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!

Where?
I love to sit out at night and watch the stars and the satellite
and wonder if there is another world out there,
A world like ours in a rich, rich green
where trees are are found and fill the ground
where birds are plentiful and sing so sweet
where flowers grow all year through
where there's equal amount of rain and shine
where the rain is warm and the world is free
where everyone and everything is happy
where there is peace and tranquillity
where there is love and care
where everyone looks after each other and everything
where everyone is able to sing
where there is kindness and love
and up above and all around
A land filled with that love is very very grand!

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!

Beautiful world
The world could be a beautiful place
We’ve just got to look at what nature brings
The beautiful flowers trees and things
The meadows full of yellow flowers
I could sit and rest for hours
Back to nature we should go
And enjoy the beauty that we know!

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!

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!

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 !

Art
Art
Art
Comes from the heart
That’s the beauty of art it
Comes in forms and features
From anything even creatures
Comes is writing
Helps with the lighting
Comes in pictures
Some famous some are riches
Comes in pics
Quite a mix
Comes in painting
Gets a rating
Comes in form
There’s no norm
Comes in places
Comes in faces
Comes in time
Comes in a glass of wine
Art
Is from the heart!

Romance can be
Romance can be
For all, you and me
Watching the sunset
Walking in the rain and getting wet
Floating together on the river boat
Him giving her his coat
watching the stars at night
Walking on a beach as lovers might
Whispering sweet nothings to each other
Kisses and cuddles under a cover
Going to sleep next to your lover!
I love the peace and quiet
So relaxing,
a delight
I close my eyes
I hear no cries
Just quiet
Peace perfect peace
Don’t let it cease
Just slowly increase
This calm and quiet moment

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!
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.
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!

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

Best Medicine to take
Smiling and laughter
Is the best medicine to take
forget all the pills
for the pain and the ache
laugh out loud
And smile as you wake!

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 !

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!

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!

I am a morning person!
I am a morning person
But there’s a morning person and a morning person
I’m the one who comes later
Five o’clock in the morning is a bit stiff!
Do you get my jiff?
Well I am at that time
Stiff as a board
It takes an hour to loosen up
With a strong hot coffee cup
And a cake,
A cake will help me wake,
A muffin to you
But that will do!
So once I have woken
Raring to go
Take the dog out for her walk
She loves it you know!
And when We get back
My whip I do crack!
Not really!
Dog now asleep!
The little creep!
I clean the kitchen
Do the bins
Put the washing in
For all my sins
Clean the floor
Wash the door
Fill up the dish washer,
And what’s more?
Oh what would I do without you!!!!!
Well that’s my morning !
As I said I’m a morning person
So now I’m back to bed!!!!!!
The rest of the day
Has gone astray!
Husband in bed!

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!

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!

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!

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!

The Dark
I so dislike the dark
Because I can’t see
If I can’t see
Im lost

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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?

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!

Pen and paper
A beautiful feather ink pen
Some gorgeous thick cream paper
You can’t beat them
Write a letter
Of how you feel
With beautiful hand writing
Something real
Beautifully scripted
With thought and feeling
Something to keep
Something to hold
In your hands and feel the love
And read with your eyes and see
How beautiful it is to me!

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

Peace please
Let us have peace
Just never let it cease
Let us have love
It comes from God above
Let us have support
For each other we ought
Let us have joy
Stop those who just destroy

He is
He’s a pagan
He’s a wizard
He’s my star
He makes me feel good
He’s my rock
He’s my world
He’s my everything
We are both on our second marriage, I only wish I’d met him sooner! This year is our 20th wedding anniversary! He’s 72 and has end stage heart failure and respiratory failure but he’s been my rock and bodyguard and makes me feel so good about myself! I’m so lucky to have him!

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!

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!

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
87 · Aug 2020
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!

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 !
87 · Jul 2020
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!
87 · Jun 2020
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

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!
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!

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!!!

Autumn leaves
The leaves are beautiful at this time of year
Sumptuous
Golden

As they drop upon the ground
Making a carpet of leaves
Golden

As the wind picks the leaves up
There’s a shower of
Golden

Yellow

Leaves!

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!
86 · Nov 2020
My Blanket
It’s warm and cosy
Soft and smooth
Colours are pretty
Like a golden yellow
Its my blanket!
