Lay your head on my heart
Feel the beats stop and start
Our mind pictures blending
the feelings we are tending
feel the warmth of my skin
it must be win win
Reach out to me
Feel the beats stop and start
describe your feelings
in this time we are stealing
a time free to care
we have little to spare
Lay your head on my heart
Feel the beats stop and start
My love is not of the springtime
Blossoms, nesting birds and new born lambs
Rising sap and sprouting leaf
Nor is it the love of summertime
Bursting buds, showy flowers, perfumed air
Hot wind, heating the skin
It is not the love of autumn
Falling leaves, rain and cold wind
Hot and cold alternately
My love is of the winter
Sharp sparkling frost warmed by the rays of the gentle sun
Cold outside but inner warmth sitting by the cracking flames
Heady lust has settled
Looking for new pastures has waned
Now the warmth of friendship, the bond of trust
Shared dreams, laced with humour.
I am attracted to your light
Like a moth to a flame
A shining beacon held tight
That I cant penetrate
I feel your spirit near me
So tantalising close
I let my essence flow free
so we mingle close
As we dance the air dreamy
our essence entwined
We share so deeply
It cant be defined
Our bodies are longing
our souls find a way
To bridge times crossing
For our minds to hold sway
Without ever touching you
I find myself drawn
To the part thats so true
Though it has no form
Though you will never be mine
In a tangible way
My heart is a shrine
Where you can stay
I am attracted to your light
I sense you near me
Painting me with your eyes
Although all you see is a picture
A vision on far away skies
I feel you near me
Although you are far away
Communicating over the ether
Is so commonplace today
I feel I know you
Although only through what you share
I have a limited portrait
With a canvas that has large bits bare
I feel a friendship
Growing stronger with time
The strength of the sketch
Will strengthen or maybe decline
I feel you near me
We are able to share
Humour, interests and difficulties
Adds a dimension most rare
Softly blown
Kisses and wishes
Carried to you
Over boundless ellipses
Of trust and lust
Fluttering and floating
Quietly hushed
Valiantly hoping
Our feelings attuned
For you to seize
To set you on fire
Caught on a whim, heavenly buzz
As the words and pictures
Swirl and brim
Totally bewitched
Sustain love caught on a whim
Friends across the miles Getting together to harmonise We are here with ear and heart Sharing good and bad, though far apart Our thoughts and concerns dont need to stew … Continue reading Friends
You make me laugh you make me smile
You ease my troubles for a while
When the world feels gloomy and my skies feel grey
You help brighten the mood add light to my day
I celebrate the essence of you
Fifty years, where has it gone
Left with lifes myriad ghosts and many lines of song
Fifty years since we all arrived
To start our nurse training, young vibrant and alive
A group of girls who had never met
Thrown together to mesh,to blend into a safety net
Three years of training, working and living close together
Some bonded close, but all formed a bond that revives what ever
Disparate interests and backgrounds at the start
Each keen to learn the nursing art
Fifty years of love and life have passed
Marriage, families, life’s travails, but all have still plyed their craft
Fifty years celebrated with chat and reminisce
Each adding memories to the mix, giving us all a glimpse
Of the time that made lasting changes to the mix
Fifty years that is quite a fix
That perhaps helped form those girls, into women of strength
Who have continued joy, caring and compassion thence
Fifty years yet still those girls are standing there
Maybe a little changed but still essentially the same, I declare
Fifty years still able to meet
Well girls ain’t that quite a feat?
This is the story of a group of women who started to train as nurses in June 1966 at a hospital in England. Who all married had families and who all continued to work most for another 40 years as nurses. They met last week to celebrate their 50 year reunion of meeting and training. This is my tribute to them.
Suffused with love and caught on a whim
Feeling excited hoping to win
Sending you wishes and hopes by the score
Blowing them mightily out of the door
Swirling, whirling into the sky
Floating, flying ,oh so high
Fluttering and Floating never tied down
Growing into happiness if they land on the ground
Leaving signs of the love that we share
Floating around you with plenty to spare
Tides
Tides wash along the shore
Ebb and flow for ever more
Relationships also ebb and flow
Sometimes falter sometimes grow
Times of dark and times of sun
Always working, when attached to fun
Sunny moments dispel the grey
Keeping up with feet of clay
Are we walking hypnotised
Just trying on relationships to find the right size
Relationships ebb and flow
Can we work to make it grow
