I love you
I hate you
I need you
Afraid to love
Afraid to be loved
Push most away
Scared of you
Have many fears
Don’t abandoned me
Tell me you love me
I won’t cry
Shadows always running through my head
Living with this condition
I’ve been given
My head hurts
Don’t judge
Show respect
Nobody’s perfect

For in the yard they
are playing ball.
Around the table
they are eating
their haul.
talking stuff here
and there letting
everyone know that
they are there.
Smoking cigarettes,
cigars and candles
all around careful
where you step as
you might fall down.
Enjoy the fellowship
for it is all around.
Let the feeling show
on your face laugh,
giggle and embrace.
For time fleets by
so fast it does not
seem to last.
Enjoy what you have
for now for soon it
will change somehow.

A quicky i wrote the other morning waiting for the alarm to go off :-)
Tucked up tight, I hope it’s still night
Their all in bed and the silence fills my head
Dread the alarm going, it starts the toing and froing
God there is goes, deafening sound of my wows
Clatter, Bang, that will be the young man
Screams to wake the dead, that’s the daughter out of bed
Oh well time to get up, and give them both a shake up
I Tip toe on my way into another new day

Do you miss me through the shadow of darkness, I can see you but i'm blinded by our love, things that i do take for granted by one should always be appreciated.
Our love was strong but now that we're apart all the memories are always there, locked up inside of deep emotion i wonder what will happen to us. I've been hurt so who do i learn to no and trust, draws like a magnet to each of us deviding two worlds apart through the power and strength of love.
What direction shall i follow will it be the right or wrong there is only one past way to choose.

My first love was the woman who held me close to her breast,
through my early days she always made sure I was near,
then as I grew, I am sure to her I did dearly test,
in my youth I was that unholy cross to bear,
Then as my maturity grew and lifes experiences took its toll,
more siblings along the way to make the family,
my nature was always that of a wandering soul,
3 brothers and 2 sisters, so much rivalry,
Off I went to find my own destiny in this world,
no matter where I went or how I fared this woman always cared,
some places have memories which I never want to have unfurled,
after a score of years I returned, she held me close as if I have
always been there,
The years have quickly moved along and age shows its face,
this other man, this woman loved , I was never jealous,
for she loved this man so humbly and full of grace,
she built a life and filled the home full of love like a trellis,
It was 17th September 2010 a day never to forget,
this man was ill and so near to death, but he waited,
this woman rushed to his side and listened carefully to his last
breath,
with a smile she kissed his cheek, tears streaming unabated,
We all knew that he held on because of his catholic breviary,
This woman said in a quiet tone full of passion he waited for me,
For today was to be our 63rd Anniversary,
and one day again together we will be,
And now this woman still so proud and strong,
at 82 and beginning to become slightly frail,
and my love for her will always belong,
for is she is my mother and her love for me will never fail.

I call for my mother
Crying, shouting frozen in place
Its dark, no one answers
I’m scared, I need help
I see my father
Next to me
He fills the bed
His back towards me
I can smell him
Hairy broad
This comforts me
I feel safe
I am awake
Not scared anymore

For in your family
the man is lower then
the women you see.
For they take care
of all her needs.
She is in charge of
all that she sees.
She is the ruler that
is just the way it
is to be.
This her castle for
her family.
She is the one that
says yes or no to thee.
