Becoming Summer

The weather is cold

 the snow just gone

The sun is bright 

but its the wind bite

The winter jasmine is having its last fling

The snowdrops have awakened 

Tulips are raising there heads.

The daffodils are growing by the inch

Summer is coming slow but surely

The night is cold the sky so clear

The days are warmer

 but still top coat weather

So here to the day jack frost goes bye bye

The day the sun takes off his hat 

The day that the tops come off

The day that goodbye says  woolly pully

Slow Spring

As the days draw out

The weather should be warm

Spring should be here

But as the days draw out

The weather gets cold

The snow floats gently floats from ths sky

The rivers freeze and the water ceases

Spring should be here

The daffodils growing

But it is cold and still snowing

The snow stops the rain starts

River swell brooks babble

The sun tries but to no avail

Spring will come but when

Is just the cycle

Is mother nature having a laugh

or is it just that

We only remember good 

And forget  the bad.

 

The Seasons Wait

The wind blows swiftly
The leaves fall quick
The fox runs fast
Autumn is here at last 

The starlings fly away
The geese get fat

White horses run over the rising sea
The rain comes down hard and fast

The leaves are gone
The snow is here
The coal is burning
The winter is here

Its mid winter now

Christmas at Last

Time for presents

Stork

The Stork Flies 

The Stork Flew
Over the fields and countryside 
To the city
He did go
Always looking down

His Catch was heavy
Weighing him down
Onwards to his destination
On heavy wings he did fly

There’s his place to go
Down he swooped
Quietly he went
Back to the sky he did soar
Lighter by far

Awake she came
A sound she could hear

The sound of a beautiful baby 

 

Death of A Box

Death of a Box

At first there was the black screen

The black screen of Death

Next came the blue screen

The blue screen of death

Death has now died

No black screen

No blue screen

 

The moment lives on

Messages after message

of windows whine.

From the god of the box

Comes an update

 death  is dead

The Groom

As I stand at the alter
My knees Knocking
My head soar
I think to myself
What have I done
What am I doing

Will she love me always
and forever
Will i be able to take care of her
What will the boys think

She’s so beautiful
She’s so sweet
I am sure she loves me

As the vicar say do you take this women
I blurt out I DO
She smiles at me
I win Hands down
Till death us do Part

The Bride

As I stand at the alter
My belly all of a flutter
My legs like jelly
I begin to think

Will he always love me
Will he care when I am old and grey
Will he cherish me when I am ill and frail
Of cause he will

He is so sweat
He is so kind
He loves me dearly
He is that best friend of mine

Do you take this man to be
You wedded husband.
He turns to me and smiles
My doubts subside
I do I cry

I now pronounce you man and wife
The vicar cried
I am now his wife
To have and to Hold
for Life

70

The first ten went quick
so fast I can not remember them
The next ten years went quicker still
With help from girls and booze

Ten years later and the chains are on
no more girls less booze.
Better meals and comfy cushions
 

At thirty plus its family time
Crying girls and sulky boys
No holidays abroad just
rain shores

Ten years later
It’s Middle edge spread
and over the hill
The young man’s gone
grey hairs appear
Times a slowing.

Ten more years
I think I am getting old
The musics rubbish
the cloths are old.
The coppers are young
the vicars old.

Ten more years and retirements due
Grand kids come then they go.
I start to remember when I was young
but I still can not remember when I was ten.

Ten more years have gone
Time to relax
The job is done
No more sulking nor more crying
The gran kids have gone
OH NO Great grand kids.
Benidorm here I Come

Sea Horses

The sea spray bounced upon the sandy shore
dribbling lightly down the sand.
Little breakers beat upon the shore
the sun goes down the moon comes up
glistening on the shore.

The tide does turn.
The wind does change.
The sea does swell.

The sea now breaks against the shore
The crest of waves like white horses
racing to the shore.
The wind rises the water races.
Deep below the ground gives way

Up surges the water in a fit of rage
The waves grow stronger
against the sea wall
The horses become stallions
raging against the sea wall.

Might hooves doth batter the sea wall
High and higher they kick
Over the top of the wall the horses jump
fighting to be free.

Dawn arrives the moon settles
The wind still blows and the sea withdraws
The horse still kicking go out to sea
Another night and we will be free.

Is she beautifully of course she is

The sun rose and filled the room
My  eyes slowly opened
As I rubbed the sleep from my eyes
I look to my right to see my love
Hair all disheveled Make up gone
Is she beautifully of course she is

I spend the day doing things that i do
I am called for dinner and their she is
Flour on her face pinie on
A smile on her face
Is she beautifully of course she is.

The day wears on  all jobs done
The telly is on tea is severed
Steaming tea and hot bread
no make up yet  but all the same
Is she beautifully of course she is.

Out for the night down the pub
Shes on G and T its a  Pint for me
Around the pub are may women
Some are plain some beautiful
But are they as beautiful As my love
of course not  the question is
Is she beautifully of course she is.

Back from the pub
The day is over once again
A cup of tea and off to bed
I snuggle down beside my love
the make up gone the nightie on
again i reflect
Is she beautifully of course she is.

She is my love and  I love her true
She is my soul mate and i love her do
When we are old I will love her still
Is she beautifully of course she is

I Sit And Wait

I sit here and wait
Thinking of now and then
My mind begins to wander
To the days of my youth

I remember when things where simple
Rules were made and broken
Toys where simple and fun
Days out where long and sunny

I remember when things where fun
We had parties every week
biscuits and milk with chocolate too.
Hours in the park, hide and seek
Kiss chase and rugby too

I remember those teenage years
Spotty faces ganging legs.
awkward moments, silly ones too
My first kiss and other things too
Leaving school starting work
Money in my pocket the booze too

I remember my partner and kids
Those happy days of fun
Off to the seaside sand and sea
Caravan and tent reminds me of them
Birthdays and anniversary all them too
One to many but what can you do

I remember one  two many
My partner was oh such fun
We had a love beyond compare
Now I wait in utter despair.

Unknown rose

IT is the picture of an English rose

It’s skin as fine as a silk

The  smell so fragrant and bright

what is that rose.

I know not her name, that rose

She is so fine and bright

Her flesh is silk beyond compare

How long before,

she becomes withered and dry

I could bear to see her nought but fair

I captured her image so she could not fade and die

I love that rose so sweet and pretty

Now she’s all mine

Knights and Goblins

The sky was grey and the air thin
The wind in the mountains blow softly
The eagle screeched the fox barked
The goblins are in town

Goblins fearful creatures
Full of woe
Gnarled faces broken minds
No human friends can they keep
Summoned by spells,rites and rituals
To do thy evil biding.

Step forth the knight
A faithful sword a trusty mace.
A bag of tricks and a hearty prayer
Slash and hammer
Slash and Hammer

The titanic struggle between
Good and evil goes on.
Knights vs Goblin
Night after night
The fight goes on

Goblin forge to the fore
Humans lose the ground
Men and goblins die
The darkness grows
The light fades.

When all hope is  lost.
A knight strikes a blow
hope is renewed.
The light glows.

The light is infectious
growing with each passing day
The darkness recedes.
The knights grow stronger
The Goblins weaker
Evil is banished.

But their lurking
Around every corner
Evil waits.
Waits for a turn
in the tide of humanity.

Feeding Time

The darkness was deep tinged with deep red
The air was heavy and hot
The heat was hot beyond compare
Desolate and dark night and day

Shape moved about without reason
Screams punctured the air
Deep laughter followed
More screams more laughter

A dark shape forms out of the hot rock
Red faced Black winged
Smoke rose from its body
All around creatures cowered

Satan arose.
His domain shook as he roared
more souls let the feast begin
A cheer from his subjects
as the new dead where fed the evil of
Hell

Welcome

The light shines Bright and clear
the people smile and laugh
The air is clean and pure
The sun never  sets
people never need to rest.

People move around
meet and greet
Talk and laugh
Talk and laugh
A being comes forward
Bright and clear
Tall yet small
Powerful but humble

The being spoken
Soft gentle and quiet
All around heard and smiled
Let us welcome are new friends to
Heaven.

No Where

Looking down all is dark and red
Looking up is bright and clear
There is no dark or no light
Just a mist on nothing

Souls float around
Up and down to no where
no one speaks
no one See’s

No one comes
No one cares
the place is silent
no noise at all
there is nothing in
Purgatory
