More Than A Memory
Day by day his power grows
Wrapping me in his loving arms
Showering me with care,
Painful memories are fading
Broken heart in need of repair.
***
His love has made me stronger
And by day his power grows,
He’s breaking down my walls
To allow my love to flow.
***
Many a tear I’ve wasted
On a lover that I’ve missed,
Pining over heartbreak
For the one I want to kiss.
***
He has now dried my tears
Soothing my pain away,
Pushing aside the memories
Of all my “yesterday’s”.
***
Although my past is fading
Causing faces to fade from view,
Sadly, he’ll never have the power
To ever stop me loving you.
***
Dreams continue to haunt me
The future we’d planned day by day,
His love may have filled my heart
But in my soul you’ll always stay.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
