Shine

Shine as a source of endless light
whose rainbows of colour deter the night
where daydreams are gentle as doves in flight
and sleep the sleep of angels

Shine like a shower of soft moonbeams
Inhabit the sea of a thousand dreams
where laughter and love are timeless themes
and sleep the sleep of angels

Shine like the sun in a golden sky
On warm, sultry evenings, a fragrance, a sigh
an echo of summer as life passes by
and sleep the sleep of angels

My Big World

My Big World


My world was never so big
then I looked for you
and you were gone
You walked into a thousand misty summers
and now
rooted to this spot
I wait
It's a private thing
Our secret, shared
in which all that is
and all that was
holds its breath
while I grieve
in my big world
where living without you
is like that hole you used to talk about
that could never be filled
a hole as big as the world 
and as empty

Sitting In the Park

This is the park
where once we played
where every tree
holds a poignant memory
of love 
and laughter.

This is the tree
where you sat and cried
for your first true love
whose heart had grown cold
salt tears
on cool earth.

This is the seat
still etched with the names
of friends and lovers
we no longer see
some have gone
others live on.

This is a place 
where dreams were born
on a summer's day
so long ago, where
hearts were light
and futures, bright.

This is a town
where life passes by
all too quickly.
Sitting in the park
I close my eyes
and remember.

Love Prevails

In this world 
of broken dreams
and tarnished hearts
love prevails
in small acts of kindness
You re-kindle a flame
in my barren heart
restore my faith
in the human race
As the sound of a train
in a long, dark tunnel
reverberates all around
your generosity 
holds me
in a powerful embrace
Meanwhile, somewhere,
miles from here
you quietly go on living your life
unaware of the miracle
you have wrought in my soul

A Mother's Heart

A mother's heart bleeds
as it beats
as she grieves
for all those lost
like fallen leaves

Her secrets mingle forever
with tears
Unlocked, 
unshared,
the relentless years

She has no voice but
Love
Unreciprocated
unrequited 
love

No role more testing
than her own
in the unfolding plan
she loves
alone

Powerless, she stands
before joy
before pain
as the arrows that pierce her heart
fall again

Ebb-Tide

She floats on an ebb-tide
in the slipstream of life
and all her ambitions
are but transient dreams
which mark the divide
between nature
and nurture
while downstream
the essence of summer
always just out of reach
lies waiting

At the turn of the tide
she will leave behind
the wistful sighs
the sorrowful eyes
to embrace once more
the adventure called Life
where, upstream
lie strength and beauty
and in the distance
Home

Love Spell

Tears are flowing
from an unknown source
you created a hole 
I cannot fill
I drank rom your spell
and I fell
deeper and deeper
into a pool of dreams
where love and tears
go hand in hand
Dreamland
with you
unattainable you
only at home
to the lucky few
Here is my heart
you can take my life too
in return
just your photo will do

Mallow

Long, low, laden spurs
of bright pink trumpets
lean and languish
shading the grass beneath
that place the greener
for its covering
Above, a bee's incessant hum
perfect pink promises
waving high
against still blue cloudless sky

Autumn Leaf

Falling
Gliding
Tumbling slowly
Cast adrift to trip and skip
at the wind's will.
Floating, motionless
on air waves.
Tossed in a torrent
of swift surrender,
a last brief shaft of life
that ends quietly
underfoot

Seasonal Thoughts

The sun is still warm,
the trees, full of leaves,
yet one or two, yellowed,
have fallen.
As the first, fresh winds
of autumn
clear cobwebs away
the days grow shorter,
the last of the summer flowers
give their all,
and another season passes
without protest,
as another summer passes
like a dream.
