A day when grey skies and rain doesn't matter
Your inner sun, and friends warming chatter
Lift your spirts, making you smile and chuckle
Nothing upsets you, in a busy timetable juggle

On other days, you may have fought back tears
Yet these special days, the outcome is clear
Attitude and confidence, will win through
You feel blessed, and that is the only clue

These days so special, teach us to smile
Learning to remember, and retain on file
Tucked away deep, in our emotional core
Memories kept safe, until needed once more

I had one of these special days, last week
Friendship surrounded me, feelings so deep
That will warm me on chilly times in life
When we fight to overcome, what we call strife

stands the chance of opposition
and uh being created of thin air
but when darkness shrieks down the hallway at ya
and calls you a living punk well
you better believe I noted the sideways mark on your face
before YOU ran away screaming
they say scents trigger memories like nothing else
oh the tiny rooms full of cat shit
and rotten food and rotted souls
and claiming desperate waterfalls
and banging holds and calls
let's wander the street alone shall we?
an approximate pun is to look at a gun in your face saying get h*rny
I had to think of someone else
I had to imagine waterfalls and grievances that forgot their own name and revived a pretty nature's lame to tying up.
reversed I was used and dried up and love is a curse and not real, what was right f*cking there was not real you say, but good enough to be wasted along with my mind

Children from different walks of life
Mix of laughter, play, without strife
Helping each other, so good to see
Different cultures, innocence a key

From countries, around the world they came
Seeking a new life, with needs the same
A tiny girl, asked if I came here too
South African, her pretty name a clue

Explained I came from London, I smiled
Like them had travelled, thousands of miles
Mixed with Kiwi kids, sitting so still
Listened to stories, having their fill

Older ones helping, was good to see
Treasure hunt or craft, enjoyment key
I learnt so much from them that week
Children teaching adults, ages and cultures meet.....

[]As I lay in my bed
Music fills in my head
Memories, of you,
Leaves me feeling blue,
As I toss and turn
I, yearn for you
when am I, going to learn
I, need to wait my turn
Today, I saw pictures
Of you and me,
On ,our wedding day
The love, in our eyes
Could, not be disguised
So much love
Can never die
Now, you're with God, above
I hear you singing,
I see your tears,
No, other love compares
to the love, we share
Our thirty-fourth anniversary
Is a short time away
In my head, we dance and sway
Our, son is a mirror image
I see, you in, his eyes
I see ,you in, his smiles
I hear , you, in his laughter
I thank, God for the little piece
Of you, he's given to me
I'm, gonna close my eyes,
go to sleep
Dream, of me, and you,
and the memories
I have to keep.

A quiet stare feels so real
Every time I think of you
Because in my heart reveal
A simple dream come true

A longing I will always feel
A presence I always knew
On my heart there is a seal
Only to be opened by you

Let me find a way to say
Everything will find a way
Need to come home today
Love can no longer stray

Searched so long to find
One love will be revived
Imagined you in my mind
That is how I survived

Is love so rarely true
Now alive and forever stay
Out of the cold stone blue
A face made of sculpted clay

I AM
this legal alien
feeling unsettled
like a pen with no ink;
car without an engine;
jockey without a horse;
child without a parent;
house without a roof;
infirm without a bed;
boat without an anchor;
pet without an owner;
plane without a pilot;
bike without wheels;
pot without a plant;
spring without water;
Like a tree without roots;
feeling unsettled
this legal alien
I AM

A poem that's not good enough
A brain that's not smart enough
A talent that's just not there
A pen in hand anyway
Helps to pass the time away
Whether mediocre or fair

Connections not good enough
Funds not rich enough
A social life that's just not there
A pen in hand anyway
Helps to pass the time away
And when I'm through I'll look at the wall and just stare

Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare

My flower is fading
Losing some of its
Summer bloom
Fading fast from glory
A brilliant sun does pass
Baked into perfection
From such tender roots
To the heaven bound buds
Rising to the top of all high
Like a personal resurrection
Albeit one best not surpassed
I give you my morning
My best indication of all
Just tender loving care
Is all I will ever need

As I often watch videos of animals rescued and finding love ..
after so much hardship and abuse , sometimes too late ,
and sadly had to cross the rainbow above ...
I’m left with the firm conviction that in them you unfailingly
find God’s beauty and true essence ...
And in their eyes, whether suffering
or finding happiness in their existence ...
You always see the truth in their gaze ,
and never have to doubt the meaning of their ways ...

I often wonder ... where’s the unconditional love and undying
committment in us humans ,
that these animals are all able to show ...
Why with all our intellect and mental faculties
all too many seem to not know ...
All the two-faced pretending ,
the lies people end up saying ...
Why cant we just own up for who we really are ...
say what we really feel ...
but most of all, instead of our worse,
the best of ourselves we share and reveal ...

So I laud the people who can see and feel all these too,
have opened their hearts and their lives
for God’s furry, feathered, bare skinned and what have you ...
In number we may not be as much as is needed for all ,
but we do try what we can
so those in need may not fall ...
