The old mans fable

Do not consider me frail, do not consider me weak

Although I may walk at the speed of a snail and find the inclines rather steep

Do not consider me past it, do not consider me fractious

For I have lived for many a year but that does not make me not belong here

For my heart still beats and I can still move my feet, just not as fast as you

So think twice when you give me your ...

Someday soon..who knows..maybe.

What is this mental condition 'depression' that has befriended me so well ?

I feel part of the belonging yet I do'nt really belong here

Is this person really me ?

She seems so different, she seems lost in the confusion of this illness

I want to find my way out of here

I want to be away from this 'depression' and be myself again...

 

someday soon..

who knows..

Short and sweet

Life is great as I close the front door walk down the path and go out through the gate

 

Life is great as the sun beats down from lovely blue skys and people smile not frown.....

AN AFRICAN MOTHERS LOSS

Come sit by me my little one

Let me wipe the tears from your eyes

Your so dear to me my precious  son

Your tender life not long begun

 

The pain in your body I know it's bad

Supplies didn't arrive today

Your big brown eyes so pitifully sad

For the heat of the sun took your food away

 

We listen each day, we look to the skies

All of us with our pitiful...

LIFE'S PUZZLE

Life is one huge puzzle from birth to death

Actions, words, thoughts, emotions all fuelled by each incoming breath

Until the end when you breathe no more and you go knocking on Heaven's door

You would think you have been lucky if each piece fitted into place

That you would be unlucky if you went searching to fill each empty space

But then have you been lucky if all falls int...

CHEEKY MONKEY

Oh you cheeky little monkey why you sitting in that tree

Dangling my car key and laughing loud at me

A daytrip to safari park and stepped out for a pee

You saw that golden moment when you snatched away my key

For you knew that I'd be busy with my little twinkle dee

Well just you wait my time will come

When you jump down and I smack your bum

For you will get such a sh...

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Where does the inspiration come from? with the memories of the past full flowing in my mind

Where does the inspiration come from? fresh thoughts I need to find

But the past it seems to haunt me, my memories are strong

Of sad and happy things of which I once belonged

But life goes on regardless and new paths I need to take

So where does the inspiration come from? I need to st...

gentle rain

Rain it falls so gently on the waiting earth below

Little budding plants drink so to make them grow

Grow into beautiful blossoms sending out lots of love

Thankful for the rain falling gently from above...

PERFECT DAY

The sun shines bright this day, the sky is so still

Flowers bloom ,in the distance a hill

Horses grazing in the field,golden wheat the farmer will yield

Country lane soiled baked with heat

Cows swishing tails ,green grass they eat

Dogs in yard of cottage painted white

Washing on rope,lady on chair

Reading her book , resting herself

My lunchbreak over,back to city...

START OF A NEW DAY

The dawn is breaking the sun shows her face

Another day is born in this lovely place

The grass it stands so proud the daisies raise their heads

Little baby rabbits from burrows they do peep

Little nostrils twitching and stretching out their legs

Ready for the new day as they leave behind their sleep

Ready to seek adventure outwith their cosy beds ........

Hopeful Recovery

I stir from my sleep the feelings are there

As I draw my morning breath my minds in despair

The gnawing and the clawing on my guts they take revenge

These demons that haunt me they never seem to lend

To lend respite to my dilemma

They just burn like glowing embers

Taking over my mind it feels so never ending

As I go on pretending and pretending

Pretending that I'm trying when inside I feel...

Freedom of the Butterfly

Chitter chatter chitter chatter on the phone with friends for hours and hours

Whiling away time now I am alone in this place we once called home

So much has changed since you have been gone

My life is trying to move on

The constant stress you did create is taken over by another stress but one trying not to hate

Things are so different now my life has changed but your presence still remains

Left versus Right

Funny ha ha or Funny being strange

Funny telling jokes or Funny being deranged

Such a jolly being or Such a prick de-brained

Such a gentile soul or Such a beast untamed

The left of me is wholesome The right of me is maimed

The left can stay and pleasure The right can stay in chains.

Mixed Emotions

        The heart is such a complex thing

      It pumps and beats like a finely tuned machine

      But unlike a machine it feels emotions

      That can carry you down into the deepest oceans

      Or carry you upwards full of love and devotions

      What will today bring I wonder

      What does my heart want to feel I ponder

      Do I think of you and dive down so deep

      To the d...
