" Divine Sleep"

Oh, Divine sleep - like a stone, woulds't that I could turn you on - for time un-known! No - 'tis not death I'm seeking, just a gentle slumbering, with head lay down upon my pillow - surely no one else would mind - if I just lay there, quiet, sleeping - to awaken at my own time? Could I not be like... Sign in to see full entry.

The Devil Spurned

The dawn has arrived and I'm still alive - I must have been dreaming all through the night. Come, listen well I've a story to tell- In my dreams I entered the gates of hell! I knew for sure - as I peeped round a door, that evil devil was beckoning me. With each step I took I trembled and shook - as... Sign in to see full entry.

PEN.(Had to do this one today)

I beg you pen, please write for me - until the ink runs dry. Flow sweet with words to treasure - so I don't have to cry. The more you write the less I ache - release these pressures, please! I'm finding life too hard to bare - it all seems such a tease! If there was only one of me - I would not... Sign in to see full entry.

Greetings To My Mother.

I looked at lots of birthday cards - and read the words I saw. There seemed nothing very special - not in any store! The same old phrases printed, the same old cliches too. Nothing really good enough - for one as good as you! And so I sit - with pen in hand - waiting for the words to flow! However,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Cloud

I saw you pass by today. Not in a conventional way. I was day dreaming really - just searching the skies - when all of a sudden - you caught my eye! It was you I know. Oh yes, you died dear, more than two years ago - but I saw you pass by, today! First the hair line I recognised - then surely,... Sign in to see full entry.

"Blue Balloon"

This poem was the result of part of the 'work' I was doing in therapy-on the adoption of my first born------------------ On tiptoe - I raised it high - in offer to the gentle breeze--which carried it betwixt the sky and the glittering fields of green. Tumbling - lifting and bumping into wild clumps... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sands

I wrote this one-way back in 1992. I chanced to walk along the sands - remembering how we clasped hands. The footsteps then were inter-twined---mine with yours and yours with mine! I couldn't see the future then - never realised I come again - empty handed! So now I walk with heavy step - my heart... Sign in to see full entry.

"My Therapist's Room"

Needless to say I could not have experienced any of this 'rewind' of my past life-without my therapist,my significant other! I got scared when he changed the location of my sessions. The 'cradle' of freedom to safely explore - the pathways I've travelled upon. Space set aside where I can ignore -... Sign in to see full entry.

Eyes Of Innocence

On a 'lighter' note - this one was for one of my Grandaughters. Blue - open wide -innocent as the babe herself - non accusing, non judgemental. A gentle tide - a pool of sea high on a shelf - surrounded by a sandy coloured mantal. Her Mother said - 'she's been a bitch these past few days' - I looked... Sign in to see full entry.
