Retirement
The pain in my neck
The fatigue
I need a break

I keep on going
Never slowing
I keep it flowing

I need to slow
But I don’t know how
I go and I go

I sweat
From all the chocolate I ate
Another symptom I bet

I can’t sleep
My cough gets me up
When I sleep deep

I want to retire and write
Even in the middle of the night
It would be a sheer delight!!!!!!
I can’t wait for retirement so I can spend more time writing poetry! Sad to wish ones life away at 62!  Five years to retirement !!!!!!!

Nearly May
The morning light after the dark long night
And the fresh morning air blowing in my hair
Is a beautiful feeling
The pleasure I’m stealing
Up with the lark
And down to the park
Birds singing their hearts out
Such beauty without a doubt
A good start to the day
Better weather on its way
As the sun shines down on me
It’s beautiful to see
The flowers coming out
nature so devout
It’s another beautiful day
And it’s now nearly May!

When I’m gone
When I am gone from this world
Remember me as a poet
I know I’ll be whirled
Into space as we know it!

Please don’t be sad
I’ve enjoyed the life that I’ve had!

Mortality
People have died and are still dying
Of covid we're crying
But people are still dying of cancer
well there is no answer
It’s sad but true
No matter what we do
We’re not immortal
Sadly eventually we all have to go to the portal!
The portal of mortality!

so cold
The frost was glistening on the ground
this morning
like lots of little coloured stars all around
the air was very cold
it was silent, there was not a sound
Icy cold but the sun was shining
after our walk we were homeward bound
to warm and cuddle up all cosy
Back to bed with my hound!

The stars
I always wondered about those twinkley stars
Up in the sky between us and Mars
I truely really believe
When we die we sit upon a star
They say right now they may not exist
They’re dead and gone beyond the mist

But when you look up to the sky
You’ll see those stars all twinkling by
A universe out there up high
That I believe is there but why

The beauty we can see up there
Up in a midnight super sky
What is it I have to Pry
The wonder of the dark night sky!

Everything on Earth
Everything on earth is moving
Including you and me
It’s time that keeps molecules together
As far as I can see
Solid ground beneath our feet is all an illusion to you and me
That’s how it has to be
But when it all crumbles or erupts
Like a volcano or an earth quake
The particles you can see
Diffuse and even shatter
And we get hidden in the walls
There’s may be a parallel universe
Moving in a different time and space!
Sadly we have to face!
So much for the human race!

Everyone Matters
Everyone matters
No matter who they are
We all come into this world
With nothing
And we leave this life too with nothing
We are all the same as each other
Our skeletons certainly are
We’re all flesh and blood
Our blood is red
And when we’re dead
We’re gone either buried or cremated
Ashes to ashes we’re gone
But our spirit lives on and on!
So come on all ye together
And live in peace
Love each other
Be kind
Because everyone matters
We’ve got to stick together
And put our woes behind!
“Love your neighbour as yourself! “

I only wish
I wish the world would be free
And black and white unite
And simply let life be
And not have to fight

We are the only species on earth
That pray upon each other
From when we come in birth
To when we leave our mother

So stop right now
And think
We should all just vow
To put it all in ink

And make every effort
To live together in peace
Before all our lives just cease
From foes and fights and disease!

Positive !
Never be negative
Be positive
It’s the only way

Say something nice
To someone
Every single day

Snuggle up
Come snuggle up with me tonight
And I can stroke your velvet hair
Together we will be alright
We will breathe in the air that we share
We’ll snug up nice and tight
And sleep all snug through the night!

Little noises
Little noises that they make!
But they do not wake
When they are all curled up asleep
probably when they’re sleeping deep
The cat wheezes and sometimes snores
You hear her through the open doors
The dog has what I suppose are dreams
And cutely yelps it seems
Her little legs twitching
She’s running or she’s itching
But still she stays asleep
And still she doesn’t peep!
Those beautiful little noises
Are like a bunch of red roses!
The love ❤️

Thanks
To write
Is a sheer delight

To see
Is a gift To me

To breathe
Is a relief

To be alive
Is an honour just To survive

Poetry is my love
With thanks to God above!
Thank you God!
I feel guilty when I leave you
It’s what I have to do
To go up on my way
I travel to work one day
The next day I return, coming back to you!
On ward Home I do!

I don’t like leaving you
Years to go are few
But as I’m not retired yet
The work is there and I am set
To full fill my working days
And then in time I’ll retire and laze!

And spend all my days with you!

It’s windy
The wind gusts and roars
Banging at the doors
Tree branches swinging
What’s the wind bringing
Gates open with force
From a gush of course
The washing is off the line
Hey that’s mine
and it’s off down the road
I’m blowed!!!!!!

Because I love you
We snuggle up
We cuddle
I kiss you
You lick my face
You know how I’m feeling
As I do you
You’re faithful and endearing
Because I love you!

You’re in my heart
And in my soul
A soul mate
A best friend forever
Because I love you!
Moose is my beautiful poochon! I love her with all my heart and soul!

Walking
The cutting wind
Stings my face
Despite all that,
out walking is ace
Sod the weather
I do it with grace
I love to walk
No matter what
Rain or shine
What ever we’ve got
I’m out and about
Using the feet I’ve got
Keeping my blood flowing
And my face glowing!
I’m out every day
As long as I may!

Wow it’s Snow
Wow it’s snow
Out through the door at 6 am
Walkies time and off we go
Only to meet a mini blizzard

The little white flakes
Blew in my face
So so cold they were not fakes
It’s April for goodness sake

I know the forecast said it would
I didn’t quite believe
Now I know I should
The snow came down

Bit it didn’t stick!!!!!!

The Seasons are changing
The seasons are changing
The air was cool this morning
But the sun began to shine
It’s coming Spring now
And it is really quite divine
The subtle smell of scent
From the flowers and trees so fine
Was really quite endearing
Spring its way
I think this is the sign!

Passion
The power of passion
Love can do amazing things
But love can ****
Those angel wings

Passion can be painful
Passion can hurt
Passion can ****
Passion can be Curt

But passion with love
With a blessing from above
With peace and pleasure
Is the right kind of measure!

So use your passion well
Keep your passion honest
And you surely will
Reap your passion well!

From your inspiration
You inspire me
With your emotive words of wisdom
You are the key
To my motivation
You help me see
The passion and the pain
Just let it be
Keep up your writing
And your positivity
To all who it is delighting
You surely hold the key!
With love to you from me!
Inspired by Imran! Thank you my darling!  You’ll find Imran Islam’s  books on Kindle and Amazon and a few of mine too! Love you Imran !

The Origins of Life
The origins of life
Now was it Darwinism or Adam and Eve or could it be an alien who left us to breed?
Any which way we evolved !
Even if we came from a seed!
The real question is did we come from the ashes?
And in time do we go back to the ashes?
And how did we form down from our nose and eye lashes?
The big question is the origins of life?
Where did we come from and where do we go?
I simply can’t tell you because I just don’t know!

Bucket list
On my bucket list
I've often kissed,
This is what I want to do:-
Go to America with all of you,
Go on a cruise again and again!
Down the Danube or the Seine,
Sing a song and not make it rain!
Fly a helicopter or a plane!
Soak in a bath of sweet Chanel!
Boy how pretty I would smell!
I guess there's more
Dance the tango on the floor!
Swim in the lakes
Make some pretty yummy cakes
And skinny dip in the sea
I think that's it, and this is me!

Wind
I burp, and say pardon
I pass wind in the garden
We all have wind
But it is the dog who I blame
We all do it I claim
Wind in the willows
Wind from the gut
Let your wind flow
Wherever you go!
I stopped to hear
something so very dear,
birds singing in the trees!
It was sure to please!
Champagne to my ears!
The sound brought me to tears,
Happy tears.
It was so uplifting and something so wonderful!
To hear those birds sing so sincere and so very dutiful!

SNOW
Snow
Snow is falling
The scene is calling
As I watch from my window seat
Having a cuppa and something to eat
The snow is deliciously delightful
The sky is an eye full
The silence it gives off is amazing
It brings a calm and cool atmosphere it’s dazing
The snow slows everything down
There’s such beauty all around
Peaceful and quiet
Bright and so white
The white ****** snow is a sheer delight!
Doesn’t matter day or night!
It lights the sky
So bright to the eye!
Little white flakes falling
Different sizes and shapes
Put on your coats and capes
Your wellies and your drapes
And make a snowman ⛄️
Before it melts!
I do love the snow! I remember such fun as a child each year making snowmen and having cold wet hand so much fun and so beautiful but cold so cold!

It brings a calm and cool atmosphere it’s dazing
That slows everything down
There’s such beauty all around
Peaceful and quiet
Bright and so white
A sheer delight!

Credence
Credence
To believe is a beautiful thing
To have faith in God our king
Helps you through all you do
And for the many or just the few,
Who have credence too,
Helps them cope and gives them hope,
Helps them down the path of life,
Holds back the toll and strife,
Gives you something to believe in,
Helps you live within your skin,
And evade any mortal sin,
Then in life you will win!
Don’t throw your life into the bin,
Credence choice and now begin!

Walkies in the rain
Walkie’s in the rain!
It’s a cold wet morning today
But we’ve got to go out anyway
As the cold bites my finger tips
And the rain comes down in heavy drips
It’s profusely raining
And the large puddles just aren’t draining
And as we walk we’re getting wetter
Wishing the weather was a little better
Around the block
Beating the clock
Homeward bound
Feeling half drowned
And back to bed
All snuggled up to rest my head!
Jan 2021 · 163
It’s black out there
It’s black out there tonight
Just like smooth black velvet
The dark is sharp and the air is clear
The night is crisp and cold out there
Nothing can be seen but a blackness
A Nothingness, no more, no less!
It’s black out there!

A quiet clear sky
A quiet Clear sky
It’s dark like black velvet
The stars are shining bright and clear as they can get
The moon is full like in the night
The ground is glistening silver and white
There’s ice on the ground
It’s quiet there’s no sound
Six in the morning
We’re out walking
Keep quiet don’t say a word
Keep it peaceful and Undisturbed!

But Why ?
Why does the sky have to cry
With tears falling
To the ground
As the sky does weep
In floods of tears
So it appears
As the floods get deep
then the clouds go to sleep
The floods then subside
And out comes the sun smiling
With laughter and fun
Drying up the tears
That were shed from the clouds
That they’d welled up for years
And they all put on a happy face
With sun shining
It’s a beautiful place.

Hello
Hello I’ve been looking for you
I don’t know where you’ve been
And I am not knowing
Where you are going
Or what you want to do
But you are to me my child
I am with that beguiled
A mother can only guide
And support you by your side!
Sunday morning
And the day is now dawning
Up in the snow with Moose
It’s dark and cold out there
And I surely know
The pavement is slippery
So I walk on the grass
Wondering if we should turn around and go back
But alas
We went to the field
And had a lovely big run
Moose’s best friend was there
And they sure did have some fun
They ran and ran playing chase
Having fun having a jump and a hop
Then we were off to the shop
To get a paper for my man
Back home for a cup of hot milk and a gammon and mustard sandwich
And Back to bed while I can!

Oh so cold
The cold

It’s Like silver is to gold

Ice is nice
Cold is beautiful
Cold is a delight
Cold is awesome
Cold is alright!

When the earth moves
When the earth moves
The body tingles all over
Like when the earth quakes
The body shakes
An explosion of organisms
The body breaks
And when it reforms
And the earth remakes
And the earth now feels good
A climatic experience felt
Making your body just melt!
This can be viewed in different ways!

When I first met you
When I first met you
I fell in through the door
It was at a conference
And I was on the floor
But you were there for me
And that’s what I adore
You picked me up quite fiscally
Which made me love you more!!!!
Metaphorically speaking !
Dec 2020 · 56
It’s chilly out there!
It’s chilly out there
It’s Very early morning
Or middle of the night
Even before the sun is dawning
It’s chilly out there but beautiful and bright
Everywhere is very white
Glistening and sparkling
A heavy frost and ice
Slippery, slippery but very, very nice!
The sky is clear
There’s a full moon shining so bright
The stars are all out
Twinkling up there in the sky tonight!
I’m now awake
For breakfast I had Christmas cake
For tea
It will be
Stew with Turkey for you and me!

The Christmas log is still in the cupboard
The seasonal cheesecake in the freezer
The cheesey biscuits not opened yet
we’ll save them for New year !
And once again we’ll have good cheer.

Don’t you go!
Snow
Don’t you go
I love your white flakes
Because it makes
A beautiful scene
So serene

Meteorite shower
I thought I saw a shooting star
I made a wish
Then I saw more

I thought oh wow
A shooting star
Then I saw more

I kept wishing
Upon that o shooting star
Then I saw more

And someone told me
It was a meteorite shower
Anyway that’s ok
What a wonderful site
Then I saw more!
You know
We went for a walk in the snow
It was slippy, sloppy and wet
It’s not quite Stuck not yet
We got home
From our roam
And the snow flakes
Started falling again
Big fat fluffy flakes
The ones that makes
The snow stick on the ground
And outside there wasn’t a sound
So quiet, so white,
Daytime now not night
With the white of the snow
It looks pretty and bright
I love the snow
Now you well know
I love to watch the pretty snow
Flakes fall
And land on the ground without a sound
Everything is white
What a delight!

A Covid Quiet Christmas
Well it’s been a nice quiet covid Christmas
My man and me Moose and Sam
But alas
The cooker broke
Yes no joke
So good that we had a worktop spare!
So I managed to cook the Turkey there!
So it’s been a Christmas time
With lovely food,
And drink, not like the usual I think,
Cream liqueur
I just adore
That much Turkey lurkey,
Makes me feel so perky
I’m beginning to look like one!
Turkey dinner was nice
Turkey sandwiches were good
Turkey curry is next
And with all that I’m quite perplexed!
Christmas with covid!
Dec 2020 · 51
Covid
It’s in my neck
Oh what the heck
It’s a pain
A lump grown bigger
Then go and figure
Can’t see it
Can’t free it
Covid puts a stop
To any kind of op!
Covid seems to be responsible for longer hospital waiting times consultations, scans and check ups! It doesn’t care!
Dec 2020 · 47
Snow
Snow snow
We’ve got snow
Thick and lovely
Flakes coming down
But it’s wet under foot
Will it stick
I just don’t know
Will it be white all over
Snow snow snow
All slushy
Sleet sleet sleet
Just wet and slushy
Where’s my snow
I just don’t know!
Dec 2020 · 67
Trees and you and me.
The trees hold hands beneath the soil
Their roots communicate as the meet
As their ends curl and coil
They talk about their world out there
In the sometimes cold, cold air,
And the atmosphere they share
But do they really care
Well they must do
Because they are here for me and you!
So hug a tree
You will then see
What a tree is to you and me!

Powerful words
Powerful words
How powerful spoken words alone can be ?
Not to mention written words!
Given the intonation of the words that’s said!
And even How the words
Are phrased, portrayed and paraphrased!
And what their meaning is,
They can be immensely beautiful ,
But they can be very, very sad
And hurtful, even bad!

So think before you say something !
And try to say something nice
Each and every day!
To keep the woes at bay!
And make someone a happy day!!!!!
Dec 2020 · 43
It’s a Sunday morning
It’s a Sunday morning
There’s not a soul about
It’s quiet and peaceful
I don’t hear the kiddies shout
The silence is just wonderful
The stars are still out
The sky is black as night
There’s no sunrise yet
It’s Too early yet alright !
I hear an owl a hooting
He’s looking for a bite
I saw a star a shooting
It’s like the middle of the night
But it is early morning
And theres not a single light!
Everyone’s a-sleeping
Because it’s a Sunday morning,
And so we know it’s quite alright!
