Can you walk me home?

Can you walk me home?

Like were in a starlit Rome?

Have an ice cream cone

Stop feeling alone

Let’s put palm to palm

Can you keep me safe in your arms?

Meet me at the open barn

Glory on the barn!!!

The scent of peaches

The spirit of the place

Kodak moment

A special understanding

The dream of a poem

Something about you is lost

I hold out my hand

The bridge of years

A mountaineer

To test and find yourself

The heart of love is magical in mist

A gorgeous palm

I am totally crushed

No one cares I’m scared

Guess I’m not in the friend zone

Sometimes I think too much

I wish I could let go

               

Everyone needs

Everyone needs

A hospitable ray

A sweet smiling village

Just beginning to dazzle and then I died

He had prefect knowledge

She had silken beginnings

The touch of lips

Made everything glow

Van Gough

‘Starry Night’

Round and round

The sky is alive

The stars are rippling and taking a dive

The village below

Is under of flow of colour

The moon never has looked fuller

Can I go to Mars and see a blue sunset?

Can I find an alien and keep him as a pet?

Can I teach him how to express?

Invite him as our guest?

Can I pick a cluster of stars

Can my dream come true and drive flying cars?

Can we go around the moon?

And write a signature tune?

The Cloud Appreciation Society!!

My heart floats around you

Bionic kidney!Yes!Yes!Yes!

As a child I searched for hidden lands,secret springs,

A kiss in the cosy shed

The coloured quartz

Still a mystery

A well cherished dream scattered on summits

Solace out of the blue ocean

Over eating

Still in the buffeting breeze

Beyond the mountains

God’s love is so great

A mirage and a mockery

‘Blossomy hair’-William Carlos Williams

The crowded opera

Don’t get the birthday blues

You can be happy if you choose

Everything happens for a reason

So just stop grieving!

Birthdays

Surfing waves

Searching caves

Wake up in the morning

Do a little drawing

Have a bowl of Weetobix

Maybe breaky biscuits

Make some shapes with play-doh

Or go outside with a football

Learn your letters

Learn your words

Carry round your teddy bears

Can you count 1-10? Can you make a little den?

Can you pick a flower?

Can you pick a stick?

Can you run around the garden and

Play in the sandpit?

Would you like to go to the park?

Take the bikes and have a happy heart?

Would you like an ice pop?

Have a game of hopscotch?

Or maybe we could play shop

Let’s see a little smile

I have chocolate!

A harmonious balance

In the light of intellect

I feel like some banished fairy

Snowdrops on the lea

Alone in my room

Can I please have oats and the moon?

I believe in

A man opening the door

Holding hands on the shore

Protecting me from a scorpions claw

Protecting me from a great whites jaw

I don’t want this to feel like war

Or be together like it’s some big chore

Wound you catch me if I fell to the floor?

Would our love always pour?

Despite our flaws?

Despite our scores?

Would you follow me ,despite my clothes?

Would you bring me a red rose?

Help me see the difference between friends and foes?

Would you teach me the stars and look at them glow?

Would you watch a film on the back row?

Kiss me in passion,let your hands go low?

Or just turn up in your banger car

Steal some change from the kitchen jar!

Take me to an ice cream parlour?

Can I get your whole attention?

Can I feel your affection?

Your arms around me for protection?

My next date

Do I open up the flood gates?

Will he think I have too much on my plate?

Will there be something we can create?

Can we go out and explore?

I want to discover a little bit more

Even if my feet are sore

I want to hear the waves roar

I wanna hear the birds calling

I want to be happy

Our longing eyes in open air

He offers a softer charm

 But I am weary,weary of my weight

The evening air and a gorgeous sunset

It pumps to my eyes and spills

Golden weather

Golden weather

Far away glitter

With an English psalm

I am eyeing him

Do I have the pipes?

Do I have the likes?

Is my heart ready and ripe?

Sex on a ship deck

Sex on a jumbo jet

Sex in a text

I haven’t forgotten about sex

Or being kissed on my neck

I don’t care about ab’s and pec’s or being ‘perfect’

Just someone that can make me wet

The snog

In the disco fog

The snog

By the fire log

No need for dialogue

I feel like the underdog

God,

Make it stop

It’s feels like I’m falling,a paradrop

I’m living for sweets,old books,clothes shops

I need true love

Make it stop

If your alone and love my bones

Tell me now and take me home

The lights are hurting my eyes

‘Awful thoughts and a trembling hand’-Mary,Lady Chudleigh

A fountain of creativity

With a hunger for affection

The season and the scene

Sorrowful shore

A period of insanity

A touch of fire

To all that is good

The most important part in my heart

‘An aurora soft-pouring’-Arthur Hugh Clough

‘To kindle the embers’-Arthur Hugh Clough

I say a prayer

I say a prayer to Jesus Christ

But I ned up wanting to go home,fast

I need to be

Alive with energy and wonderful memories

But I am dead without hope and I can

Hear the cemetery

Whatever the weather may be

I will love you everly

A magic pebble path

Every drop of you

You are my morning dew

Let’s land in soft tissue

A Capulet and Montague

Do you and I have to cry?

Can you and I have a try?

I look at you and I know why

You are the love in my eyes

Life be kind

I have lost my mind

I am running a race and I am being timed

I am trying to climb

All those years that I pinned

But we were not in God’s design

I feel like a cold field mouse

Looking for a house

Every home I look at doesn’t fit

Full of wood louse

Is it love?

A heart throb?

They don’t accept me

Crazy eating

They really don’t care if I’m bleeding

I just spend my life reading

Hopefully I will plant some seedling

I open the door

I want to explore

Collect all the stars

Nothing more

The Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro

Peace and the piano

What am I going through?

Even my tears are blue

Cartoon dancing heart

Looking for a wishing well

Wishing that my name is Belle

I think that I have gone to hell

When something happens and you cannot tell

But you don’t love me too

You do not want to woe

I’m trying to impress you playing pool

I am trying to shine

You are so cool

Love

I always look like a fool

They have no time in their schedule

Or maybe their girlfriend is out of town

And then they decide we are bound

I want to kiss you in disco lights

I want you to rescue me from a fight

I need to hold on to you the whole of the night

School

Some of them are playing football

Others holding hands

Some of them are smoking

Talking about the latest bands

I just want him to kiss me

I’m working on my tan

I was walking into a gang

I was walking into a gang with trust

Hoping there could be an us

I need life to be just,feel loved

You turn everything sweet

Everything Is alive and has a beat

Rainbow door to child’s room/under the stairs

Natural song

Horrible thoughts

I just want to be quiet on a rowboat

My heart is opening with you

Poem

Reading an Onion

(Carol Ann Duffy)

Writing an onion

Boy you make me cry

My eyes are drunken

I just want to know why?

Sleepless night

We had a fight

Do you think it’s right

We live so far apart

Your flying like a kite

Your eyes are all alight

But your going out of sight

I want to take that flight

Wine happy

Dessert doesn’t work

Northern lights like someone is touching the sky

I wish I could live in your eyes

You mean more than the sunrise

‘Technologies of ecstasy’-Frank Bidart

Details

I feel like there’s a hundred balloons lifting up my heart

I feel like I am a survivor of Noah’s ark

I feel like there is a thousand crystals

Shining in the pond

I feel like I could write a love song

But I fear you may be a a shark

I do fear you’ll lock me in the dark

Or runaway when you see my marks

‘My art is my revenge’-Frank Bidart

‘The mouth of the clouds’-April Bernard

‘I want to touch his eyes’-April Bernard

Why do I feel like I have a poltergeist?

I walk into the pub and I can feel flying glass

I can't sleep

I can’t sleep peacefully

I tearfully close my eyes

I just wish,I wish

I could catch a sunrise

All words ending in Ful

Ecstasies that melt

And the loyal hand of a friend

‘Fears are born of fatique and loneliness’-Max Ehrmann

Mist,light,calm,besotted

‘Sapphire berg’-Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

‘I see the coloured lilacs flame’-Tom Lovatt-Williams

Grandma

Red hair and freckles

A silky lawn and rose petals

A little bird house for bluetits to settle

Grandma’s house was bright and special

When Grandma got out the opal fruits

We skated away on our roller boots

When it was hot we changed into out swimsuits

And hid from the hosepipe!

You gave me a book about love

And now you are caring for us from above

Owl coming through

If you land on my arm

I will give you food

Your wingspan fills my heart

In my heart like a dart

The East look like they are dancing when they fight

Out of my body

I want to watch you,rock you

Waiting,aching,fainting,dating,creating

Gaze on me

Save me

My dream day

You wake me with kisses

Instead of being busy

You light me up

And tell me you miss me

I know that it is risky

But I give you the gift of my heart

Is it sunny over there?

Can you hear my little pray?

I am climbing every stair

Breathing in the cold air

You are made of strong stuff

I hope that I am brave enough

The wind is really sharp and tough

I’m running out of encouraging looks

I imagine the pain flowing out of my body

The Angels all around me

Fond of you

The tongue for you

I want to be alone with you

Choc alert!!!

What am I going to do?

These clothes have the room for two

I’m hoping to be woed

With lot’s and lot’s of gooood!

The right words

The type that can repair

Your hands are climbing up my long hair

And I am happy you are there

You make me

You make me fly like a firework

Your face,your eyes,

I am going to hurt

I am going to attempt to surf

Because you give me self-worth

The stars are out

The right words come out of your mouth

Planet earth and

Red turf!!

Tears are building

That’s how I’m feeling

No one to talk to

I have stopped believing

Loneliness has got me bleeding

I can’t spend all my life reading

I wish I was out there leading

My heart is needing you

I need to solve my problems

I want to write a love song

An anthem that stands strong

Words that were with me all along

I diet I can stay on

A friend that can help me fight on

A love that can help me write on

A life that makes me want to live on

Depression

When a drop of rain feels like the ocean

When if lands on you it feels like an explosion

My heart is on full beam

I close my eyes and grow closer to the gleam

We hold hands and walk over the rocks in the stream

Pretty flowers make the scene

Tears filling craters

After all the haters

Surrounded by fakers

I need to find my maker

I should give you an award

All those lies

I thought I had scored

And I hung on to your hold

Across the table

Sits an Angel

There’s a rainbow in the sky

You are so special like a child with a pebble

Let’s share everything

It’s in your eyes

Letter to Grandma

Waiting

I look at the stars

I remember being in your arms

I remember the fire keeping us warm

I remember the birds singing at dawn

Running barefoot on the lawn

Queing up for an ice cream

Everyone saying haven’t you grown!!

A distant sea

And I fell instantly

Waiting for a gentle kiss

Smiles

Smiles and then your miles away

I think of you for a while

Waiting

I wanna pen a song

To you I must sing along

I would say it if I was strong

But I don’t want to get it wrong

Did you think of me?

Did you talk about me affection?

Did you hold me in your dreams?

Did you splash the water when we walked in the streams?

How do I get over this?

When all I want to do is steal your kiss

I know that there is a risk

But my heart is sore

You are tearfully missed

I like snowdrops and a soothing ocean

You are the best,I want to make a nest

I want to take rest in your  arms

Smiling when you are arriving

Crying when you are flying away

Desiring when your confiding

Please don’t leave me today

I feel like I am dying

There is no love or hiring

I am inside and I’m hiding

Help me Lord,I pray

Call me a princess

Find me the right dress

I know that I am blessed to be with you

Your heart is the largest

I wait for your caress

That’s why I must express

My love for you

I want to go by your address

I want to impress

I’m little obsessed with you

I wish there was an Angel

Standing over my bed

Taking away the voices,

The choices in my head

My vocals are in some water

That needs to be tread

I love waking up to a sky that’s red

‘Fragrant dream and warm’-Lascelles Aber Cromble

‘The queen of air’-Anon

‘The naked word’-Wyndham Lewis

‘For the love of him I cannot sleep’-T.Sturge Moore

The Northern Lights

A palette of colour

A great and mysterious world

Supersweet

A heaven sigh

When I catch you in my dreams

When you rip away the sheets

When you raise my heartbeat

The search is over

I can love you for keeps

When the fire burns

And it’s your turn

His body is firm

His eyes have a yearn
