A Haibun – Japenese form that includes a prose poem and a Haiku. Time stood still as You walked into the water spangled mist Memories washed over me The sound of your voice Your smile that special look Drowned by the sound of roaring water Pain intensified Overhead swooping bird Steals happiness drops sadness Memories… Continue reading Memories

My home
Inside my bag are packed the things that fill my heart with joy the faded, threadbare shawl that whispers a tinplate soldier toy. Inside my bag wrapped well in cloth a tiny mirror fragment immortalised inside that glass the ghosts of those I love Some memories are intransigent Inside my bag stowed very safe two… Continue reading My home
Communicating Emotions
When a smile lights up a face, Warms the soul, leaves a trace, Joy and happiness fit the bill. Halt Sometimes misery adds a chill, Frown and glower sets the face, For despair we have to brace. Re group Try to find the bud of hope, Nurture it expand its scope, Don’t rail about the… Continue reading Communicating Emotions
Lifes bitter sweet song
I thought you were my forever love, I pined when you were gone, I pictured your every move, Not to think about you seemed so wrong, But now, you are a faded memory, I struggle to see your face, I have learnt from times legacy, I am now full of grace, I have found another… Continue reading Lifes bitter sweet song

I got carried away by our interaction, Thought it was a source of mutual attraction, I got carried away by your seeming caring, Those whispered words and the texts endearing, I imagined ,we shared something special at times, I am sure we did, fleetingly, or maybe I am blind, I knew you had others, Then… Continue reading Diverting my love
Live tomorrow with pride
Hold the joy of the moment Keep it safe within Whatever happens tomorrow Don’t let the demons in When things pan out in abundance Remember, that moment of bliss It’s yours to keep, to treasure, to learn Like when, you stepped off the cliff If your dreams don’t pan out and things go askew Regroup,… Continue reading Live tomorrow with pride
Events from the past
Frozen in time, behind windows of glass, In the museum of the mind Events from the past, in crystal clear clarity The memories are stored, allowing recall first class. But how clean are those windows? From the thoughts we revive, When we dredge deep in the recesses, for treasures or lines, Have some of the… Continue reading Events from the past
Mystic schemes
Mystic schemes Precious dreams You are there Buyer beware Syntillating thoughts But a row of noughts Wishful thinking Hopes long sinking You are chasing the new Leaving me to rue Mystic schemes Precious dreams Maybe really nightmare screams Smash them all to smithereens Find a way to recreate Precious dreams not parlous state.
