I started writing poems in the early eighties. Mostly on the spur of the moment, certain things triggered feelings and I had to write them down. I also write funny poems for friends and family, and verses for anniversaries, birthdays etc. They can be quite near the mark! I would love to write a book, and lyrics for a song one day.
Eight roses for eight years.
I sit and remember you with silent tears.
Thinking of those yesterdays.
All the memories.
...
My bucket list is very long.
I want to swim with whales, scuba dive, and one day write a song.
I want to ballroom dance, in an amazing dress.
Walk down that huge stairway and really impress.
...
When you were born my heart skipped a beat,
You were perfect from you're head to you're feet.
Those huge dark eyes, and silky skin.
A mass of hair,
...
How heavy can a heart feel.
How long can one go on before lying down.
How many tears can fall, tears that never dry.
How can a love so strong cause so much pain.
...
Such beauty I have ever seen.
Olive trees, and fields of green.
As far as the eye can see.
The soft caressing breeze.
