Splashes of a Rainbow

Splashes of colours
across my sheet of paper
creating mini images
completely unplanned caper

They look so bright here
splattered in a line now
like a kaleidoscope
colours of a rainbow

Each splash of ink here
forms into their own shape
all so very different
let your mind eye escape

As each drop of ink
spreads across the surface
the colours merge together
these patterns have no purpose

So enjoy the splashes
across my paper here
exploring all the beauty
as these pictures appear...!

My Spot

Here on this spot
is where I will rest
watching all of life
from this step is best

It`s comfy sat here
half way up the stairs
I`m all stretched out
better than on the chairs

Can safely snooze on
observing contently
always looking my best
while purring gently

Aware of all events
up stairs and below
for my step`s great fun
as I enjoy life`s show!!

Loved ones.....

why do the
ones we love
seem to hurt
us the most?
pain penetrates
so deeply
leaving us weak
like a ghost!

families should
love and support
through good times
and also the bad
not to bully
pick on and hurt
but encourage
give hugs when sad!

so is it now
that I feel pain
that`s taking over
deep within
eating me away
from inside to out
growing intense
like a heavy chain!

eyes searching
for some answers
where do we go
at this point in time?
need to feel loved
and trust once more
honesty is best
it`s not a crime

so I ask again
why is it, that
the ones you love
hurt you the must?
as forgiveness
is for the best
what we need now
is love and trust...!

We have but one life

Why do we torture ourselves?
its something we seem to do
put barriers in our pathways
and then wonder why we're blue!

See obstacles, where there are none
find excuses why we can not go
no faith in what we can achieve
we don't give ourselves space to grow

Though our journey through life is rough
and our road will be hard and long
deep down we know there is strength
so we can walk with pride and be strong

Never let people get under your skin
for this will only breed doubt
we should follow our hearts desire
don't be bullied or pushed about

Remember we only have one life
we should live it to the best
so the moral of this poem....
be content, for we are all blessed!!

Whispers

Listen to the whispers
of your heart
for they will set
your soul free
telling you softly
to follow it
never be afraid
to walk to road
open your eyes
and see the light
that shines brightly
from your inner soul
so never be afraid
of the whispers
from your heart....!

Autumn to Winter

Autumns golden hues

red and orange and yellow

trees alight with bright colours

carpets of leaves covering the ground

being splashed around by

wellington booted children

clad in scarves, hat and mitts,

puffing clouds of steam

as they race around the park.

The trees are looking bare

now they`ve lost their summer coats

but here and there a holly tree

defiant in its green

squirrels red and grey alike

stocking up their larders

to see the winter through.

Darker now the evenings

and colder all around

people hurrying to get home

to warm their weary bones

The grass is crunchier underfoot

Jack frost has danced around

he leaves the park all muffled

impressions of black and white.

winter has crept in

through the gap in Autumns door

and caught us all unaware

until it shouts BOO !!!!!!

Autumn sneaks up on us and lets winter in......

Secrets

Held deeply within my heart
hidden from the light of day
special moments not to be shared
dearly protected treasures
taken to the grave
remembered but never to be spoken
secrets of the soul
locked away from prying eyes

Reflections

Rolling clouds across the building
movement seen all around
sunshine brightening up the world
blocking out the street`s sound

it feels like an ocean liner
sailing through the city
on to destinations far
where will its harbour be?

illuminating blue skies
reflecting through my window
clouds like waves crashing by
this surf that`s seen from my pillow

as we sail in to the distance
watching all as we pass
feeling the movement of sea and sky
mirrored in our ship of glass
