I dont know how to stop crying

 

I don’t know how to stop crying

I’ve seen that girl you keep eyeing

I’ll be stood here admiring

Like the sun is shining

I can’t help enquiring

Who is she?

 

Does she have the key?

Does she climb a tree

And sing passionately?

I can set you free

I dream of you kissing me

 

With wishes for happiness

And no covid stress

 

A dream is powerful

A dream is hope

 

My sweet,sweet friend

I will smile until this ends

Red fields,red tears

Poppies come out every year

 

I carry love just for you

In every verse

I share this sonnet

This is my first

 

The olive branch and the dove

Every card is signed with love

A little magic from God above

 

Every morning you wake up

Always beautiful

You are luminal

 

Smile at me with the rising sun

I know that you are the one I finally won

 

‘Your love wraps me in peace’-Imran Islam

 

To see you rise and set

‘You have the sun

Give me a gleam

You have the moon

Give me a beam’-Imran Islam

 

A boat of joy

A bowl of lemons

Thanks to cupid

Sitting on the washing line

 

Please be kind and a little wild

Bring me a peace and be by my side

Sure as the sun

Writing for the moon

 

Romantic,passionate love

To the sky above

To an open bud

The kind that makes you feel good

The smelling of burning wood

 

Vineyard of bliss

The perfect wine list

I make a wish

Waiting for a kiss

 

The Message birds

Travelling to Australia

For one cool wave

Gotta be brave

Find some gold in a cave

And a beautiful mermaid

 

Your arms,your hands

Walking on the sands

Tropical islands

 

Back at work

Please don’t make it hurt

 

A picture I love

A pool of tears flowing down the rock

A moment above

My heart is unlocked

 

Pancake Tuesday

Sugar and lemon or Ice cream heaven?!

 

When will the shops open?

I need to buy some clothes

I just spend my time,moping,hoping

Covid will come ‘to a close’

 

It would be great to go for a coffee

My hair is long and mopey!

 

I miss driving my car

Sitting back and watching the stars

With my sweetheart

 

I miss that feeling of freedom

Enjoying every season

Taking the top of the car ceiling

And then putting the heaters on when it’s freezing

Your strength

Feeling like a dead battery inside

I didn’t get the beauty prize

I can’t believe my size

I want to be awake for every sunrise

I want to meet someone that is wise

And listens to my cries

 

Better,smarter,kinder,softer,prettier

I look through the magazine

It is my dream that we all have higher self-esteem

 

A sweet undress

I feel so blessed

Thinking of you

I sit here at my computer desk

 

Last night

The act of completion

Making love

By the fire and its burning wood

On a sheepskin rug

 

Silent as an Owl

I’ve travelled so many miles

I’ve made so many smiles

Out in the wild

Silent as an Owl

 

We are a valley of seeds

Looking at George

Surrounded by the light of star

Our little one playing with his car

I keep trying to teach him to say Lisa!

Sing a verse of twinkle,twinkle and Baa Baa!

Let’s work as a team

 

Language of love

 

Valentine

 

When I am with you

You make me smile

You give me your hand and help me climb

The stars are aligned

You are sweet and kind

 

That bird in the garden is a sign

It feels like Once Upon a Time

I am writing you this silly rhyme

 

Here is a rose for your love

You are a magical dove

Here is a card and a teddy bear

What would you like me to wear?

In this romantic air

Kiss me ,kiss me there

 

Put your fingers through my hair

Whisper somethings in my ear

The elegance of love

 

By the sounding sea

It will always be

 

Sat on the sands

Our only plans

Is a dip in the sea

And an ice lolly!

 

To ride on a wave

Climb into a cave

And sunbathe!

 

‘To see the peach-bloom

In evening skies’-Coventry Patmore

 

A life on the waves

The surfing craze

 

Would your heart pour?

If I didn’t get back my core?

Would your heart pour?

If someone threw me to the floor?

Would your heart pour?

 

Would your heart pour?

If I was called out to war?

 

Would your heart pour?

Would your heart pour?

Would you want more?

 

I’m walking on the beach

Looking for seashells to keep

 

Flowers at the doorstep

Couldn’t be more perfect

A kiss on the neck

 

A Himalayan trek

And a honey bed

 

Life in the hands of the eternal

The unique one

A life without sparkles

Please lead me out of the darkness

Please be heartful

They won’t be able to top us!

 

The weight loss journey

 

The melody of you

Everything you do

Your heart is true

Your eyes,a blue hue

There's Christmas sweets

 

There’s Christmas sweets,

It’s been four weeks

I need to get up on my feet

I still haven’t used my fit bit

But my eyes are lit

 

An audience of shining diamonds

My heart is found

That beautiful sound

 

I am a writer,a fighter

I want to understand

Was this God’s plan?

I want to throw a boomerang

 

Waves rise and fall

 

I want to meet him in a library

I want to meet him on a stormy sea

I want to meet him picking strawberries

I want to meet him,passionately

I want to meet him and kiss

To take a risk,hold me sweetly

I listened to every story you told

You used to take me out for some sweets

Help me put my shoes on my feet

Let me ride in the front seat

Let me be asleep forever’-Anon

An open door

On the dancefloor

At night we are sitting at a campfire

Love and desire

By day,the eye of the tiger

Every night

Lots of places to eat and drink

Or just a special place

Spiritual nutrients of the Bible

Helping us,survival

 

Music and chatter

A back packer

 

Until you reach your dream

Follow the diamonds on the stream

Enjoy your ice cream

Under the sun,a gleam

 

Springtime sky

Again I am eye bright

The daffodils are growing

I’ve dug out my kite,

And my bike!

 

Lightened by a prayer

Sweet hour of prayer

Love You More

‘Do I love you

To the moon and back?

No I love you

More than that

I love you to the desert sands

The mountains,stars

The planets and

I love you to the deepest sea

And deeper still

Through history

Before beyond I love you then

I love you now

I’ll love you when

The Sun’s gone out

The moon’s gone home

And all the stars are fully grown

When I no longer say these words

I’ll give them to the wind,the birds

So that they will still be heard

I love you’-James Carter

Some of us are using our imagination

Supporting the NHS as a nation

Your tier depends on your location

Is everyone feeling the temptation?

 

We just need to be patient

Wait out turn for a vaccination
