Id and The Ego's
Last night my Id, the tricky minx
Just had to play a game
The day before both Egos
Occupied my busy brain! .............
They fight for my attention
These triplets born of Freud
Internal conflict Manifests
In things I should avoid.
I try to keep a balance
Between my heart and head
But when bad fells so bloody good
I side with Id instead!

Saved
Scraped
the inside surface of my rib cage
Hell
Was never turning to the next page
Stagnant
Murdering surface of the pond weed
Sealed
Entombed and stifled by the wrong need
Scared
Was how malignancy had grown strong
Faced
Was how to kick it into head long
Healed
The mind that breaks out of its prison

Wishes cried for wanted child!
The wishes that are washed in tears
Are for a pitied child
Who knows no love and warmth of heart
I wish this reconciled
The wishes bathed in helpless brine
Do ask the reaper why
They come for child with future bright?
I wish they did not die
The wishes leaving salted trails
Are laid with grief profound
My empathy, in sorrow shared
I wish for comfort found!

Answered in dreams (a bit saucy)
I fell asleep, needy
You were not lying there
A dull ache reseeded
My body lay bare
The night passed as normal
Unaware my frustration
Should have sorted it out
With a quick masturbation
too sleepy was I
So I drifted away
But to my delight
Naughty dreams came to play
You came to the rescue
In the depths of my brain
The surprise when I woke
Was the bonus 'I came'

Left can't be left without right
Often I take a vacation
Where drive is on the right
I weave an alphabet of roads there
I enjoy the scenery
When I am at this place
It is ok to spill!
I am passionate, impulsive and a little bit wreck less
Then it's back to work
And have left it all behind
Sometimes order and organisation are necessary
But the temptation is
To get out and walk
On the right
And face the oncoming

Jahan's Special Place
The water splashes round you
You balance on your heal
A half a smile upon your face
How does the water feel?
Your clothes are cream and comfortable
Your form blends with the spray
I see your hem is dampened
Will it dry soon on this day?
You shared with us your river
And the memories it finds
Your prose made waters flow right through
The image in my mind.

Promises
He sharpened his tongue before he came
I had ears shielded with understanding
Innocently I had follied, too horizontal
He was vertically vexed
I was rehearsed, tail tucked, eyes downcast
He was ready to prompt me, with poignant pauses
I knew my lines and I meant to mean every word
I cannot act to save my life
When it was done I let him own his smugness
And I made promises I would try and keep.

Wasps are Carnivores
Wasps are carnivores
Yes they eat meat
Aggressive meat eaters
mean meat eating stinging machines
I am not vegetarian
But I don't have a sting in my tail
Bloody wasps spoil the summer.
I googled to see if they did anything useful
I didn't like what I found
Without them, wine would not exist.
Ok ok I don't hate you quite as much
But is this why you are so smug?
Sometimes after wine I get a sting in my tail!

Mother and Daughter
Not so cunning as a fox
My curious daughter went uninvited into my jewellery box
She left a trail of clues so clear
That said she had explored my gear
But a memory was unfolded
I didn't question, I left her unscoulded
I remember having the same obsession
With my own mothers precious possessions
It made a smile wash over, with pounding heart beats.
Mother and daughter, for ever and ever and history repeats!

Mother
My mother
Once was
The centre
On my circle maker
My mother
Once was
The warmth
Around a cold hand
My mother
Once was
The smile
On a pensive face
My mother
Once was
The rule
To run rings around
