Absolute

it was after a viewing,
I felt you
the first time,
the essence of you
lingered
in the smile
of that baby

the second
lights had gone out
and men in black
stood on stones
of silence,
your odour
wafted

the years have passed
and our ships
have crossed course
more frequently
making an indelible
impression

you have been insistent
wanting my attention
but cold is the shoulder
bearing into,
this stiff westerly

I do not scream
I do not curse the stars
why? because I cannot deny
one day our eyes
will meet

and nothing I do
will change

the
inevitable

Dear JayCee

This is wonderful. Your voice has not gone, it never will. I think you’re just feeling a little lost at the moment with all you’re going through, but we can still hear and see your poetic genius...ABSOLUTELY. Xena

I don't think you are off with your writing. In fact your latest writings have touched me more deeply than you will ever know. I think that when we are sick or wounded, we tend to sit around and think. What usually comes up from our stirred memories are the worst times behind us and the worst we fear coming. I hope you get well very soon. Good vibes coming your way. Love, Cat

I dont know what it is but lately i just being feeling off I am tired had a huge day we had a bittersweet day one of Snakes brothers mates was killed in a car accident this morning we found out at 2.30 and then we had a rough day with Jades Labour but it all ended ok ... there were a lot of worried people outside that birthing centre ... but a huge sigh of relief went up lyz was the first to know then me and Bj's Mum were the next to know then the rest in the waiting room ... I bawled like a baby ... love you hun talk on the morrow love and big hugs JayCee x x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

The inevitability...

is assured. The manner in which it is accepted, is not. Some of us ignore the inevitable, right up until the end. Some of us worry about it from the time we discover it. Some enjoy the thrill of of tempting. Oh well... Love ya, Higgest bugs, ~ Gee
