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’

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!

I’m so relaxed now without the gin!

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!

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!

The cold
I’m so so cold
The chill is pearcing
There’s a shiver inside of me
My skin feels like it’s burning
The door is open
On comes the granny blanket
I’m snuggled up now
But I’m still cold
I feel the cold a creeping
Up and down my skin
I’m afraid to go a sleeping
Afraid of what I’ll let in!
Still spooked!

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 special delivery
You came into this world
After many long hours of labour
A beautiful little face
Looking up at me
What you saw first was me
Your granny
You cried a healthy cry
Telling us you are alive
And the first thing you heard was me
Your granny!
I’d seen babies born before
But this baby
I surely do adore!
Because I am your granny!
I was there for My first grandchild born 2013 !  what a magnificent moment!

Go to sleep now
Why do we have to sleep she says,
In the night time haze!
So we can be awake during our days
But why can’t I stay awake
So go to sleep for goodness sake
It’s to charge your batteries and keep you going
And stop you slowing
And keep you growing
So sleep now My little one
It’s night time and the day is done!

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!

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!
This is one of my poems out of my first poetry book 'READ THIS OR ELSE' on Amazon! I wrote this book and published with Authorhouse. Never had any royalties! But then I just did it for me! I posted this poem today because I've just heard from my boss that there will be no more work for sometime!(as an Occupational health nurse) So I want to get a few more poetry books published more seriously and as a profession! Anyone know any good publishers  or contacts! I have another book good to go!!!!!

Especially Pat and Kath and ****** which is mine
We Girls just want to have fun !

Wind and rain
The bamboo tree is waving at me
The wind is getting worse
It’s swinging side to side
As if it has a curse
And then it stops quite still
The rain comes down at will
And now he’s getting wet
The wind comes back with force
He swings around of course
His branches shudder and shake
I hope that wind will break
72 · Aug 2020
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?
72 · Jul 2020
July
The Wind
Is howling
Like a wolf
The rain
is coming down
in buckets
It's streaming
Down the road
Its cold
Its damp
But why oh why?
It is July!

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 !

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

Beautiful people
There are so many beautiful people
Beautiful people with beautiful souls
Beautiful thoughts and beautiful words
With beautiful plans and beautiful goals
Beautiful people who write beautiful poetry!

A beautiful world
The twinkly stars in the sky
The shiny bright moon
The green leaves on the evergreen trees
The flowers
The red berries
The holly and the ivy
The sun when it shines
Make the world a celestial place

A place of beauty
A place of peace
A place of love
We can increase

The beauty of the sea and sand
The gentle flowing streams
The forests of green
Are a present to mankind

A place of freedom
A place of love
A place to share
For all who care!

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 !

My favourite foods
My favourite food
Is so good
Like smoked salmon and scrambled eggs
A treat

But I also like my fruit and veg
And blackberries off the hedge

A nice big crumpet with butter on
I’m gone
Into oblivion
So delicious

Then the naughtiest come
They fill my tum
Cake and chocolate
Yum yum yum!

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!

Passion
Passion to me
Is the colour of purple
With romance
It should be
And to dance
Romantically
Like a tango
Giving it all
Having a ball
Standing tall
Having the gall
To be
Passionate with me!
She gave a image of what it was like
In the troubled world of war
Sadly Her family were still there
Such sadness and despair
Her sadness she did share
So we gave her all our love
As we listened to her prayer
And hugged her both in turn
And told her we would share
As we offered her our prayer!

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
69 · Jun 2020
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!

Power of positivity
Power of positivity

The power of positive thinking is positively perfect,
When things start to succeed and everything is successful ,
When you have belief and you believe it will happen ,
And you’re sure it surely will!
A chocolate bar
No make it two
A Nutella jar
Shops own will do
A chocolate cake
Or brownies, make it a few
Chocolate muffins to make
Now comes the Gin
Of course it’s a sin
Try some dry ginger
It works like a ninja
Ice cream won’t go a miss
I’ll take two of this
Give me chocolate truffle ice creams
And I’ll give you a kiss!
Shopping done let’s go on the...........!
Sorry I felt like doing a daft one! I’m a chocoholic for if you didn’t know!

The Body
The body is a vessel
The heart is the engine
The mind, you will find is who we really are
The skin is for protection
The bones are for *******
The blood is the fuel
That keeps the body alive!

Busy bee 🐝
I’m a busy bee
As you’ll see
Walked the dog
Had a jog
It was nice out but very windy and cool
And as a rule
I pick blackberries enroute for a pie
Even when they start to die
The juice
A truce
All over my hands and face
Messy me as you see
Home what’s more
Mopped the floor
Oh there’s more
Washing in
Dishwasher on
Cleaned out the cat litter
Emptied the bins
For all my sins
And the morning is is only just dawning
Time for a rest
Back to bed with breakfast
Scrambled egg and smoked salmon
Washed down with a cup of tea
That’s me!
Busy bee!

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 !

The Sadness in your eyes
The sadness in your eyes,
I really don't despise,
When you're really low,
I really truly know,
You say I don't understand,
But my darling somehow, and
Someway I really do!
you think I haven't got a clue,
But I see it is the things you do!
And now you're feeling sad,
Things are really not that bad!
My hubby is a pessimist and manic depressive bless him, and I'm an optimist, which I'm told is not realistic because disappointments are few! He is my rock and my body guard!

My Moose
I love the way you look at me
And the way you snug up to me
You are so special to me
Especially when you cuddle me

I love the way you wimpier
When you have a dream
And your little legs are moving
When you’re fast asleep

And when you jump up
When I leave the room
And when I’m trying to brush up
You run off with my broom

I love the way you listen to me
Your head goes side to side
And when I say walkies
You’re ready by my side
my faithful friend
Poetry is the cake of life
The words are the nourishment
Rich and delicious
As we gently devour
Them, Keeping us fed
Hour by hour,
It’s all in our head
The taste is so good,
A satiety it’s said
Like a nice chocolate pud
Or a sponge cake velvety red
A delicious torte
Or Black Forest gateau
And a glass of port
Words and cake I can devour
Hour by hour!
🍰 CAKE!

Self Assembly
When you’re working up to the ultimate moment
And you’re coming to the ******
And then it happens
the earth moves
Shaking
Waking up the dead
Seeing colours in your head
The ultimate excitement
Fireworks in your brain
You’ve done it
You’ve made it
Self assembly is done!

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!

Get there
I whittle
I whine
I’m stressed
It’s the sign

I need
To get control
This stress of mine
Let it roll

What will be
Will be
Need to sort it out
You see

Need to be strong
I’m not wrong
I’ll get there
To be fair!

It’s so sad
It’s so sad,
I met two young people yesterday
Homeless I would say
Settling down for the night
Huddled together in the cold evening air
I gave them blankets , I believe we should share,
I gave them my spare coats from my car because I care,
I gave them money
To get a hot meal and a drink
It’s sad ,
I couldn’t do much more
but I offered to pray
For Adam and Ruby
They were so grateful really and truly
I prayed and I prayed
They find somewhere to live
That they would be safe
That someone would help them
To a better life!
Young and homeless
Sometimes it’s their choice
But I asked them why
They’d been thrown out of their place!
It’s so sad!

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 !

The Stream
The water trickles
down the stream
through the pebbles
its quite a dream
it twinkles and sparkles
when the sun shines through
between the trees
of the forest view
pitter patter splash into the stream
when the rains come down
And when its cold and there is snow
it freezes over don't you know!

The ROAD
In life we chose what road we want to take
Life is how and what you make
There are some pains and then the ache
You can eat and have your cake
And even if you have to fake
Your feeling for another’s sake
Life is your choosing make no mistake!

Field of Pheasants
The field is full of pheasants
All running around
There’s the runners and
The males and females
Abound in the long dry grass

I try to take a picture
But no, alas, they have class,
They’re hiding in the long dry grass
No pictures to be had
somehow it made me sad

It was a rare old sight
End of the day
Coming night
No gun just a camera
They probably thought I’d shoot

It really was a hoot!
Nothing
Not
Nil
No way
No how
Not now
Not never
Not ever
I have nothing
If I don't have you!
Inspired by Whitney Houston song 'I have Nothing (if I don't have you)

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!

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!

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!

Oh so cold
The cold
Now
Has a hold
It’s Like silver is to gold
cold so cold
Ice is nice
Cold is beautiful
Cold is a delight
Cold is awesome
Cold is alright!

Oh Heaven!
Heaven to me
Surely would be
Back to nature and what God hath giver
Like salmon jumping in the river
A steam train passing by, hooting his horn
Passing by a field of corn
A beautiful orchard, apples falling free
Just simply being able to see
Blackberries plentiful to pick
Bushes and flowers all in the thick
Wild life a treat
Hearing the birds simply tweet
Watching Squirrels and hawks
And as the path slightly forks
One path to the fig tree
The other path I can see
Takes us back to the manor and lake
Where we return for a coffee and cake!
Thank you to our wonderful friend for letting us stay at her lovely flat in a beautiful manor house in Yorkshire!

The Moon at five
I see the moon glistening through the trees
What a beautiful sight
And it’s still actually night
It’s five in the morning
Before the day starts dawning
Everyone and everything is sleeping
It’s quiet, it’s dark, and today it’s wet
Well that’s the scene that I have set
I need more sleep
Or I’ll be in a heap
So back to bed to rest my weary head!
What a beautiful moon it was glistening and sparkling through the trees
