Just a few rambling pieces of poetry
Poetry
The Little Raft
The rickety raft ricochets over rapids untamed The furious force seeks to have all reclaimed 🌑 The little raft bravely battles the swell An uneven match Goliath vs the eggshell 🌑 The relentless fury roars and screams Whilst our indomitable friend pursues its dreams
MoreWe Are One
We are One Earth’s children One with Nature One with the Sky One with the Universe 🌑 We are One
MoreThe Garnet
The Garnet scrutinises Souls The light infused crimson captures gaze Eyes are trapped snared by Beauty
MoreThe Feather
As the feather falls from the Bird in flight I have fallen into my Life Now I seek that Bird
MoreThe Irish Sea
With soaked through shoes I observe the Irish Sea waves wash over my feet rain drives into my face 🌑 I am cold wet In my element Happy
MoreWings A Shimmer
A chuckle, a giggle a flutter, a flitter Wings a shimmer Spreading glitter 🌑 Fooling and tricking Hiding and seeking The little faerie playfully sneaking
MoreThreatened
What a wonder she is Silently following her course A goddess in white A glistening blue sapphire 🌑 She is ageless, graceful Calm yet powerful A force of nature 🌑 She glistens in the midday sun A bright star in a cloudless night A sparkling diamond in a special ring 🌑 A phenomenon an enigma […]
MorePollination
Busy busy is the Bumble Bee pollinating for you and me 🌑 Flutter flutter goes the Butterfly pollinating in the plants so high 🌑 Bustle bustle the Beetle here and there pollinating without limelight and flair 🌑 Just a few who without we would be lost Let’s pray they prosper and keep our fingers crossed
MoreThe Barrow
From the prehistoric Barrow our otherworldly Ancestor came To cross the grassy ditch find the way home his aim 🌑 No one knew why he woke sleepless he had become He steadfastly headed home to the beat of the Universe’s drum
MoreThe Cat On The Window Sill
Sunless silhouette not stirring Luminous apertures scrutinising Elegant empennage flicking 🌑 The cat on the window sill 🌑 Motionless Watching Staring
MoreThe Horseman Cometh
The Horseman Cometh a trot becomes a charge the distant image becomes a forbidding figure fierce and large 🌑 The mighty hooves create a roar of thunder Anything in the way is crushed there under 🌑 The Horseman Cometh
MoreThe Deep Dark Pit
Some of us have been down the deep dark pit more times than we wish to recall Each time though we have clawed our way out rather than quit 🌑 The pit which has no common name does not define who or what we are We are who we want to be our destiny is […]
MoreThe River Valley
The monsoon engulfed River Valley is lost lost in location lost in time 🌑 Lush dense foliage alive with life Iridescent running water free from pollution Nature has not learnt to fear man 🌑 For humankind has never found never disturbed never damaged
MoreA Spring Day
The silence is elusive the noise is relentless The innocence of youth long gone the cynicism of age well embedded The experience of life wintry the wonder for Life a dewy spring day
MoreThe Little Snow Globe
The Little Snow Globe a snowy mystery tour From castles and cathedrals to a Scottish highland moor 🌑 With a gentle shake the magic and dreams begin Even the hardest of hearts cannot avoid a smile and grin
MoreThe Painting
The eyes glanced to and fro or so it seemed The eyes belonged to a man painted in oil who in life was never redeemed 🌑 The man in black no one knew his name had existed in that painting since the very day he had died in shame 🌑 For centuries he had watched […]
MoreLittle Grey and Little White
Little Grey and Little White Iceland is now your safe home These two Beluga Whales finally have a sanctuary to roam 🌑 The Sea is now yours again after captivity for so many years To see you safe where you belong brings joy and heartfelt tears
MoreThe Reflection
Is it real Is it imagined As I gaze into your surface It’s not a reflection I see 🌑 I see Something indistinct but familiar From this world but not 🌑 I look away distracted As I look back at your surface I see me
MoreThe Runaway Train
The runaway train of Choices goes faster and faster further and further away from its destination 🌑 When we stepped on the train we knew the timetable or thought we did Our Choice takes us on an unexpected journey
MoreThe Rocky Hill
Birth death In between each and every Breath 🌑 Unsteadily we roam the tightrope of Life in an effort to find our soul’s true home 🌑 Veering between the Dark and the Light we seek a path to that which is hopeful and bright 🌑 The path we choose is unique to each and all […]
MoreThe Serpent
The Serpent of Life Constricts without liberation 🌑 We struggle to free ourselves The more we wrestle the tighter the Serpent becomes 🌑 To overcome the Serpent Faith and hope within should be discovered ignited
MoreA Metaphor
Wistfully I stare at the clouds slowing drifting with unperceivable change A metaphor for life
MoreWe Will Never Be
We will never be Warriors peace rests in our core 🌑 We will never be Haters understanding permeates our thoughts 🌑 We will never be Perfect self-awareness exists in us 🌑 We always be Ourselves true to who we are
MoreThe Weary Mole
We peek out of our bunkers like weary moles Blinking into the light to see the shine of a new dawn 🌑 Our eyes may be red unable to focus We may be disorientated confused 🌑 But like the weary mole we have a conundrum To head back down into our hole and hide from […]
MoreThe Desolate Wasteland
The desolate wasteland draws closer the iridescent lakes far far away 🌑 Time to turn around Retrace one’s steps
MoreThe Lords of War
In whose name do they fight Differences they can only settle by might 🌑 Levellers of destruction The Lords of War Causing carnage laughing bathing in the gore 🌑 No mandate no plebiscite The Lords of War humanity’s most terrible blight
MoreMasquerade
The nights of my dreams masquerade as truth The days of my truth masquerade as night
MoreThe Power of One
The power of one screams at us Tantalising but seemingly unreachable 🌑 The one is us
MoreThe Long Grey Cloud
Disoriented the long grey cloud befuddles we lose our path 🌑 Waiting for the rays to break to shine a light For then our journey can continue
MoreKaleidoscope of Many Things
What am I? A husband father friend 🌑 I’m a kaleidoscope of many things None shine brightly The whole is a dull shimmering light With occasional flares of colour 🌑 I’m a chameleon to many I am what you want Different for each person But that is not me 🌑 I am a kaleidoscope of […]
MoreThe Eyes
Smothering air Spectral darkness Isolated Lost 🌑 A wrong turn taken, dead end found Decision, retrace steps or wait in the ghostly gloom 🌑 Foot steps heard a distance away but seemingly getting closer 🌑 Silence maybe misheard, mistaken just paranoia setting in Calm returns 🌑 Breathing slows heartbeat softens The panic has retreated 🌑 […]
