What am I?
never mind
I've no name

you do not see my face
a nobody of the human race

yet I breathe and move
invisible in every place

I have life
am never static
though to no abode
do I stick


I drift and I wander
in infinite space


I am change
constant flux
transformation
a crossover from yesterday
a moment in time's spectrum
a bridge to future's way

whether night or day
in silence you can feel me
in the smile of the child
the warmth of the mother
holding her tiny one
the  kind stretching hand
reaching out to the destitute
the lonely, the desolate
the marginalised
the forgotten women and men

the stars and the moon
they keep me company

like all of you
sadness moves me
to tears-
mankind lives
in melancholy

at the deepest hour of night
when gentle breezes distil the air
you would find my whisper there
* after Walt Whitman and Emerson
That grey sky
Oh my oh my
Could mean rain
Not rain again
There were  puddles this morning
When the day was dawning
Everything was wet wet wet
But that’s what you get
When the rough weather is here
It’s that time of year
When the leaves have fallen
And the trees are becoming bare
The wind is howling
The temperature has dropped
Oh my goodness it’s winter
Already I am quite shocked!
Why does time go so very fast
When you’re having fun it just doesn’t last
When the sun is shining and the air is clear
Down comes the rain oh yes it’s here
When that cake you’re eating tastes so good
It gone within minutes as I know it should
When I think back twenty years
Of my youth it brings me tears
And I think forward in only ten years
I have my upmost fears
I’ll be in my seventies!
My poetry
It is my breakfast
It is my lunch
It is my tea
It is my dinner
It is my supper
It is me
My poetry

Poetry is the food of life!
Give me the peace within
I ate a whole box of chocolates
And that is a sin
Regret
In a sweat
So I’ll walk twice as far in the morning
Briskly whilst I’m yawning
Orange matchsticks
Milk chocolate and crunchy pieces of orange
They were delicious!
Your love lifts me up
Ever since you were a pup
Unconditional love
A beautiful love
Your love is lifting me higher
In front of a beautiful fire
Where night turns to day
I only have to say
Give me a love
And you’re there!
