New paintings and regular art updates.
We met in the September
Moved in together in October
16 years later?
We married.
In 9 minutes it will be our anniversary.
My first without him.
We never really celebrated
He wasn’t into birthdays
Or Anniversaries
A quiet meal
A glass of wine or beer
We were going to be together forever.
The shock when he went
Backed me into a corner.
Nowhere to go
Nothing to do
Surrounded by stuff
That holds me in
Trapped in a corner of sadness
Missing him
And tomorrow? In 5 minutes?
24 hours lost in greif
Modern life
I need to change
My name
But no matter
How often I phone
They can’t do it!
Two type authenticity
Pain in the proverbials
Change a password
What’s wrong with 987654321?
No you have used that before
DDrF457gTi. XS92?
How do I remember that?
So I leave the name
The same
Insane.
Last might my voice was croaky
I sneezed twice. But I was ok
Now I have the lurgy
I feel tired and achy
My nose is dripping like a tap
My eyes are gunged up.
Change in weather
Cold germs sneak out and gets you
Warm germs decide to leave.
I always get colds in autumn and spring.
Fed up
The cats hate me sneezing
Loudly…
Been to choir twice today
Morning songs, evening tunes
Now I’m tired and so I lay
On the chair, ready to sleep.
Music gave me a good day
Raised my spirits up in joy
Made me feel less dark I’d say
Summer returned
When that music did play…
Dilemma? Shall I stay or go?
Balance up the positives and negatives?
They balance out precisely!
Canvass friends and family?
Some say yes, some say go.
How do I feel?
Pleased and alarmed in equal measure!
How to decide?
Flip a coin!

My dilemma today? I’ve posted this twice!
Do I delete?
It rained in Wales:
Water fell on land and sea.
Pebbles rattled in the tide
As the water came to me.
On my head, trickling down.
Back of my neck? Very wet!
Supermoon shakes in the window
My poor nearsighted eyes make it dance
Layers of lemon cheese
with green salad leaves
Like nettle wrapped Cornish Yarg…
Slivers of moonlight sparkle
Watery eyes observe
See through my sight eagerly
Learn a new way to view.
What would your life be like without music?
I love singing harmonies in choirs.
Stiring sea shanties,
Soaring melodies
Deep, soulful folk songs,
Some pop songs from yesteryear.
Voices mingled
Low and high meld together.
Sopranos and Bass, Alto and Tenor
Winding and twisting around
Yes singing lifts me.
For years I drew seahorses on the sand
A holiday tradition.
He would watch while I drew
Happy in admiration
Sunny, bright days,
Soft sand
Holding hands.
I started doing this
30 years ago
Seahorses gallop into the waves
Dragging my memories
In the undertow
Last week I walked towards a beach
Did not step onto it
Did not pick up a stick and draw
Did not depict this watery creature
I don’t know if I ever will
Again….
Sand particles washed and blown
Away…
Has my tide turned?
I don’t know…
He snuck out you see…
Didn’t come back
For two days
I think he has a pad
A place to sleep
When he wants to be bad
Then I don’t see him
Which makes me sad!
Usually he comes back
Soaking wet
To have a wash, grub,
Then off again!
