Reflections

A collection of poems - life is a reflection

A memory

For you x

A New You

For those searching...

A&E

Tightly you hold me in your grasp. Airless breaths, gasps... of survival, rush to my aid through blind panic. I falter, for one second... Incapable of movement or thought.

Blood of our fathers

Rest in peace, our fallen...

Can do

It is your life...

Christmas Morn

Merry Christmas x Be happy x wherever you are x

Crumbs

The sun warms my back as I stare at my lonely latte Tourists pass , confused, chatting... Mother's hold hearts and hands As children enjoy their carefree life I am alone.

Dear Lord

Merry Christmas x

Storm

For those facing the storm of life...

Train Home

Faces, spaces, Smiles, stares, tilting head to a lover's cheek; Windows flashing, Reflections, gazing , chatting, patiently waiting in life's journey; What a myriad of hopes and fears

The Wall

Brick , by loving brick I have built my all-sacrificing wall Blood , sweat and tears expended through the years to piece together a life. Patiently I have toiled; Silently , diligently,

You

Sometimes peace is a heartbeat away....

Last Kiss

For those who have loved...and those who will love again x

It's late

There are two sides to every argument...

The Truth

Your moment is now x

You & Me

We are what we feel...

Justice

In the anteroom of a thought... lie hope , faith , belief and justice...

Liberation

If I could liberate you for just one day...

With you

With you... as one and alone.

Would you?

If you could only see the scarecrow of my soul, Would you ...

Eternity's Glare

When all else is lost and there is nowhere left to run...there is you x

The Silence

For love that is lost in the darkness... x

Pebble

I am pebble in a stream... Gently I fall to the bottom Through clear water I drift left and right heavy in my decent Mishapen , with a slight edge. I reach the bottom

Spark

The Earth, dark & soiled , absorbs my fragile body. The Wind, restless & cold , blows against my burnt skin. The Air, gasping & choking fills my aching lungs with hope. The Water

Everything & Nothing

Life....

The leaves of Armistice

We will remember them...

Lucky Charm

Every time I leave your side A sigh sweeps through my soul I grasp at air , my senses dull to know that you're not there. The warmth of lip upon your neck The telling touch on hand

Let the clocks stop

& time stand still...

The Outsider

The outsider sits and sips his tea. Head tilted , ready for action , tea poised, he watches . Lost in his thoughts. He stirs to attain comfort as revellers ignore

Reflections from a train

We sit alone on our journey together.
