Softly Sleeping

Sleeping mind at peace,
Drifting through an empty place,
Unconscious and relaxed.

Far Below the Stormy Sky

Far below the stormy sky,
And in the dimming light,
The ocean waves roll high.

Seagulls sound a warning cry,
And fly away in fright,
Far below the stormy sky.

Thunder roars its battle cry,
Ready for the fight,
The ocean waves roll high.

Closing in, the storm's eye,
Wind blowing hard with all its might,
Far below the stormy sky.

The sea churns up in reply,
Reaching to a great height,
The ocean waves roll high.

A trawler sees the danger nigh,
And to safety sails far out of sight,
Far below the stormy sky,
The ocean waves roll high.

A Wifeless Life

A life less love, a loveless life,
A wifeless life, a life less wife.

Heat of Day

Intense heat burns down,
From the bright summer sunshine,
Hiding in the shade.

P.O.E.

Peace is what we wish for, not another theatre of war
End all of these hostilities and close the devils door
All the needless death and total destruction
Can't we find a more peaceful option?
Everyone around the world join together your hands

Overcome the feuds fought across all the lands
No more innocent civilian lives should be lost

Each time we are left counting the cost
And what about the soldiers, out there on the front line
Returning home in boxes, the end of their lifeline
Tears fall from loved ones, they say their last goodbye
How can it be right to let these people die?

Love Me

Love me in return,
For it's you that I yearn,
Give your hand to me,
Together we should be.

My heart beats for you,
Let yours beat for me too.

I am a Haiku

I am a Haiku,
Seventeen syllables long,
Short style of poem.

My mind created stress,
Built a home inside my head,
No escape - breakdown.

Sonnet for a Deer

The sun sets down, today has come to pass,
The dimming light means barely can I see,
In peace I stand surrounded by tall grass,
I hear a sudden noise that makes me flee.

At such great haste I run across the ground,
With freedom of the open countryside,
I take flight away from the scary sound,
Bounding along the fields where I reside.

I jump over a ditch and stop to see,
The grass below is now an unlit road,
Separated from all my family,
A sound approaches I had not forebode.

I turn my head to look, stood frozen still,
I am blinded by the headlights - road-kill.

Baby Girl

My baby born,
A new life starts,
A little girl,
To fill our hearts.

With staring eyes,
Bright and blue,
Taking in,
All sights new.

Your tiny hand,
Grips my finger tight,
Grabbing on,
With all your might.

In months to come,
You’ll start to walk,
Your gurgling voice,
Will learn to talk.

Your life will grow,
On each new day,
My guiding hand,
Will point the way.

Singing Trees

The twittering birds,
Sitting high up in the trees,
All unseen but heard.
