My Quiet Place. I oft take me to a quiet place, and there will sit me down, To search for peace and solace, and enjoy the beauty found. Once there, I consider how best to use the talent I possess, Which sometimes proves a burden and, this I must confess, Behoves me to restore my [...]

Carved with Love for Eternity.

In Warren Wood there stands a special tree A Beech that for long has meant a lot to me For carved in its ancient bark, that all can see, Are the entwined initials of my wife and me. Fifty years have passed since it was first done; With vows exchanged, we pledged to live as [...]
A Thin Band of Gold.

A Thin Band of Gold. Poignant are the memories which are now told By a frail little Lady, now growing old. As she softly speaks, on her finger she’ll hold Her greatest treasure. A thin Band of Gold! At first, life was harsh, and her face betrays That sorrow. But she knew happier days. Times [...]

Love Lies – Bleeding? I’m tired of reading poems and prose, Penned by those who write to disclose Their one true love, decamped overnight. Broken hearted, bemoaning their plight, Bitter words flow from their acerbic pen, With vows not to trust love, ever again, Failing to understand, their lack of charms, Drove their lover to [...]
Transient Dreams

Transient Dreams I sleep, I dream, but momentarily away, Are those fleeting images I wish to stay. Nightly visits on which I set great store, Are glimpses from happier times before. Returning swiftly to whence they came, On my awakening, I can recall no name. These favoured familiars of times past, Are but briefly enjoyed, [...]
