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!

Wisteria
I could smell the sweet perfume
Of the beautiful wisteria!
A pretty purple bush,
Reminds me of warm summer evenings
In Cornwall, a place that is so lush!

I used to watch the sea
Splashing up at me
As it hit the rocks
And then I’d walk back up the hill
Passing the beautiful wisteria bush!
And Smelling the beautiful Wisteria scent, so lush!

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!

The beautiful sky
The lustre of the beautiful stars
And planets pluto and mars
In a black velvet sky
To a welcoming eye
And a moon shining bright
It’s a beautiful night
And the air is cool
Making you drule
The peace and the quiet
Is a simple delight
Welcoming the night
It’s a beautiful sight
Mankind can’t destroy
All of this joy
That is  all free
For all, for you and for me!

Someone bit the moon
The moon wasn’t quite complete this morning!
Six am when the day was dawning!
It was missing its bottom bit
As I looked right up at it
It wasn’t even a crescent
I don’t think it was bitten by a pheasant
A pheasant is just too pleasant
It could have been a gull
You know they’re never full
It could have been a swallow
Their little mouths are hollow
I think it was hit by a spaceship
When it’s driver was having a kip!

The world could have a happier race!
With the recipe of peace!

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!

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!!!!!!

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! “
Not everything is perfect in this world
And sometime ago
Like most others there have been times
I didn’t want to be here
I thought of jumping off the cliffs
Into the sea
I couldn’t do it Because that would be me
Gone
I have a daughter and a son
They kept me alive!

Squirrel
I filled the bird seed carrier today
But hey
I put the coconut half out to hang
On the feeder
What a little bleeder
A squirrel took it away

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!

Ageing
The ageing process is happening to me,
The wrinkles are coming
So I can see,
Everything is heading south!
Including my eyes, nose and mouth,
The double chin,
Well that could do with a pin!
The belly needs a tuck,
Or even a lipo ****!
But it’s the aches and pains,
The varicose veins ,
Thank fully I’ve Not got yet,
I sweat!
I need more sleep!
Or I’m in a heap,
I’m always tired
My brain is becoming unwired!
At times!

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!

A parallel world
Another world
Another place
Another time
I’d have pictures of Monet on my wall
A massive room where I can dance
I’d have it all!
I’d have a ball,
I’d stand tall!

Panther
Panther panther
Of the night
Out where the stars shine so bright
Oh what a beautiful creature you are
Your eyes twinkle like a star

I’d love a panther
Of my own

My favourite creature of man that’s known

Panther panther
You are to me
Such beauty
For us all to see!

I’m lost
I’m lost
The cost
(Miles on the electric car)
I’m cold

It’s dark
I park
(Getting stressed)
I stop, I rest

Sat in the car
Not far
Near by
( so sat nav says)
Oh my days
But where’s
The place

I bang at a door
And ask
Great
They know
I go

And there
A beautiful place
I face
It sure was worth the wait !

Laughter
Laughter
Of course they say
Laughter is good
Good for the soul
Good for the heart
Laugh out loud
Laugh in a crowd
Laugh anywhere
You are allowed
Laughter is lovely
Laughter is fun
Laughter is juveley
Excuse the pun
Laughter keeps you alive
Laughter helps us survive!
Laugh a little
Laugh a lot
Laughter is Brittle
Laughter is spread
Laughter is contagious
So it’s been said
One laughs then another
Until you cry
Doubled up laughing
Teardrops drops from the eye
Good for your soul
I can not deny!

Weather warning
There’s a weather warning out
The wind is going to clout
They say it’s the west
But it came unto the east
It has a name, the beast !

Well the rain came down
Luckily we didn’t drown
Heavy though it was

Then the wind attacked our garden
Turning over furniture
Moving Buddha quite a way
And that was only yesterday

I hate to know what next
What will it do today?
The wind makes me quite nervy
Everything topsy turvey
Indoors I think I’ll stay !

Words only words
Words are so powerful they can lift you up,
Like a half filled cup!
Sometimes words can drag you right down,
Like a half empty mug!
That’s when you need a hug!

Tom Wait's Rosie
Sitting on his windowsill
looking at the moon,
Left with a melody from Rosie,
Wanting to know, for why did she evade
the advances of love, he had lovingly made?
Looking at the big apricot tipped moon
in his indigo sky,
What a romantic scene to you and I?
He's been loving Rosie since he was born
and will love her until his dying day!
His undying love for Rosie, is what I would say!

Life is limited
I haven’t done much poetry lately
Too much going on
A sick husband and a very poorly friend
I need to care for whilst they are there for
Because life is fickle life is frail
We’re not immortal we can fail
Nothing lasts forever
It’s like a feather
It floats, it’s fragile,
But for a while
We can live
And we can smile!
Make the most
And run that mile!

Peaceful and quiet
Peaceful and Quiet A sheer delight!
It’s so peaceful and quiet here
at Sleights in Yorkshire,
I’m winding down like a clockwork orange as it peals away the stress of life!
A visit to the coast is nice
Just to see the sea swish swash up the rocks and onto the beach,
And the air is fresh and clean!
The sound and the smell of the sea to me is a treat to the senses!
And back at Sleights the steam train passes and peeps as it goes!
The beautiful big old trees, elm ash, birch and oak stand proud in the grounds tall and poised!
The plants and flowers are so pretty and bright they smell so beautiful especially at night!
The atmosphere here is surely heaven!
A sumptuous place even better than Devon!
I was inspired in September when we went to stay at my friends flat near Whitby

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!

A New Year
Well Christmas is over for this year
As the year comes to a close
A new year will open
As the last one just goes
Memories are past
As we take what life throws
The good and the bad
Everyone knows
Good times we’ve had
And Those times on our toes
Another year over
For some may be sad
But some may say
They are just glad!
And New Years Day
Will be a Happy one I pray!
Happy New Year Everyone May it be healthy and happy for everyone with all my love x

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!

On earth
The greatest achievement in the world on earth
Is to be able to love one and all
And one of the amazing things in life is new birth
And simply watching a waterfall
To see the stars twinkle at night
Is quite amazing
When the moon is bright
And the spirit is rising
In a beautiful world like ours
Just imagine the dark
And just spending the hours
Making your mark
In the world
Just
Being!

Aware
Feel the skin you’re in
Against the seat you’re sat
And the air around
With your hand you pat
Hear the sounds around
Or the silent hum
Be aware of your being
And your presence in!

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!

My Poetry
Someone told me once
that I should write for me
in my poetry

But I really want
to write for others to make them happy
in my poetry

So here in this poem
you will surely see
in my poetry

Laugh out loud
laugh a lot
at my poetry!

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!

Dreaming
Dreaming

We all dream
But don’t always remember
But dreams can be amazing
Or crazy as sin!

I seem to dream
Dreams that I’m in
Of weird and wonderful buildings
I don’t know where to begin!

But the best dream would be
Just floating in a beautiful blue sea
With a golden sandy beach
And a nice warm sun
And a gentle breeze
Just sounds so perfect
This, can I dream please?

Or being with nature
In a forest at night
With fireflies playing
Giving some light!

Dreaming is fun
Even an unpleasant one
Its just like a bedtime story
Great fun or gory!

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!

The Amazing Omaze draw
The clock is ticking
Soon the Omaze draw
Some lucky person
Will get the key to the door
It’s the one that we want
And we want it just more

Let’s hope we’re lucky
I beg, I implore
To win the brilliant
Omaze draw!
Because I want it more!

From your inspiration
You inspire me
With your emotive words of wisdom
You are the key
To my motivation

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 !

This Morning
A chilly morning at 6 am
Off for a walk after REM
Not quite awake yet
But At least it’s not wet
There’s a nip in the air
no I haven’t done my hair
Thrown on a t shirt and a pair of shorts
On the fashion rating I’d get all noughts
My dog decides our route
Ok so she is so very cute
Ninety minutes we have walked
Yes in silence I haven’t talked
Home ward bound now
Dog on tow
When we’re back I just know
She will fall asleep, way to go!

Sun in the morning
The sun was out this morning
Twinkling through the trees
Peeping at me and warning
That the rain is on its way today
enjoy the sun while the day is dawning
But it was cold and the wind was blowing
And all of this had me yawning
So after our long long walk
Im on my way back home and back to bed !

A living Tree
A tree is alive Living a life
Do they feel pain and strife?

A tree can out live us all
Until they die or fall

A tree may have feelings
So give them a hug

Talk to your tree
Then you might see

The tree is growing bigger
And more beautiful
Happier
More fruitful

A tree is a living creature
It grows
It knows
But can it see?

I believe
I believe
In God Almighty
I believe
In prayer
I believe
In love
I believe
He’s there
I believe
I believe there is some higher force power but I also believe in being positive and prayer ! my best friend is a very strong believer and prays  to God and has faith and it has kept her going through stage 4 cancer , the strength she has is amazing! I only wish my prayers be answered to win big on the lottery so I can help the homeless and other charities and people who need help ! Incidentally if anyone needs help I am a qualified hypnotherapist and do it for free and have a BSc in Psychology so message me if you want to talk ! Love to all! 💗🌹💗
The birds are all visiting the bird table
They’re all eating as they are able
It’s cold out there
And I do really care
So I drop some more seeds on the table
When ever I am  able
Suet chunks are hanging
Left over bread I throw out on the lawn
I couldn’t just leave these poor creatures forlorn! So I feed them all, day, night and dawn!

Dark so dark
This morning it was dark , so dark
Not a sound abound not even a lark
I looked out but there was nothing to see
The black velvet darkness
was there in front of me
Like if I’d closed my eyes
and gone to sleep !
Think it was the contrast of seeing the hunter moon on previous nights , it just looked exceptionally dark!

Patience
Calm
And patient be
No harm
To wait
Be patient
Please
Relax
And stop
Just
For a minute
And wait
Be patient
Please
One moment
Just stop
And chill
Relax
If you will
And wait!

I’m here
I’m never late!
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!

A pretty poppy to see!
The poppy seeds are ready
And steady
To plant
And want
To grow
I know
Maybe slow
But
Are afoot
On their way
To live
And give
Such pleasure
A pretty poppy
To see
For you and for me!

My dreams
My dreams
It seems
Can be
Wierd and wonderful
Crazy but cool
All mixed up
As a general rule

I dream of unfinished buildings
Crazy hotels
Parking the car
Somewhere bizarre
going to a restaurant with no food
As a foodie that's not so good

but best of all is when I dream
of lying on a beach
on a private island
Eating ice cream!
Sunning myself and smiling!

Jack frost
I love Jack Frost
He’s cool
He’s kind
He’s cold
He’s Refined

He twinkles on the pavement
Glistening and listening
cold but fresh
But I’m not nesh!

I love Jack Frost
He’s cool
He’s kind
He’s cold
He’s refined!

He kills the bugs
That we don’t want
By freezing them
And seizing them away

I love lack frost
Jack Frost is welcome most any day!

Where does time go?
Where does time do, I don’t really know?
It’s flown away like a bird in the wind!
Why does time not last?
It goes so very fast!
It’s now here!
And Then
It’s gone!
Passed!
