"My Friend"

I wrote this back in 1990.My friend is still doing wonders with her Son. I have a friend who has a child-who's little body was defiled. She's managed now for ten whole years and never once-shown me her tears! Sometimes I know-she screams and shouts and all but tares her own hair out--- but she's... Sign in to see full entry.

"To My Biological Parents"

Where were you-as I entered this strange place? No g reeting-no wonderment-no joyfull smiling face. I could have been a broken seabird-being carried by the tide-- a piece of driftwood-a leaf chancing a ride-upon the wind-- a feather-that fell into a stream-- just a fragment of a broken, shattered...

"The Tragic Drama Queen"

How could she have let life cheat her so? Remove the colours, red and green and gold. Take away her innocence-return it when she was old? Leave her standing-chained and cold and bare-- with just a shrouded glare? She did not want their eyes to see the pain-- so deeply travelled throughout every... Sign in to see full entry.

To My Friend Fred.

There are many ways that I have 'grown'-many changes I have made. Old habits that we both have known-do not apply today. No longer do I bow and scrape-in a childlike way to please. No more 'conditions' will I take-I want to just be 'me'. When we came together-all those years ago-- we each had broken... Sign in to see full entry.

"My Black Day"

Today is my BLACK DAY--I really don't know why-- but all I want to do today-is sit and cry! Maybe it's the weather-the evenings drawing in? Even during daylight-the skies look pretty dim. The malaise that's engulfed me-will only stay awhile-- then I will be able to-relax and wear a smile. So... Sign in to see full entry.

"Three Times The Season"

I sometimes wonder if you all get 'fed up' with reading my old stuff-from therapy? I try to pop in the occasional 'newbies'.When writing this poem-I felt that I had reached a calm,peaceful place within myself-for the first time in my life! I naively believed that I had almost completed therapy-when... Sign in to see full entry.

"Contemplation"

Some while back,I was talking about my Grandaughter's eczema,with my therapist and this poem followed that session! Now I find myself parked up in a long-winding-leafy green lane--- together in my solitude-crying for the little girl with the pain of eczma-inside. That once was me-yet I thought I'd...

"Woolstreet House"

My therapist was moving house-so the venue for our sessions-were to change. I enter this room-this 'sanctuary'-the caretaker of my Soul-for the last time! The 'closed' fireplace-the mantleshelf-the little blue clock-will stay in my mind.Life and knowledge stand alert in readiness on their... Sign in to see full entry.

"I Met The Baby Inside"

My therapist says-each time we 'go back' we are doing so from a different angle and this particular day---I met the baby within me. Today I travelled far and deep inside again--- raked amongst the ashes and the roots. I never really thought that I would find remains--- but 'never' is not listed in... Sign in to see full entry.

"The Black Sheep"

I am the black sheep of the family-- every finger points to me. Every word I've ever spoken-- stirrs their anger and emotions! They paint themselves the purest shade of white-- and only cause me griefe and pain. But I have worked in therapy-- and know that I'm not ALL to blame! But STILL they say...
