Sunday

Lazy Sunday morning

relaxing with a frothy coffee

curled up snug on my sofa

what dance will my pen play out

as I enjoy a wonderful start to my day

here`s hoping you have a great one too!

Be True to Yourself

 

Be True to Yourself

Indulge in the richness

soak up the love of life

discover new treasures

where ever they may be

delve deep and see

then you will find.....

don`t bury your head

in the cold wet sand

open your eyes and see

what the world has to offer

never say never

always be true to yourself

honesty and kindness

makes a true person

smile, and the world smiles too

if you hurt, don`t forget

there`s always someone

worse off than yourself

with humility to all

you will never walk alone..!

Snatched Moment

Snatched Moment

A snatched moment 

time to contemplate

step back from reality

in this peaceful place

among calming sounds

that soothe the soul

stillness all around

life can slow down

just for a brief moment!

Tear Drop

 

from a single tear drop of passion

 falling slowly with each painful emotion

hitting the surface of the water

a tiny speck in this huge ocean

as each drop hits the clear surface

causing a massive disturbance

forming ever increasing circle

that`s bitter with each occurrence 

each ripple moves slowly away

taking the pain from this sad moment

releasing the tension as they go

leaving just a glimpse of movement !

Tranquil Waters

water calms and cleanses the soul

Tranquil Waters

Waters of tranquillity

sharing colours of peace

ebbing and flowing

undulating back and forth

lapping the rugged rocks

carved by wind and ocean

blue and purple hues

reflections of the sky

rich sounds sooth the soul

calming the spirit

easing away all the stress

as relaxation flows

right through the body

like gentle currents

sparkling waters

mirroring the sun

these wonderful waters blue

draw you in to their spell

calmly mesmerising 

as they wash over the rocks

taking you with them

into their deep dark depths

where you can remain

peaceful and tranquil

Beautiful

Beautiful!

big eyes focused
pleading for attention
beautifully alert
sheer perfection

whiskers all static
sensing what`s all around
feeling the atmosphere
yet never making a sound

an elegant creature
with soft silky fur
that`s so gentle to touch
as I listen to you purr

face so attentive
with a purr and a meow

with a loving look
that says, I love you

Ho Ho Ho!

 

Ho, Ho, Ho !!

As snow lay on the ground

foot prints scattered everywhere

while throngs of shoppers 

search for some Christmas fare

bright lights and cheery music

excitement for the festivities

children`s laughter could be heard

as they pursued fun activities

loud Ho Ho Ho`s were then heard

followed by a jolly man in red

for Father Christmas has arrived

with many gifts upon his sled.

once enthroned in his grotto

handing out gifts to everyone

as he calls children to his side

until his work is almost done

then with a farewell Ho Ho Ho !

Father Christmas rides away

leaving happy children in his wake

wishing all a great Christmas Day !

Death of a Rose

   

 Death of a Rose 

Cold, cold heart of death

laying on the hard ground

exposed to the element

never making a sound

no plea for assistance

or demands to be warmed

for this frozen rose

remains there fully formed

its rich velvety petals

red against the grey stones

stands out so vividly

but decay will change these tones

decorated with droplets

of fine powdery snow

this once beautiful rose

remains there still aglow

in its dying moments

its scent lingers on

frozen in time now

until the following dawn!
