Mindless Sheep

Mindless Sheep.

Looking across the turbulent river to the hilly greeny- brown bank.

Sheep grazing, unhindered by thoughts of existence.Just being..

Knowledge of Past and Future transitory.Only the present.

Death inevitable.The future a pleasant meal for hungry carnivores .

Their purpose in life achieved.Their sacrifices unacknowledged.

 

The duality of existence,.Life and deat...

Did I leave the heater on?(at the shop)

Did I  leave the heater on?( at the shop)

It's midnight, tossing and turning.

Did I forget to switch off the heater?

Deep breaths taken; no use..

Did I forget to switch off the heater.

A fire hazard.Shop in flames!

Did I forget to switch off the heater?

Can't remember. Can't think .

Have to get up.Get dressed.

Drive back to the shop.

Did I forget to switch off the hea...

The Place where I belong.

The dawn chorus.

Wrens,robins,doves,

Pigeons,crows magpies,

Sparrows and more.

All congregating in

My garden.The sight 

Fills me with joy.  The

Fresh morning air clears

My mind.Spring is on

Its' way The daffodils 

Are blooming.The 

Pansies are showing.

The bluebells are swaying.

Happiness, contentment.

In my warm kitchen

Making myself a black

Coffee....

Bouquet of Flowers

A loving gift of

Roses, Carnations,

Chrysanthemums 

And Lillies.

A rainbow bouquet,

A token of Love .

 

As time goes on,

The flowers begin

To wilt and fade.

The water changed daily

To ensure longevity.

A futile routine.

 

The day arrives.

Beyond saving .

No longer admired,

No longer erect,

No longer colourful, on

The cusp of being binned.

Sleeplessness

Sleeplessness, you have come 

To wake me up again.

Your long arms and fingers

Shaking me awake.

Large staring eyes with hooded

Lids, not blinking.

Why are you sleeping?

Talk to me about

Many things.I am lonely.

I need to communicate with you.

I am fearful, pessimistic,

Scared,critical.

You can make me feel better

Talk to me.

Reassuring me everything  will

Bored

Bored

When you get bored

What do you do?

Twiddle your thumbs,

Go to the loo.

Start munching

Without thinking.

Bottom numbing,

Fidgeting ,fumbling.

Magazine already read.

Is it time for bed?

Need some luck

Winning the lottery..

Should take up pottery

Classes at local college.

Feel like a bowl of porridge.

Can't think of anything to say.

Perhaps,I n...

My medication.

When my head feels like bursting

And my body hurts from

Life and Living .

I  think of  you  to lighten me.

When there is a lump in my

 Throat and a twinge in my heart.

I think of you and feel better.

The pearl  in the middle of my

Necklace..The golden ring  with

The amethyst stone.

I think of you and feel calm.

When I feel like crying and

There is a lump in my t...

I love to dance

I love to Dance..

Out again,dancing till late.

Doing my thing on the

Dance floor.

Northern soul.

A new venue every week.

As well as the familiar.

I shuffle  and slide..

I jump and glide.

The joy in my face,

The thrill of the dance.

Lost in the rhythm.

The songs stir my soul,

As the beat stirs my body .

At the end of the night,

With sweat running down
