My Sleeping Cat

I love to sit and watch her
while she sleeps there on the mat
All curled up so tightly
my sweet tabby cat

She`s hidden her front paws
Wrapped her tail rounf her side
Ears still pricked and alert
sleepl, though everything is spied

Can see her gently breathing
and if I touch her now
she gives a low pitched purr
and slowly changes her pose

Suddenly she`ll twitch
though she`s in her dream so deep
Maybe chasing her new toy
So cute while she`s asleep.

So I will continue to watch
while she sleeps on happily
Both of us relaxing
dozing on contentedly


I find it so relaxing watching my tabby cat sleeping contentedly,  the house feels calm and happy...

The Blackness.....

My world is full of blackness
and I feel much pain within
no light penetrates through it
I have suffered for my sin

Through the darkness I hear noises
the sounds are crystal clear
as I lay here on the floor
silent in this night of fear

All senses are heightened now
this room is full of emotions
not knowing what`ll happen next
tensions flowing like oceans

The pain that I feel in my heart
just doesn't seem to go away
it`s ripping my whole life apart
will I ever see the light day?

Can`t stand the darkness any more
I have just got to see some light
Hate this world of total blackness
scratching at the blind that make the night

Trapped here in this awful world
to be punished in this blackness

Let me go where I need to be

locked away in this darkness


Strange emotions, feelings and deeds create unusual worlds to find ourselves in....

Ponderings....

Walking through the sun lit woodland
listening to nature all around
for here I'm able to ponder 
while enjoying each sight and sound

So much going on in my mind
remembering the things you said
all the tender moments we shared
they`re swimming around in my head

You were once by my side, then gone
feeling a piece of me is missing
for we had a wonderful time
walking hand in hand and kissing

All I'm left is with pain and hurt
so as I walk on through this place
I know I have to move on now
with your going I have more space.....



closing one door, opens another,  walking on through it is the hardest part.....

These Majestic Oak Doors

Through the growth rings of time
standing tall amongst the mighty
to immortalise seasoned wood
destined to majestic beauty

This ancient oak is carved
intricate patterns adorn
great panels standing proud
depicting scenes of glory

Carved with love and honour
a great testament to faith
symbols of our history
these solid doors of oak


Inspired by the carved wooden doors of Bath Abbey

Morning lie-ins 

A shaft of morning sun light

drifts across the duvet covers

creating patterns as it moves

revealing the sleeping lovers

Bleary eyed and so reluctant
to take advantage of the day

hair spread across the pillow
maybe later would be okay

Curled up warm under the covers
as the sun rays move slowly round
snuggled in together they stay
birds singing, the only sound

Far to comfy to make a move
much better to stay and snooze on
another half hour won`t hurt
morning lie ins are much more fun!

Best time of the day!!

Emotional turmoil

All this bitterness and anger
is hurting me deep down inside
once we were so strong together
now I feel our friendship has died

I know that it`s not all your fault
most of the blame lies here with me
but you have pushed me to the brink
for loneliness is all I see!

For priorities have now changed
I'm not a lover, just a friend
maybe that`s right, I do not know
not sure how this is going to end

There`ll always be a place right here
no matter what will come to be
you are my son and I love you
just pray there`s still a "you and me"


emotions and kids don`t always sit well together...

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 a hard thing to cope with, even when people are about....

Music....

music plays a huge part of my life
for it puts a skip to my step
the beat in my heart
the sparkle in my eyes
a life force of me soul
reacting to my emotions

music will always be in my life
to feel it through out my body
sombre march with loss
a dance for party times
strong steady beat for gigs
enriching all our emotions

music is everywhere in my life
it`s deep within my heart and soul
pulsing through my blood
with me all the time
that`s the way I like it
helping me with my emotions


music, music everywhere, and it feels so good
