My Poetry Page
I've moved this page over from my last site, so If you've seen it before that will explain it.
I guess we all have feelings we would like to have out in the open and I find it helps to write things down. So here is a few of the poems I wrote in about June 1999.I have written more since and and hope to put them on shortly.

To me, You are the sun that comes up each day
The moon thats shines brightly in the darkened night sky
The stars that flicker and glow above me
I close my eyes and think of you
The warm laughter
The smile that makes my heart melt and beat faster
The eyes that show love yet you cannot speak of it
I open my arms to embrace the body of the person who's touch brings such desire
Such warmth
Such strength
My heart aches to be loved by you totally
In body and soul
To me, You are Everything
The moon thats shines brightly in the darkened night sky
The stars that flicker and glow above me
I close my eyes and think of you
The warm laughter
The smile that makes my heart melt and beat faster
The eyes that show love yet you cannot speak of it
I open my arms to embrace the body of the person who's touch brings such desire
Such warmth
Such strength
My heart aches to be loved by you totally
In body and soul
To me, You are Everything
I seem to have loved you forever
I feel to be totally blessed
I've been sent to you
For reasons only heaven knows
To show you that people are capable of love and devotion?
To show you there is good in some people?
Maybe to show you we were meant to be together
Only you can decide these things
Only I can decide which way to choose from this moment on
I would choose to stay with you and continue to show you love, devotion, support, caring and stand by you for the rest of our lives
Only you can choose if you want me in your life
Life is a gamble
It all comes down to chance
Will you take that chance of being happy
I feel to be totally blessed
I've been sent to you
For reasons only heaven knows
To show you that people are capable of love and devotion?
To show you there is good in some people?
Maybe to show you we were meant to be together
Only you can decide these things
Only I can decide which way to choose from this moment on
I would choose to stay with you and continue to show you love, devotion, support, caring and stand by you for the rest of our lives
Only you can choose if you want me in your life
Life is a gamble
It all comes down to chance
Will you take that chance of being happy
As I lay awake beside you
Listening to your slow even breathing
Loving you and wanting you with all that I am
I can't help but wonder
Do you deliberately punish me
For the hurt you've been dealt in the past
Is that why you shut me out
Is that why you cannot Love me
My heart bleeds as my tears fall
While the light from a neighbours front door flickers on
I ask you
Do you love me
Can you love me
You never answer
Your slow even breathing continues
Listening to your slow even breathing
Loving you and wanting you with all that I am
I can't help but wonder
Do you deliberately punish me
For the hurt you've been dealt in the past
Is that why you shut me out
Is that why you cannot Love me
My heart bleeds as my tears fall
While the light from a neighbours front door flickers on
I ask you
Do you love me
Can you love me
You never answer
Your slow even breathing continues
Two small boys
Both full of life
Their laughter reaching my ears
Through the thorny maze walls
One barely nine
One nearing five
But what different lives they've had
Both bought up by mothers
Yet for reasons only they know
Both reaching out for one mans love and attention
One deprived of that love by his mothers own selfishness
The other, never having known any man as his father
Reaches out to him but not quite getting to his goal.
They play on
Chasing, exploring, in all their innocence
They run to me as I sit watching them
Both wanting to be hugged
I embrace them both with all the love a mother can give
And I am happy
Both full of life
Their laughter reaching my ears
Through the thorny maze walls
One barely nine
One nearing five
But what different lives they've had
Both bought up by mothers
Yet for reasons only they know
Both reaching out for one mans love and attention
One deprived of that love by his mothers own selfishness
The other, never having known any man as his father
Reaches out to him but not quite getting to his goal.
They play on
Chasing, exploring, in all their innocence
They run to me as I sit watching them
Both wanting to be hugged
I embrace them both with all the love a mother can give
And I am happy
The silence fills the room
The only noises to be heard
Come from the faint scratching of my pen on paper
And the low hum of the hot water system
A child stirs in his sleep
Mumbles to himself and then returns to his dreams
I look at the clock
11pm
Dogs bark nearby and a possum clumsily runs along the house guttering
The house is in darkness
Except for the glow of the unshaded bedlamp
Will I sleep tonight?
Probably not a lot
This is Night Shift
The only noises to be heard
Come from the faint scratching of my pen on paper
And the low hum of the hot water system
A child stirs in his sleep
Mumbles to himself and then returns to his dreams
I look at the clock
11pm
Dogs bark nearby and a possum clumsily runs along the house guttering
The house is in darkness
Except for the glow of the unshaded bedlamp
Will I sleep tonight?
Probably not a lot
This is Night Shift
A special thank you to all my wonderful friends that I have met. You are all very special to me and I send you all this special picture
