The Day the Wolves Came by Jessica Ni Leacai
I on this hill of hatred, harming
myself for missions unfulfilled,
These culling chastisements, I
cast on my burdened back,
and my words wasted,no
worth nor use to you.
Expelled from ears, unwilling
for my merciless devices,
I am but wasted material, meaningless
garments no one would garnish.
Slowly they sear me in half, my soul
no longer my loyal saviour.

When Night Owls Long For Solace, They Call For You by Jessica Ni Leacai
Oh come, in heavy hours I would have you here,
In all my moments your memories have held me,
As I the child calmly sat in your soft hearted hands.
In reflective remnants, I see your vision of valiant virtue,
A loving lady left lonely as a mirror of my own self sorrowed,
Like mine,your heart harvested for hatred hereditarily here.
How I call, crying your name in these lamented lingerings,
But you can only cover my crimson bleedings in incorporeal form,
Yet alive, your hands holding me would dispel all these destructors.

The Wait, It Wilts Me In Corners by Jessica Ni Leacai
If you called me there, to that place,
I would wait
Matter it not your face, your name,
I would wait
In the corner, here, longing,
I would wait
In craving desires, for want of love,
I would wait
But how the joy demands, my lies,
In my waiting
How the scars, they form no tissue,
In my waiting
And how this flower, it wilts in torment,
In this waiting

In The Willows, I Wept Among the Reeds by Jessica Ni Leacai
Had happiness held my hands heartened in sadness,
Would I wake in a wonder of wanton faked?
If love’s languishments lept me from ladders above,
Would I not prolong these punishments proved wrong?
Should sorrows seep soundly into my shivering horrows,
Would I ache my arteries anchoring for armour’s sake?
Or would weep like willows withering in waters deep,
In drowning diplomacies declared destructive in my frowning?

An Ode to the One Who Loved Me by Jessica Ni Leacai
You brought love unto me,
in much happier times
In this sad meadow,
in this dark, decrepit dense
Where no wonderment danced,
in these woed children’s eyes
You bathed their sorrows,
in loving watered tin buckets
And they remember you still,
in memory, my dearest darling

But None The Wiser Came I by Jessica Ni Leacai
Asked for no joy, of a remedial body,
And none for my ails, medicinal masters responding
But in my days, the darkness came,
And none for me,the beckoning bells clang
And all these halls, damp in their duress,
And none for my sorrows, widows wept in stress
For none did ask, why no stillness did sit,
And all that was wanted, was my windows lit

Things are not always what they seem
I was involved in a horrendous car crash in 1997. This is a blog that I wrote about the aftermath and my injuries.
This is a letter that I wrote to my granny when she died because I was not allowed to attend the funeral due to family fighting over my grandmothers belongings. She was my best friend and confidant. People were so worried I would try and take her land and her belongings that she offered me but I had refused. Its so sad that people can be so petty. When she offered me her property,I said all I wanted was her love and that was enough for me. There’s not a day that goes by that I do not wish that I could pick up the phone and hear her laughter and the joy she brought into my life. When I heard she died, I died inside. All I wanted to do was jump off the balcony. My life has never been so low since. I know she is watching over me and I keep going because I know she wouldn’t want me to be upset. Without her, I would not be the person I am today. RIP Granny, there will never be the likes of you again, you are truly missed xx
