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
