Do I love you?
Of course I do!
But the fact remains:
I love me more!

Paraffin
A poem from 2018
Set me alight
To burn through the night
Make me pretty
To add to my witty
Let me glide
With you by my side
Let’s drive away
Every lovely day

Your Eyes
A poem from 2018
Sometimes I see a hint of madness in your eyes
And it scares me so much
I am afraid that one day
You will no longer be you

Becoming An Adult
A poem from 1995
Where am I?
And what am I doing there?
Do I want to stay?
Where could I go?
And what is the use?
Who goes with me?
Growing up is a lonely thing
Who would do it by choice?
An innocence lost which we never had
The thought slowly dawns
The reality sinks in
Oh this is great!
(exclamation of disgust and mock surprise)

Heart of Gold
A poem from 2018
“All I have left is trees and champagne”
A reminder of you to dull the pain
For now there are tears but I'll see you again
You were one in a million
Kindness personified
Your goodness reaping rewards
Your body rotting in the ground
And all I have left is trees and champagne
And all I have left is heartache and pain
A reminder of your absence, my darling
(Quote from Dame Judi Dench)

Cuttlefish
A poem from 2018
All things to all men
Now you see me
Now you don't
Sending off warning signals
Shoots you, sir
This survival instinct
It's dog eat dog out there
A food chain
A pecking order
Know your place
Just let me pass on my DNA
And then I'm outta here

Ten Commandments
A poem from 2018
Do not
I'm gonna!
Do not
Try to stop me!
Do not
Pffft!
Do not
Up yours!
Do not
Get lost!
Do not
Bite me!
Do not
Back off!
Do not
Get stuffed!
Do not
Shut up!
Do not
Leave me alone!
