"My Brother"- (follows yesterday's poem-She Had No Say.)

He was the sparkle in my father's eye--- for a few brief moments in time. He was the product of my mother's sigh--- and he was that Brother-of mine! He was the sibling-of our two older sisters--- but somebody came between! He was my 'Big Brother' but they came--- and took him right away from me! For... Sign in to see full entry.

Najwa---

"She Had No Say" (Written during my therapy.)

She was not 'chosen' or 'selected', who would want her-a 'scabby' thing--- spawned from a slut! A scrawny, neglected 'runt' - an 'afterthought'. Head shaven bald, through lice and ringworm--- body covered in weeping sores but--- she was the sister of the others that were born! I picture the Baby's... Sign in to see full entry.

"Poor Emily"

Thanks for all your welcome comments! I'm back from a w/e by the river. Poor Emily! The wind was howling round the boat--- and she reached out to grab--- what she thought was the safety rope--- but---it was just the flag! It let her down--of course it moved--- and she fell in the river! Out she... Sign in to see full entry.

"A Boy's Christmas Prayer"

Hope you don't mind my bringing Christmas in-early.This one may be a little difficult to read? While orl' the werld be sleeping-nor e'en a mouse do stir--- I lay lonely-weeping-yon shedows jest a blur! I 'eard tell Santa cums this night-ter ivery lass an' lad--- but 'ere I am and 'e'll no cum-cos... Sign in to see full entry.

"Back through the Past"

I wrote this in the early days of my therapy. I don't quite know how-but I've travelled there-back through the past-- down the highways and byways of 'time'. Lifted lids-opened doors and drawers and peeped inside-and squirmed and reeled at all the 'mess' I found! The seething, moulten mass-spewed... Sign in to see full entry.

"Lonliness"

Another one of my "oldies"-- still stirrs my heart. The waters were stirred and I felt the pain of lonliness -- pleading voices-faces blirred-stifled screams. I drifted-heart bleeding-Soul filled with emptiness -- living a lifetime-on my dreams. Skin touching skin-the body recoiled but met it's... Sign in to see full entry.

"The Storm"

Years ago I worked for the railway-operating the Level Crossing Gates.My shift was night shift - I worked from a little hut on the crossing - opening and closing the gates for the traffic! The wind is screaming - shrill and wild, I feel just like a baby child! My collar raised I hug the stove - with... Sign in to see full entry.

"Alfred" -(another 'oldie')-it's how I used to sustain myself.

I curse the space that hangs between and try to fill it to the brim! I do whatever I can do - to help me free my mind - of you! But now and then, when all is hushed - my mind just dwells on us! I rush about from A to B - looking busy constantly. Cleaning this and buying that - the wrong sized shoes... Sign in to see full entry.

"My Quiet Hour"

One of my 'oldies'. This is my quiet hour, when I can be alone - to think my thoughts, to write my verse, to simply feel - at home! To expel all my feelings - to air my addled brain - to clarify my muddled thoughts, to put ME right again! Our home is just a building - so full of everything, no space... Sign in to see full entry.
