The Risks We Take With Friends

Peewee, who fancies himself kind,

Calls friendship the sharpest snare you'll find.

A philanthropist, he claims the cost

Of open trust is often lost.

 

“Loving’s a risk,” Peewee begins,

“No one wounds deeper than one you let in.

To give your heart is danger stark;

Few repay your light for their dark.”

 

For in the end, he’d come to learn,

Don't fall for someone

Don't fall for someone..
You will always break,

The skin now stained

seeping from veins,

Pumping like a bad memory,

Fixated on the blood

people forget the scars,

Not the one oozing with puss

but the one deep-rooted, 

Crying out for atte...

Milestones

Lying here comforting my daughter of 9 months beside me, it suddenly occured to me that when she was born I was going to write more, start to share my work, use my time out of work to explore my poetry writing too. You know, all the usual gubbins, before the actual reality of having a newborn who doesn't sleep, has painful reflux and an older, teenage sister or whichever equivalents consume you.
