Chocolate buttons
Chocolate cake
Chocolate dark
Chocolate light
Chocolate pudding
Chocolate chips
Chocolate dips
Chocolate crisps
Chocolate chews
Chocolate of any kind
That will do!

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!

The cold strong wind blows
Freezing my fingers and my toes

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

There’s no need for fighting and killing
And all this blood spilling
With an advanced world
Of technical advances and natures
There’s compromise
There’s consideration
There’s respect
There’s love
There’s peace
Or the world will just decease!

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!

It’s still out there
The sky is like a shroud of white
Some trees are bare
Like the weeping willow

By candle light
The evening draws in
Taking day to night
As the light starts to dim

The sound of silence
Hisses like a snake
Without violence
Night inevitably draws in

The evergreens now look black
The green has gone
The darkness is on its way
End of day has come!

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!

Every one gets low sometimes
No one knows how another feels
Unless they can describe it easily
And handling it well it slowly goes
But for some who suffer clinically
The depression just grows panically
The mood is low, no where to go,
The cloud comes down as they drown
That’s where they need some help
To help them cope
Medication one would hope
Counselling can do
A bit for you
Then there’s CBT, light therapy
And other treatments out there
And talking to someone who will care
Patience is the key
It’s hard to be the other ones
To see them suffer
When this ghost train comes!

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!

Dreaming is an awesome thing
Astro dreams are the thing
To go just anywhere
Anyhow
Anytime
Any place
Then come back
And remember
You’ve dreamed a dream!

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!

Early rise
On a dark dark day
Stars in the skies
But a sky so black and grey

A freezing morn
As breaks the dawn
As a new day is born
Ice on the lawn

Snow on its way
So they say
Tomorrow and today
And there it will lay

It’s so cold out there
Good to stay inside
You can smell the air
So go snug up and hide

Summer time it’s good as gold
Providing it’s not too hot
But winter time it’s just untold
Less miles to the full charge I got

No heater on no window blower
Drive carefully now
Much much slower
But that’s probably a plus I surely know!

Lovely car
Oh yes oh yar
But you really truly can’t go far!

Time to charge
Find a charger
Anxiety larger

Yeh ok I love it!
I rise above it
It’s an AI
And he does try!

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

When people bring you down
Like your energy suppliers
Who bully you for more money
That you do not owe
Send you massive bills
And send the bailiffs in

Like kids constantly kicking *****
And breaking your fences
Throwing litter all over the place
Constant noise and disrespect
The peace they destroy
They just annoy

On top of all the silly jiggly things in life
Builds up like a hydraulic pump
And blows eventually its top
In the meantime it sends you crazy
Wishing it would stop

Some of The kids where we live are vermin
The good ones are great
The bad ones I hate
I just wish it would all go away
Just give me a peaceful day!

Love is the epitome of all that is good
Life is the epitome of what we could
Living is the epitome of a lesson
Learning is an epitome of life!

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!

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

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 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!

Flickering candles
They Dance
Burning the wick
They dance
Some stretching tall
They dance
Some so small
They dance!
Burning bright
They dance
Giving light
They dance
And that’s not all
They dance!

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!
