Bit of a cockup in original posting -here goes!
Their Favourite Things
Teardops they’re shedding; with lies they’ve been smitten,
“Bright sunlit uplands” still promised for Britons,
Brown paper packages, no attached strings,
Those are a few of their favourite things.
When reality bites, when the truth stings,
When they’re feeling sad,
They’ll simply remember their fa...

tears of sorrow
the streets of Uvalde full of tears
tears over the loss of precious children
but also tears of the loss of a nation’s innocence
did we lose it on waldon’s mountain
or the streets of mayberry
or around our own dinner tables
or in the womb of the chapel
can it be found again

blue tears

her blue tears
falling on the pink morning
created a lavender sky

Teacher
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong
A teacher....
Teach your students colors,shapes, letters, numbers, teach them about life, and now keep them safe from guns
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong, remember you are a teacher
Teach your students to not be afraid, yet in your heart you know the world is again...

A Convenient Time
“Her timing was impeccable,” Amanda said,
When she told me that her mum was dead.
I mumbled words of weak condolence
As she shed some silent, angry tears.
Yet her grief seemed somehow heightened
By the frustration felt by those of us
Still lumbered with this mortal coil.
“Why did it have to happen NOW?
In the middle of this Easter rush!”
Let’s not beat about th...

Osmosis Of Emotion
Tears, miniature universes
Prisms to human experience
Melodies, songs, and verses
Played out through the eyes
Osmosis of emotion
Tears in motion
Written on the face
With pure devotion
Feelings looking
For a sense of place

Thanks for the invite, John Botterill. I tried my best! 😂

My Mother, Waving Goodbye.
I could see her on the first-floor landing
As I drove off from the car park below,
Her hand was raised, waving gladly.
She was peering, blindly, towards me,
With eyes which had ceased being able to see.
A mother’s smile was on her face
Epitomising all her love and grace.
I stopped the car to dab my eyes,
She would never see the tears I cried,
When I spotted my mothe...

Futility
Tears of trepidation along
the tracks of expectation,
because a presentiment said
it can't possibly work, this
attempt at a paradigm shift
out of moroseness into the dream
of hope's wiles, for the future
treasures your trials, and
plans to set them free just when
you've told despondency to flee!

Tears
Tears come too frequently with age.
The old accentuate despair
And store up their disappointments,
Accepting, with its bitter taste,
The enormity of failure.
They learn to love the shorter days
And seek comfort in the darkness.
They hanker for secure times,
Now just beyond their memory,
When tears they wept were pure joy.

Your Tears Returned
Two separate, lonely tears descend your cheeks,
Through the moody darkness beneath your eyes,
Precious pearls which leave no streaks.
Are you crying for all those refugees?
The brutality heaped upon our fellow Man.
Or is your sadness so much closer to home?
I will solve your sorrow if I can.
I will roll those tears back, ascending your face,
Retracing their path to your bea...
