What is Love?

As the sun sets on my romantic dreams!

I still don’t understand what it is!

A bit like electricity?

Love is like a light switch which turns on and, in my case off—I still don’t understand how that works either. Sometimes love lights up your world, other times it shocks the heck out of you, and occasionally it leaves you in the dark, wondering if you paid the bill!

Love is indeed complex, like trying to fold a fitted sheet. We think there’s a “right way” to do it, but let’s be honest—most of us are just rolling it up and hoping it doesn’t unravel at the worst possible moment which is a bit like some relationships.

Yes, familial love is often considered the simplest and most instinctive form of love. It’s like the Wi-Fi of relationships—always there, connecting you whether you like it or not. Sibling love, in particular, is a special kind of chaos. One minute you’re ready to donate a kidney, the next you’re wondering how they’ve managed to annoy you with just their breathing. But that’s love—equal parts devotion and exasperation!

Romantic love is definitely like a roller coaster designed by a mad scientist—thrilling, confusing, sometimes making you scream, and yet, you keep getting back in line. One moment, you’re writing love poems in your head; the next, you’re arguing over who left the cap off the toothpaste. It’s wild, unpredictable, and just when you think you’ve got it figured out, it flips upside down. Honestly, understanding romantic love is like trying to read a novel in a language you don’t speak, but you’re too invested to put it down!

Platonic love with men can feel like trying to keep a cat off your keyboard—no matter how many times you explain the boundaries, they keep testing them. It’s that deep connection where you think, “Are we friends?” and then, boom, they’re looking at you like you’re the last piece of pizza on the platonic platter. Love should be all about shared values, trust, and having a laugh—but sometimes, we misread the map and ends up at “Kissville” when you’re just trying to chill in “Pals Town”.

Self-love is definitely the best!

No need for mind games or decoding mixed signals—it’s just you, appreciating yourself like the absolute legend you are. You always know what you want for dinner, how you like your coffee, and let’s be honest, no one gives you a better pep talk than you. It’s the most straightforward relationship you’ll ever have, plus you never have to share the last piece of your saucy orecchiette!

Now that’s true love!

To my Daughters!

I am all around you
you'll hear me in the wind!

Listen for it joyfully
When you need me in the night
It's whisper it will remind you
How to get it right!

Look up and you'll see me
Shining in the sun!

My warmth, it will surround you
Caress you when you're sad
Don't despair, I'm always there 
in good times and in bad!

My memory will lead you
And soon you'll understand 
Remember just how strong you were
When last, you, held my hand!

My laughter is a part of you
Make it loud and clear
I've given you the tools you need
You are strong 
My Dear!

To a Friend!

Each to their own!


I know I’m not for everyone

Nor they, indeed, for me

I see my faults

Address them

But they’re still a part of me.

 
If I have had you in my life

Through good times and the bad

I never meant to cause you harm

Or tried to make you sad!

 
Though my intentions were never saintly

I tried to do my best

I gave opinions, as I saw

Stuck by them rather bravely!



If you ever saw the worst in me

Moved on an then we parted

I’d like to say I thank you for

The joy with which we started.


All things end eventually

In friendship and in life

I’ve been the best that I could be

A Mum, a friend, a gran – a wife!



So, hold on to your memories

and Jumpers - of the past.

Consider the landscape of your life, 

The ups and downs don't last



Relish every minute 

Because time

It moves...

So fast!

Lilibet

Lilibet Lilibet
What’s in a name?
Doria Doria it’s just not the same
It’s too private and gracious
And won’t fan the flame!

If you’re starting a brand?
Then the tag line is crucial
But to trade on your Baby
Well, that’s downright Brutal!

Do they have no shame?
In this quest to stay ‘Private’
Yet pimp out their spawn
While the, dignified,
Stay Quiet!

Pink Moon

Oh my…
My love, I saw the moon, and she revealed the truth
Of me, and you, and dreams so true
The lust, the lie, the loss!

When first I saw your handsome face
The sparkle in your eye
I loved you then
I love you now
But truth, it never lies!

You promised me the sun and stars
The sea, the tide, the sky
You took my soul
My heart
My life
But, in the end, love died!

Oh my…

Love!
