Why Worry
I worry about everything, all of the day
I worry about everything, all I do and say
Does it matter if I am not strong?
Do I really care if I get it wrong?
Not really! no-one gives a stuff either way

I worry too much
I worry every moment
of every single day
about everything I do
and everything I say
I wish I was brave enough
to sometimes get it wrong
without fear of criticism
be confident and strong
For a moment I convince myself
no-one cares anyway
promptly returning to my worries
for the remainder of the day

RIP Poppy
My house is so full of empty spaces
where you used to eat, sleep and be
My days are now full of silence
because you are not here with me
My thoughts are full of worry
was it too soon to say goodbye
My eyes are still full of tears
I hope you didn't see me cry
My body is full of loneliness
you were my companion to the end
My memory is full of good times

Tuning In
Can you hear me
on this crowded
frequency?
Is the earth turning
to quicksand
beneath your feet?
Let poetic music
drown the chaos,
set your spirit free.
No more worries.
Only peace,
love, harmony...

Words of You
Searching for you
You’re the word
On the tip of my tongue
- tip - tip – tick – tock
You’re the face on my clock
Yes!
You’re the catch in my breath
Like if I was to cough
Words of you
Would just tumble out
Like if I was to shout
Words of you
Would just rumble out
You’re built into my skull
You’re the clutch over my brain
You’re running through my veins

Sleeping through earthquakes
If I am your world
with my head lying on your chest,
then is the b-beat b-beating tectonic plates?
Is your heart safely caged?
Can I lift my head or will you break?
You are the love between my legs.
You are my love, between my legs.
Are you the birthmark on my flesh?
It beats: s-stay s-stay...
Is your heart safely caged?

If Only I Could Take Alan's Advice
And the line from that song is my reassurance in life
That all is ok and alright and live now
and then I just watch as unbidden
I spiral back around and then I'm lost and then I'm here
Can't I just go just let go just calm down
Can't I just watch and listen and live in my round
And here it is, my mind is just unsound
Burdened by my future that is running afoul
It's not a ...

Fear and Worry
You want to let it go
then let her go
she has her life
and it is quite clearly without you
...........for the time being
Are you frightened of becoming
like your mother?
Hated by the daughter?
Never speaking or giving her the time of day?
Then, I wish you well my dear
Fear is your teacher
and worry your god
I fear for you
and worry for your future
as you do not yet know
what i...

I see why love is red.
I can’t tell you.
But last night, you entered my chest
for play, some kind of game, like ‘Operation’
and then I couldn’t sleep
I jolted – shivered – jerked – quirked,
now my eyes don’t close
and my body is a pulse,
you tiptoed across my ribcage,
leaving foot prints enlaced by landmines,
you slept on my lungs,
short wired my arteries,
you clipped the circuits of my ...
