| Accidental Miracle |
He was in my life before i turned 15 years of age -
I did not even know he existed -
My mother was the first to realise -
She cried herself to sleep -
She saw doctors, specialists, friends -
But he was there to stay -
I knew he would be a disruption to my life -
I knew it was bad timing -
It would be my senior years that would be effected
the most ~
Then my dad found out -
All hell broke loose -
Thats when the tears finally found escape -
The swelling grew larger -
Month by month -
Christmas came and went -
Bringing with it the New Year -
And him, a new life -
With a dramatic entrance into the world -
He fought for his life for a week -
Then we brought him home -
Healthy and pink -
I learnt to bathe him and dress him -
And to hold his delicate little head -
Time would stop as his warm body moulded into my
chest -
I loved him more than i could have thought
possible -
He grew larger and longer -
He learnt to smile and laugh -
A sound i had been waiting for since his birth -
Slowly time moved on -
He developed new skills -
Learnt to sit up, to crawl -
Learnt to cuddle back ~
As i watch his soft blonde hair -
Stick wet to his head in the bath -
His large blue eyes -
Framed with thick black lashes -
I can't help but wonder what my life would have -
been like without him -
Without his toothy grin -
His dimpled smile -
His sweet baby laugh -
The cheeky look he gets when he finds something
breakable... -
I do not think my life would have been quite as
complete ~
For an accidental miracle -
He has brought so much joy -
Thank you Harrison -
My baby brother, baby boy.

No one has ever allowed me as much freedom
To be me -
As you have my lovely -
No one has ever been as patient -
With my inconsistencies -
As you have my love. ~
Your company has become my security. -
I have no fear. -
I tread boldly into the world, -
The future, -
And into our life, -
Because I know you will be there. ~
My love for you is unlike the raging torrents -
Of loves before. -
It is unlike the infatuations and lusting -
Of my past. -
My love for you has grown slowly, -
On a strong foundation of trust and respect. ~
This love is enduring -
Because we both understand -
What the other requires. -
Ours is a bud of friendship, -
Opening its petals -
More each day. -
I have such gratitude -
To be able to stand by your side -
Today -
And tomorrow, -
As we face this world -
Hand in hand. -
[This was written earlier this year as a gift for
my partner Mark Andrew Nicholson]

| Drinking Tea Makes You Pee |
Gone are the days -
Now a faded haze -
When i would never pee ~
Since winter arrived -
I cannot survive -
With out my cup of tea ~
Forest fruits or camomile -
Let the flavour brew awhile -
And warm you lips on the edge ~
But this drinking tea -
It makes you pee -
Make sure you cross your legs!
(This is a poem i wrote in the winter of 2004,
after i'd taught myself to drink tea like a grown
up :P - still haven't managed coffee!)

| The advent of a new site |
I really do love creating new web sites - even if
it is just template business! Nevertheless,
welcome to emmascorner. This Blog section will be
predominantly used as a poetry page, so this will
probably be the last 'news' entry for a while.
Enjoy the new site :) [the formatting is a little
bad in that i can't seem to present the poems as
poems - but i've tried to space them out as best
as i can]
