Poems

You need one who's easier to control! Not one who has a life of her own, You sucked the very life out of me Now I feel so full of glee. I knew you were a Narcissist from Day 1 The Bracelet you bought me The other things you did Forever tagging me on Facebook  My Mental Health is good It will return, Whereas yours as a Narcissist  Will always remain.

Yours was not an overt love Hidden, a covert one I couldn't see where I was going The love bombs seduced me Into thinking you were the one! I've been this way before though,  More overtly But, I know both sorts now, I have a full degree in Narcology  I can see you starting to suck the life out of me, In a totally different way. A new day is dawning I need to forever break this cycle But, don't exactly know how ?  I'll storm the courts of Heaven Maybe the justest judge of all will see me right  If I follow in his footsteps and walk into the light! 

A view from Chapel Point was a joint project of local Lincolnshire writers including myself : my contribution is the girl with the green ribbon in her hair and the kiss me quick hat and going to school to learn part. It was recorded during the summer. Open link and scroll down to play. Hope you enjoy listening. 

You are ….. Bristly as a bramble As thorny as a bush I'd call you a thistle  But they are more loyal,  A symbol of Courage, loyalty And more, Your treachery has kept me from your door, You don't even want to eat with me anymore If you were an animal, you'd be a black panther for sure, If you were a tree, a Dutch Elm, diseased from top to toe. I can't believe how you've turned on me Didn't think this would happen, Ya know, I thought we'd continue meeting weekly, I thought you were my friend But guess I've been fooled once again! If you were a season, you'd  definitely be Winter In fact, I'm wondering if you are the snow queen's sister,  You are the weather  On a strong stormy day, You are the darkest hour before dawn -  Your favourite item of clothing...... behind closed doors is the big, dark cloak laying on your floor. The music you play must be the Gregorian Chant You are the landscape where people fear to tread I can't believe all the ...

Instead of lots of doing We should do lots of Being.  Doing too much doing.... may be our Undoing. Be in the moment,  Be Happy,  Don't be ratty.  Put your own smile on your face, Just be Happy, Embrace-  Breathe, just be ...... and you will see, Bad Thoughts will cease. Look in the mirror,  Smile, and let it be,  say to yourself,  I am Happiness  Breathe it, feel it- I am Happiness let the negative feelings leave,  the positive feelings will cleave,  I am Happiness,  Speak it daily - I AM HAPPINESS!  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes  February, 2022

A weird kind of Joy Unexplained inside A Prayer went up Like a Balloon to the sky Named Joy   Not long afterwards A Miracle, I’m sure I passed you in my car You  were waiting  on the pavement Indescribable Joy   On the way to meet my friend My heart skipped a beat You’d smiled and nodded Would I be yours again,  To love, honour and keep ?   Your text came through You still had love for me I was with my friend by then Drinking a cup of tea Insatiable Joy   It felt like a New Dawn I was eager to rise, And be by your  side - Expectant Joy   You arranged to come and see me I was reassured As I saw you approaching my door. My love for you and your love for me Held no bounds I was so glad you’d come around   Here’s to our future joy That our love will last You’d sent up Prayers too,  You are forgiven The past is the past Forgivable Joy.
