BURLAP and SATIN

Texture fine, woven design
Like harden tree sap
Rough is the burlap!!!
That's at my finger tips
Smooth is soft the satin as silk
The dress rapped around her waist

Burlap and satin

Give me such touch my reactions
Hard rough...

Maybe I’ll get it right this time

When I first met you
You were the really nice lady next door
But then...

Here I am

a voodoo doll

made from rags

of what is left

filled with organic lavnder

of what once was

squashed between two palms

without a lifeline


I  am here

whilst you are there

beneath our waxing moon

embroidering my heart

with mourning cross-stitch


'I don't...

Ben,our springer,brown & white
Was our teen-daughter's delight;
Bred by the famous Shand-Kydd
Causing us to part with fifty quid.

He soon grew,chewing lino & chairs
Forever racing up our stairs;
We'd no idea what he would become
This stress-filled harum-scarum.

I am a cross-stitch masterpiece.
Seen perfect in front, inside a frame;
But messed up and intricate behind.
(You are made beautiful but there is the reality 
that life isn’t perfect with your troubles and battles in it.)

I used to have these memories
it's like they'd write themselves
sowing me into scenes I never remembered being in
A cross stitch hostage with 
my eyes flashing against the midnight black
it's the time when the blood is...

Making quilts is difficult, you might think you’re clever too
but there’s all the thought and preparation, that you have to do,

My Nana is special
My Nana's so nice
When it comes to sewing,
she doesn't think twice
She's a wizard with a needle
she could sew the night away
Crochet you a blanket and have it 
warming your lap almost the...

Cross has many meanings and symbols in everyday life
It can be described as a facial expression of distaste or strife
To cross someone, a person hurts others for their own sake

I am an opsemath and proud so to be
in a search for new learning I'd like a degree,
Knowledge is power so my thinking is plain
that learning's like fish; it's food for the brain,
I like to...

Words come to mind
As pain breeds find


Mad can be sad
Who can be glad?


Thoughts bleached in mist
Strain seeds odd twist


In a swift swirl
What's with the world?


Sounds in clear pitch
Speak in strange glitch


Raw nerves feel strain

Crosses and x's burns and hexes 

Thread and rope nooses and cross stitch

Thread of time yet to unwind, to release the sands of time

Turn the hour glass to its side and hope to save some...

Under a  trellis of vines, quite evergreen
This elegant, old lady sits on a wooden porch,
Her veined fingers twist in graceful motion
Kneading  hued  threads from  silken yarn;
As weaves of cross-stitch  unfurl...
