Loving Light

Love is like a blinding light
At First your looking
With all your might
To find the one 
You’ll love forever
To find the one
To build a life together

Like a raging volcano
Ash swirling in the winds
Simmering and patient
The eruption begins

Love can be 
Fiery
Passionate
And true

Love can be 
Supportive
Understanding
Through and through

Giving all of me
To all of you
A lending ear
When times feel blue

A loving hug
A gentle whisper
A honest opinion
A harmless bicker

Through all the good and bad
Through all the up and downs
Through all the love and laughter
And the acting like clowns

That light you was once looking for
Is stronger than can be
That light is beaming a warm soft glow
Like a sunrise over the sea

For this is what true love is
A warm and beautiful glow
A love that feels so endless
And makes your soul feel whole

It was that one moment 
In which my heart was stole
Walking together
A lifelong stroll.

The Best Man Yet

For you were such a gentleman 
your smile sincere and true
For your hair was always in it's place
your funniness shone through

For the love you had of sport's
anything would do
football, tennis and many more
will always remind me of you

Your love of a great war film
Your love of a 25p bet
chatting to the pound shop girl's
A man impossible to forget

From your charming personality
to the way you wound up Nan
a little nudge
a little poke
the laughter it began

Your love of laying in the sun
Your balcony or in Spain
wasn't guaranteed the weather 
it always seemed to rain

Yet your tan always so immaculate
A lovely golden brown
that's what happens when you move your sunbed
to follow the sun around

Your love of having a bit of cheese
or should I say a block
cracker's and cheese for everyone
say around 8 o'clock

Enjoyed cleaning a oven
and drinking a nice cup of tea 
got lumbered entertaining kids
enjoyed a stroll down Leigh on sea

Your shirts always tucked in
and looking extra smart
Smelling of aftershave
You always looked the part

A handsome man
with a personality to desire
happy and bubbly
could dry your hair with his hands
faster than a hair dryer

It's all the little thing's
that made you 
you
that we miss and love 
but make us feel blue

Forever we remember
we will never forget
we were blessed to encounter
The best man yet!

Her

Her selflessness inspiring 
Her heart so pure and true
Her presence keeps you smiling
Her unconditional love shines through

Her desire in putting others first
Her time with treasured friends
With her positive nature
Your broken heart she mends

Her smell of Dolce Vita
Her eyes so bright and blue
Her love of crime scene series
The Greek islands is where she flew

Her impartial opinions
Her love for the biscuit tin
Her laid back approach to life
Her beautiful radiant grin

Her bubbly personality
Her questionable singing
Her sanity in working
Her strength in our upbringing

Her supportiveness through the bad times
Her independence to the core
Her patience is astonishing
A woman I adore

Her devotion to her family
Her sweet kind natured aura
Her fondness of a daffodil
Her bracelet full of Pandora

She turned my fears to happiness
Guided me through life
always lent her shoulder
cried when I became a wife

For she
She has no manual
She wings it from the start
She gives you everything she has
even when she's falling apart

For her this poem I penned
Though she is my mother 
and I her daughter
She is truly my best friend...

Mr Anxiety

I feel like I am drowning
Cant pull myself ashore
Floating further away 
From the me
I Know no more

Sinking in my thoughts
crippling in self doubt
Please try not to listen
Let the negative thoughts be out

I feel like I am trapped
Stuck within my head
Overthinking
Worrying
I should be looking ahead

Replaying failed scenarios
From years and years ago
Why are they so relevant 
Only Mr Anxiety knows

My smile it hides my struggles
My mask it hides my fears
My forehead slightly sweating
Here comes a few more tears
My body's tight with tension
My heart in rapid beat

I must stop giving my attention 
To Mr Anxiety.

Forever Blowing Bubbles

Forever blowing bubbles

my step it softens firmly
Firmly to the ground
'please mind the gap'
a tannoy over head 
it sounds

people talking on the phone
children I hear screeching
trains thundering past
a religious preacher preaching

security watching passengers
ticket barriers beeping
the background sound
of  the underground
a cleaner casually sweeping

exiting the crowded station
to the sound of beautiful music
a guitar, a blanket and a dog
a voice so therapeutic 

my eyes are met with a sea of colour
the rich colour of claret and blue
supporters chanting 'IRONS
our passion so dedicated and true

we walk the long concrete path
that leads us to our home

the home of our club
the home of passion
our beautiful perfect dome

the smell of food stalls fills the air
excitement and nerves 
as we venture near

entering the stadium
looking for our stand
seat numbers and tickets
still held in our hand

charged and nervous
and soaking in the atmosphere
butterflies whirling in your belly
settle that with a pint of beer 

I'm forever blowing bubbles
ringing through the speakers
the fans roar loudly
we sing proudly
we're no glory seekers

our blood runs claret 
our veins run blue
Westham United
through and through..

My Future Self

I hope to god your smiling
I hope life's all you thought
I hope you have listened carefully
learned all that you was taught

I hope you live in happiness
I hope that you're still fighting on
I hope you still say sorry 
when you know that you were wrong

I hope you gained some confidence
I hope your feeling listened to
I hope your living your best life
wind in your hair and a beautiful sea view

I hope you fell in eternal love
I hope you found authenticity 
I hope your looking after you
both mentally and physically

Life may get difficult
Love can be complicated 
Health may deteriorate
Your name may get slated

Life has its ups
equally its downs
sometimes the room 
feels like its spinning around

But to my future self
let it be known
I cant wait to meet you 
when WE are grown..

Thunder In the Rain

clear and peaceful 
the air fell still
the clouds moving in
in the distance
over the hill

the birds stopped singing
the bees disappeared
the traffic slowed 
as the storm brewed near

glistening rain 
trickled from the clouds
heavier and heavier
the drops came down

the sky above us rumbled
like anger from up above
a roar of booming explosion 
like a passionate kind of love

electric charged the atmosphere
the sky expanded tragically
an ever-growing endless dream 
of raging power
and 

magically..

The sky lit up
an intensive surge of power 
contractions heightened 
the storm
hour by the hour

the lightening molten silver
vivid in night
the megawatt anger of nature
striking in plain sight

slashing through the darkest clouds
blacker than the devils soul
the thunder duetted the lightening
nature is in control

subtly the diagnosed 
began to loose its symptoms
the sun peaked through
the clouds fluffed up 
natures unwilling victims

the bluey grey brindle 
with the softest accent of white
the beauty of the sky 
always outshines 
the stormiest of nights .

Social Media

In a world where life
can be so cruel
instead of being part of the problem
don't be that fool

don't tweet that message
so vile and untrue
no one wants to hear the nastiness you spew

These social media platforms
are create a breeding ground
A breeding ground
for hateful opinions
Bullying in a online playground

But you heard it from the papers
So I guess it must be true?
All media outlets tweeting
Waiting for the storm to brew

The Sun, The Daily Mail and more
The media outlets
Pestering families
Banging at the door
No thought for a person
The person in question
You're creating a cycle
A cycle for depression

The 'Story' will always end the same way
A life that's lost
Their final day

So today as we should should
on every other day
be kind, be thoughtful
Nothing nice to say?
Please walk away

Don't be a troll
Don't spread your hate
Don't criticize people
Don't spread that click bait
Don't pick out their faults
Don't share that fake news
Don't follow the lies
Social Media tells you

Mans Best Friend

A slobbering smile
A loving stare
A sofa, bed and floor
Covered in hair

A morning stroll
A paw in the air
Waiting for a tummy rub
A bear with a tear

Jumping in puddles
Biting at the rain
Itching their bum on twigs
Eyeballing Great Danes 

Tapping their paws
When dinner is coming
Chasing their ball
Tail constantly drumming

A subtle growl
To warn the unknown
Snoring and twitching 
On her throne

A collar that jingles
As they enter the room
A snuggle
A sneeze
A fight with the broom 

A nightly routine of
Coming to say goodnight
From my side to your side
They love you with all their might

For dogs they are precious
Too precious for this world
They meet you and greet you 
Spinning around they twirled

The loyalty they show
Truly unbeaten 
Mans best friend
Our life they sweeten..

Cancer

Cancer you have broken me
Torn my world apart
You selfishly took my loved one
I can't heal my broken heart

Cancer, Oh I hate you
Why do you even exist?
I wish no one had to suffer
The years we all have missed

Cancer you are evil
The worst disease to roam this earth

You take and take
Without a thought
A life
A family
Brought to a halt

The families they suffer
A world they never knew
A world without their loved one
All because of you

Cancer we will beat you
We will see it through
We will find the research
To eradicate you

Though for now 
We continue to fight

We continue to fight
Through the darkness into the light

Remembering lost ones
As we look up to the sky
My heart wasn't ready
Wasn't ready to say Goodbye
