Secretly

Secretly

Secretly we kissed in rainbow mist

Our love was mountain strong

Secretly we missed and made a wish

As the birds flew over and sung

Touching with water

My own rainbow

Beauty sleeping

I am weeping

It’s a nightmare world

Sing it loud

Sing it long

It’s our song

Mountain strong

Rivers

We are rivers leading out to sea

Men of the coal mine

Dirty

Sexy

Brave

I love a hero

But no-one comes

I look at my photo

And remember my wounds

I open my eyes,still the same size

To find love

I know I should be dressing-up

Doing my hair and my make-up

I know I should be eating right

I think I have forgotten how to put up a fight

A Dear Job

You wake up in the morning with nothing to love

You go on the computer and direct gov

You go to the library and give your CV to the pub

16 hours would be enough

Or maybe in retail, a shop of rosebuds

It’s really hard to keep the hope

There’s 100 people tugging on the other side of the rope

It doesn’t matter how much TV

Or how many people you see

Unemployed is not enjoyed

I would rather be a busy bee

Words,music,everything arty

Where do you go?

Counting raindrops

Counting forget-me-nots

Counting tablets and pamphlets

Counting how many times you

Have not travelled the planet

I’ve been looking for velvets and satin

Dreaming that romance will happen

Let’s

Let’s hold hands and search for rocks

Let’s look at the sea and watch the yachts

Let’s draw our names in the sand

Hide in a beach hut

Get freckles in the sun and go barefoot

Let’s hold hands on the park

Run on the grass and share our hearts

Let’s go on the swings and

Catch each other on the bottom of the slide

Let’s fly like we have wings

And go on a train ride

Let’s hold hands under the table at school

Let’s have kisses in the gym changing room

Let’s get caught talking and laughing in class

You are my first love and my last

Personify’s Love

My mum personify’s love

Every meal she makes is perfect grub

Every pot she washes is in fairy liquid suds

Every time she cleans and the hovers the house,

It look’s so good!!!

I really should help my mum

Tidy my room and hover the crumbs

I really should give her flowers

For sitting with me and making towers

For every homemade birthday cake

For being my best mate

I truly thank you mum

When I am sick you make me feel

Better like magic

When I am cold and tired

You turn on the fire

You personify love

Like the water and sunshine above

Mysterious inland lake

There is flooding everywhere,

Which road should we take?

Millpond

Bodies floating like dead water flowers

Because they could only be there in four hours

We all know there were not enough boats

First class wore top hats and coats

‘The Other’s’ freezed to death and didn’t port

I wonder how bright the stars were that night

Struggling to breath in the frostbite

Bodies fighting,then bodies still

The Millpond

If the world was going to end

If Aliens were more than pretend

If a meteor was about to hit

If the ocean got high and hit you

Like a kick

A longing of pink ebb

White feathers falling like snow

Forming pillows below

Till I end my song

Until someone does respond

Sink into the seats and beats

You light up the dinner table

You light up the church and Gods Angels

You light up the bedroom

So romantic, tantric

You light up my prayers

A crowd in my head

Thinking of song words and bread

A Prayer

A prayer for January

Let’s worship the strawberry

December was spent eating too much chocolate

And being too lazy

I have joined the gym,but

I don’t like putting leftovers in the bin!

If I exercise and improve my time

Can I have a bottle of wine?

Is your new years resolution to try something new?

How about a ‘different’ cake or look forward to

Easter with mini eggs!

A prayer for February

On no,I haven’t got a date,it’s Valentines day in three weeks

And I’m foolishly waiting for fate

Maybe a dove will deliver a message or

A wax sealed letter will come through the door and

Invite me to explore?!

A prayer for March

The golden eggs from Willy Wonka

Haribo sweets and hot cross buns.

I really should have signed up for that race and get a sponsor, raise some funds

But I do love spring flowers,daffodils and blossoms

Time for spring cleaning and fragrance

To keep you dreaming

A prayer for April

And not too many showers.

A beautiful cut of tender lamb,we

Need a holiday let’s make a plan

A trip to the park on our bikes,

Fishing in the streams and flying our kites.

A ride on the train,ice cream and flakes

A prayer for May

Family holidays ‘in the lovely rays’.

A clotted cream and jam cream tea.

Going further and further into the sea.

Playing with a beach ball,jumping waves

And a front crawl

A prayer for June

A summer nightclub and that good all dance tune

Parties at Stone Henge under the moon,

On a beach at sunset sat on sand dunes.

Ice pops on the way home from school

Tying our shirts around our waists,looking cool

A prayer for July

Getting the hosepipe out in hot piping weather

Running around laughing and chuckling together

Dipping out toes in a paddling pool

Eating lollies and ice cubes

A prayer for August

A time for Festivals,

Famous musicians and new arrivals

That perfect song,that perfect time

Pitching up tents and a lager and lime

Dreaming of a campervan,

Hippy clothes and making love,

Travelling hearts and doing good

A prayer for September

Let’s light the ember

The leaves are brown

And the conkers are falling to the ground

The fire is burning and the children are learning

Starting school for the first time,

Or walking to school alone for the first time,

It’s a brave time

There’s a que for the water fountain

There’s a que for school dinners

My message is ‘you are all winners’

A prayer for October

For those who trick or treat,

Dress up and have fun,get high on sweets

The toy adverts have begun,

It ain’t Christmas yet

But we love a Christmas song

Write your letters to Santa Claus,

Be good girls and boys and do your chores,

There are people in poverty and wars,

Send them a shoe box of gifts and who knows

A prayer for November

Bonfire night.May it not be too muddy on Worden Park

May the fireworks and fairground rides light up the dark

Treacle toffee and hot dogs,a super display and

Now we have fog. Sparklers?I look for the eyes

A prayer for December

The seasonal isle in the supermarket

The season begins

Chocolate reindeer,fruit and nuts,

Tins of biscuits,feeling stuffed!

May there be snow,a pure snow,

A crunchy pure white snow with a hand to hold

Mountain tops

A rainbow of dew drops

Watching the sunshine on golden crops

Walking in the rain round the shops

All hurdled together at the bus stop

Returning home to dirty pots!

The missing shoe……

…………………Oh,I found you!

Freshly fallen snow

You spend a moment just looking at it

The Tunnel

The Tunnel

It was the start of a tunnel
I had his hand to hold
An unknown deep wet tunnel
Underground,I wondered if we would find gold

I wasn’t looking for the holy grail
Or the book of life or death
Maybe I would find some carvings
And a glowing light ahead

There was a mystery of bones and pottery
You could almost smell the activity
Ghosts of prisoners in secret cells
Ghosts of priests in sanctuary ringing church bells

I wondered if there was a tunnel
From England to all over the world
First,I would go to Paris
Smell the wine and cheese from below

Dreams of fresh bread,crossiants,yogart
Sitting in the park
Visiting galleries of modern and classical art

I would go to Rome
The smell of pizza and gelato
Bigger and better than home
I would find a secret opening
In the Vatican City
Walk around and pray,the air so soft
The angels so pretty

Could there be a tunnel to Australia?
Could there be a shuttle to the land of sunny air?
The smell of barbecues and burning wood
Bouncing kangaroos,collecting kindling like
Red riding hood

Maybe we could go the beach
Do some surfing and caving in all heats
Go to a zoo and see koala bears
Take photographs of travellers from all over

We could go to Tasmania
See a Tasmanian devil,a possum,a bird
Go walking on Wellington Mountain
Look at the stars and do some counting

Where would we go next?
Back through the tunnel to Hong Kong
See beautiful buildings and live like we are young
Eat sweet and sour and look on markets
For satin and yarn

We would find a black hole
And find the world of the blue sunset
Sit there and watch,the stars like purple dots
Fields of pink that make your whole body sink
Martians with really white teeth
Smiling at you,how lovely,how sweet!!!

My faith is tested

My faith is tested
‘Voices cry in the trees’-Elizabeth Coatsworth

You are my lobster
I am your mermaid

Dreaming of a travelling offer
Where the wind is softer

The words I choose
To share my news

Baby pool
Baby lily pool

Seduce me with a massage
Kiss me on the neck
Take me down the passageway
Swear you will protect

The possibility
And the source of imagery

‘A gentle relationship,
Kissing and holding hands and
Sleeping side by side’-Lavinia Greenlaw

I crave music
The house has a constant beat

Stars orbiting around you

Feminine is a poem,
Differently

The greatest act of love
Is making a tape for someone

Discovering and connecting
I miss electricity

Raincoat pocket
I find a family locket

Are they watching?
Should I be locking my hair?
Are they dreams,dark forces or reality?

To lay in your arms and listen to music

‘I thought of my panick attacks which were also
Electrical,a long moment of shock’-Lavinia Greenlaw

‘And the wave sings because it is moving’-Philip Larkin

Does the sky know you and I?
Are we sat on a shooting star
And ready to fly?
A piano lullaby

Suddenly the lights turned pink

Your amazing way
We take off to a sunny day

I dreamed we were on a beach
Unpacking sandwiches and quiche!!

Bay bliss
A bay kiss
Sweet love bay
It’s a warm and shiny day

I want to draw a stream
Watch your face beam
Invite you to dream

Everywhere you go
There will be a great great glow

Winter

When its raining and running down the window
And the soul is just warm
Your reading a book on your kindle
While outside there is a storm

I picture a lighthouse
And it’s ray on the sea
Is it searching for you and me?

When you fall in love
Like an open dove
And he keeps you warm
Like a hat on a mug
And lights up everything good
Stars of knowth

Goddess tone

Trusting a meal
Out of my tortoiuse shell

It was Floods,not laughter

Beach velvet under my feet

The sweet hit of love
It feels like fate is smiling

You are the lily of the valley

It’s the new year
And I want to shed a tear
Will the heavens hear?
Will the winds help steer?

Waking up on New Years Day
Gonna find out if love will find a way
Your everything I care about,so say
Save me from the slay

Kiss me
Kiss me at the door
Kiss me on a pillow
Kiss me on the park,the beach
Kiss me under the rainbow
Kiss me under the stars
Kiss me by the fire
Kiss me by a sunset dream
Kiss me on a carousel
Kiss me on the dance floor
Kiss me at the back of the movies
Kiss me on the settee watching jelly
Kiss me on a picnic blanket

Just a little note
You are my little oat
You keep me going all daylong
You make me smile and feel so warm

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember’-Olivia Herdford

Waiting for birds and dream words

A galaxy in your eyes
I love to look up high

Loves the piano like flesh and blood

Sought our blisses
My true love hath my heart and I have his’-Sir Philip Sidney

Sunlight is the spread of heaven

The brook that flowed
I dipped my tiptoes

The velvet curtains on my cheek
The grass like summer velvet,velvet in the air

It’s a love story
You look adoringly
Do not go home with her
Please come home with me

Body of a gymnast?I was always picked last

Viking road
I looked for the language of a friend

Words of love
Coming down my street
Colours of love
When will we meet?

To sing,slim,stand up stage

A sweet love bay
It’s a warm and shiny day
On stage

Blossoms,I want to feel winged

Christmas alone
The birds have flown
To warmer weather
But when I see a robin
I see us being together

You are a nativity star
You are a manger
Taking care of Jesus
A very special star

When my eyes close
You take off my clothes
The candle glows
My heart is paused

Keep me warm in the night
Kiss me in glowing light

People who know pain
Yet glow in the rain

Swirling to the perfect lover

Flowers blooming oh,so fair’-Pansy Griffith

Baby names
Titania Aria
Bethany hazel

Bless me while I sleep
Love me for keeps
Kiss me goodnight as I
Dream of starlight
Fly with the angels in
Shiny delight
Let me drift into penguins
And happy endings

Today my heart is open
I still dream of the locomotion

Come and stay warm
With me in an igloo
Let’s put our hearts together
In this aerial weather

Anigloo
