this peace was written by my good friend guy
Not Lost Just not Found On padded feet a love may walk With melodious voice a person talks
With kisses sweet a heart is stolen With moon so full a promise is grow-in Tomorrow comes
and your mouth taste sour Discordant notes come from a churches tower The clatter of heals
rains on concrete hard The day of bonding has been washed from the card Yet tomorrow will
come with new ones to see The joy of life can be there you will see A smile from a child
or a kiss from someone new The sound of a song or the thrill of the zoo Life is a wonder
for tomorrow starts again Yesterday is history the future is your friend For what you may
seek can come when you are blind Don't search to hard it will come in its own time.
the peace was given to me so i thank you my friend for you words Duncan chappell
Her smile looked like a lily’s daylong grace
That hinted of her heart ever at home,
Her face early spring’s pleasant warmth did trace,
Her smile joining the heart, me to welcome
And stayed put all the time I was with her--
A welcome guest fit to get warm sunshine
That melted my reserve to modest bare,
Not just polite manners, she looked genuine--
After a spell of rains as is sunrise,
And so all things the same as ere remained,
The same old smile, the same inviting eyes,
Notso gave me hints of impending rain,
Of her restrain, swift change as weathers do,
Was she a mere kind heart? I’ve not a clue.

Note: When plain good manners perhaps were mistaken for love, or something that she was unable to share with me, this sonnet laments.

A Prayer to Nature for saving the Plants, Trees, Birds and Animals in Northern California.
O’ God of Nature
A humble request to you
Kindly cool down
The flames of your anger
Do not burn
These innocent trees, flora and fauna.
You are punishing these innocent
Trees – plants and wildlife
Birds and innumerable insects-
For mistakes committed by some humans.01
.
They were always dear to you and
They are your own
Is it good to punish the children of Nature
For human mistakes
These innocent, silent plants and trees
What will remain there?
To give praise to you
If you don't stop your flames
Please quench the devastating fire. 02
.
Hey! Infinite showers of rains
Cool please cool down these flame of fire
And save these trees, plants, birds and all creatures
Look around you
Spread out the shadow of your affection on
These flaming fires.03

Naught seems so beautiful O as to see
Winter-wilted greens tender shoots to bear,
Thrushes in tune, triumph of trickery,
That see their eggs getting free foster care
Which, lets her sing through all summer till rains,
Flowers when bloom at their creative best,
The mood all around knows when no restrains,
To see the season reach climaxing crest.
But why, why all this juice and so much joy?
Harsh summer waiting is on ready wings,
Awaiting its reign this mood to destroy,
Yet, seasons’ beauty ends not just with springs,
E’en joys of rich monsoon turn unto cloy
That as ere ‘pon earth Eden’s delight brings.

Who are you ?!
Are you the water when I'm the rose?!
Who are you ?!
Are you the light in my eyes when they are close?!
Who are you ?!
Are you the melody in my iPod when it's off?!
Who are you?!
Are you the home when it rains you become my roof?!
Who are you?!
Are you the smile when I and my tears fall down?!
Who are you?!
Are you the prize when I fail you become my golden crown?!
Who are you?!
Are you the guy of my dreams who will make my dreams come true?!
Who are you?!
Are you the angel God sent , did he replace an angel with you?!
Who are you?
You are my dream came true
Who are you?
Dear I envy myself for you
Can someone turn the taps off
Or is it leaking from above
I feel that we will float away
If it rains another day
It’s slowly driving me insane
I’m sick to death of rain ~ rain ~ rain
The sirens they are sounding
Is there someone out there drowning
As briskly they are walking along the famous prom
Are they singing like Gene Kellies
In a pair of yellow wellies
And whilst “Singing in the Rain”
Are they walking their Great Dane
Who is dressed from head to toe in a stylish bolero
As they sing and dance together
They don’t care about the weather
The seagulls perch so sick of it
No sign of tourists eating scones
Or greasy burgers or ice cream cones
They are cold and wet and predatory
So forced into the squally sea
It’s their only chance to eat you see
A bite of seafood ~ a passing shoal
To eat a meal their only goal
Oh please bring back the sunshine
For our Paradise is not the same
With all this water pouring down
It’s really sad ~ it’s such a shame
The shops they are all empty
As the tourists do not come
The grey skies are so full of rain
Oh will they ever come again
But wait ~ the skies are clearing
There’s something golden way up high
Could it be the sun or a rocket flying by
The clouds they are dispersing as they seem to be rehearsing
for when the sun shines down from a cloudless deep blue sky
So as the dawn is breaking and your heart is truly aching
At the wonder of a golden orb ascending way up high
Tourists are now coming with their bottles of Beaujolais
As they frolic in the sunshine ~ sunburnt before midday
Seagulls flying overhead and very closely eyeing
a child’s ice cream ~ oh no those gulls can really be so mean
Another day in Paradise ~ so do come down
it’s awfully nice…
Written 2018 ~ long before Covid 19 after a rather long spell of rainy weather…

N/A
The thunder rolled across the sky
Sounding like an orchestra's rythym section of drums
Beating, rolling to a crescendo
Upon the dark fluffy, floating menacing clouds
As if rumbled you felt the earth shake
One loud crack and the the symphony ended
Only to regain composure and start again
Sheets of lightning danced across the sky
Once in a while a bolt of lightning would strike
The light show was spectacular
It was nature's own fire works
It felt like the opening of a new show
The rains poured from the heaven
And the heaven opened every tear duct
It drenched everything in sight
I stood in awe of mother nature's grand show.
A man weeping in the rain
A girl sitting by the way
A Bag soaking It was grey
My car sporty with no space
My heart broke for their day
I stopped Asking for their way
little girl pointing that way
Luckily I lived that way
The bag? Could it be left
I simply do not have space
And the rain may sweep you away
Tears running down his face
The man whispered to my face
Please do not live my wife in the rain
Take my daughter she can show you the way
Later In the news back at my place
Hot chocolate and gin to warm my breath
I saw on the news a man was swept away
By the raging rains on the way to that way
In the other news, a young girl was found dead
besides her mother in a bag all grey
I sipped my gin and wept
Anyway life is that way
At times it happens anyway
LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW,
WATCHING IT RAIN.
FORCED TO STAY IN
AND I'M GOING INSANE.
LIGHTNING AND THUNDER
MAKE ME SMILE
NONE THE LESS
I'LL BE HERE A WHILE
IT STARTED EARLY THIS MORNING,
WHILE I WAS DREAMING OF FEATS.
THUNDER INTERRUPTED
MY INTENTIONAL SLEEP.
FORCED TO ARISE
JUST MADE ME UPSET.
LOSS OF SLEEP
IS LIKE GOING IN DEBT.
THE CLOUDS ARE FALLING
THE RAINS ARE LOW.
NOT ENOUGH WIND
AND NO PLACE TO GO.
NO SENSE IN BARKING
AND RUNNING AROUND.
IT ONLY MAKES SENSE
TO FIND A SPOT AND LAY DOWN
SO HERE I AM,
STUCK IN THE HOUSE.
I STARE OUT THE WINDOW
AND FEEL LIKE A MOUSE.
UNTIL THE RAIN STOP
HERE'S WHERE I'LL STAY.
ONCE THIS IS OVER
I'LL GO OUT AND PLAY.

RAIN AND FLOOD
Raining all through the night,
Mum and Dad kept busy
wading water .
Soon, the flood overflew
the wooden bench we
Sat on. And nowhere was
Safe again. Soon again,
The cock crowed crookedly.
He too was drenched in
Rain and flood.
Daybreak
We must go to School.
We walked through the
flooded Streets, groping
to school.
We couldn't go through
the Pako Bridge.
We turned to the New Bridge.
Standing and looking into
the school, flood was everywhere.
Only the headmistress and the
Teachers groped in the flood
Waving us back home.
Heavily drenched in rain and
Flood, my teeth knocked
In drumbeat against one another,
rhyming with the rains.
All Babies, all children cried,
Walking back home.
My sister strapped me on
Her little back.
Nylon bags, dustbin, human
Waste, animal dung floated on the
Flood.
Amidst staccato of crying voices;
Kids’, children’s,
Adult’s, Africans’…
anarchy was loosed
upon Nigeria
