Lillesden School

Dark gothic buildings with fire escapes
stood looking over green luscious land
an education establishment
found in the Garden of England

at the end of a long winding drive way
appearing there, so proud and so strong
turrets standing out against the skyline
there to remember, your whole life long

laughter was heard through the corridors
sounding like ghosts from a former time
pupils from everywhere through the years
when Lillesden was in it`s prime

eerie silence now found throughout the school
dust collecting on every surface
echoing footsteps on the wooden floors
empty rooms without any purpose

now that it`s stripped of all it`s glory
classrooms all choked with vegetation
even the lead from the roof has gone
is there nothing safe at this location

there`s one thing to be said for all this
Lillesden School was the best place to be
we may not have a school to visit
but we`ve memories and friends to see.

Lillesden School for Girls in Hawkhurst Kent, was my former school. It`s glory days long gone, but it`s memories live on !

Passing Ghost

A sudden shiver hits me
feels like a ghost has passed by
the air`s gone cold and clammy
looking round I wonder why

the sensation wasn't pleasant
felt like fingers across my face
a shiver runs down my spine
as I shrink back from this place

feel a whisper close to me ear
this sets my heart pounding fast
who has come back to haunt me?
what have I disturbed from my past

no sooner had the air turned cold
the ghostly apparition was gone
my pounding heart was all that`s left
as this blast from the past moves on!!

Evening....!

So much has inspired me through this day
urging me to paint pictures via the ink in my pen
dancing across my crisp parchment
creating images from the thoughts held in my head
now it`s time to lay my pen down....to rest my mind until dawn......!

   Love is..

Love is                     patient

love is kind               and gentle

it does not boast        or hurt anyone

love is not proud or rude love is not self 

seeking or keeps records of wrong doings

it`s tender and caring building memories

 together. Love is not blind, but sees all 

 that is true. Love is an unconditional 

commitment.  Love is a decision,

strong feeling a judgement.

Love is  a  promise to

honour each other

and for eternity

I love you

always

love

U

My Secret Helper

Home work is horrid
it stops me playing
stuck up in my room
but I`m not complaining

I have a secret weapon
for Spiderman is here
helps me with Maths and English
before it`s time to disappear..!
