My overwhelmed, fragile, aching heart
Shall undoubtedly be deluged,
It’s beating life giving pulse drowned…
Stilled, lost to a watery grave with…
Sea Salt poured in my open, bleeding wounds
My mind Sautéed in brine, rancid seaweed
As your betrayal builds up…
A monsoon… a tidal wave
Rolling, crashing, rising
It’s frothy tips soaring ever higher
Rushing in to demolish
All … Everything before it…
The sea wall of my fortitude
Stands not a chance
Of withstanding the deluge
The oceanic onslaught
That is your latest reveal
How could you?
After all we have been through…
All we have meant to each other..
You would choose now to tell me this?
Oh, the horror…
Of knowing my soul mate
Is at heart a cat lover….
….
Come on Rover, we need to take a walk.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
