My safe place
I walk down the winding stairs of marble stone
holding onto the bannister as I go down
wearing a beautiful floaty dress
and as I get to the ground
its peaceful quiet without a sound
there in front of me  is a big old wooden door
I open the door and walk in to a beautiful room
its light is dimmed with a purple hue
there is a seat of purple velvet
where I sit and rest
And as I stroke the soft smoothen velvet
it makes me feel so calm and cool
then after a while I walk across the room to the French doors
I open up the pretty doors
I walk through to a beautiful garden
with sunshine and a gentle breeze
perfect and sure to please
the flowers are all amazing
the smell is a delight
delicious wisteria
wonderful carnations
the roses are incredible
the scent is so wonderful
and there right there
amongst the beauty is my bench
I sit for a while
it makes me really smile
I rest and I chill
And relax at my own will
Its a place in my heart
Its beautiful art
and an escape  just for me
and a safe place to be!
just for me

To my special friend
You’re in my thoughts and prayers
I love you so very much my friend
We’ve known each other for many years
I know it’s near the end
I’m holding back my tears
Remembering our memories I send
Don’t hold on to the fears
And although I can not mend
I’ll be there to wipe your tears!
My very special friend has stage 4 cancer so she’s terminally ill!
I feel I want to write Just now

It’s sunny now after a dull start,
Brightness fills my heart,
The sun uplifts my mood,
I’m sitting here looking at the garden,
Lush green, birds singing, it isn’t just a dream,
The forecast is thunder,
There’s thunder in my soul,
The buttercups are bright yellow,
The Christmas tree is dying,
This has left me sighing,
I need to plant it somewhere else instead,
The holly bushes have gone rife,
But that is of course no strife,
And the bamboo is quite awesome it’s spread and well fed it’s a treat to see,
We have a lot of green
In our garden in-between the
meadow type of grass,
And Within it own best class!
The sun lifts up my mood! Brightens up my mind! Makes me want to smile!

The sky at night
And in the darkness all alone, I sit outside on the garden seat looking up at the stars,
Wondering what’s out there,
We know about the milkyway and mars,
And I can name but a few twinkly stars
Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter of course mars
There’s satellites, of that we know
And the odd aircraft  flying low
But what about the UFO
Or things out there that we will never know ?

More Sleep
My eyes sting
I need some sleep
I’ll close my eyes
And off to the deep
Dark world of dreams
Nothing is what it seems
But it’s Where I am free
to explore
I snore
I sleep
So deep
I want more
More sleep!

Moose
Moose you make me smile!
What did we do within you?
A pretty little blonde with lots of style
We couldn’t do without you
Best thing we have ever done
Is getting you!
Moose we sure love you!
We got Moose 3 years ago! She’s a gorgeous Lhasa poo! Best thing we ever did!

Life’s up and downs
They say stress is under our control
But life’s ups and downs
Spin you round and round
Making you dizzy
Making it harder to play
So press the button
Tell it to stop
Sit right down
Before you drop
Think just for a minute
Of calmness and peace
Take five
Will help you survive
The stress
That makes the mess
Of your life
Stress now Be gone
Now that you’re free just carry on!

Share a Smile
A smile
Opens up the world
Not just a mile
It brightens up every morsel in the world
Every pile
Of misery
For a while
So share
A smile!

Take A Seed
Take a seed
A tiny little thing indeed
And Plant it in a ***
The best that you have got
And see what will grow
Water it well
With a little bit of kindness, sunshine and rain,
it should bloom and grow again
In to a plant, a flower or whatever you devour!
Take the seed
You will succeed!
Make a spell
But only for the good
If you tell
It’ll be a dud
A wishing well
Would be very good
Drop the bay leaf in
And wish away
Light a candle every day
Get a cauldron
Pop in the rice
Drip the bay leaf oil in
Smells rather nice
make a good spell
For the best
Then you can make your one bequest!
This is just an amazing quest!
I just love it!

We Pray
The words are a wonderful
When we positively pray
Say it Anytime
Night time or day
Say it in A poem, or  a line
We’ve just got to pray
Whatever we want or desire
You’ve just got to say
Prayers aren’t always answered
But maybe in another way
So don’t give up hope
There’s always another day!

And needs to just borrow
A hug from the heart
Well that’s just a start!

Give hugs And support from the heart!

Hating
Cheating
Hey Respect your life!

There’s no need to cause
Pain
Disdain
Sorrow

To make us bleed
Do a bad deed

Money
Money
It’s not that funny
It buys bread and honey
And when it’s sunny
It’s free
You soak it up
You see
Money though
As you probably know
Slips through our fingers
The debt still lingers!

Why?
Why do people steal?
They’re just not right!
They’re just not real!
They cause pain, how would they feel ?
When they just have to ask !

But hackers!
Computer attackers!
They’re just cruel!

Why do people ****?
Why do people fight?
Why do people commit crime?
It just is not right!

What a world we live in ?
Full of anger and sin!
Nothing is perfect!
And nor it ever will!

I only hope there’s a heaven
And hope that there’s a hell
Who knows
You can never tell!
I’m sick of people hacking me! I just keep thinking .... karma will get them!
I’m just to trusting but not any more!!!!!

I love you Moose
I love you Moose
From your hair on your head
To the tip of your tail
Curled up next to me in my bed
Outside it’s blowing a gale

You stick to me like glue
I know you love me too
With the things that you do
And I love you too!

I stoke your head
And you lick my hand

You lick me
You kick me
You push me out of bed
But I know that you love me
Especially when you’re fed
You’d **** the cat
If he comes near
Jealousy is that
My only fear!
I know you love me too
That I can see
With the things that you do
Or can it just be
As you cuddle up to me
The warmth from me
And the love for you
Which says that I love you
And you love me too!

Depression
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!
I'm so aware of depression as I've suffered a couple of times in my life but someone  close to me, bless them, suffers from manic depression? We can never tell how someone else feels unless they tell us, but we know how we feel and our own experiences!
47 · Nov 2024
Testing
Life’s just a test
We don’t all get it right
But is it a quest?
And do we have to fight ?

I believe we are tested
We do our bestest
We chose our path
No don’t fight,  just compromise !
Nothing in life is black and white
Even day going to night
what lies beyond this world were in?
Are there ghosts or is it the gin?
Where do all our loved ones go?
Would we really like to know!
Are there aliens or are they akin?
and what form are they in?
Is there really a parallel universe
Lots of questions in my verse
Is there reincarnation
Returning back to our nation!
Nothing is black and white
I guess we'll never know, alright

Love is....
Love is
toleration
Give and take
Patience
Share the cake
embrace
Kiss and cuddle
Sharing
Half each
caring
Look out for each other!
Christmas is a happy happy time
Time to enjoy A tipple or two
mulled wine Will do
Turkey as a tradition Or a goose or a duck
Depends on  who’ll cook
Presents by the Christmas tree
For everyone you and me
Singing Christmas songs
Sat by the fire with roasted chestnuts in tongs
Thinking of all the good things gone by!

The night Run
I’m off and away
Like the wind
I feel a ray of sunshine
Fueling my plight

Flying along like a kite
The air is fresh
The mood is right
Where everything is quiet

A beautiful night
Just the owls out hunting
Nature awakes there’s
A moonlight sky

Running briskly
I fly along
In my head there’s a song
An ear worm

Moving quickly on
Now I am gone
In to the night
As I leisurely run!
The apple tree by the wall
Has worked so hard to produce some fruit
Her number of apples only small
Beautiful and rosey
One and all!

Love is what we need
Love one another
As you’d love yourself
Love is all we need
Not a world of wealth
Love is the food of life
Love keeps us going not just yourself
But everyone let it go rife
The world should stand together
And give love to one and all
Before this world disintegrates
And off the world we’ll fall!
47 · Oct 2020
Positivity
I had a dream
It was so  surreal
I blew away
All my negative thoughts
Like blowing petals off the stalks
And In the forest as the pathway falks
I take the route
Of positive thoughts
I follow it for a while
And when I arrive
I start to smile
All the negativity has gone away
So now I can enjoy
A lovely day! ♥️

Trees
Trees are so beautiful
I could hug a tree
some are very old
Older than me
And some have been there many years
So if they could talk or if they could see
They'd know a lot
From history!

Pathos in January
Pathos in January

The rain comes down!
In Pathos town,
It’s very wet,
We might just drown,

It’s cold it’s wet
But the drink is warming
There no insect
But the cats are swarming 

The floors getting wet
The towels are down
Mopping up the rain
So staying put, not going to town!

In the hedge row
In the hedge row
Lovely juicy blackberries grow
The nettles are unforgiving
But push them aside
And find where the blackberries hide!

A nice apple and blackberry crumble
Is worth crossing a bumble bee
But go careful
Pick them careful, where he can’t see!

My soul mate
You are my soul mate and I’m your wife
My one and only in my life
We give and take
Through toil and ache
You make me feel so very good
But sometimes your sadness
Makes me feel real bad
I try to be patient when I can
I keep telling you you’re a good man
But with your demons haunting you
I’ve tried but there’s nothing I can do
I only wish you’d open up to me
Before I lose you, can’t you see
But I’ll never give you up you’re in my heart !
Until the time Death do us part !
My husband is a manic depressive agoraphobic and has serious medical problems bless him! It’s hard sometimes but I do love him!

That’s me
Up at 4 am walking the dog,
Just walking because I don’t jog,
Feed the cats when I get in
Back home to bed
with a cuppa and toasted bread
Back to sleep
Usually deep
Up again about 11
That sleep was really heaven
House work to do
Washing cleaning too
Make some lunch or call it brunch
Tidy up
Get out a dish and cup
My other half arises
There’s no surprises
Chair all ready, cup of tea
A dish of porridge
But that not for me
I’ll have salmon and scrambled egg
We discuss the weather
Then he does the Alexa quiz just as ever
Usually gets it right
He’s clever you know alright!
But on the days I work
Up at 4 just like before
Get ready for work
That’s the score
Leave at half past four
Off I go
Back the next night
Tired and ready to sleep
No problem it’s just once a week!
That’s me!

The rain has gone
The rain has gone,
The sun is breaking through,

Its a beautiful evening,
With a bright shiny sky,

The birds are out singing,
And the flowers have bloomed,

It maybe the evening,
but out comes the beauty the sunshine will bring,

The bees are back buzzing,
Dragon flies in flight,

What a wonderful end of a day,
It should be a good night!

Oh natural
Hug a tree
Yes that is me
Talk to the plants
Tell them your rants
Don’t **** the ants
No don’t want them in my pants
Skinny dip, Is still quite hip
Walk in the garden naked under the light of the moon
Love to try it and quite soon!
Yes yes I do talk to the plants , actually they’re like triffids now! Massive! That’s probably cos I talk too much he he!!!!!
Do they really hate this world and planet so much
That they need to destroy and destruct
Hurt and ****
Do they think they own the world
Because they never will
So just stop the ****
It’s not Gods will
God is powerful
God is strong
They need to see they are wrong
It will all be taken away from them
What’s the point
Surely all they are doing is destructing the world , which is a planet and our world
The world can be and is a beautiful place
With beautiful people
All they want is just to deface
What’s it all for
They’ll never live forever
There will never be any good from fighting and killing destroying and destruction
But if they can come to a compromise and stop, and save this world and planet
And see what a beautiful place it can be!
Let there be peace in this beautiful world!
Live together in peace and harmony!
Love one another
Maybe then they won’t see hell on earth
They’re not immortal or immune
It’ll affect them too and quite soon!
I’m sick of hearing about wars and fighting
It doesn’t get them anywhere
Do they ever learn?

That Christmas Period
My heartfelt love and thoughts for all those alone
And sadly those who have no home
Christmas is a time when we should share
Love each other and tenderly care
For all those who are misfortuneate
In trouble and strife

I offer my prayers
I will donate
And if I knew you
I’d do what I can

That all aside
I wish you all my love
Warmth and to be fed
May God be with you

And may help come your way
Not just at Christmas
But every day!

I love
I love
I love food!
It makes me feel so good!
I love to go for a walk and a wander!
It makes me want to ponder!
I love to write!
It helps me sleep at night!
I love you!
And all the things you do!
I love life!
And I work right through the strife!
I love my dog!
She makes me want to jog!
I love to dream when I sleep!
Especially when I’m very deep!
I love to love!
It’s very, very nice.

The journey
It was amazing the news of good things to come
Our journey there was exciting but pleasantly anxious at the same time
Not knowing what to expect
Unbelievable and unbeknown for our future
It seemed to take ages to get there
But when we arrived
It was amazing
For what we could see
There just in front of me
Was the best thing that has ever happened to us
We opened the door
The lights came on
And our wonderful life had just begun!

It was so quiet
Smelling of roses
Warm and welcoming
I had come home
To the land where I should live!

In jest
My husband makes fun when I say no one wins the lottery they’re all actors
And That’s what I believe
Until I see it  I just won’t believe it!

My kids say I’m a hoarder
My shoulders are broader
I’ll clear up one day

My friends say I try to help everyone and neglect myself and my health
Maybe I should listen to
Them

So I might tidy up
Have a rest
And hopefully win the lottery
But Is it all in jest ??????

This Morning
This morning
The sky was beautiful and clear and blue
I could see  a croissant moon
The sun was gently shining through
The air was clear and fresh
The birds were singing in the trees
The leaves of gold and amber
Were dropping to the ground
It was peaceful and quiet
I stood there without a single sound!

Domestic Abuse
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!
Inspired by a recent friends horrific abuse!

One life one try!
Life is so precious
We only have one try
At happiness and health
Before we are doomed to die
Five a day they say
Exercise and stretch up high
And do it everyday
Love each other
Any kinda way
Be kind to yourself
And think about
What’s best for your health
And To yourself be devout!
Stay safe and well!

Sleepy
My eyes are sore
I need to sleep
And dream a dream
Oh so deep
I close my eyes
It’s so quiet
As I drift
Into slumber
And sleep!

What a treat
What a Treat
Lockdown still and with all my will I just wanna sleep! With a broken leg and ankle I can’t do much anyway so hey what’s it today! Three thirty in the afternoon and I’ve been brought a treat! Spicy *** and coke hey it’s nice and sweet! It helps the painkillers work! I know I’ve been a Burke! And even at home I still have to work. Some would say that’s good! I’d give it all up if I could! I love writing poems, it truly is such fun! Because I can’t go out for a run! Don’t think I would anyway! Im a A couch potato I would say! The most I used to do is walk the dog it’s true! No she walked me! Well I’m off to sleep again. It sure will make me heal. And stop me going insane.
Twas 8 weeks ago! Planning first day out tomorrow!

Spooky
I heard a growl beside me
Shadows by my side I see
The dog started barking
Has something stared sparking

I felt a draft of air on my arm
I know they’ve done no harm
It felt theres something near
A ghost or ghoul I fear

I checked around
But there wasn’t any sound
Everything was quiet and calm
Whatever, it is, it’s done no harm!

Ghosts never scare me
but goosebumps I could see
There was something quite strange
Around me, or in my space or range!

Ghosts are welcome here
I do not  have a fear
We’re happy to just share
I haven't got a care!

Our simple pleasures
It’s the simple pleasures in life that keep us going, that I am knowing!
The Early morning  fresh perfume smell of flowers in the early hours,
That peaceful, calmness and quietness on a Sunday morning, when the day is dawning,
Whilst walking the dog, I’m in a fog,
Time to ponder, to think, through that black ink,
And this all makes me feel, the real deal,
It’s the beautiful things that keep us going and simple pleasures, the seeds are sowing,
The plants are growing,
Makes me appreciate my life, despite any toil despite any strife!
Love the smell of flowers from the morning due! It’s those early morning walks with the dog that enlighten me! Finding it a little hard now back at work, feeling my age! Very busy at work!

It’s hot hot hot!
Up at sunrise
Nice and cool
The air is fresh
suns like a jewel
Bright and beautiful
Rising high
Up there in a morning sky
And as the day begins
The heat increases
As the sun shines bright
it’s hot today
And was through the night
Bring out the ice
And The fans that’s nice
Maybe a cold shower
It may help for an hour
Keeping cool
When it’s hot hot hot!
