Just Talking... Read x

Thank you all for supporting me in my poetic journey!
Portrait of  a poet was not my original decision but after some thinking i realised that this was the perfect name

As my poems do illustrate different moments and events of my life.
Some are long winded or very emotional. I.E. " Why is love so complicated?"
or there is the occasional vengeful poem "Unfinished " under the title 'Hard Times'

Moreover, Some of them are just random thoughts about self image and esteem which a few women (most) struggle with ie "Body" and "Your eyes" (won 1st place)

Finally, portrait of a poet is my new baby which I hope to develop and it can only happen with people reading and feed backing their thoughts

Hard Times

Is it because I told you

After all we've been through

Took me for a fool

Did I ever use you as a tool?

Thank you ever so much

Not a look, glance or even a touch

Good girls gone bad

You won't make me mad

I felt as if I had no status - empty - desolate

But I'm not desperate

Nah not for you

Or am I missing something

Since I'm nothing

Is it your brother let me keep that silent

Only you and I know fuck you and your talent

Shying away from the truth - my fault

Yet you still shut me out like a vault

Its calm and no resentment

Its all entertainment

Wish you nothing but the best - adele

But I have more to tell

What happened to the laughs and hats

And your dead chats

Almost lost a friend

I haven't even come to the end

This is my therapy

Couples

Young: Tall Blondes with Action Mans

Curvy sistas with Handsome Brothers

I’m talking usher

Short stout males with leggy females

Teenagers : Awkward kissing and unfamiliar fumbling

Middle Aged: They have kids – around 5+

Bland hair and bad teeth

Plus a beer belly- But they still see the beauty within

Whats the point of loving again

When number 1 is over here?

Old:Totally grey – silver foxes that mirror TCM

Sitting in  the park with shopping trollys

Looking into each others fading eyes

Been through so much – a life sentence

Why change now?

Find the one that loves you unconditionally…

Award winning poem ( 1st place in college) not exactly Duffy ' Your Eyes'

Kinky Twist, Single Plaits

Braids silky or  matte.

Dark or Light

A midnight hue or chocolate delight

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…

Thick, fat and plump

Looking like a hefalump

Thin as a rake

Easy to break

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…

Hourglass, apple or pear

Why care?

Do you?

Do you prefer bamboo?

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…

Is the grass embarrassed for being too green?

Elle have controlled you since you were thirteen.

Mum says I’m beautiful

That’s just painful

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Why is love so complicated?

Its always the plain ones that wish

for Efron or Denzel

counting couples in the park

Until Dark, this is what it has come to

Why is love so complicated?

Love even has names

Unrequited – Forbidden – platonic

Then there’s me no boyfriend or even a kiss

Why is love so complicated?

Thinking about the person when you’re just an option to them

Tall, dark and handsome – Pale, short and plain

Pay attention to me

They say good things come to those who wait

I have waited enough; love.

Why is love so complicated?

And shallow – see past the size 16

And Natural hair

I have a good heart

No, its about image

Why is love so complicated?

Going to bed whilst your pillow

Soaks in all the resentment of the one that doesn't care

They’re oblivious to the fact someone is writing this poem for them.

Body

BODY

One day its going good

Sexy- Curvy – finesse –unstoppable…

Naked.

Put the jeans on they don’t fit

The button struggles to fasten

Muffin tops becoming visible

Coats becoming Tighter

Sizes doubling into the danger zone. Evans

How about we all walk around naked?
