If only

If only I had done better

If only I had tried harder to

If only

But at times I did do better

But no-one saw

But I did it for me

So that when I was feeling that I could have done more, I remember there were times when I did

A reminder that regret is almost futile

And ‘if only’ is just two words

(Watercolour on khadi paper from a couple of weeks ago)

So small

Sometimes I am small

The stars are above

My eyes shut tight

So tiny

And the weight, the heaviness of the world is above me

Around me

I can feel small

Painting on board from last year

small light

somehow

amidst the gloom

amongst the debris

we must find a little light, a glow, a glimmer

at this moment in time though, we need a glow, a bit of warmth a hug from a soft light

a gentle guide to pull us through

did we dance

did we dance together yesterday

or was it in my imagination

a kind of hope that maybe it was real

that we danced

maybe sang even

together?

(I hope this will)find you

It hurt

and so I think , as I am still angry, some day I will find you

(its not a threat

more of a promise)

and you will know the pain you have caused me

you will feel how it was

you may not see me

I may not even be near

but you will know it is I

the pain will be there and

you shall feel how it was. Maybe

the feel good

some way or another the feel good thing is top of the list

it must happen

as soon as i open my eyes in the morning

i must feel good

not bad

not letting the darkness in but pushing it away

must be positive

slippers on feet clad

down stairs

planning food

how to feel good not bad

is this healthy, can my gut take it

drink, cleanse, eat food but I still want it to taste nice not just healthy

positive thoughts

foget the anger, let go,( it’ll be something else this time next year someone said)

nothing is that terrible to make you feel bad. no reason to frown , smile

yes smile , that helps
