Sometimes I think

Sometimes I think blood everywhere

Would look better than four square walls

I wish I could be a butterfly be alive and pretty

For just one day

I would spend a week as a caterpillar

And then break free in glory

I wish I was a daisy standing tall

I wish I was a water lily

I wish I was a flying kite

I wish I was a penguin

Life is carried by the human light

‘The song arriving like silk and spice from Asia’-Linda Hogan

‘The sun through orange cloth’-Linda Hogan

A lost constellation

The cosmos grows older and colder

It’s the hardest blow

When everyone you know

Has hurt you

I think about poetry all the time

‘All of me pouring into a poem’-Linda Gregg

The scent of bay leaf

Sex and kissing at the same time

And a bottle of wine

Stones under water

Flicker in my eyes

Spirited and climbing the

Statue of Liberty

A fantasy of specialness

I sit and drink

Take me where truth abides

A Week in the life of a Dieter

I’ve just finished a lamb dinner

That lemon meringue won’t make me thinner!

Tomorrow?I have it straight in my head

I’ll have porridge in the morning or I’ll never wed,or

Attract a tiger in bed!

I want to be delighted when I step on the scales

I want to be excited when the ship sails

I’ll go to a spinning class and eat a banana

I’ll go for a swim and meet a buff charmer!

My tummy is in a riot,it won’t stay quiet

I need the courage to fight

Maybe I should join a slimming club,

Swap notes and unite

They say eat lots of fibre

I need to follow that beacon

Before I weaken and become a lyer

I want to be a lamplighter

A sole survivor

A healthy climber

A great igniter

But the sky is raining chocolate drops

I read a magazine and look for healthy swaps

I do enjoy a salad

When I eat a salad,

I can hear that love ballad

When I drink a smoothie

I can answer people truthfully

I have this picture in my head

As a child I took a Barbie to bed

I do not think that that is the answer

But I’m tired of feeling like a gigantor

To My Future Lover

Wrap me up with your love

Keep me warm and full as a bud

I promise I will eat fruit

My stretch marks are your alternative route,

A seafront route!

I promise I’ll keep my skin soft

Be helpful and kind,play your records from the loft

I promise to wear your favourite lipstick

Take care of you when you are sick

I promise to wear your favourite perfume

Be ever youthful like scene from Cocoon

I will be a loving Bride

Pass you your coat when it’s raining a gale outside

Kiss you before we go to sleep

Kiss you first thing in the morning

Write on post-its for you to keep

I promise,you wont find me boring

My notes held to my heart

When I wake will I hear that lark?

Wake up to the smell of chocolate tart?

Or a nice bowl of kelloggs Start

I hope I wake up happy

By some magic

I will fall in love,madly

A good pilgrim

I thought you were a good pilgrim

I thought we were palm and palm

I feel like I’m in a awful prism

And you have destroyed my song

A long tom

I need some sweet balm

My hands on a baby grand

You love the big band

My love was unrequited and

They were un-delighted

Fat and grease running through out my body

Filling up my bloodstream

The chips probably

Being single cry

Eating double why?

Downright tryer

A good lick

Heart Park Music Meadow

Strings of emotion

Love and lollies by the ocean

Sister sister brother

I love my dad,my nan, my mother

Oh,I was thinking of being your lover

I was thinking of coming closer

I was thinking of kissing you

I was thinking of listing you as my number one

My darling from

I was thinking of loving you

I was thinking of sobbing too

When we touched each other

We were in super colour

I was thinking climbing Everest

I was thinking of writing my name

But I know that now  I’ve found you

I do not need the fame

The window is open and there is a breeze

You can smell all the flowers but

 Be careful of the bees

Fill me up with love

So I can smile at the stars above

Hear the birdsong

Smell the rosebud

Lights ,lamps and guitar amps!

The words and the hands

Fair friend

He has kept me indoors

He has wintered me

Sallying off the pub?

Image Idea

Candles round a picnic blanket in the garden

At night

No-one wants to be with me

I have no company

College,Uni it wasn’t easy

No friends in my twenties

Six years of my thirties

How do I find a genuine friend

That doesn’t want to use me?

No one says lets go the pictures or the pub

The phone no longer rings

I imagine them at the club

Wish you would let me sing

Fresh as a flower in spring

Love is loyalty despite what you look like

Going round and round in a whirlpool

Every day and every year

I pray to God

Take away my fear

I pray terrorists will stop

People running terrified, just stop

I touched your letter

Roses and bluebells

Did I capture you?

England Beautiful

Flying over London

A swarm of glitter at night

People sitting to a candle lit dinner

Or walking the streets and covering up

They are a lonely winner

Driving to Somerset

We see bluebells and dear and a perfect sunset

The ocean is blue,the sky is purple

The sand is golden and we search for baby turtles

Driving down to Devon

This fudge is like an outing to heaven!

This ice cream is the pinnacle of life!

This cream tea melts in my mouth!

Pixilated image

The cook said

‘And it’s beautiful’

A chocolate ear

The Caterpillar watching Hollywood

I’m crawling up a green stalk

Soaking up a red rose

One day I will be purple

Flying into hands and

Fluttering out of a well

Clothed by a rainbow and piano

Sparkled by the sky and its stars

And the Northern Lights

My own little cave

I go deep down with a flashlight

Being aware of the coming waves

I hang up my blanket just right

The coming years

The coming waves

Snake Wind

The wind,a pouncing snake

Bites you in the cold

Pushes you back

A monumental fight

Heavily entwining and untwining through the grass

Holding everything in its clasp

Ripping silky flowers apart

Petals that once covered your heart

Tree tops ready to fly

Dripping with venom,

Crawling up high

The wind has a snake song that wakes you

With its lizard tongue

I lie in bed,in my safe place

Hearing it’s hiss,it’s deadly kiss

Venture outdoors at your peril

It’s bite will strike you like an adder

Dragging you down from the top of the ladder

A moving star dragging you like an magnet

Ribbon sky you make me cry

You put a shine into my eyes

On the beach me,myself ,I want to die

A creamy snack!

It was a painful obsession

And not a rock love

I stopped wearing power outfits

The earth is spinning

And good is always winning

All people are loving

Sometimes the walls are higher

Sometimes there’s even fire

But all people have the strength

To be tryer

The Snake Wind

My heart fills up

Beautiful, blessed

Write an Epic they say

But all I have is what happened yesterday

Or what my dream is for today

Feeling alone and eating too much

It’s becoming a pattern and I have no-one to touch

I feel like hiding in a rabbits hutch

Suffragette Cry

The Suffragette Cry

I do not have the vote

But if we work together

We could cross that moat

Enter the palace grounds

And make them listen,glisten

Afterall they call themselves Christian

Women deserve the vote

We clean,we sew, we wash

We run the household

Yet men think they are the boss

We have a voice and we need to sing

We will protest till you

Realise our dream

We bare your children

And they have a right to scream

Cherish the robin

And the rabbit hopping

Is there a poem on top of the roof?

Is there a poem in a babies tooth?

Is there a poem within the trees?

Is there a poem in cutting keys?

Life at night wood land

Enduring affection

The Badger,The Owl,The Red  Squirrel

The Red Deer,The Dormouse,The Rabbit all met up

Treasured space

A place I can be myself

The joy of house hunting

Your canopy of love

Endless thankfulness

Everything is beautiful

Everything is true

When I am with you

Love comes shining through

That special touch

Bathing in dewdrops

Deep,deep inside

I want to ride with life

Side with life

Ice cream is the pinnacle of life!

Cake the joy of existence!

To laugh with

To conquer the map with

To write with

Make love till light with

To celebrate life with

To write like the owl

Fresh linen towel

Can you stop this feeling

Can you stop this feeling

And begin the healing

And begin the healing

Every message,every touch

That’s what get’s me

What I love so much

The magic effect of exercising

You have so much energy

An orchid plant in the window

Will it live?I think so!

My eyes falling

Your hands roaring

Platonic checklist

All he wanted was the candy boat

Please,please

Jesus make it stop

So many years and growing fears

Streams of fat

I used to dream

Tears rolling down the slide

No grazing

No lazing

Start praising

Clouds,I cannot see

I need some visability

Sensuality and lust

A love,a fool

A crying pool

A love,a chance

But no dance
