The Autumnal breath of nature,
whispers out my name.
It bids me not to fear the Winter,
for Spring will come again.

Never Too Late

The season's too late for daffodils,
too late for espadrilles,
too late for sunset's song,
but never too late for love.

Thought

A song that's never sung
A book that's never read
There's nothing quite so lonely
As a thought still in it's head

TW Vs TV

Twitter helps engage your brain,
You read you write you think
Unlike the box that saps your powers
With those devils, crisps and drink

Love You

No one spared a second look,
no one shared any cozy nook,
for ever I was the misunderstood,
maybe no one knew me like you,
any wonder I love you.

Sharing

After 40 years of wedded bliss
You share your love and grief
But we cannot share this pizza son
Till he's finished with my teeth

Gifts

Music is for playing,
Poetry for sharing.
Gifts of life sat hand in hand,
With love, respect and caring.

Armchair Activist

'I am an armchair activist,
a dedicated pacifist.
On twitter I copy & paste in haste,
to make sure that,
 vital messages don’t go to waste.'

A Mother Ruined


I couldn't resist illicit temptation,
I succumbed without a whim.
My body invaded,
my senses depleted.
I shouldn't have bought that gin.

Senseless

Senseless and crazy, I was.
Of all the things,
I didn't realize I let us go.
Remember each day, I do.
Linger in every heart beat, you do.

Halloween

On this day of pumpkins and goules,
The streets will be full of dancing fools.
To your door will come a knock,
Ghostly figure standing there,
what a shock.

Smoke

Pain stretched out in smoke,
Choking out life;
We say goodbye
As the dirt covers the graves;
Smoke comes out to choke us still.

She Miss Me Not

"I miss you no more"
she said and signed off.
left me wondering
why did she say so.
till she later said
"your words rule
my heart and head"

 Unwanted

Anger is futile
Make you look brutal
Serves no purpose
So go take repose

Thoughtless Moments
My face brushed by strong breeze

Making my thoughts freeze

Lips widening to smile

As I go miles

Poem by Sowmiya

Peace
When you're sad,
I give you gentle caresses & a calm embrace.
I stroke your hair and touch your face.
Peace will heal.

BUZZ

I picked up a newspaper and said to myself
Prepare to die you dirty fly
I swooped at the wall he flew away
I swooped again and dead he lay

Blind is their faith?
A tail of Gods creation
Makes no sense in history
They trust in gold leaf books
With too much simplicity
Poem by Henry

Blind Faith Two
Blind is their Faith
The reason faith is blind,
When you trust in God's creation
If you open up your mind
There is no other explaination.

Arithmetic
Love’s arithmetic is too hard for me –
that’s all I can say.
Last night I thought I was adding, but now
I see I was taking away.
