a room of my own

The coffee is brewing
I hear footsteps the door
The meeting is starting
Dirty clothes are on the floor
The teacher is waiting 
My boss is talking
Put on your mask and go get the shopping

Wave to the neighbours
Call up your friends
Spend endless hours 
Asking when it ends
Walk off the madness
Sleep off the dread
Sitting here writing
While others make bread

Be every woman
And all before five
Get in a workout
Make up your eyes
Time to make dinner
Though you'd rather dine out
Sip on a beer 
And scroll til you shout

The parks are now open but the playground is not
The camps have been cancelled
June has been hot
Surrounded by papers and never alone
The months feel longer the more I am home.

Look into my eyes and smile Follow me with your gaze Come and stand beside me Drink in my scent Graze my arm with yours And let yourself breathe out You're safe here by my side Talk with me about everything And nothing at all Laugh, and cry with me Share a meal with me Hold me close and cherish me. Touch my hand as we walk together Write me words of love Lose yourself in my embrace And find out what I'm worth Kiss like it's the first time, the last time and the best Take me away with you And show me all the rest.

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.
