Early morning  go for a coffee
write a  poem or two, get some
Inspiration, by people,watching
as they pass me on
by
Then It's back home by midday
to feed the cat put the washing
the machine on then off to sleep I
go
Wake again 5 pm write some
poems with the tv In the back
ground not really
watching
Then It's medication time take
tablets write a few more poems
then It's off to bed I go a typical
day since my wife has
gone

A distance far of memories
of all our yesterdays fulfilling
all the precious dreams we
held  from deep within where
once two hearts beat so fast but
now there's only one, that of
mine
A heart that beats much slower
now no longer beats In time
my hearts rhythm different now
Where two hearts did beat In time
Syncronised together as one

Helen influence In life
just as strong In death
still guide me through
life almost as If she still
here
I suppose she never
left where now the
house I'm living, Helen
lived on and off all her
life
The way my kitten
stares blankly at the
ceiling  perhaps our
kitten see her there
Still watching over us
all

Now I walk a lonely
path where before my
wife a similar path I'd
walked
I've slept on park
benches In field over
looking the sea, bus
stations railway
too even slept In a
zoo
I've lived 6 weeks alone
on the street but nothing
even comes close to
lose one wife but now
for me Its a only a lonely
path now that lays
ahead

I miss washing
and brushing
Helen's hair
the simple
things we
used to
do
We would go to
the park there
we'd sit and
talk about
old times
kiss and
hug
Then we'd make
our way home
arm In arm
stopping to
kiss a hug
along the
way
How I miss those
days we spent
as Helen and
Johnny and
to how we
used to
be

Twenty years have come and
past, but never thought It wouldn't
last, Almost a year since my
              Helen passed
  Oh how I miss my beloved
          HELEN
                                   ONE
TRUE
                     LOVE

Almost like a child who never
Believes his youth wouldn't last or
that he'll grow old
but sadly will come the day we
                all pass away
   Oh how I miss my beloved
                     MY
ONLY
                        LOVE

She was all I ever had, never
been loved like this before
Helen's love, a one time love
             my only love
       Oh how I miss Helen
                                  MY
            BEAUTIFUL  
                              
         ­         LOVE
