Your love
Your love of which is my desire
lifts me up and takes me higher
It Makes me feel I'm floating on a magic carpet
Plays with my head makes me feel woozy
In a good sort of way without being *****
And all my senses go astray
Like its just another day
A perfect day, I would say!
With your love!

what a lovely storm
After a very hot day
lightening started flashing
Thunder started crashing
The rain came hammering down
The air started to cool
The plants and trees
Are all at ease
The rain is bouncing of the rooves
running down the little grooves
The lightening lights up the room
As the thunder crashes with a great big boom
And the thunder shouts as the clouds just
Crash into each other as the wind now gusts
Thrusting the trees
And washing the leaves
But oh what a lovely storm!
Oh my goodness! Never expected this!
The water is warm and bubbly
I feel the Jets of air hit upon my skin
So gently rippling as they go
Massaging my skin and every part of me
With drops of rain falling down on me
The air is cool as I sink down into the warmth of the hot tub warming my bones
And I’m in throws of relaxation and pure elation! It may be raining out there but do I really care?

A white feather
A white feather

I was always told,
A white feather was a loved one lost,
I would therefore treasure that feather,
At all cost!

Fathers Day
Dad you were to me
A good father
Although you are not here with us now
you're sitting on a star
with mum there by your side
we'll never forget you
And we still love you dearly!

Middle of the night
Its the middle of the night!
But that's alright
I'm not tired
My brain is wired
The neurones fired
I want to write
in the middle of the night!

The wind
Just look at the wind out there
it isn't half blowing a gale just now
but at least there's a blue sky
and fluffy white clouds
just floating by
the weeping willow
is swinging in tune to the wind
the leaves on the trees are rustling
as they blow in the breeze,
The bamboo is waving too,
But at least the sun is shining through
and the rain has gone for now
but as the branches bough
and the trees bend down low
the wind is quite ferocious just now!
By gum its windy!

A Winter Beach
A winter Beach

I Went to the beach in winter
Clambered over the pebbles
Down to the sand
And it couldn’t wait to come up to meet me
It was rough and bounding
Like a big bouncy dog
I jumped up the side
Like a big floating log
Then the waves rolled back
And I just bolted up to the pebbles
To a safer retreat
Watching the sea and its beauty
Is a real treat
To me!

Losing you
I hear the air rushing
Through your mask
To your lungs
It’s a mean old task
Things said and unsung
I know you love me
And I have to be strong
I love you too
Because together we belong
I know I need to be patient
As I know you’re very ill
Sadly you’re not ancient
But I’m here for you until
The time You no longer need me
But I will need you still!
Losing you just isn’t right
I‘ll still hear you breathing through the night!
But when you’re gone
I’ll be the dying swan!

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!

Beautiful Trees
All trees are beautiful!
But those bearing fruit are beautiful, fruitful and dutiful!
But I love a tree that flowers like the cherry blossom tree,
I can sit and watch for hours all those pretty pink flowers
Hanging down and eventually dropping to the ground
without a single sound!
Trees are quiet, they see, and don't speak,
but their profound beauty says it all
They stand there masterful and some are so tall !
Looking down upon us all!

Colours
Red is rouje
Like roses in bloom
Green is vert
Like the leaves on the trees
Yellow is jaune
Like the sun as it rises
Black is noir
Like the dark of the night
Brown is brun
Like delicious chocolate
White is blanche
Like the clouds in the sky!

Central to my heart
Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

My love for you is real
But can you not just feel
The love from inside of me

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

So what is it
That’s in your heart
Do you really feel for me?

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

So when you go to sleep
Is it me that’s on your mind
Or am I just dreaming

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

Poor little bird
Her days were numbered
The poor little bird
A tussle in the tree
And off flew a hawk
The poor little bird
Plopped down on the ground
In jumped the cat
Bird in mouth
But Gently held
As I took her from him
And held her gently in my hand
Lying still and forelorn
I thought she was hurt
So I gently stroked her wings
And just by surprise
Off she flew
Safe once again
And hopefully good as new!

Lucky
Some people are lucky in life
Where as others are lucky in love
Some are prosperous right from birth
while others have to work work, work,
I look at these big houses as I drive by
And wonder who lives there, oh my!
Do they know how lucky they are
Some even drive a fancy car
They say money isn’t everything
Well money is essential
And without it you could certainly die!

Sun and Moon
I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare,

If the birds in the trees didn’t sing to please
The silence would be cutting
If the sun failed to come out
It would certainly be quite gutting

Our world relies
On whats out there
in the skies
The light
The sun
How dark how bright
The stars in sight
The clouds
The sun rise
The sun set
The thunder
The lightening
The rain
The snow
The water helps things grow!


I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare!

Love grows
From the tip of my fingers to the top of my nose,
My love for you grows and grows!

How much I really love you
And how much I really care
Nobody really knows
It’s between us I suppose!

From the top of my head
To the top of my toes
Everyone knows
I really love you
And I don’t just suppose!
I do actually know!

A tree in a street
J’aime l’arbre Dans la rue
I love the tree in the street
It’s a weeping willow
And it’s very sweet
It’s leaves are so green
It’s Branches hang
And what I mean
The willow sang
It’s a weeping willow!

our faithful friends
The beauty of her unconditioned love
she came from God above
She curles up on my knee
so snug and gently
she wont leave my side
I can not hide
my love for her is deep
she's now so sound asleep
like a baby lamb
like a mother and a child
so cuddly and cute
to stroke her soft white fur coat
feels beautiful to me
as she gently licks my hand
an ultimate pleasure you understand
A dog is for life
She is my life

Thunder
I like the sunshine
I like the rain
I even like the thunder
it sort of soothes my brain

I enjoy the light show
of the lightening as it strikes
Sheet lightening and fork lightening
but scary it is oh yikes

perhaps I have thunder
in my heart
and lightening in my soul
Thunder is only just a part

Thunder and lightening is the whole!

A presence
I feel the presence
Of a spiritual being
Maybe an angel
Is that what I’m seeking

A smell of perfume
And a gentle gust of cold air
Standing up are goosebumps and
On my arms, my hair

I know he or she means no harm
May be someone close to me
Because I feel so calm
Who or what could it be?
73 · Aug 2020
Im back!
Back to work!
Oh no, oh no,
Gotta go!
Yes I know,
got used to being at home
back now on the roam
but it wasn't that bad
good time was had
but tired, so tired
Although my brain is back wired!
Good to be hired!

A Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Up in the dark
Think I’ll take the dog for a walk
Hey ** what a dark, dull day!
Bark, bark what a cold day
When you say, hey!
Say, That you love me,
Your love,
Just seems to warm me
Hey hey hey could be a beautiful day
And we can walk the dark and cold away!
Inspired by the song “Sunday morning up with the lark, think I’ll take a walk in the park...... was it Cat Stephens or ?????

Ingredients
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of rain
All mixed in with a little bit of rhyme
Add a little bit of music
It would be just divine
A little bit of peace
Would just do me fine
A little bit of laughter
Add a little bit of fun
All mixed together
Completed the recipe
And now it’s all done!

My life
My life is mine,
It’s my only life,
This is my life,
And my life is yours!

The love in my life
Of the life of mine,
Is you, is you, is you!

When I sleep
I will rest
But death I shall pause!

And the peace I have got
In my heart of course
Will be yours, yours, yours!
Inspired by Leo Marks (1920-2001)poem ’The life that I have’

My Moose
My Moose

You make my heart miss a beat
Your soft coat I stroke, cos so sweet
You worry me when you don’t eat
You turn your head when I speak
When I say walkies you’re on your feet
My love for you is so Complete
When it’s hot you feel the Heat
Visitors come you greet and Meet
Everyone thinks you’re so Neat
You cuddle up upon the Seat
And I just love to give you a Treat!

My Granny
My Granny
May Malone
Was a lovely lady
Sadly she was alone
Grandpa died when I was ten
I remember his grave stone
All that time back then
Granny was such a brilliant cook
She didn’t have to use a recipe book
She cooked straight from the heart
To her it was a simple art
Mushed up cabbage was simply delicious
But the sheep brain butties I was suspicious
Thought it was cottage cheese
I said no thanks, oh please!
My mum did laugh
I spat it out with upmost wrath
She thought it was funny
I washed out my mouth
Then grabbed some honey
We had such fun way back then
And fun with grandpa before I was ten!
Falling in love
Can make me blue
Especially falling in love with you
Its the music and the gin
tends to make me want to sin
but not usual in an ordinary day

It's when my heart calls out for you
I just don't know
why I do
Cos falling in love with you
Would be wrong
Like in Tom Waits song

You belong to someone else
but that's not why I want you
You stood out there
and caught my eye
I saw you look at me I'd die
To have you close to me.
Inspiration from Tom Waits song "I hope I don't fall in love with you"
Close your eyes
Sit somewhere safe
Relax and unwind
taking in slow deep breathes
you can see inside your eyelids
and hear what's going on
and as you go a little deeper
imagine you're in the sun
feel the warmth all over
now you're having fun
as you relax and unwind
as the day is done
you will surely find
peace, perfect, peace
and a very healthy mind
In the name of hypnotherapy
I love being hypnotised!
I love hypnotherapy its awesome! I hypnotise myself! It gives me peace and an  escape! Everyone can do it, its simply a deep, deep relaxed state. Its just lovely!
One persons art
Might strike up the heart
But another piece may not

Everyone is different
In what they perceive
In what they see
In what they believe

A masterpiece
May be a feast for the eyes
But don’t be surprised

Everyone is different
In what they perceive
In what they see
In what they believe

A picture to you
Might be quite new
But could be quite old

Everyone is different
In what they perceive
In what they see
In what they believe!

Midnight coming
Quick off to bed now
Midnight is coming
It’s five to Twelve
It’ll soon be another day
Tonight is nearly gone
Tomorrow is nearly here
As midnight chimes
A new day is dawning
Middle of the night
Now early morning!

What a Splendid Day
The sun came out yesterday
What a splendid day,
There were birds and the bees and the butterflies in the trees
The pollen was up so I had to sneeze,
The grass had grown and was lush, thick and green,
What a really wonderful scene!

The flowers and plants were at their best
The sun came down from the West
And showed off all their beauty
Especially the viola it is such a cutie
Draping over its hanging basket
I wouldn't bust a gasket
It started off so straggly
Even quite raggedly
Now its bloomed beautifully
And I care for it dutifully!

But what a splendid day
The sun makes everything look so bright
It takes away the grey
Until the dark of night!
At the end of the day!

Our world our planet worries me there’s so much destruction!

The Occular
The Occular
What an amazing thing
The Occular that technology should bring!
I whiled away my long lazy day
Watching the Occular
I started with National Geographic and looked at other things like dinosaurs!
How amazing, how surreal how real, how beautiful to see such awesome films so close yet far away. The beautiful animals were just amazing!
The Occular takes you away
Like dreams so vivid
Nice to spend your day!

Me
Me
I’m fully a female
Voluptuous at that
With a 66 year old figure
Ok yes I ‘m fat
But do I care
As I’m happy with that
And despite all
I love handbags clothes and shoes
And shop in the mews
I like to look smart
And this is an art

Saturday
Saturday morning Up with the fog
Think I’ll take a walk with the dog
She’s walking so fast I think I will jog
Whoops just be careful just mind that log

It’s cold
It’s dark
It’s foggy
It’s 6am
And I feel quite groggy!

Finally home
From our roam
Back to bed
To rest my head!
A visit from celestial beings

I feel the soft cool Egyptian cotton sheet against my skin
As it slowly slides off my body like the trickle of water sliding down a Rose
Soft and gentle stroking my skin
My silk gown Is floating
And the orchestra played
A crescendo of beautiful music
The ultimate of course
As I ascend and levitate in the
Bouquet of night
With night flies at the window
And fairy wings flying
And as the dream comes to close
I descend slowly and gently
Onto the Egyptian cotton sheet
And turn over into a deeper deep sleep!

No sense
Is is quiet before the storm
Silent and calm
Because lately
Things are not quite stately
Stress yes stress and more stress
What a mess
I guess
Everything happens at once
It’s all nonse
No sense !
Christmas Eve we got a nearly £4k bill from our energy suppliers after us asking for a bill for nearly 2 years, they said we didn’t exist at one stage, and they finally sent it Arrived Christmas Eve along with a debt collection demand ! Didn’t even forewarn us or discuss and put straight to debt collection no warning! Their fault entirely! We’ve Gone to energy ombudsman! They have caused us so much stress! its unbelievable !

Stay with me
We are born and we eventually die
We are not immortal
Unless we find that portal
Stay with me

Sadly we lose
Those of whom we love
Unless we find that portal
Stay with me

Everyone will eventually die
We have to face this fact
Unless we find that portal
Stay with me!

I am and was
At 40 life began
Went surfing and bought a supra sports car
The fast and furious one
At 45 I remarried a wonderful man
Still together like birds of a feather
At 50 we stayed at Rick Steins , I’m a fan
At 55 I bought a bungalow, yeh I know!
At 60 we had a party to celebrate
To get this far and not be late
At 65 I’m still alive,
I am !

Dramatics of weather
Very cold
But it’s winter
Artic air
Extreme
Cuts with a knife
The wild wild wind
Frost twinkling on the pavement
Pretty though
Ice in every puddle
No water to be seen
Freezing
So so cold
Minus five
Stay alive

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!

In pain
Won’t take your pills
Migraine
Other pains
You say you don’t want to be here !
What can I do but comfort you?
Always grim?
What can I do, When I love someone like you?
You’re stubborn you won’t accept help!
You’re grumpy and your mind is set!
But bless none the less you’ve got a good soul and heart!

Bamboo
It started as a tiny plant
Green and lush
And I placed it by the garden shed
It bloomed and grew
To a massive size
A lovely feast for my eyes
It’s bigger than the shed
That said
It may have gone crazy but it’s a beautiful sight!
And for me a treasure and a delight!

Wisteria
The wisteria has grown
and is wrapping around the garden seat,
I can't wait until the warm summer evenings
to smell the lovely scent,
It reminds me of Cornwall
not that many years ago,
when I walked the beach road  
smelling wisteria as I go.
