The Old Diary

The Old Diary

I  turn each page
black on white scribbles
of yesterdays long gone.  
Eyes strain, ache, 
hold back tears that threaten
as words half remembered
sear my brain.

Stained, brown-edged, each
page a sword that pierces, 
draws forth old resentments, 
frustrations buried deep,
worms that gnawed held 
ever close through 
wasted years.

A story told, 
once dear, buried beneath 
words spoken in haste, never
revealed the love, and hate
held close to snake through  
body and soul until
eternity

Christmas - Plum Cake

Christmas – Plum Cake

If you like Plum Cake
Do beware
For unripe plums
Can cause despair

Be very careful
With the flour
Sift and sift but
Don’t take an hour

Add some sugar
But do beware
Sugar is bad,
So do take care

Mix in some 
Butter, this way
Use your fingers 
washed today

Time to mix in
Some luscious plums, 
Careful now, wash
That red tongue  

Getting late now
Off to bed
Think of tomorrow’s
Christmas –

Of the Plum Cake ahead

Memories -

Memories - 

Laughter explodes, runs riot
children huddled beneath sheets,
heads lost in wonderland of white.

Grown-ups with whispered words 
 wait, breath held tight,
at top of the stairs, passed mid-night.

Eyes closed, flushed cheeks,
presents laid at silent feet,
on coverlets bathed by moonlight.

All quiet, all through the night, until
morning brings Christmas Day’s delight.

Cookies

She smiles, they swarm around her, small beings
with huge eyes in masked faces, ‘trick or
treat’ their voices swell, fill her ears
with singsong as she holds out 
the tray. Arms reach out, small
 hands clutch, dig deep,
push against soft
flesh, nails dig
deep, cause
blood
to
surface.
She staggers,
almost falls, calls
out loud when fingers
pinch, nip at worn out flesh,
grasp tight as words that taunt fill 
the air, echo through the silent 
night, sweet cookies for everyone but
cookies are not on the menu tonight

Bouquet of Flowers

Bouquet of Flowers

Lilies tall
Virgin white,
Fill the vase beneath the light
On polished table standing bright,
Petals firm
Stalk upright
Beauty absolute.

Yellow sepals
Spread wide,
Within each throat they dare to hide
Finger bright rich yellow dyed,
Waving strong
Standing tall
Beauty absolute.

Tender green
Within glass,
Drink deep, stand tall to last,
One more day, before they pass,
Droop low
Bend deep
Beauty in retreat.

My Man

A man of many hues
that’s you,
one I cannot fathom
that’s true.
But when I look 
into your eyes
all I see is blue,
so maybe that's  
how I think of you.
Dazzling blue,
always true,
my man blue….

Complex

Complex . . . 

You look at me with the saddest eyes
You listen hard to my replies
You answer when I call your name
You sleep, you eat, you never complain
I love you, yes I really do 
I love to spend my time with you
You brighten up my every day
I’m glad you’re here, here to stay
The only thing that bothers me
Is when you wag your tail so free
I thought it love, but can it be
If you wag for every one you see
I think I’m beginning to recognise
That sad, sad look is your disguise
I don’t know you, no not at all
I’m just a sentimental fool 
As each day you teach me
How complex a dog like you can be.
