A letter to you...
For fourteen years
all that I was known
was that I had a mother
I didn't know of.
And all I knew of her
was her name.
Then there came that day
when I was told of you both
but only because of her,
because she made a decision
to tell me so.
So, now I take this time
to write you both this letter.
A letter to you both,
to my brother and to my sister
who I just came to heard of,

Your Meaningless Love
If I asked you if you loved me
would you mean every word you spoke.
If I asked you if you thought of me
- your distant child-
would I find that special moment
when you thought of me so dearly.
But if you ask me if I loved you
there wouldn't be any words
that could express my feelings
I have towards you, just silence in reply.
And if you asked me if I thought of you,
you would see tear...

Mother
She’s a fading flower
Not nearly as bright as she used to be
Though now she shines in a different way
Though she always shines to me
She’s filled with determination,

She’s stubborn,

The day I can’t do my shopping
Is the day I’m finished, she says.
And she eyes me with disdain

Ode To Eva
You are sunkissed hair
All seaside skin
The tomboy princess
Scraped knees, bruised shins.
A tree climbing angel
My hide and seek belle
All beauty and promise
Like an old wishing well.
Such a natural leader
As you're learning and growing
You shine like a beacon
So head strong and knowing.
Bringing joy in abundance
As I watch you develop

She screams
A sound that penetrates
The hearts of all around.
She breaks
Her heart explodes
She crumbles to the ground.
A child
Her childhood stolen
With the burst of a pea.
Her mother
Gone forever, gone
Her brain not meant to be.
What now?
The love stops here
A cry for help.
Don't leave
Come back to her
The child needs yo...
