Violinist

high pitched notes heard across the room
as bow is drawn over four strings
a whirl of finger movement is seen
this is music played before kings!

Partners

Passions flow when we're together

Always having you on my mind

Reaching out to be with you

Treasured memories in my heart

Never wanting to lose you

Eternally  united 

Realised all my dreams

Secure in the knowledge of our love.

Virtual Battle  

Hearing only one side of the chat
as you sit hunched up on your chair
fingers flicking on your handset
with your eyes glued to the screen
a crash, a flash and a yell
as the enemy shoots you down
shoot them, shoot them !!
you shout down the mic
as your team mate helps you
a muffled sound can be heard through your headset
wow, it`s like another language !
as you fight your battle
with explosions flashing
the excitement in your voice
as your team is winning
in for the final kill !!
you scream out your victory
then sit back in your chair
with a smug smile on your face
now leaning forward again
to start your next battle
while chatting to your mate

in this one sided conversation !

it`s so funny listening to my son as he plays games on his xbox while wearing his headphone lol 

half a conversation pains quite a picture of the battle!

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!!

Mysterious Ocean

A vast rippling cloth of ocean

reaching out to all horizons

flowing from beach to distant beach

each tide controlled by the moon

this living, breathing, moving sea

ever changing, but always present

its lulling rhythms ebb and flow

what ever happens, its consistent

but there`s a turbulent side

raging, thrashing, waves crashing

seas white crested, causing destruction

blasting its way through everything

such an angry foreboding sea

dark churning waters, nothing`s safe

hitting the coast land and beaches

with pounding wave after wave

this sea can be both raged or still

wild, wonderful and wicked, 

so..be prepared, never take lightly

this mysterious ocean

I love the ocean, its waves and the mysterious depts.

I find myself drawn to its beauty, whether, gentle or enraged.

My Battered Laptop !

My battered laptop sits in front of me
my communication across the net
this world is now a smaller place to be
as I chat to my new friends I have met

Emails, letters, Facebook and so much more
chatting with friends from around the world
even do my shopping in an online store
watch the universe as it`s unfurled

my laptop helps me store my photographs
and safe to access them from just one place
sadly its not so good with autographs
hey I only have a limited space!

I'm even writing my poetry here 
as I'm sat at my old key board today
seeing the words forming, gives me much cheer
the poem comes together in its own way

I couldn't cope without my old laptop
for work I depend on it to get me through
but I still meet my friends down the coffee shop
and its doesn't beat a girls night out too!

Laptops are good for storing, working and games, but going out with friends and family is always better.....

Captured Love....

This rose in a belljar

preserved forever

holding memories

of our time together

with sleek strong stem

supporting all we had

thorns for protection

when times were bad

leaves to shelter us

from extremes of life

wafting in the summer breeze

when I became your wife

a rich velvet rose

to crown our glory

of the true love we had

now part of our history !
