Paradise

You make your own paradise 
Or so they all do say
You decide your chosen path
You control your night and day

It's  not all about  sun sea, and sand
Or a overflowing  bank account
With several  hundred grand
Paradise is not some island far away 
Where worries go and fade away

Paradise is what you yourself make it
Situations, life, and how you take it
Your own destiny 
Your own time to spend
Life is on your side
Let life be your friend 

Mother's Day Without You

Mother's day without you
Is so very hard
Purchasing some flowers and a lovely card
Placing them on your grave 
Wishing you were still here
Always in our in hearts and minds
I know your always near

Miss you very much mum
Happy mother's day xxxxx

Unadulterated Raves

No noisey  unadulterated Raves
Big black crows 
Resting on tranquil graves
Only sombre sounds  full the air
Majestic magpies glide with  care

A pheasant  struts in between the graves
King of the birds
The crows and magpies 
All his unwilling  slaves

Calmness prevails
In a sea of morbid solitude 
Souls laid to rest
Away from the loudness of the world 
At peace.At one

The Dragonfly

The Dragonfly gracefully glides
Like a beautiful ballerina 
Commanding the stage 
Her delicate wings
The finest of things

The Dragonfly, green and blue
The relaxing noise too
Elegantly landing on the lily pad 
The landscape so serene 

The canal barges are calm and still
A small waterfall trickles white foam
Sparkling,  captivating 
Tranquility likes to frill 

A small dog barks with  excitement 
As a ball is thrown aimlessly into the air
The Dragonfly  glides to a safer location 
Not yet knowing  where?

Rushing Around

Rushing around, rushing around 
Trying to keep  my feet on the ground 
Wait a minute...
What's that sound?
The sound of time ticking  away
Jack was dull
Never had time to play

Rushing around,  rushing around
Stop and take in the view 
Time waits for no man
What's a girl to do?

Rushing around,rushing around 
Smell  the flowers, swim in the sea
Make time
To be who you want to be

Life is too short  for anything else
Enjoy it whilst you can
Live a little, smile and breathe 
Make it your biggest plan.....









Missing You

This unbelievable empty feeling 
In complete limbo, lost
Looking through the wrong end of the periscope 
Surreal, stuck in some screwed up
Horror film
With only one predictable ending

Not in Kansas anymore 
No rabbit hole, no wonderland
Just a place they call limbo 

Never ending circles
Of mixed up emotions 
Spiralling out of place
Waking up with a start
In the middle of the night
Having just seen  your face
Searching for answers 
Hard to find
In a world they call limbo
Left behind.....

The Weeping Willow

The weeping willow stands alone 
Vibrant green and lush
The weeping willow is silent 
Hush, hush, hush

The weeping  willow weeps no more
The weeping willow is keeping  score
Like a new brides long train
A masked veil
Hanging down, a beauty within

Setting sail on a journey  unknown 

The weeping willow crouching, never slouching
No tears on his pillow
Only soft fluffy clouds 
That billow

A parachute  has gone askew 
Intertwined  in the tangled branches 
Parachute  all limp and torn
The occupant all lost and forlorn 
With nobody there to mourn

The weeping  willow  gently  sighs
As the ominous clouds
Command the bright blue skies

Mum

Mum, our hearts are all broken 
Now that you have left us all behind
You were the best mum in the world
So loving, thoughtful, and kind

It doesn't seem real
It doesn't seem  true
It's  going to be so hard for us all
Carrying on without you

The best wife, mum, grandma 
We could of ever asked for
Our only consolation 
Is your not struggling  anymore

Mum, we all love and miss you so very much
You are at peace  now mum
Always in our hearts and thoughts forever

Bright Blue Skies

Bright blue Skies
White fluffy clouds
Proud seagull perched on chimney pot

Awaiting his mate, his partner in crime

The tabby cat silently observes
From the safety of the window sill
The seagull  swoops down 
Calling to his mate
"Hurry up Hurry  up, don't  be late"
The tabby cat shuffles
Adjusts his stance
Ready for action, ready to prance
The white fluffy clouds 
Fade to grey
The pompous seagull flies away
Off to find his partner in  crime
The chimney pot vacant once more

The cat spots a small dog
Walking by....
Maybe this time.....
