Writing can be a window to the soul...a way to release your emotions that can't be said...a non-confrontational way to let people know how you feel and sometimes a pressure relief valve. Here are some of my favourite poems...some written by me, some by others.
![Memories...](memories.gif)
I'm fine till early morning, When the memories drop by. They visit uninvited, And tend to multiply. I'm awed by your love I melt before your smile. I reach out to your presence, Held closely all the while. Those moon lit nights and roses, Kept promises of play To tender love's proposes, That heightened every day. And tho' dark friends surround me, The shadows on the wall, The ever vigil street light, The lonely morepork's call. This room still bathes in moonlight, Is filled with roses' hue, But empty as a promise, Without the near of you. Back to top
![Because](because.gif)
Our friendship has grown stronger now Our loneliness left behind You taught me all the things in life I thought I'd never find Whenever I'm feeling down You pick me up from the floor You make me feel a life ahead So I feel like living once more You give me advice so freely You talk to me of pain You tell me about things in life I owe you all I've gained Because you mean so much to me And because your love has given me the greatest joy I know Because you're such a part of me I'll never let you go Our friendship will last for ever Though people may think it won't I think it will because I feel like I know you so much better Back to top
![Milly's Poem](milspoem.gif) This poem was written for me by my niece Milly
To My Dearest KELZ
I've known you all my life And I've always called you Kel You are my mum's little sister And you've always meant well
I know I can always come to you When I need some advice And I know I can trust you Cause you're really really nice
You know you're like a sister to me And you treat me like one too That makes me feel really special Because I can trust and talk to you
If you ever need someone to talk to You know where I am I live in a far away land that you dislike Lending a helping hand
So ring me if you need to talk And I'll try to understand Don't be scared to tell me what's wrong Cause I'm here to hold your hand
So remember this and keep in mind People like these are hard to find For our friendship is very true I'm always going to have time for YOU Back to top
![I watch you silently sleep](silently.gif)
I watch you silently sleep Your little hands caressing the cat Your hair framing the angelic face Such a big heart for a little girl A heart filled with love and yet so much pain
Your body in stark contrast from moments earlier Shaking with fear, Each sob making your little body writhe A mother holding back her own tears.
Tears of a time gone by Tears of not knowing Thru the sobs come tiny words Four words that can make grown men cry "I miss my Nana"
You lie there...holding you close Telling you that Nana and I love you Feeling my heart tear from my body How can I help you understand little one? When I myself don't understand? Back to top
![A lonely soul](lonely.gif)
A lonely soul In turning time A rising toll Of shattered minds A darkened night With saddened fears A losing fight On deafened ears Decisions made Cease to weep Plans are made For eternal sleep Goodbyes spoken Life resigned One last token A star that shines Back to top
![I am not there](notthere.gif) This poem was written by Sexy_Smiles (Sonia)
I am not there, don't look for me My laughter, my smile, and my joy are not there My tears, my frown, and my sadness are not there Do not weep your tears for me, I am not there Nothing of mine is there, only a headstone with my name, I am not there That's not even my body, it was only a shell to hold my spirit, I am not there Hold me in your heart, for I am there...
