Best To The Full Poems

After my young wife died tragically, I decided to move away
Memories we made in our house were painful; I couldn’t stay
I’d often remember that phone call from her doctor who’d said
"John, you need to get here quickly" but I knew she was dead.

I moved to...

A dedication to Eileen Ghali
for her prolific production of
inspiring work

Willow Tree = Keyboard
And that’s your only clue

Hurricane Eileen - The Storm

As darkness drew nearer
Light falling to drearer
I knew, the night was a foul
The windows were slashed
By her white lightening blast
Down the chimney old windy did...

it seems in just the twinkling of an eye
life passes by
and one's left at the brink
with time to think
before the fall 
into the great abyss
where did time go?

For some, life is short
for others, long
But the years don't count
Nor do the hours
It's the moments which capture...

You crept into our lives
silently stalking
like a cat burglar in the dead of night
invading every aspect of our world

Robotic treatment by the Da Vinci Machine
operated by a skilled surgeon
removed this blight from our lives ...
yet lurking in the back of our minds
your memory remains

Cancer, you...

Recent experiences in my life have impacted on me greatly
Tell friends and family that you love them - it’s too late when they are gone
Grab every opportunity in life - you may never get a second chance
No one is perfect,  we should learn from...

Make sure you...
Live your life to the full
To love each day and the night time to
Like you would maybe love a jewel

Our life on this earth does not last
It burns up so very fast
From that very first breath we took 
Until we take our very...

Open the windows.
Open the doors.
Let the glorious sunshine in.
Remove the dust.
From the floors.

Listen, the birds are singing.
A happy, happy tune.
In April, May and June.
Live life to the full.
It's never dull.

Feel the vibrations.
And the thrill.
Over whelming you.
Stirring your soul.
Lifting you up.
To where you belong.
Begin the day...

Inspired by the painting "Highland Lassie" (1871) by Thomas Faed.

(Verse One; In introduction to Cailin)
Walkin' on the highways, searchin' down the byways,
Tromps a lonely figure on the Highland roads;
Peerin' from the Highdown, breezin' through the lake town,
Askin' of a question erry where he goes:
(Chorus; Cailin,...

There was a little caterpillar on a limb
she felt disgusting, ugly and all alone 
A moth came by and said”why so grim?”
She replied and said” I am so ugly.”

He said” no you are not you're beautiful .”
“Really? “ I’ve never heard that before.”
“It is true...

"Eye of Horus and the Seat of Me"



When I looked 
into 
your eyes
Blue Sky 
reflected in 
the Heart of mine

I sat true 
in the 
Seat of Me
Amygdala 
holding the gears 
in my hand

your hands 
over mine, casting 
abstract reasoning
next to the full throttle of me
shifting...

Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Black bird has spoken,
Like the first word

Compare this to life,
My dearest friends,
We must live life to the full,
To the bitter end.

I sit here amazed,
At what life will bring,
Seemingly un phased,
Still unable to sing

Destined for greatness,
Me? I think not,
The great unanswered...

God has shown in His holy word
there is only one sure way to life
a life that's eternal to the full
for all other ways just bring strife

Jesus has said when here on earth
to find me enter by the narrow gate
never choose any roads of twists and...

Intense heat ripples across 
the vast sand dunes of the Serengeti 
where it intersects with the
silent shores of a rare desert lake 
a calm, cool oasis for both 
man and beast. 

Taj Mahal of the desert 
it is a liquid cradle of life
coveted by a...

Interrupting at every chance
Why is it nobody listens
Why is it nobody cares

Just once she’d like to express
Her inner self to the full extent

Without needing to elbow
For her place on the podium
For her place in the sun

Why is it nobody cares
Why is it nobody listens
