THE NAKED SHOW
The curtain went up,
the lights were turned on,
the audience gasped and quietness fell.
There was I, in a chair.
In my wheelchair, I was.
Naked.
Not a stitch on.
The lights were in my face.
I could not see the audience,
but I could hear them.
Voices were coming from everywhere,
from the left, from the right,
from the upstairs, from the front row.

LOSE YOUR VOICE
Can you understand me?
Of course, you can -
FROM A DREAM
I come from
the moon,
a star,
the sea,
the waves,
Mother and Father,
love making,
a little room by the seaside
and from a dream.

i've read your poems and they are stunningly beautiful and powerful. i have a milder form of cerebral palsy which means i feel like i am constantly on a seesaw between the disabled and the able world...I have started writing myself this year and this is one of my poems...it's called 'Torn'..
A new day breaks
rays scorching sky -
