Hidden in the Darkness...

I stand here in the dark
crying for your love
watching the stars go by
twinkling up above

showing the world I`m still strong
at least they think I am
bit deep down inside I`m dying
hit by a body slam

swallowed up in darkness
feel safe at night
dreams can not hurt me here
evil`s out of sight

so join me in my dreams
never let me go
help me to cope with my life
for I miss you so!

Hues of Blues

The beauty of these hues

creates tranquility 

softens any harsh heart

allowing peace and serenity

These gentle hues of blue

stretching to the horizon

leading down to the waters edge

relaxing each and every person

Centered about this liquid mirror

reflecting all that surrounds

this awesome slice of paradise

nature's glory abounds

Waters lapping against the shore

by rhythms of the moon's tide

lulling you into a calming state

allowing you to escape and hide

So take a little time out here

sit at the edge and dip your toes

and recharge your aching body

thus releasing stresses and woes

Abandoned Beauty

as the sun streams through the window
on to floor boards bare of comforts
wooden window shutters open wide
sun kissed dust sparkles like rose quartz

a door left invitingly open
particles dancing through the sun light
come, rest and relax a while here
romantic atmosphere lovely and bright

with wall paper peeling in the corners
and the old books scattered about
this untouched so peaceful and quaint
such a great retreat, there is no doubt

abandoned beauty is around
all is decaying gracefully
for nature is claiming it back
slowly falling down peacefully

This White Rose for Love

A rose, a sweet scented white rose
the essence of a true romance
given as a symbol of love
sending your heart into a trance

Petals wrapped around the center
tightly sealed to protect its heart
as this new relationship grows
strongly held and never to part

Sharp thorns protect this creation
from all those evil invasions
for this beauty can mesmerize
stop you dead on most occasions

As time goes on the flower opens
releasing its entrancing scent
and revealing its sweet center
showing its exquisite extent

Once the rose is fully open
its whole beauty is there for all
a true indicator of love
this white scented rose standing tall


Congratulations to Jo and Mark
on the occasion of their Marriage

Stone Eye

A single eye set in stone
articulate observation
never missing anything
piercing penetration

with each ridge of scales
optic functions enabled
pebbled skin camouflaged
for its foes to be disabled

with its brown pupilled stare
raised up to see clearly
this awesome predator
that hunts so cleverly

an art work in the making
each scale a miniature stone
blending in with nature
it hides and hunts alone.

a blink and you'll miss it
speed so formidable
the ambush has been set
a fight is inevitable

This tender moment....

your tender touch
across my skin
caressing gently
emotions begin

my heart beats faster
when ever you`re near
smiles light up your face
my doubts disappear

goose bumps all over
temperature rising
feeling like floating
need some advising

laying beside you
this feels so right
tracing your contours
on through the night

gaze into your eyes
this moment of bliss
safe in your arms
as we gently kiss

this tender moment
will remains always
love you completely
our hearts all ablaze.....!

Wow what a year! it`s been great in every way...

I was invited to submit some poems about cats and their interaction with our lives. This is to be a charity anthology in aid of "Headway".

I have heard today that two of my poems have been accepted.
"Feline Friends" and "Caught Napping"
"Headway" do wonderful work and I support them wholeheartedly.

Will keep you all up to date as to when it will be published and hope that you will join me in support this great charity.

Many thanks

Lissie.

Loneliness

I miss you in the dead of night
while I hug my pillow
visit me within my dreams
for I`m lonely in my sleep
watch over me til morning
when the sun warms my heart
I fear the darkness these days
need you by my side again
