My Childhood HomeThis poem was mistakenly deleted my apologies .
Wild, natural, without care you
stand hidden, unnoticed, a secret.
Brambles briars bluebells dance
Wild flowers grow.
Haunted laughter, echoes of youth,
Carried by the summers breeze,
Our tomorrow’s and yesterday’s
Forever...

on days that are restraining,

WingsAs I laid there looking up at the stars,
I felt sad and all alone.
The sting of old scars
made me realize that you were already gone.

Bad News, Morose NewsIt’s like being hit by a meteor
Where there’s no tomorrow
It is like doomsday, really
Where everything is ugly
And absolutely nothing is pretty

Without being sick tremendously

Cheers, smiles and praises greeted me
As I walked past them...

Oh what a Sleuth,
It will be mine,
Some day,

My Heart's DecreeI'm stealing a few moments from Father Time
to pen my thoughts on parchment pages.
I write of mirth we shared, sweet and sublime,
capturing it in recorded history of us for the ages.
