My Crumbling World

Dark times are a coming, the skies feel so heavy and black

Not sure that this will improve, but know that I have to try

People that I thought I could trust, and be there to support me

Just seem to leave me struck dumb and asking myself......why?

A wall of silence has appeared, where there was always comfort

A suspicious look, a steely stare, then backs turned towards me

I feel so alone,hurt and unwanted, no one there any more

All I want is to be loved again. What will happen? We shall see.

Cold darkness is closing in around me,suffercating me,

My candle of hope has been extinguished, no more light

Naked, unprotected, forlorn, don`t know where to turn to

Any point in carrying on, or should I just give up the fight?

All the love I felt for you, has disappeared from sight

The tender moments we shared together, are no more

The wonderful memories we had made as a couple

Just leave me saddened, lonely, bitter, upset and sore.

I had built my hopes around you, now they are destroyed

Life that has been completely ruined, not sure where to go

Rubble all about me, shattered dreams, there is no more

Trying to keep afloat here, though you sunk me very low.

I must pick myself up off the floor and carry on

Learn from the past, never forget it, but close the door

Hold my head up high, never ask... why?  but look forward

With my family and friends, I need never fear no more.

Dream Fears

I am nervous to sleep

what will enter my dream cocoon

I am scared of the unknown

but have to venture forward soon.

the reoccurring dream

haunts me through the night

pain and fear engulf me

fantasy comes, but is this right?

wondering if this will come true

praying peace will fall over me

hoping I will know deep sleep

harmony and love to set me free....

Over about 4 months, every night I`ve had a reoccurring nightmare

All I wanted was to have a peaceful rest but that was not to be..

Optimism

When the world gets you down

And you find you`ve lot your crown

Put a smile upon your face

Happiness will find this place.

When the house needs a clean

And no help can be seen

Put a smile upon your face

Everything will slot into place.

When there`s nothing to be eaten

Never fear that you`ve be beaten

Put a smile upon your face

Turn the chore into a race

When the children get you down

Don`t you dare put on a frown

Wear a smile upon your face

They`re wonderful and full of grace.

This was a poem that I wrote after a really hectic day, where it seemed nothing went right with chores and children. I found that with a little music and a great beat, we could turn all  the work into some fun and it didn`t seem so bad !!!!

No more...we`re through!!

Once was happiness and joy

When two people are together

All is fun and harmony

What ever happens, we will weather

Then something happens to our love

The atmosphere around us thickens

Where is the fun and harmony?

The love has gone, temper quickens

Oh...for the love to return

The peace to shine through again

The fun and harmony have gone

Nothing of our happiness regain

Retribution and fights are what`s left

Of our good relationship

Why did it have to end this way?

All you needed was companionship

The departing must happens now

Before I end up hating you

Please walk away from here today

I'm shouting at you now...We`re through!!!

Its so sad when a relationship ends in such bitterness !!

Can you ever have to many Albums?

Albums of all types to be found

Come on now feel the beat pound

Its great to listen to the sound.

Building up my collection fast

Knowing that it is here at last

Come now, lets give it a blast.

Shelf after shelf they`re there all neat

In easy reach, just turn on the heat

All ready to use, throb to the beat.

So many to choose from you know

I love to watch my collection grow

What ever is said, I love it so!!

Is there a limit to the amount I need?

Or am I just feeding my greed

All I know is, I want to succeed.

Well, can you have to many CD`s

People ask if it`s a disease?

But I love to have as many as I please!!

This poem was a challenge from my son, who loves his music so much.

he has a large collection of CD`s and I love to hear the music pounding out of his speakers.

the house is so quiet when he is away.

He wanted to know if you could have too many albums

I think the answer is..you can have as many as you please!!!

Nonsense of Life

When all is said and done

The final curtain`s down

Pick up your kit bag now

Come on and smile, don`t frown

The grass is greener there

At least that`s what I`m told

So I should go exploring

Travel before I`m too old

A pint full of goodness

To help me on my way

Humble pie to feed me

Thank you, is what I say

Have to spend to gain things

To give and not to ask

Your mission will start here

So please complete the task

To fight is to conquer

The battle can be won

So look on the bright side

Because life can be fun!!

This is a little nonsense poem using up some of the phrases I knew when I was younger 

They always make me laugh !

Internet Dating

This dating lark is a funny old one

You never know who you will talk to next

Tall ones, young ones, hairy ones or bald

You feel confused, overwhelmed, perplexed

You`re shopping in a supermarket

All the guys set out before you now

Reading their different profiles

Where do you start, someone please show me how

When you find someone you really like

You pluck up the courage to send them a wink

And if you are lucky, they will send you one back

You could find yourself going out for a drink

Emails exchanged, photos are sent

You never knew this could be the one

You`re on the path to a brand new life

Getting to know them could be such good fun!

This poem came about after my boys decided that I should try out the dating sites!!

I found it all so confusing and they just found it all so funny!!

Sanctuary

Sanctuary is safety

Whether from people or mind

Go and close the door after you

Leave all of your troubles behind

Peacefulness and tranquillity

Somewhere so soothing and calm

Let them rage outside the door

Here is where you are safe from harm

Let the love flow over your body

Allowing you space to meditate

Cleansing you of all the hurt inside

Washing away all the pain and hate

Having somewhere to escape to

Being able to shut and lock the door

Sanctuary, safety  protection

Never to feel pain no more.
