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!

Bones
Bones can break
Bones can mend
Bones don't bend!

Bones in our body
Keep us in place
without our bones
our bodies would flop
straight to the ground we're likely to drop!

You try your best to explain
How you feel within
I feel your pain
I understand how you’ve been
But I can’t imagine yet again
What you mean
By living in the past reliving the pain
I wish you’d put it behind, left unseen
And going forward will reign
Like a queen
Before you go insane
It’s obscene
What you’re doing to your brain!

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!

Why does the sky have to cry
With tears falling
To the ground
As the sky does weep
In floods of tears
So it appears
As the floods get deep
then the clouds go to sleep
The floods then subside
And out comes the sun smiling
With laughter and fun
Drying up the tears
That were shed from the clouds
That they’d welled up for years
And they all put on a happy face
With sun shining
It’s a beautiful place.

Deep and creamy
Firm and dreamy
music for the soul and heart

warm and deep
sending you to a gentle sleep
dreaming of black velvet

a swan on a lake
Like a rich chocolate cake
relaxing bound and resting soundly.

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

That’s life
C’est la vie
And for me
Et pour moi
Life is life
Vie est vie
Life can be good
C’est bonne
Life can be great
C’est grande
j’aime vie!
I love life!
That’s me!

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!

Cold tea
Again
Don’t like cold tea
Cold tea is not for me
It’s a nurse thing
Cold tea
Not me
We always have cold tea
As a nurse!

Take my hand
Come with me
To a place or land
Where we want to be!

Massage my back
Rub my feet
Oh what the heck
Don't squeeze my neck
But use the ice
That's very nice
Relieve the stress
But not the dress
I'm about to go to sleep
So relaxed, I'm in a lovely little heap!

It’s in my neck
Oh what the heck
It’s a pain
A lump grown bigger
Then go and figure
Can’t see it
Can’t free it
Covid puts a stop
To any kind of op!

Credence
To believe is a beautiful thing
To have faith in God our king
Helps you through all you do
And for the many or just the few,
Who have credence too,
Helps them cope and gives them hope,
Helps them down the path of life,
Holds back the toll and strife,
Gives you something to believe in,
Helps you live within your skin,
And evade any mortal sin,
Then in life you will win!
Don’t throw your life into the bin,
Credence choice and now begin!

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!

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!

Dark clouds above my head,
I think I'll stay in bed,
I'll wait until it lifts
I'll revel in my rifts
down beneath the quilt
feeling so much guilt
why should I feel like this
someone, I need a kiss
and then those dark clouds lift
a kiss would be a gift
we all get down sometime in our lives
we're only human, men, women, children, husbands and wives
doesn't matter who we are
Depression hits us like a car!
Time to pick up the pieces now and
Get this sad, ugly thing in hand!

Dolphins
are beautiful creatures
Their skin
feels smooth and firm
They’re strong
They’re clever
They’re fun
They play
They talk
To each other
Dolphins
are beautiful creatures!

She lay there
On the bed
She looked like a corpse
Battered and bruised
Yet again

He sat down beside her
And into her face
He said she was his
And this is the case

He strangled her softly
As she lay there
Unconscious
He planned to **** her
If she didn’t submit

He wasn’t going to share her
In this world or the next
But did he really care?
He’s a ****** I swear!

Don't let the sun shine down on you,
Don't let the rain wet you through,
Don't let the world bring you down,
Don't let trivia ruin your life,
Don't let the little things get to you!

Don’t take those worries to bed
Try understand what I’ve just said
Just don’t takes those worries to your bed
Write them down and put them away
Until the morning of very next day
You need your sleep without the worry
So rest and sleep now try to hurry
Sleep is important to us all
If you don’t sleep you sure will fall
What can you do about your worries
When you are asleep you’ll have no quarries !

Close your eyes
And go to sleep
Feel your spirit rise
Take yourself deep
into the skies
Take a leap
Where your body flies
Don’t you peep

Now you’re dreaming
Fast asleep and very calm
So it’s seeming
Floating the clouds with outstretched arms
A sheer delight You’re beaming
Hearing angels sing their psalms
Now the sun is streaming
Your body warms!

And down you come
To a gentle sleep
Out of Rem where
You were only 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!

I dream of a bright blue azure sea
on a hot sunny day
Feeling the warmth of the sun
and the touch of the waves
the salty taste of the sea
covering my body so gently
As I bask in the water
Floating peacefully!

Life is not immortal
Life ends and we leave through the portal
But we all want to hold on
We miss all those who have gone
And departed from this world

It’s a frightening concept
But we have to accept
We don’t know what’s out there
Belief helps to bear
Our fate and our fear !

An early morning walk with Moose
Its fresh,  its so nice
Calm and cool and quiet
An ultimate delight
Except for the birds in the trees
The butterflies and the bees
The birds tweeting excitedly
And then a gaggle of geese fly over me
What a joy to see
The pigeons are hooting
In the distance I hear pop shooting
Nobody about, not a living soul,
Just Moose and me
Its just sheer glee!

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!

It’s just emotion

A feeling
In your mind
You’re dealing
with, of a kind
a part of healing
one might find

its just emotion

mood is an emotion
a sort of sensation
strong feeling or commotion
could be elation
sentiment or devotion
within ones own station

its just emotion

One day
just any day
Far into the future I pray
I’ll flyaway
far away
And leave my love here yesterday

ill be an angel in the sky
I’m meaning  the time when I die
But Please don’t cry
Just watch me fly
Into the sky
High above high

To the stars
The moon or mars
Floating on the clouds
Wearing shrouds

But I’ll miss you
And I’ll wait for you
I’ll be Sitting on a star
Far above far!

Just find me
I’ll be there
Waiting  to share
Eternity with you

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!

Everything on earth is moving
Including you and me
It’s time that keeps molecules together
As far as I can see
Solid ground beneath our feet is all an illusion to you and me
That’s how it has to be
But when it all crumbles or erupts
Like a volcano or an earth quake
The particles you can see
Diffuse and even shatter
And we get hidden in the walls
There’s may be a parallel universe
Moving in a different time and space!
Sadly we have to face!
So much for the human race!

It’s the Excitement of nature
When a salmon jumps in the river
When a squirrel climbs a tree
When a gaggle of geese
Fly over me!

And when the stars at night twinkle and shine
As the bats fly by after nine
The night is dark but all is fine
Nature is just so divine!

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!

Feelings and thoughts
Thoughts and feelings
Good thoughts and bad
Best that you had
Be mindful, be thoughtful be true to yourself
Consider others but look after your health
Negativity *****
Positivity hooks
Don’t make assumptions or assume something bad
Because if you do you will end up sad
Stay positive and happy
Or just remain sappy
And love yourself
As you would anyone else!
Were all the same
No ones to blame!

The poetry in me is flowing
About things I’m knowing
The emotions
The stresses
And Peoples life’s messes!

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.

I can dream for my own sake
Of strawberries and cream
Of a rich fruit cake
of all the things I could bake
But think of the figure
Because it’s getting bigger
The chocolate pud
Is not so good
As I am prone
To put on a stone!

Friendship is a precious gift,
someone close that can uplift
your mood, when you feel alone
or down, someone to share the love and care
and be there when you need a friend!

A mother is so special
she gave us our life
mum is the ultimate
the ultimate of life!

You inspire me
With your emotive words of wisdom
You are the key
To my motivation
You help me see
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!

Look to the future
And what do I see
I see retirement
Looking at me
Sad to relate
Times passing by
Wishing it gone
I say with a sigh!

Then what will I do!
I’ll come back to life
My gardening for true
Walking the dog without any strife
Cooking and cleaning
Writing and dreaming
And of course
More sleep!

I danced to the music
In the moonlit sky
the fireflies danced with me
as the night drew nigh
the air was fresh and cool
the firepit was burning logs for fuel
the bats were flying across the garden
the owls screeching I have to pardon
the feeling was of freedom
in the beautiful garden of Eden!

Shadows on the wall
Orbs floating freely
Ghosts not ghouls
Touched me just nearly

Who are they?
What do they want?

Feeling their presence
I know that they’re there
If only I could help them
I do really care

Is it my family?
Is it a friend?

If only I could hear them
And they hear me
We could talk together
And help them be free!
