Poetry Pieces

Here's where you'll find my poetry works. Now, I am by no means the Bard of Barnsley, that title is reserved for one person and one person only (and rightly so at that) but I use poetry as a therapy session. I express my thoughts and feelings into words which I find so relaxing and helpful.

So here I am, baring my soul.

Enjoy!

To My Mother

You had me at hello

And I was in love.

You're gentle hands

And soothing kisses,

Told me I was safe.

You are my mum.

Navigating the world

Each step a journey

To a new destination.

As time and time

Wove on and on

Until we were kindred.

Mother and daughter.

Conflicts, words in anger.

Clipping my wings

Holding tight to my strings.

Smothered, I hissed.

Protector you said,

Words missed.

People change in time.

Level pegging.

Wisdom passed

Between us.

What could have been

What still could be.

We talked, smiled

Two dreamers.

A new chapter begins.

You saw me say yes,

It feels like time is

Of no consequence

But

You had other plans

Though you weren't aware.

Time is but a thief.

2022 became 2026.

The feelings have changed

As time heals.

Though you live on

In my thoughts

Words,

Actions.

You are my mum.
