My darling niece. She looks up at me with pondering blue eyes. Confused and comfortable in one look. “Her face is sort of right, but its not mummy” she thinks. So there she goes, concerned, Her face scrunching and then softening like she’s making up her mind. A soft voice reaches out to her fromContinue reading “My darling niece”

Finding Peace
After my previous post “I look to you”, I realised that I wasn’t as happy as I thought I was. I was scared that I’d didn’t even know what made me happy and that maybe somewhere deep down my mind was fiercely trying to retaliate on my rational and heart protecting feelings. On Monday lastContinue reading “Finding Peace”
Apologies for Yesterday
Would you give me a moment to say that I’m sorry for yesterday’s sadness and the night that was lonely. Would you give me a moment to explain what I can of the uncertainty I feel and then hope you understand. Apologies for yesterday, I think I’ll get better Soon I’ll move past this andContinue reading “Apologies for Yesterday”
I Look to You
For a second you were here. For a second that beautiful smell of that perfume wasn’t the brunette sitting opposite me in a beanie hat, it was you, next to me, dressed up on our way into London for a night out. God that smell, I miss it so much. I close my eyes andContinue reading “I Look to You”
All the same
These days are far away from the last time that we met, I rushed to meet you with my bad jeans on, a jumper and hair still wet. It wasn’t the same, and it was like that for a while, but I always miss your face, your eyes and your smile. At that point thenContinue reading “All the same”

LR was the first patient that made me feel like I was actually a nurse. She needed me and I, in some ways, needed her. She gave me confidence and hope and strength. Gosh, the strength of that woman you couldn’t believe. LR had lymphoma, the third life threatening cancer she has encountered in herContinue reading “As strong as her”

The nostalgia and the strength that comes from it is exactly what I needed, I could almost cry from the momentary relief if brought to me. It tookContinue reading “Newcastle”
Nocte Memories
Clear cool water wading up to your waist yellow sun and green palms cast shadows on your face A bright smile like those that I’ve loved this whole time These days in this heaven, the days when you’re mine. A turn of the waist to the sound of a drum That gorgeous white shirt andContinue reading “Nocte Memories”
Everyone Smiles in the same Language
This time last year I was lucky enough to be travelling around Colombia. Even with my (and my mother’s) pre conceptions about this cultured and historical country, I knew I was going to learn so much from it and the people there. Although it was a rocky start being so out of my comfort zone,Continue reading “Everyone Smiles in the same Language”
Stay
I am trying so hard Not to want to be in your arms, And for the weeks that feel like forever I will pray that we are together, Because you mean so much more Than whatever I’m searching for, And I don’t know if it’s real But whatever I feel, I feel. I will seeContinue reading “Stay”
