The Covert Narcissist
Hidden behind a perfectly prepared cloak of invisibility
Personalised meticulously for this latest victim

Of their current victim's soul.

A Daughter's 18th Birthday Poem
Seasons come and seasons go
Through autumn’s leaves and winter’s snow

Has reached her special 18th year.
So with all the love we feel inside

The Redwood Tree

I will always be here
Watching over you and your children’s children.
How long can you stay here? How old will you get?
Will you live for ever and ever?
