Depression
Deep depression, what does it mean?
A black cloud hanging over you
A sadness that is obscene
Where’s the light at the end of the tunnel ?
You can not see now, its just in between

Everyone is sad sometimes, especially bad times
The darkness crawls in
The mood goes downhill
It’s hard to break that cloud!

but there is a light at the end of the tunnel
You've only got to follow the light
To get better and feel right
And blast that black cloud away
Tomorrow is another day!

Pick yourself up
Anyway you can
Smile and think of the good things in life
Laugh at the funny things
Say something nice
And love yourself, be nice,

Melt the ice,
Eat the sweet
Drink the wine
Live your life
Don't let them get you down
Pull yourself up
You'll get there
We do care
Just share!

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!

A cell
A cell
It splits
It grows
into a life
Who knows
Depends
On
What life
It will be
An animal or species or
A human like you and me!

It’s Valentines Day
Today is the day
It’s Valentine’s Day
The love that we feel
Is certainly real
As we give our love to each other
Husband wife friend and lover

Today is the day
It’s Valentine’s Day
To say to each other
I love you
I always think of you
Especially today

It’s Valentine’s Day !

Black ink
Black ink
Sometimes I think
I’m wading through black ink
Never knowing
What’s in front of me
Or where I’m going
The darkness is not showing
Which way I should go
So I’ll take the path
Of least resistance
The path I think I know
Or merely where the ink takes me
For my life to grow and grow!
I wrote this in 2010 and it’s published in one of my books! I retained all copyrights!

Beautiful past
I ramble down to the beach
On a summers day
Body board under my arm
Wet suit on
I’m off and away
For yet another lovely day
Work rest and play play play
Riding the wave
Better than chocolate I crave
Sumptuous sea and soft grain sands
Sun shining down with no demands
Life in my forties Was a peach
And now in my sixties I just can’t reach
The memories are precious though
And I appreciate it all you know
But wish I was there right now
Enjoying and living the life
Without a trace of strife!

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

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!

To smoothie out my skin

I’m so relaxed now without the gin!

For me?
When the sky falls
I’ll fall due to gravity!
Don’t let the sky fall on me
Catch it if you can for me

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Because then it will be dark
And I won’t be able to see
Will you do that for me

If I get lost
Will you look for me
Will you find me
Would you do that for me?

When I die
Will you remember me
Will you pray for me
Please could you do that for me?

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!

Can’t sleep
The mind
Hurling
Burning
Squirming
The body
Twisting
Tossing
Turning
Can’t sleep

Thinking
Worrying
So deep

Tired
Unwired
Then sleep!


Snoring!

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

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 !

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!

May...........
May ......
May the owl give you wisdom,
May the magpie give you luck,
May the dove give you love and peace,
May the flowers give you perfume,
May the trees give you shelter,
May life give you what you wish!

Love Chemistry
Love is that chemistry
Two souls as one
Like floating on a lake, a beautiful swan
Two drops of rain come together as one
That's love!
Again out of my first official poetry book 'READ THIS OR ELSE' 2010

Munching
Down in the dumps
Going over the bumps
Makes me want to eat
Because I’m so beat
The bread sticks come out
No doubt
Greek Yoghurt and hot salsa
Delicious delightful and deliriously nice
I chomp and I chomp and I munch
A hand full, a bunch
Of lovely breadsticks
I crunch
Makes me feel so good !

Fact or fiction
Words can be powerful
And mean what they say
But words that are used
Can only be in great honesty

Thank you for the words
And what they’re bringing
Put the words together
And you’ll hear someone singing

But words from fiction
Can only just be
Not really meant
To you and to me

Thank you for the words
And what they’re bringing
Put the words together
And you’ll hear someone singing

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 !

A new planet
A new planet has been found
In science they say discovered
A place where life exists
It was inevitable
Would we be selfish to disbelieve ?
We’re not alone
Another time another place
We have to face
Other beings
Other life
Another time
Another place
Somewhere out there
In time and space!

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!

Dead centre
I was brought up and lived
in the dead centre of town,
Not where the shops were
No, by the cemetery, oh my,
Over the wall,
the coffins were laid,
And over the wall sometimes we played!

We'd visit the grave of George Formby,
A very famous man with his ukulele,
And chased around the graveyard just having fun,
Then climb back over the wall,
Before we got caught,
By my dad and my  mam!

Autumn leaves
The leaves are beautiful at this time of year
Sumptuous
Golden
Yellow
Red
Orange
Green

As they drop upon the ground
Making a carpet of leaves
Golden
Yellow
Red
Orange
Green

As the wind picks the leaves up
There’s a shower of
Golden
Red
Yellow
Orange
Green

Leaves!

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!

Oblivion
Oblivion, no anticipation
a slip and a fall
a loud crack
says it all
pain off the scale
to no pain at all
screams inside
no sound
unbelievable
beyond belief
no relief
wet, white face
hands like ice
sick to the teeth
silence breaks
screams
swear words heard
oblivious to the world
I'm not here
I'm somewhere else
I don't swear
its someone else!

Tripped
on the dog bowl
water on the floor
slipped and fell
legs in the air
crack
broke my leg
On Easter Sunday of all days,
and my sons 40th birthday!
Oh what a day!
Ouch broke leg 12 April 2020, now recovered but what a weird experience!

Time goes too fast!
The weeks go too fast
Blast
I’ll be old before You know
Joe
Working so hard now
Wow
To get to the goal
Pole
And eloquently retire
Inspire
Sit in front of the fire
Admire
Drinking  gin
Sin
Watching the world go by
Sigh
Relaxing and chilling
Willing
Until I die
Sigh!

Young love
On furtive land they stand
the look in his eyes became quite furtive
she thinks this is in hand
they spend a furtive day together
walking through the heather
and rolling in the sand
avoiding notice or attention
their secret meeting, band
They'd sneaked away to play
at sixteen its a start
but they sure' d take it to heart
so young but they just, don't want to be apart!
Young love simply rules the heart!
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.
83 · Aug 2020
Autumn
Blackberries
Coming through
Amid the morning due
Wild roses
Opening out
To smile at me and you
Holly bush
Producing green berries
Getting ready for  winter
Gooseberries ripening
Ready to pick
It’s Autumn
And the leaves on the ground are getting very thick !

In need, indeed
And when a friend is truly in need
You take them in and under your wing
Now they’re freed
From the harm
Somewhere safe
Somewhere calm
But beneath it all
They need care and someone to call
Special kind of Support but that’s not all
Emotionally and ****** but it all takes time!
Newstead Abbey was dull and drab
The other day when we paid a visit !
The trees were bear and spindly there,
The flowers all gone, there was not a one,
It looked sad and lonely,
If only, it was summer again, when the place looks alive with flowers and trees and the birds and the bees , when they are happy to please!
The poor place has been beaten and bashed by the wind and the rain ,
I hope it all comes back again !
Hopefully summer will be here soon to heal the wounds of the winter attack !
Beauty and colour will all come back!
Byron would turn in his grave
if he saw how sad his beloved home looks now in this miserable cold and sorrowful winter weather!

Never Judge
Never judge another soul
If you do they’ll judge you too
Never say you’re better
We’re all the same
It’s not a game
We’re born with nought
And with no doubt
We’ll die with nothing too!

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!

Your Eyes
Your eyes
They’re beautiful
No lies
They are the windows of your soul
You’re wise
And with a beautiful heart
No denies
Your love is incredible
It fills the skies
But
Your eyes
They’re beautiful!

Poetry is art
Poetry is art

Poetry is what we know
to be arty
Where we go to be arty
What we need to be arty
How we feed to be arty
Poetry is the food of life!

Gorgeous Eyes
Gorgeous eyes
Windows of the soul
A deep black hole
The colour of coal
Pretty colour iris
green and blue
And speckles of brown
Like a gem
Bright and wide
Clear and kind
Gorgeous eyes

Inspired!
I'm so inspired from others beautiful prose,
such awesome descriptions they have given
the words they pose
makes life worth living
brightens up even the darkest, dull day
the love in the words they are certainly giving!
please all keep writing is all I pray!

Quiet
Its a quiet day
in the distance not far away
I hear a dog bark
Now silence again
A delight, so quiet
A car passes by
And now its gone
Its quiet again
Peace perfect peace
time for a snooze
and let the tension
just ooze away
on a peaceful
and lovely quiet day!

Early morning rise
Early morning rise
Can hardly open my eyes
The eyelids are heavy
The body is unwilling
Just want to turn over
Don't want any bother
But she's there
Tapping my knee
Mummy," lets go walkies!"
is her ultimate plea!
Up I get and out we go
I wonder why
I'm tired you know!
But there's a silver lining here
Its so quiet and calm
And the field is quite near
So she's now happy
And I'm in good cheer!

Back in the room
Back in the room

The sun
The sea
The sky
The beach
How I would like to reach

The wind
the rain
The hail
the snow
No matter whatever the weather!

The autumn
The winter
The spring
The summer
Sometimes all rolled up in one!

The willow
The holly
The bamboo
The birch
Back in the garden

The apples
The oranges
The bananas
A bowl of fruit
Back in the room!!!

A cold winters day
It’s now morning but it’s more like night
The day is not even dawning
And that’s not quite right
The sky is filled with sleet and snow
Will it stick we just don’t know
But it’s cold and it’s damp
My bed and my blanket
Are inviting me to stay
But I can’t really spend just the whole day
Cuddled up in the warm
Perhaps a few hours until I’m in form
And ready to face leaving my dorm
To The cold damp and forlorn
Wintery weather on this week day morn!

Sunday morning
It was a Sunday morning
When the day was just dawning

The air was so cold and felt like a shroud of ice
But the sky was bright and that was nice
There was no one around
Not even a sound
No birds to be seen
All asleep in the evergreen
keeping Warm
in their dorm

It was a Sunday Morning
When the day was just dawning

True love
True love is two souls as one
The last piece of a jigsaw complete
Two sharing a heart beat
Two minds together
Strong and secure
Wanting each other
More and more


Between the two souls
The chemistry has to be
Completely right
Loving and Caring for each other
Day and night
until eternity
An infinite delight!

True love!

Rain again
Rain Again
         Rain drops falling
             Just the same
        Tapping at the window
          Tippling on the roof
       Splashing on the decking
       And here’s the real truth

                Rain
                Rain
                ­Rain
                Brain
                Drain

               ­ Rain
                Rain
                Rain
              Go away

We’ve had enough today!
               This week
               This month
               This year
               We would say!

In the natural world
The bees are buzzing
Honey have you heard
The grass is greener
On the other side

The birds visit
For their seed and fatfood
And there’s a squirrel
Who likes his coconut halves

The sky is red at night
This is shepherd’s delight
It’s peaceful and quiet
In the natural world!

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!
