21st Birthday    

Birthdays come but once a year

but a 21st is something to cheer

a give you a toast, a hug and smile

let`s celebrate in great style

enjoy your gifts and don`t forget

you`re wished the best birthday yet!

Old wrinkles

A withered face

wise with years

protected skin

hiding many tears

with sharp eye

piercing view

watching everything

including you !

It`s a cat`s life!

Curled up sleepy on the sofa

taking no notice of anyone

dreaming of chasing playful mice

after a great day having fun

climbing trees while eyeing up birds

by the pond trying to catch fish

but best of all racing around

a cat completing every wish

stretching out slowly, then yawning

turning round to get more cosy

cat napping is quite an art form

future`s looking very rosy

Through the Jungle

A chain of pachyderm
trunk to tail along the track
stamping through the jungle
they won`t stand for any flack

these wonderful creatures
who are so kind and faithful
should be free to roam the jungle
for they`re majestic and graceful

Graduation Day

today`s the day, you made the grade

won the honour, sacrifices made

diploma in hand and smiling face

wonderful moment shared in this place

fulfilling your expectation

we share in your graduation

Colours of Bereavement

The skies around me darkens

blacks and greys surround me

time stands still as I drown

drowning in my own grief

living in this one moment

the colours change again

that`s what happens when someone dies

the light

the light is changing again

it`s bearing down on me

peeping through the stormy skies

the blacks fade into blues

of the bruises on my heart

will these ever heal in time

living in this one moment

the colours change again

that`s what happens when someone dies

the light

the light is changing again

it`s bearing down on me

green... red... reflect on my eyes

as other colours come into view

brighter tones shine upon my face

shadows of the day fade away

once living in that moment

the colours now consume me

is this what happens when death is gone

the light

the light now blinds my eyes

no longer will I fear you

the white light

shining bright

bearing colours

colours of pain

colours of joy

colours of Bereavement!

These lyrics were developed from my poem Colours of Bereavement  by Jon Bull.

Sweet Dreams

Slipping into slumber

Where imagination flows

Even though the night is short

Each dream takes you on a journey

Through many distant lands

Drifting into new adventures

Reaching for the stars and moon

Experiencing many passions

All in one night time until

Morning will come around

So til then, enjoy your dreams !

Slumber

With the setting of the sun

and the rising of the moon

we take to our slumber and dream

and awaken to the song bird`s tune

Our Angel Sid..!

Special memories build a bridge
when our loved ones have departed
helping us to feel we`re connected
soothes the pain of the down hearted

memories of you span many years
for Sid, you were one of a kind
partner, father and grandparent
our bridge give us peace of mind

Special Memories

A precious memory locked away

kept safe for another day

with this key hung on its chain

will I use it or feel the pain

keep it safely away from harm
 is it a curse or is it a charm?
remembering all I've been through
and my special memories of you

Star Light

Spirally across the sky

spinning brightly as it goes

lighting up the night time

where it's going, no one knows

Strands of gold seeking space

testing out the atmosphere

as it moves across the horizon

casting patterns of light so near

Hues of reds and gold we see
spinning and pulsating along
orbiting celestial force
with a fiery tail, so strong

Moving swiftly along its course
streaks of colour across the moon
like candles flickering on by
this star light will be gone too soon

Ink in my pen seems to falter

as if stuttering across the page

images appear to fade slowly

for puzzle is missing a piece

therefore the picture is incomplete

Loneliness

Loneliness can be so hard to bare

a feeling of sheer abandonment
sat silently up here in my room
in an emotional environment

There are people all around me here

yet still I am encased in solitude
like living in a see through bubble
all alone, yet in a multitude

This state of affair`s not good for me

I feel an air of anticipation
needing courage to walk through that door
be happy with participation.

what more can be said,  loneliness is hard to cope with, even when people are about....

Where`s my Internet?

I know we`re really lucky people

having internet, TV and mobiles

but we take it all for granted

when all is working, there are smiles

so when my system goes down

I worry, friends will be neglected

so find myself in such a panic

as I`m unable to be connected

rebooting, searching for my server

trying to get a connection found

I`m trawling through all the cables

not comfortable, sat here on the ground

the screen flickers and comes to life

maybe this time it will work for me

fingers crossed as I Google a site

yippee !  I can browse again happily !!

Our internet went down for a few days, a long with the television too.  Wow  it made such a difference to entertainment. I read a book instead.  How ever it is interesting how much it affects us when we lose it for a while.
