Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Like Mother like Daughter
You will always hold a special place in my heart
There is an invisible bond we have that will alway set us apart
See although the days of tip toeing in your high heels are gone
with the drawings of you as a stick person standing beside in crayon.
The memories of putting your makeup all over my face
See some things however long gone never erase
Those moments when i refused to let go and kept a tight grasp on your hands.
And the memories of you holding my belly as i tried to swim with armbands.
Its these memories as we grow that we hold dear
That are kept alive in our minds and never disappear
As i look back at those memories, i always wanted to be just like you mum
Little did i know as i grew that would happen in time to come.
See those times you told me off for being too close to the tv
I now tell those little ones around me if they do that they will have square eyes to see.
Those times where you sent me to bed for not eating my tea
Back then i thought you were unfair but now i agree.
The worry you felt when i stayed out and didn't keep in touch
I understand that worry now and how it isn't a bit too much.
See when i was a teenager i thought you just loved to nag
Thought you wanted my life to be such a drag!
Turns out i couldn't have been more wrong
As you just wanted what was best for me all along.
Now i am a young woman myself and try to guide children the right way
I realise i'm just a chip of the ole block standing here today.
See you hold a special place because without you i’d be lost
Without your guidance who knows what paths i would have crossed.
You're the one person who has been there since i entered the world
As i stood there in my little dresses with my hair tightly curled.
You're the one person who from the get go has been my angel here on earth
Without your love and guidance i wouldn't know my worth.
Everything i am and have been i owe to you my mum
I hope i become half the women you are , in the future that's yet to come
As then I know there will be anything that i can overcome.
See your not just my mum but you're also my best friend
Someone who i will always depend.
You're strong, and beautiful on the inside and out
The best mum i could have ever have wished for without a doubt
You're honestly an angel in disguise and a true gift from above.
my one true love.

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Time to heal
By Lady Arabella
They say with time the pain becomes less
In a world full of chaos , hurt and lies it became such a mess
Sometimes you don’t want to give up and walk away
But sometimes forgiveness can’t happen when things don’t change and you always stay
They say sometimes you don’t realise what you had until is gone
Sometimes you know in your heart you can’t take anymore and it’s just done
It doesn't mean you wish them bad or Ill
But sometimes recognising they are not the person you thought is a bitter pill
They say time heals wounds which have been caused
That time gives you opportunities to take a step back and pause
That with time the perception of pain can be altered
That time gives you Awhile with self, and permission to be faltered ,
Sometimes the brain knows what the heart does not wish to admit
It’s a question of How much more can you and will you permit
And the answer to that question is no more
Because I deserve someone who respects me and means what they say that’s for sure
There’s something about disrespect you just can’t move past
No matter how much you may have wanted things to last
Sometimes what we feel isn’t what we deserve
It all comes down to understanding your worth
And for me I know I’m a queen who deserves a king
Not someone who lies , continues to hurt and is a vehicle to everything
Someone who will let anyone get in and take a ride
Someone who doesn’t believe in themselves
Or has self pride
Someone who thinks it’s okay to treat you any less
Someone who will never recognise what you offer is the best
So right now I need time to heal the hurt they have caused
As When I think of the person I once loved, I shudder , tremble, and know now those feelings must be paused.
I was never going to accept or allow anything less
But if they are willing to then it will be on their time not mine and I wish them nothing but the best.

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Healing Is Messy
Healing is messy, it’s not linear
Sometimes things in your mind are not always clear
One day you’re great and everything makes sense
The next day you’re drowning and the feelings become too intense
Emotional healing isn’t like a physical wound you see
Sometimes it just appears when you thought you was free
Maybe a trigger , a word, an action ,or circumstance
Can 180 your actions and change your stance
Healing is messy, it’s not as black and white
But you’ve got to have faith that everything will be alright
You’ve got to remember why you need to heal
Sometimes what we deserve is greater than how we feel
You’ve got to accept that the past needs to lie
No matter how much that may hurt and make you cry
Sometimes the things we hold onto aren’t worth the pain
But it takes a while for the heart to catch up to the brain
Healing is messy but then again so is life
Full of beauty , yet full of strife
Healing is messy and it’s okay if right now it doesn't make sense
Just remember how far you’ve come from the past to the present tense

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Awaken My Soul
By Rebecca Dominique Morris
Touch me and kiss me with gentle lips
Run my hair through your fingertips
Listen when I’m silent to the words I don’t speak
It’s more than just lust that I seek
Understand me in ways no one else does
Awaken my soul ,let me feel that buzz
Realise I won’t always express how I feel
But also that I’ve only just learnt to heal
Emerge yourself in your feelings embrace the fear and don’t be scared
After All these kind of things were meant to be shared
Awaken my soul but only if you intend to stay
All I ask is for loyalty and you to not stray
Communicate your needs as my ears are open wide
Allow me to forget all the tears before I’ve cried
Awaken my soul let the passion burn
Embrace me and give to me that of which my body yearns
Let our body’s intertwine in the dead of night
Let dawn break and it go on until daylight
Awaken my soul , watch the embers burn
Allow me to live , allow me to learn
Give me passion , tell me your desires
Awaken my soul ,set it on fire
Just like a candle let the flame flicker
Go slow ,then let the pace get quicker
See me bare and fully unmasked
Awaken my soul , without me having to ask

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Happy Ever After
By Rebecca Dominique Morris
Two hearts entwined
Two souls aligned
Two people that now are one
On a journey that has only just begun
A life together full of joy and laughter
Your very own story and happy ever after
Two lovers who crossed paths at the right time
Two people who overcome the mountains they had to climb
A true love story that is in the mists of being written
That would have remained untold if not so smitten
A story that began with the touch of each others hands
Fate always ensures god’s plans
Two lovers caught in a gaze
Destiny enabled love to shine through in many ways
A joy brought to each other’s lives
A relationship that will continue to thrive
Two people who stand here today
Showing commitment ,love and honour on their wedding day
Two lovers who will continue to grow
And reap the love in which they sow
Two hearts that now beat together
Two souls that will always endeavour
Two people who were made for each other
One who is now a husband not just a brother
So here we all stand today
To bear witness to your wedding day.
And now as husband and wife
Here's to happy ever after for the rest of your life.

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Music is the dance of life
By lady Arabella
Reggae , soul, soco , pop,punk and rock
Listening to the beat of music which makes your body drop and lock
The freedom it brings as it flows
As the baseline drops and you just let go
The story line it can tell as you listen to the lyrics
The concept and relation conceived as beyond- metempirics
Music is the dance of life
Amongst many us in this world it’s one similarity that is rife
Hip hop, electro, jazz and rhythm and blues
Music allows everyone to walk in someone else’s shoes
As the rhythm flows
So do our souls
As the pace of the tempo goes slow and then gets quicker
Hearts can race and your feet like a flame begin to flicker
Music is the dance of life
In a world so consumed with trouble and strife
It brings people together and accompanies others like Homophony
A euphoria that for self can think you have Autophony
Music is the dance of life no matter how far you wander or where you may go
With music in life there’s always a way to two-step into tomorrow
music is the dance of life that can create the foundations of a new dynamic
Regardless of peoples demographics

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Moving On
By Lady Arabella
Was it hard? She asked
Moving on from the past?
“Yes” I replied, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do
It’s never easy letting go of the things that once meant something to you
But..I couldn’t stay stuck in the ‘what ifs’ and what had gone
So there came a point where I had to learn to let go and move on
At first it was painful and terribly hard to see the road ahead and I felt lost inside
I sat and pondered a while, went back and forth and then took some time to decide
And that’s when I realised, I had a choice if I remained where I was or a choice to move on
I reflected and what had happened could not be changed or undone
So Even though there were Words left unspoken and no apology given to help forgive
And there were times I sat and questioned if things could be different, I soon realised that was no way to live
There was nothing more I had left to give
So, as time passed and the pain and hurt became a little less
It became clearer the what ifs didn’t matter and I had to move forward to progress
So “yes” it was hard but I had to start putting myself first
And in that moment I was taught the importance of self-worth
So “yes” I replied it was hard moving on from the past
But my dear Somethings are sent to teach you so you grow and are not meant to last

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Lies , deceit and hurt
By Lady Arabella
I once thought you would never do me wrong again
I had little faith as it was or trust in men
You took my insecurities and used them against me
Now I’m sat here questioning why I was too blind to see
You’d threaten and take from me all I was proud to have in life
You didn’t just stab me in the back with your knife
I always supported you and was there when you needed me to be
Yet I’m the one sat here wondering how you could do this to me
You don’t say sorry or even acknowledge what you’ve done
I may as-well have loaded the bullets myself in the gun
I forgave you once when you played me like a fool
And still was a friend to you ..how could you actually be so cruel?
In all your mistakes I’ve always been there and supported you
Checked in when your down like friends are supposed to do
But you used and took advantage of that and led me down a winding path
I hope at the expense of my feelings and pain you’ve had a good laugh
Lies , deceit and hurt that’s all that’s left
I’m the one picking up the pieces yet still wish you the best
I wish I could purposely hurt you like you hurt me
But you know that’s not who I will ever be
Lies , deceit and hurt and yet you don’t even care
How is that even fair ?
You may have taught me a lesson which I needed to learn
But you didn’t have to hurt me on purpose in return
I always tried to understand you and figure you out
Now all that’s left is nothing but doubt
Did you even mean the words you said?
So many questions left in my head
Lies , deceit and hurt yet I thought you had changed
I wish years ago we would have become estranged
The saddest part is if I knew what I do now
You know full well I’d have said no worries and worked it out some how
I would have supported you no matter what and always been there
Because even without your love as a person for you I still cared
My loyalty ran that deep I just wanted you to be happy and for you to smile
If only for a little while
You didn’t have to do what you have done
But I hope in the game you played you had fun
Lies deceit and hurt
I never deserved that
To be blamed for something you lack
When it was you all along who was playing a game
Why was it me who you tried to blame ?
Lies deceit and hurt
Nothing but disconcert
But don’t worry without your apology I’m doing just fine
Sooner or later someone had to draw that line

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
Memories in boxes
By lady Arabella
As I sit here and go through all the boxes I’ve made
Each one holds a memory which time cannot fade
From old school reports that showed all I could be
To lessons learnt at times when red flags I couldn’t see
From cards of love and poems of sorrow
From past , to present and things of tomorrow
Each picture , each item, each card , each gift or each moment I’ve saved
Holds memories of who I was , who i am and the path I’ve now paved
How far I’ve come , the ups and downs I’ve endured
Put away in boxes , frozen in time and then stored
At the age of 7 I would dance and took exams for tap , jazz and ballett
Go on great holiday to Skegness with my family in a chalet
At the age of 8 teachers said I took lead on discussion and knew how to communicate
Hard working and popular , determined to try ,improve and never late
They also said i was very talkative and needed to learn when to speak
As there approval at times during lessons I did not seek
At the age of 9 I had my first poem published in the local news
Was excited each year as I got new kickers as school shoes
At the age of 10 I became a member of tameside crucial crew
That’s around the time I played football for a boys team too
At the age of 11 I moved to Fairfield high school for girls
Had frizzy hair and embraced my natural curls
By the time I was 12 I was playing football for my schools team
And Training with tameside school of excellence and young enough to dream
By 13 I was awarded pupil of the week and my fav subject was history
Listening to the radio , or my hand held Walkman obviously the station was kisstory
By 14 I was achieving academic awards at the end of year in ceremonies which took place
For progress in religious studies and mathematics once I decided to up the pace
By the age of 15 I became a peer counsellor and prefect
Oh and got bullied how could I forget
By the time I left I exceed expectations got 1 A* , 3As , 3 Bs 4Cs and 1 D
Resistant materials what use is that anyways, see
the point is I’ve got memories in boxes which marks each place
In this life of mine
Each one represents my timeline
I often reflect and look back to see how far I’ve come
How I could have been just anyone
But I’m not I’m me and there isn’t anyone the same
And my memories in boxes remind me that, even if it’s lame!
My friend is right somethings I don’t need to hold onto
Regardless with who
As some of those people are now part of my past
Not everything is made to last
So as I clear out my boxes and throw things away
It’s to make more room for new memories as tomorrow is more than today
It’s time to say goodbye to things I once held close
As they no longer mean the most

Rebecca Dominique Morris Poem
What I’d give to hear you say I love you
Just one more time
By Rebecca Dominique morris
What I’d give to hear you say I love you just one more time
To spend even just a few more hours and make those memories mine
What I’d give to just hear your voice and you call me sweetheart like you did
To be able to just express all these emotions I feel
God forbid
What id give to hear you call me princess and say goodnight
To have no darkness and only have light
What I’d give to turn back the clock
And for it to be my front door not heavens where you next knock
They say time is precious and once you lose it you can never get it back
Memories , videos, pictures and songs on repeat but more time, we lack
There was still so much for us to say and there wasn’t enough time
The road ahead now long and a hard climb
How could you leave us behind ?
Because please tell me how I even say goodbye, to someone who has been with me my whole life
Who should ,but now won’t see me become a mother or a wife
God ,What id give for everything to be All okay and fine
And just hear you tell me you love me, please just one more time.
