Time for a de-clutter , make some room
in drawers and shelves,

These trainers from my glory days
of racing round a track
now swopped for orthopaedic shoes
that help...

“KILLING ME AGAIN”

Once again there is none that may see
anguish and hurt deep inside;
With sparkling tears I’m killing my fears
Removing all shame I try to hide

The voices of doubt run their tirade
as they rage shouting...

Babbling talk of unknown words
Striking precious objects with damaging knocks
Deep cuddles to obtain wishes
Swopped roles for flying trains and planes on tracks
Familiar noises for new things
Questions by noises that are not understood

A gentle eye-rub with...

I received a bag of mystery seeds in the mail
I didn't know what to do with them so,
