My Own Valentine
Single sadness, heart rendered madness, External walls lay like a shawl across my blocked shoulders of sworded sacrifice, To entice another, would discern a lover from a long-term partner, Neither are on the cover as the ten of hearts discovered, I feel smothered with splashings of romantic gestures, I run and hide from strides in…

The Exchange
Support in exchange for sex yeah?,I’ll administer the sinister,Tied up, all fired up,A lapdance for the first man who sings my praises, Derails and entails baiting me, to date me within misplaced feelings of connection, a concoction of love bombing, control longing, Co-dependent conning to nail me down in every sense of the word to…

Wandering Withdrawals
I always feel better once I express my lottery letters of Editors pick of the day asquality time alone ruined by rapid speaking of the Serenity Prayer, debonair in it’s dressed up distraction, my hearts palpitations reach its caffeine climax, I seek fellowship in lip to lip service,sensory souls fold pleats in my mould,An audio…

Grateful Greta
Grappling with gracious gratitude, My attitude has improved since taking a break, Like a stake through the heart of a Love Avoidant ❤, the How Programme became an antagonistic ointment for my needs, Exposing my fear, guilt and perfectionism to dangerous extents, it sent my system into overdrive, Lithe in aesthetics, phonetics pleasing to the…

Endeavour
I’m on a Secret Endeavour to create something clever from a plethora of hidden talents. Manifesting as the days go by, tuning into a lullaby which represents all those times I’ve kept it small, afraid to stand tall. Appalled by the way I spoke to myself and still do at times, a sign to step…

Over and Under
Oversharing leads to undersharing, Overindulgence leads to deprivation, Acting Out leads to Acting In, When will the balance begin? I crave Piggy in the middle, I crave the beige in Lidl, I admire the mediocre Fiddle Player whose scraping by but full of joy 😊 I employ the help of tip top tools to cool…

Nerves
I never know what to say, I overdo it because nerves get in the way, delay, pause then respond, conned into patterns of the past, “you won’t be accepted unless you wear a mask”. In group situations, I constantly escape to the loo, to avoid awkward silences and social ques, Then I go and blurt…

Mind Madness
Stratospherically speaking, my mind needs tweaking, It’s ruminating tendencies leaves me in pieces, Compulsively re-visiting conversations at every occasion. Who said what, where, when and why, even a casual “Hi” has me questioning my own integrity, some levity would be gratefully received, peeved at the fact it’s part and parcel of wrapping me up in…
