comment

Round and round

Where did mine go?

Majority black

Going oh so slow!

Round and round

Where did mine go?

There it is!

Bright yellow!

Journal – an acrostic poem

Posted on October 22, 2024 | Leave a comment

Jotting down thoughts

One thought at a time

Using the words as therapy

Relating the tale helps

Nothing to hide

Always honest

Love how the words reveal the truths the eyes don’t see

The Scent of Summer (poem)

Posted on October 1, 2024 | Leave a comment

If I could bottle the scent of summer

It would start with the smell of the ocean

The saltiness dancing in the early morning air.

If I could bottle the scent of summer

It would be the smell of sunscreen tinged with sand,

A gritty coconut aroma.

If I could bottle the scent of summer

It would be the tantalising smell of pizza

With a whiff of a side of fries.

If I could bottle the scent of summer

It would be smores and ice cream

With a lingering hint of BBQ long since devoured.

Oceanic Healing (poem)

Posted on July 29, 2024 | Leave a comment

Each wave soothes my hurt

Each wave that caresses my feet soothes my soul

Each grain of sand between my toes helps to fill the cracks in my heart

The sun’s rays bring new warmth back into my heart

The solitude of the ocean allows my broken body and soul peace and time to heal

Each wave crashing in on the shore pulls away the layers of pain and hurt and anger.

Each wave restores me just that little bit more.

The enormity of the ocean teaches me that there’s a vast world out there on the horizon 

The pull of the waves against my legs reminds me that I am strong 

The beach, the ocean…they are teaching me that it’s OK to feel alive and happy again

Angel (acrostic poem)

Posted on June 25, 2024 | 1 comment

A new day

New opportunities to heal

Growing stronger each day

Edging herself back out into the world

Learning to live again

Beginnings – an acrostic poem

Posted on January 1, 2024 | Leave a comment

Breathe…it’ll be ok

Each new day another step forwards

Go cautiously. Go boldly. Just GO!

Insecurities running riot within

Nothing to be gained by looking backwards

New life adventures lie ahead

Initial fears scream in my head

Noise I don’t need to listen to

Girl, you’ve got this

Stride out towards the sun

Pawprints

Posted on September 26, 2023 | Leave a comment

You looked up into my eyes and I knew it was time.

I cradled you as my heart started to crumble.

Selfishly I wanted…needed…more time,

But my head spoke louder than my heart in the end.

As the drugs coursed through your tiny veins,

I stroked your dark head, still so soft.

I told you I loved you.

My heart broke as you slipped peacefully away.

My tears fell as you left your final tiny pawprints tattooed on my heart.

(Sioux  4 Nov 2004 – 6 Sep 2023)

Red Berries (poem)

Posted on August 15, 2023 | Leave a comment

Reminders that summer is passing

Evenings are getting darker

Days, although they don’t feel it, are getting shorter

Berries of all colours Nature’s reminders

Everything comes to an end

Reminders that summer is passing

Reminders that seasons must change

Indian summer anyone? I’ll live in hope

Ever hopeful for just a little more of summer’s warmth

Seasons come and seasons go…

I AM…. (poetry blog)

Posted on July 17, 2023 | 2 comments

I am tired of feeling sad.

I am tired of feeling low.

I am tired of feeling broken.

I am tired of feeling useless.

I am tired of feeling lost.

I am tired of feeling anxious.

I am tired of feeling worried.

I am tired of feeling scared.

I am tired of feeling fear.

I am tired of feeling the need to be strong.

I am tired of feeling.

I am tired.

I am….

Inner Flame (poem)

Posted on June 12, 2023 | Leave a comment

Deep inside the flame burns quietly.

It flickers and dances as emotions fly by.

Some days its dim as reality takes its toll.

Some days it dances momentarily bright.

Even on the darkest of days its still there safe inside.

I nurture and treasure its warmth,

The heart of my soul at its core.

All that I am wrapped up within it.

Buried deep inside the light is me, the real me,

Tucked away safely,

Protected from reality,

Tended with love and patience,

Until the day comes when the flame can blaze brightly once more.
