Chances of Me Leaving Home

chances of me leaving home
chances of me donning blues
chances of me wearing a flight suit
chances of me being chosen
     to carry the sports flag
chances of me staying

what chance do I have to find love
chances of living a life apart
     from what I had known

chances of being whistled

5 THE LATE TEENS

the school days are behind me now, they're finished, over, done
it's time to find employment, make some money and have some fun.
there's nothing like the feeling when you get your first weeks pay
but then you start to realize, you're gonna have to pay your way.

my mum asked me for board money, to help with my

Empty

A life moves on
The empty space
A vacancy
The smile missed face

The heartfelt ache
The hopeful joy
Of knowing birds
Must wings deploy

The silent cloak
Of no-one there
Is draped on shoulders
Poised to bear

A voice, a note
Would lift the heart
Small gesture to
The soul impart

Some comfort
In the knowing that
The gloss of memory
Not turned to matte

For vibrant is
The emptiness
Highlighting your
Full presence, yes

And more
Despite the

Leaving Home

My heart went on a roam to explore 
A place far away across the fence bar.
To seize the moment of an open door
Adventure felt free when traveling far.

With turmoil war, work inspired the mind,
There to find, the illusive feign of reason,
an opportunity of age believed to be mine.
A trial of treason was sent for this

Leaving Home

"It's bad,"he said as he looked at the note,
and suddenly I felt a lump in my throat,
"She's gone!" said he,
but all I see,
is the peg that once held her coat.

It Wasn'T Hard To Say Goodbye

It wasn't hard to say goodbye
Until I saw my sister cry
Then so did I 
As we drove away.

It wasn't hard to say chaio 
To the laugh lines in the brow
Of my Dad who showed me how
As his hug wished me to stay

It wasn't hard to say bonjour
To my mother at the door
As our tears started

Leaving Home

Morning, a grey smudge. 
Blurred senses stirring slowly. 
Holding your brown case,
You creep down the creaking stairs,
Lift the clacking latch, then leave.

Leaving Home

leaving home

tell tales of courage
hope and faith my
mind will not hold these
sliding thoughts tonight.

tonight I am afraid
it has been growing
 in my gut all day
 tying myriad knots
like a crazed boy scout.

I am afraid with no surcease
it is paralyzing me 
binding me into the woman
I do not know.

write, write, 
scribble her out
it is my only

Leaving Home

Crying softly in the
back seat, as I
wait for endless greens
woods
farms, cows
to stop.
It’s easier to grieve them
out of sight.

Leaving Home

I can't bear to say goodbye, go back to that place,
All the memories moving out, the rooms empty space,
To see it will make me fall to my knees,
Lord, I miss her so much,  I can barely breathe,
Inside me, a hurricane that can't tame its wind,
When it touches ground, shaking my foundation within,
To put on

Leaving Home

Excitement and joy yet pain
Fearful and so sad yet bliss
A dream to be realised
Boughs bend to the wind

Parents nurture young
Finally freedom to fly
Fledglings spread their wings

He Is Leaving Home

In great respect of the band I grew up listening to
                       as sure as Mom passed down Saturday Chores 
             

Doubts On Leaving Home

How will I know if this day is right for me?
I have waited oh so long to do what needs to be.
But, is the first step, the best thing, for me to do?
How will I be able to know if… all will work out true?

The first day is the hardest, but what will happen if
