Tones


Days when those bright colours used to light up your soul,
Back in the days when you smiled from within.
You don’t see those tones much anymore,
It feels darker now than it ever was before.
Everything seems bleak,
Yet still, you hold on,
More stoic than anyone who ever came before.

Image Of You

It’s the quietness that gets to me, I know it shrieks the truth, Every situation is replayed a thousand times within my head, If Ive made a mistake, It chills me to the bone, Gnaws at my brain, Makes me feel a little less happy at home. The darkness frightens me, For it allows me to have crystal clear clarity, Every wrong step, I now know the way, Too late for me, I have lost my way. Through all the broken pieces that make up my life, I see haphazardly, A kaleidoscope of whirlwinds, And still... I always see you. Whenever I am in need, Your memory comes to me, Softens every blow, The image of you from long ago, Soothes my torn and worn soul, Allows me to carry on, At least for a little while more. © 2019 MK AC Nevin-Crooks Love Life Poetry

Brain

If you have shoes on your feet, Food in your stomach, A roof over your head, Love in your heart, A brain in your head, You are luckier than most. Don't lose hope, You can choose which direction you go, Even if it feels wrong, When you fall, Pick yourself back up off the floor, You know the correct way to go.

Father

Everyday a new day, The fearlessness has become alive deep inside, It’s returned once again. Something about me, Makes him awaken, From his deep sleep. He once said ‘You are the most like her’ Me being me... ‘Why? Am I telling you off and you think I am annoying?’ Him: ‘No. She was a lady and I never thought she was annoying’ Any compliment he ever gave me, Well before he was sick, Before the trauma of Mum’s death, I batted each and every compliment away, A seasoned pro. Now I think back with regret and remorse, Why did I have to be that way? I would do anything to go back in time and say ‘Thank you! I love you!’ Once upon a time, He said ‘Mary-Kate is the cross one! Everyone says so!’ I was perplexed, I’ve never seen myself this way. Maybe I was, Is it because when I do not smile I look scary? I can’t remember being cross on purpose, I am quick tempered, I will admit to that, I am who I am, It’s too late ...
