The Measuring

Asked to measure love, what can you say,where do you start
easier starter,contentment, fulfillment and trust but,
no oceans depths nor deserts wide, can capture
to the galaxys above, go further
multiplication to grains of sand, on earh to the infinity of stars
love can be, a very powerful word.

Old Jack

Having collaborated, o with just a few
   Poetry Soup members,i`ll always give them due
     for their kind comments and others even more
       one person inparticular, Old Jack, he hits the core.

          He is funny without realising,he does so make me giggle
            the picture i have of him,a tyre round his middle
               over six feet tall,with ginger hair,like a true Jock
                 stubbon as hell, very proud, and sometimes likes to mock.

                     His poems very frequently, touch on all that`s kind
                       his politeness and charm,sure that`s why the ladies find
                         a caring correspondant,or maybe a walk in the park
                           my opinion on this gent, is way above the dark.

A Gift of Friendship

Friendship is a priceless gift
                                that cannot be bought or sold
                                  for it`s value, is far greater than 
                                    a mountain made of gold.

                                      For gold is cold and lifeless
                                       it can neither see nor hear
                                         and in time of trouble
                                          tis powerless to cheer

                                            It has no ears to listen
                                             no heart to understand
                                               it cannot bring you comfort
                                                nor reach out a helping hand

                                                  So when you ask God for a gift
                                                    be thanKful if he sends, not
                                                      diamonds,pearls or riches
                                                        but the love of real true friends

The Thirteen Steps

"come fluttering words, come drifting words to me  . . . a Rambling Poet."


  The rising sun,  shone into her room
    takes a moment, to gather her thoughts
      gowns her morning attire with pride
        moves into her garden,astonishing nature

          Song birds and Sky Larks, fill her ears with music
            the morning air, so pure into her lungs
              last nights proposal, from her childhood sweetheart
                dwelling but, knowing what her answer will be

                   Life feeling exhilerating, future so bright
                     as the perfumed rose plant,  poised on her sill
                       her futre holds happiness,children, how many ?
                         her husband to be, awaits her response.

A Poem For a Friend

EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY 
I ALWAYS QUESTION MYSELF WHY
THAT LIFE HAS TO BE SO UNFAIR
WHEN I WALK IN THE HOUSE AND YOU`RE NOT THERE

GROWING UP OVER THE BORDER A FAMILY OF FIVE
I STILL CAN`T BELIEVE DAD THAT YOU ARN`T ALIVE
YOU AND VERY CLOSE MATE GEORGE BROWN 
IN THE GLASS BARRELL OR A PUB IN THE TOWN

AND EVERYONE THAT YOU DID KNOW
SAY THERE`S JOE AND GEORGE FROM THE MUPPET SHOW
YOU LOVED GOING OUT AND PLAYING POOL DOUBLES
A NICE FEW PINTS AND HOME.... NO TROUBLES

DAD IT WILL BE SO HARD FOR ME
TO FULlFIL YOUR WISHES, YOUR ASHES AT SEA.

Gone Never Forgotten

Etched in my heart,mind and soul `til i see you again
from time to time it`s hard to refrain
a little tear when i think of you
and all the things we used to do.

Your kindness and personality does live on
even so,Shirl you have gone
you have a daughter that has everything you had
your looks and manorisms, makes me so glad.

It`s a pleasent reminder that when you were here
such a comfort,that makes me feel near
to you whenever i do feel down
it lifts up my mood my spirits and frown

            R.I.P. Shirley Asprey x ( My sister )

One Day

The Lord brought to my path,a gentleman from Columbia to help each other in diverse equation and math.On our walk with Jesus on our our struggles in life, and trusting in God for a  companion and wife .

I was  not brought up with a father to guide me through, neither was Jarius so we had no clue. As to what a father's love was all about. Breakdown ,rejection a gap in our lives we scream and in frustratration shout.

For God to come and answer  our prayers not in vain,but to bring his spirit and relieve the pain. We have talked shared intimately in a short time through the thick n thick n a formidable bond is starting to begin.

The Fathers Love is there in strength,enlightening our hearts to a great new length . Jarius you are the son I've never had ,I praise God he has made me so glad . Amen.

    
                    With much love from Papa Paul ??

Middlesbrough Football Club

Our town sports a true passion
middlesbrough f.c. is like fashion
that will never ever go out of date
even though less winning and fate

...Right from back in my early days
i followed the boro home and away
spending weekends and plenty of money 
but was all worth it attending wembley.

Dedicated to Callum M.F.C. Mcguinness

Please Hear What I Am Not Saying

Don`t be fooled by the face i wear,for i wear a thousand masks and none of them are me.Don`t be fooled, for god sake don`t be fooled I give the impression that im secure,that confidence is my name and coolness is my game,and i need nobody,but don`t believe me. Beneath dwells the real me, in confusion,fear and loneliness that`s why i hide behind of this mask i`ve created,to shield me from the glance that knows,but such a glance is my salvation,that it is followed by salvation, it is followed by loveIt`s the only thing that can liberate me from my own prison walls. I`m afraid that deep down i`m nothing and no good and you will reject me. And so begins the parade of masks,i idly chatter to and tell you everything that means nothing,and nothing that is everything that is is crying within me,so please listen carefully as i try to hear what i`m not saying. I want to be genuine spontanious and me but you please help me,hold out your hand. Each time you are understanding, kind and gentle, the harsher i strike back. My heart grows very feeble wings. Your sensitivity, empathy and power of understanding you alone can release me from my self built wall and lies my only hope. Beat down these walls with firm hands,but gentle for a child who is sensitive.I`m someone you know well, for i am every man you meet, i am every woman too... I AM ALSO YOU.

Londons Burning

A  person shot dead,this how it unfolds
rioting and looting,electrcticals clothes and gold
Tottenham bore the first brunt,that came undone
and spread throughout the boroughs of London.

As i sit viewing the tabloids that brings
aireal shots fires destroying buildings
mindless youths as it spreads north
Leeds,Bristol,Birmingham to Liverpool and forth

People go homeless,shopkeepers go broke
no school for children,an absolute joke
we have soldiers in countries fighting wars
they are the  unsung heroes fighting a cause

Ashamed to be English? to an extent
i have never seen anything like this event
what will go next Buckingham Palace?
one word from me being absolute " disgrace".
