Let's leave off overthinking
and the cage of society
depression, worry, stress
excess anxiety
let's let life happen through us
rather than just to us
because anyhow 
as we avow
now
is always 
Now! 

Health
is wealth
come share prosperity
with me! 

Boo
we know
we understand
we've learnt
we've got this!
Now
all there is left
is the time
to do it in
and together
WE WILL!

When home time
is close/not close
and I need a dose
of Boo real-time!

Tuesday, July 29, 2025

Waking you up
at 3 in the morning
I see your struggle
with the snuggle
look 
now we're both yawning! 

Where JoBren go
magic will follow!

It's true
I love my Boo
and he
really loves me
and through 
all life's puzzles
we will love
our beefy muscles!!!

*well at least having as many as we can so we have lotsa bounce per ounce as we head into The Older Ages!!!

2 minds
1 goal
and a shared smile
along the way!

I love your hands
big
strong
gentle
and yet 
able to
with hardly a thought
KLAP DEAD AN ANNOYING MOSQUITO!!!
The hands
of a saint
indeed...

JoBren
at 3am
off to work
the stars
hidden
behind clouds
we alone
twinkle. 

Friday, July 25, 2025

Now why
am I
still alone
when I 
could be
should be
would be
with you?
Why
let's apply
home time
to this wound
that I feel
will heal
with zeal
this terrible wrong in the world!!

Home time
imagined cuddles
become real!

Inside
Outside
round about side
but left side
or right side
if you're by my side
That's the bright side! 

Roses are red
Violets are purple
how do you 
express love
with only 
nurple?

Sunday, July 20, 2025

Prepare for cute! 
And witty to boot! 
To protect our brains from the bland! 
To ensure our days are grander than grand! 
To denounce the evils of lazy and fat! 
To extend our life to more than that! 
Jo! 
Bren! 
Team JoBren driving off before it is light! 
Surrender now to the awesome sight! 
That's right!

You have saved me
from so many things
including myself! 
f
a
l
l
but your strong arms catch me
every time!
What foolish small words
could ever capture
what that means
to me?

Cheeky little birds sing
about 
everything
I wonder what they say
today
about you and me?

* well good or bad we can't understand them so we can happily pretend pretty much anything and I say they're saying awful nice things, especially about our gumption! I can just tell!

You 
keep me 
on the straight and narrow
which is 
funny enough
neither straight
nor narrow
more a winding road 
with lots to see
(amazing frankly)
and lots too do
(I never knew)
spread wide 
and accommodating 
(with just the odd 
annoying
metaphysical stone 
about the shoe area
as life is want to do)
a pathway
allowing room for change 
and adaption
and growth
a road worth treading
not dreading
and always there 
besides me
You
 
It's not that we are extra special
(though I think we are) 
or extra blessed
(born under a lucky star)
or wiser, more loving or uniquererer
(well maybe not too far)
it's that we talk
it's that we try
it's that we do
we stay true
that is real magic 
of JoBren! 

Each day we spend:
13 hours 
apart
7 hours 
asleep
4 hours
together
and 24 hours
thinking
about each other!

When my body is weak
or worn
you understand
(sometimes demand)
I must take care of myself!
And I do
so that you
have one less thing
to worry about!

* And if I can do some chores and make home a bit nicer for you to come home to? Bonus!

They say
there are 5 different types
of ways
to show someone 
you love them
for me
it is rather
just 5 words...
"How about something to eat?"

* Romance swirls through me blood, looking suspiciously like particles of mashed potato...

Wednesday, July 9, 2025

If I was 
a little bird
I would fly to you
and sing to you
and fill your heart with hope!
And maybe leave you a worm
on a ledge
as a snack
I hear they're good protein...

Tuesday, July 8, 2025

You
are so absolutely
ADORED
that it sometimes makes my breath
CATCH
in my throat
too amazed to do something 
as silly
as breathing.

The space
between you and me
is nothing
worth mentioning.

Years might wrinkle our skin
Baboo
but enthusiasm 
ensures
there are no wrinkles
in our soul! 

* Always and forever let's go and go, always and forever it's Bren and Jo!

In the darkest night
in the littlest light
birds play on the road with ease
rabbits nibble grass and freeze
and perhaps an owl 
or two
who who
who who
in the trees
as a small car drives by
containing 
you
and I. 

5 days without power
4 more than planned
3 on the weekend
2 much to stand
1 day it will be back
Tomorrow? Or after?
Thank goodness for light-hearts
and boundless silly laughter!

*Though no human on earth is gonna ENJOY doing laundry the way I am when the electricity comes back! Dirty knickers beware!!!!

Sunday, July 6, 2025

At work
on a Monday
before 4am
charging electronics
listening to quiet
sitting
thinking
wondering 
what are you
Boo
doing 
at the same time?

*I'd say either driving or just getting into the office, yawning and craving a coffee!

Thursday, July 3, 2025

How Boo?
How do we keep going?
With so many things against us?
So much happening?
And this mad crazy world?
What gives us the strength to keep on going?
Food of course!
My gosh, it's good!
Also our strong love for each other!
Our joy in life!
And the whimsy we add to each day as play!
But food?
Food is good!
Yum!

JoBren
mixing in a bit of
innocence
a pinch of
mischief
a huge measure of
love
and heavily doused in
joy
maked up
baked up
the perfect pie of
Yes Please I'll Have Me Some Of That!

Wednesday, July 2, 2025

This world is full of weeping
but with you 
I find 
my tears are full of laughter. 

No electricity
for you and me
so we shrug
add an "ugh"
and deal with it 
happily!

* cos if you can't fix it, adapt to it -  and then really hope it gets fixed so you can unadapt and go back to flicking a switch and OH, light! 

Yes hello pardon me
I'd like to have that Boo over there please?
Yes the one in the corner
with the cute smile
and kindness in his eyes
with the kissable nose
and hide-away toes
yes that one
that one is perfect
Thank you!
Wait 
he costs how much?
Haha, as if I'd pay that, sucka foo'!!!!

*Runs off with the Boo in her arms, forever an outlaw of luv!*

Tuesday, July 1, 2025

I did not think
or even think to think
that one day
I'd while away
my days
thinking thoughts
of you.
