The ghosts we share life with……

I called today just to see your face, drove straight to your door like I did many yesterday’s before I looked at your door and gripped the wheel, why did I visit, your no longer here. We talked in the past, we didn’t say much but whenever we did we said what meant most. I

A year on……

It was back in 2020 when dad left us, just over a year ago. A year that flew past each day, week and month until once again another painful reminder of loss wrapped itself around me and my family, those closest to him once again finding the tears, the memories of years gone by and

Tears stain a perfect memory

Tears stain a perfect memory, they steal smiles born of forgotten yesterday’s. Ones of unconditional love lost amongst those perfect thoughts. Wrapped around you like much needed hugs, Holding them tightly for fear they’ll simply fade into fog. The love you carry deep within your heart only hurts just before the tears start. Loss isn’t

The fight of all fights….. by L D Wright

I looked to the news today for inspiration, all I received were warnings to stay within the perimeters. Don’t go out, stay two metres apart, stay home. Don’t venture outside unless you really need to. Today the entire world could be sneezing. As a child I remember singing Ring‐a‐Ring o’ Roses, today this threat definitely

New Directions, I’m coming home….. By L D Wright

2019 Was a year I don’t ever want to visit ever again, most of it was one I felt like my walls were closing in on me. I’d awoken so many demons that what had come and gone quickly spiralled around me and almost dragged me into the whirlwind of depression, sad memories, thoughts. These

Peace on Earth….. By L D Wright

It’s a job  they loved but at the ultimate cost, sadly can’t replace a corpse. I have nothing but respect for

In Warm Loving Hands by L D Wright

In Warm Loving Hands….. I’ve fought with my thoughts, the presents I would have given, knowing full well they’d never be opened. Searched for the smiles I’d hoped to have seen, missed all the laughter we’d have shared without thinking. Looked to the skies, watching the clouds floating around, made out the pictures before merging

Searching….. By L D Wright

Searching….. We are all searching, somethings we find easily, others camouflaged, there yet hidden out of sight, trophies we come across, the buried treasure that someone else lost. Silver spoon or extra blankets. We’re all the same, just wear different outfits. Walking down that lonely path until a thought provokes a smile we’d witnessed, leads

Happy Birthday Princess…..

Days as important as today should never fade away, just like a memory I carry you around, granted I haul the sadness alongside the smiles you created but the love I cherish has never left. All the missed moments, the new adventures, the stories we would have made. I’ve took you with me every single

All My Love….. By L D Wright

All my Love….. It’s getting closer to that time of year, towards the times I’ve missed more than any other. Your birthday so close and then it’s Christmas, yet again no presents I’ll see you open. By now you may have had a family of your own, a grandad, best present of them all. A
