Last Commented Family Poems (502)

On one of those days, you tend to cruise
Doing chores, just the ones you choose
Stress not a factor, taking your time
At one with the universe, all is fine

Trying to keep warm, though outside
The scene is still, no nature rides
On a breeze, this dull winters day
Thoughts of family, stir you today

Long awaited wedding, across the world
Hope for sunshine, as their day unfurled
Over oceans and land, loving thoughts unite
Dreams shared together, unique and so right

Messages and photos, will tomorrow be shared
Thanks to the internet, between those that cared
Yet today it's just thoughts, that bind you as one
And dreams that the day, is warmed by the sun...….

Anger

I look at you and cannot see
the light that used to shine from me
when I beheld the beauty of your grace.

The love that oozed from every pore
I laid so sweetly at your door
is gone when I behold your precious face.

I ache from every wretched bone
internalising when alone
my anger at your going from this place.

When severing all ties, you swore
my grandchildren I'll see no more,
now ire-filled I am lonely in disgrace.

I see you every day
it's not important you see me
I'm the man who moors his boat
near your house beside the quay

your son is older than me
learning issues t'would appear
he follows you like gravity
like a worry follows fear

you never appear angry
in the face of nature's mirth
every day he walks beside you
every day a brand new shirt

you always seem to have a smile
as you fumble for your key
I'm humbled by your kindness
you must be north of sixty-three

I think about your life
as the water soaks the sands
you hold your son so tightly
an umbilical cord of hands

"who looks after you" I think
but there's steel around your home
a dignity past this modern place
a swan a'swim in chrome

Don’t drop me in it if you see my wife,
don’t tell her where you saw me yesterday.
I know you wouldn’t want to cause me strife,
and if you told her, there’d be hell to pay,

I wasn’t doing anything improper,
but even so, she wouldn’t understand.
Once she starts there is no way to stop her.
When she loses it things soon get out of hand.

I am aware of how it looked and what you’re thinking,
but what you thought it was, well it was not
No doubt you just assumed that I’d been drinking
when you thought you saw me doing you know what.

I’m glad we’ve had this chance to sort this out,
and that my side of the story has been put.
So now you know there’s nothing to make a fuss about,
I’m relying on you to keep your big mouth shut.

So thanks a lot for this, you won’t regret it.
Oh, and that twenty quid you owe me, let’s just forget it.

I know you love me.
Oh no. You didn’t.
You only love him.
All for him.
All about him.
I know you love me.
But you’ve never lent your arms to me.
Heaven knows when I cried.
Hell knows when I put myself into the darkest night by myself.
I know you love me.
For sure, I mean nothing to you.
I know where I belong.
I know where I come from.
But I’d never belong to you.
I know you love me.
You did care but it wasn’t you.
It wasn’t for me.
Or am I just a mistake to you?
To be your daughter ?
Am I just that bad?
I’ve never gotten a forehead kiss from you.
Not even just a hug.
I know you love me.
But truth showed me everything.
That you left me no choice to hate you.
I’ve been trying to understand.
But it keeps repeating again and again.
God knows I've tried.

One day sooner than later I hope
A return journey I must learn to cope
Put aside the unpleasant history
And regale within my own story
Learn about the blood within
Of unborn relationships of no sin
A stranger no doubt is what they see
But in my heart is their identity
Can never remove that part of me
It's buried deep no one can see
Only then will I ever understand
The essence of me and my hand
Why the beauty of nature compels me so
To paint a picture of words you know
Admire the mountains with a unique intense
Imagine the freshness it just makes sense
Seek out all I need to learn
My birthplace my identity my yearn.......

It seems like just the other day
Your frail body .....just lay
Within the walls of Gods hospice
Yearning for your inner peace
You thought that maybe you would last
To the day you held fast
But alas the eve you could not surpass
For time had come... it was your last
I hope you still hear your piano sing
The beautiful sounds that it did bring
Your delicate hands dancing on key
Lost forever in melody
I hope you still feel the salty air
The early dawns you wanted to share
The ocean sounds that gave life
To an enthusiasm rich with strife
I hope you still see your family grow
Your children.... with their children in tow
The sounds of laughter you did admire
You smiled with eyes that would never tire
I hope you still smell the spices abound
Enticing hunger pains within the frowns
Satisfying all who would sit down
For more was .....always the sound
I hope that you never forget
That your life was never regret
Special memories full of respect
As i sit ponder and reflect.........

Love is the thing that keeps you up all......

Night because you would rather talk to that person than sleep....
