Teacher
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong
A teacher....
Teach your students colors,shapes, letters, numbers, teach them about life, and now keep them safe from guns
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong, remember you are a teacher
Teach your students to not be afraid, yet in your heart you know the world is again...

Good Night
The gentle tingle of your electric finger down my spine
The wistful sigh of warm breath
The glow of deep soft lamplight and the
Caress of fresh clean sheets.
You tangle yourself up in me.
Our fingers twirl playfully, our heartbeats
In rhythm. Ba doom, ba doom.
I feel a trickle of uncomfortable sweat down my clavicle, but the thereness outweighs my overheating body.

Safe
on the roof hawk chicks
secure at
twenty-three
floors high
nestle their mother
under bright sun
watching
the male soar
free to hunt,
enquiring amber eyes seeing
colours we can't
no
flames
disturb the
eyrie no
screams ascend or
smoke black as
seventy-one funerals

Safe
Battle-hardened Sister Yvonne
Missed nothing
Double-checking mask, visor, gown
Everything.
Colleagues, even
Consultants, relied on her to pin-point
Gaps in their armoury.
If anyone was safe from patients
She was.
After her shift last night she
Clocked off and
Walking to her car
Got hit by a taxi taking home a patient.
Reliable to the end
She did not troubl...

A Sense of Security
Once left in solitary
now locked indefinately.
What had seemed safe
now rubbing the chains,
giving a bitter chafe.
At one point safety felt so free
the stray rescued is me
saved from the streets,
locked in a kennel til he meets.
The security was once appreciated
arms fastened at the glove
an anchor disguised as warmth and love.
this love can never be broken

Arrive Alive
Road crashes are every minute
Here and there, in every point
More than a million killed a year
And speed is death, no doubt
“Drive Safely” is only choice
ٍSafety belt, has no "price"
Come back safe for the family
We live "once", not twice
Road is not real excuse
But the behavior is a main cause
For crashes all over that world
No more anger .. no abuse

Obsessed With You
I'm addicted to, all the
Things you do. The way
You look at me, make me
Breathe. I can face this now,
With you I now know how.
Your words enlighten me,
Your eyes, they help me see,
I've never felt this free.

Blue moon
Eyes open as it must be reality
The mind settles as the sun sets
Allowing creative thoughts to surface
Glowing blue
In the sky I see you
Blue moon
You Appear with no sadness
Beauty in the sky
black out curtains
surrounding the moon
Fluoresces light
Still pressing through
allowing me to dream
On this beautiful night
Big and blue
