Where hideeth thee my king
Where hideeth thee my king
Come,let mine heart dance with joy
For decades its been lost in the wilderness
Distances it has travelled
and miles it has covered
Searching and hunting for thee
Arrive and awake mine lengthened dream
Let me be in love and cherish the moments
Oh king,where hideeth thee?
Come,let mine heart dance with joy
For decades its been lost in the wilderness
Distances it has travelled
and miles it has covered
Searching and hunting for thee
Arrive and awake mine lengthened dream
Let me be in love and cherish the moments
Oh king,where hideeth thee?

About this poem:
I wrote this poem when i was feeling very lonely.I just had a feeling that someone im looking for is out there and taking too long to come and let me respect and love him.For the best dad a boy could ever have
I myself have a few words of wisdom to be said:
To walk an inch is sinch,
To walk a whole yard is hard,
But never give up,
Never lose faith in yourself, never,
Or you will never walk that yard.
Love your son.
To walk an inch is sinch,
To walk a whole yard is hard,
But never give up,
Never lose faith in yourself, never,
Or you will never walk that yard.
Love your son.

About this poem:
About 9 or 10 years ago, when my son was 8 or 9, he left this hand written poem under my duvet. His mum had left a couple of years earlier and he and I were getting on with life, but it wasn't always easy.Today is his 18th birthday. I still have his hand writtem poem kept safe and sound.
He is the best son a dad could ever have.
Love's Deadly Sleep
Love's Deadly Sleep
Twice my death was so near
yet never caused such grief!
Now for me it holds no fear
if the end would bring relief!
Love in life can be so sad
with me in stress and worry!
I wonder would it be so bad
for my life to end in glory!
No big thing finding death
to spite a past false wife!
Then my soul could unearth
at the end of a lonely life!
Better now if I were to die
my love life a fitful fever!
See I clearly with inner eye
should I love yet leave her!
Perhaps all I need is sleep
to relieve my troubled head!
Were I to delve into my deep
would a life’s love lie dead?

Begin with the skin
The skin we walk in
The skin we talk in
The skin we breathe in
We begin with the sin
Peel it back, see within
The skin.
The skin we walk in
The skin we talk in
The skin we breathe in
We begin with the sin
Peel it back, see within
The skin.

A Dream Within A Dream
If you dream a dream and turn to dream it again
you awaken to the memory of a vision seen then!
When you don’t expect it the image will be there
re-appearing in different disguises, everywhere!
An echo of a sleeping world out of waking reach
a forlorn desire of something you can’t breach!
The mirrored images of what you see will seem
like sad reflections, of a dream within a dream!
The mind will not let a heart’s emotions keep
nagging from within with no respect for sleep!
In the seaming knowledge of a religious light
might simply be the refuge of an inner plight!
Within the fine balance of each person’s brain
the secrets of what makes them sane, or insane!
When we surrender to strong emotions we seem
spiritually trapped, in a dream within a dream!
Time has no place as the imagery stays with you
in it’s multiple variations in the state of Déjà vu!
You’re conscious of no colour to each revelation
just shades of grey shape your persistent vision!
Yet you hope on the day you take your last breath
you will find rainbow spirits in the truth of death!
Perhaps though death is not what it might seem
and all you view is but a dream within a dream!

JANETTE
Like a colour that has no true name
locked within a gale to me you came.
That I loved you I showed so clearly
yet I loved you too long too dearly!
We wed in our own private hurricane
before we knew our love was in vain.
I left you in your insidious tornado
on a path where no grass could grow!
I became like the wind ever searching
restless for the calm time can bring.
I lived too long with our young dream
till the day truth arrived on a beam!
The madness of our time has been cast
I am at peace now away from our past.
Though some things will remain unsaid
my love’s haunting ghost of you, is laid!

MEMORIES
MEMORIES
As I travel through the country side
I’ll stop and take the time
To listen to the winds blow
Through the tall green grass
I’ll stop to pick some flowers
As I journey on my way
And smell their delicate fragrance
Before they wilt away
I’ll sit upon the river bank
And watch the sun go down
As my mind it often wanders
And drifts back into time
I’ll reminisce in memories
Of day’s now long gone by
Of when we shared life’s simple things
Like the stars up in the sky
Or walking in a meadow
On a sunny summer day
Or holding hands and laughing
While we watched our children play
If it wasn’t for those memories
My life wouldn’t be worth while
For they keep me young in spirit
And smiling all the while

About this poem:
Just sitting here thinking back over the yearsSome People
There are some people I meet
that bring from me an endless string
of poetic thoughts.
The depth in them draws out
the depths in me.
You are such a person.
There are some people I know
that bring from me painful tears
caused by surrender.
The awesome power they possess
draws the strength from me.
You are such a person.
There are some people I know
that could bring to me endless rapture
and peace in my heart.
Drawing my adoring love to them
even as they came to me.
Be such a person.
that bring from me an endless string
of poetic thoughts.
The depth in them draws out
the depths in me.
You are such a person.
There are some people I know
that bring from me painful tears
caused by surrender.
The awesome power they possess
draws the strength from me.
You are such a person.
There are some people I know
that could bring to me endless rapture
and peace in my heart.
Drawing my adoring love to them
even as they came to me.
Be such a person.

About this poem:
This is how I felt beginning a new relationship.Peace in the World
If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
