Poems
I used to write a lot of poetry, some was very personal, some of it was just total rubbish, but when I was down in the dumps I picked up a pen and paper and wrote it all down. It used to make me feel better, nowadays, a babysitter knocking on the door makes me feel better :o) Only joking..........Anyway a selection, they may not be good for you but they meant/mean a lot to me. I was 15 when I started writing, some of my earlier poems are a bit naff, but no sarcastic commments please :o)
1989/1990
10th January 1989
It is possible to feel lonely
Even in a room full of friends,
As loneliness stems from the heart
And will not easily mend.

I met love one night
Asleep in my thoughts,
Alive in my dreams,
I met you.
We loved
We talked,
We kissed,
We walked....time never was.
I met love one night
A sad, lonely;
unforgettable sight.
I love to love
I've met love,
I thank thee
Now I know me
Everyone come and see.
I'm refreshed
Woken anew;
I know now
What all the pain is for.
I met love one night
Alive together
I shall remember you for forever.
Forget me not
and death shall be my happiness.
I know now
I've met it.
All you need is to love,
to be loved.
Loneliness was before I met you in dreams.
I met love that night.
An observation
Comfort is found in the livng,
Trust in the dead.

Jane Eyre
Innocent grief,
Of what was never had.
Pride stood tall
Within her grasp.
Impossible selfishness
Was aware,
of the ignorant heart
she did bare.

Summer Days
The summer days
are here again.
It's time for the pram parade....
to begin.
Bonny spring babies
All clad in white
Trying to get dirty
with all their might.
Darling young mothers,
Grandmothers too
Carry a hanky,
as babies get manky.
An entourage follows
wherever babes go,
holding the bottle or nappy
or a set of clean clothes.
The frills and pink
lace of days
Sunny Summer parade days.
24th June 1989
I am an island.
Midway, between the land
and the nothing.
Trapped with all but thought.
Winded seas engulf my arms.
I drown.
Unnoticed in our rituality.
