You Are My Heart
You are the best thing to ever happen to me
My world would be incomplete without you
My days would be cold without your smile,
My house empty without your footsteps
Your presence makes my life worthwhile.
***
My ears would be deaf without your laughter
Your conversations have now become my song,
Your hugs are my haven, my safe place
Your happiness is my goal, it’s where I belong.
***
Your safety is paramount to my peacefulness
Knowing you are at peace is my blessing,
Seeing you sprout your wings, to fly free
You’re individuality growing and progressing.
***
My heart would be bloody without your joy
I would be a shell of the person I have become,
My strength would be nothing without you
You’re the best thing to happen to me, my son.
***
Life would not be worth living without you here
I couldn’t bear the thought of us being apart,
Experiencing your joys, sadness and small wins
Are our precious memories, as you are my heart.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
