Ageless Love
I love you in
this life time
As I have in
lifetimes before
You bring down
my defenses
And make my
spirit soar.
We are two
hearts eternally entwined
Since the dawn
of time
Where one went
the other followed
Not to far
behind.
You are my guide
The guardian of
my heart and soul
You are my sense
of completion
I alone love
you.

Autumn
Darkness falls
much quicker
At this time of
year
The heat of the
summer cools
As the winds
begin to swirl.
Autumn the
callous crusader
Whips up all the
leaves
A host of multi
colours
Floating on the
breeze
Skeletal trees
appear half naked
As day loses
more time to night
Cold weather is
now a regular visitor
On a never-ending
fight.
Animals forage
to stock pile food
With a frenzied
air
Winter is
nipping at their heels
Hibernation will
soon be their only care.

Earth’s Heartbeat
Destructive to
creation
To our mother
earth
Her heartbeat is
surly fading
Through the
concoctions of our curse
Our track record
is really against us
With all this
pollution and felling of trees
Through
ignorance and selfishness
We have brought
her too her knees
The impact of
global warming
Speaks of total
doom and gloom
We may well pay
the price in the future
If we don't do something
soon.

Seasons Change Like Fashion
Nature wears a
cloak of green
Fresh with the
joys of spring
Surveying this
wondrous scene
Really makes my
heart sing.
Nature wears a
cloak of fun
Multi coloured
in summer fashion
Holidays, fun
and freedom
Pursuing one’s
passions.
Nature wears a
cloak of gold
Rich with autumn
tones
The weather
changes dramatically
Chilling us to
the bone.
Nature wears a
cloak of white
With a Christmas
theme
Trees and
decorations
Enhance the
religious and party scenes.

Remembrance
To the soldiers
who died where they fell
Who fought
against oppression
Torture and hell
Your bravery was
astounding
And your valour
true
You fought for
Queen and country
Your red, white
and blue
The front line
must have been a harrowing sight
Whatever the
country
Whatever the war
All the terror,
all the pain
We can only
imagine what you saw
Your blood spill
was the nations pain
Your heroic acts
are remembered every year
In the poppy
wreaths on cenotaphs
And in our
hearts and tears.

Heroic Hearts
An army of young
men marching
To retain power
where it has been misused
To protect and
serve the innocent
Who are being
tortured and abused
This dance of
death
It shows on their
flesh
The horrors they
have seen
This reality is
no comparison
To that
childhood dream
And yet they
stay
And bravely
fight
For justice and
for peace
Hoping with all
their heart
That one fine
day
This war will
cease.
