Are we ever known?

I know so little of you, yet so much.Your jigsaw has missing pieces.It will never be complete.Your life before we met,the parts I do not see,secrets you keep inside.We reveal ourselveslike exposing flesh to varying degrees.You know so little of me,yet so much.Copyright © 2021 Lily Lawson

One shot

I wish I could go back,unsay the things that hurt,take back my careless actions,get it all right first.I am just a human,I will make mistakes,despite my best intentions,everything cannot be great.There are things you cannot edit,there are words you can't erase,apologies don't always fix things,broken things will not unbreak.Copyright © 2021 Lily Lawson

What do I like to read?

That is a hard question to answer. I am tempted to say everything, It's true my tastes have expanded in recent years and as long as it is not horror I will consider it. Sorry horror writers.

I love autobiographies so I am loving Finding My Way by Karen Honnor. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

As a poet I do not normally read much poetry but I loved her book Diary of a Dizzy Peri. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Guess Karen Honnor is my author of month https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


Come back next month to see who's next - I know but I am not telling lol

Poetic dance

Some poets learn the stepsof a familiar routine,keeping the rhythm,hitting every beat.Some poets know many dances,utilising their unique flavour,skillfully adapting,until the music ends.Some poets express themselves,free from restraints,their individual choreography resulting in surprising outcomes.Copyright © 2021 Lily Lawson

Love

Platonic love, romantic love.We may think the first is easierthan the last.Vulnerabilities exposedwhen humans say "I love you" to another human.We yearnto know mutuality,to feel safe, until the feeling goes,or life lies spentupon both sides.Copyright © 2021 Lily Lawson

Friday

The blankness of my screen with flashing cursorreminds me of the blog I need to write.I need to find a 'catchy' title,an image to go with my poetry,tags relating to the contents of the post,to give my poem a better chance of being read out there in the world.The words I share, the thoughts inside my head,people I have never met and may never meet,will read them after a few clicks from meand I may never know what they think.Copyright © 2021 Lily Lawson
