MY TRUE LOVE.

My love, my life, my only one,

Many is the dream that we have spun.

With your love so tender, true,

You took my life and made it new.

From you I learned how to give,

Hand in hand, how to live.

A touch, a smile, a gesture small,

Your love surrounds me like a wall.

Unending patience did you bring,

Making this selfish heart to sing.

You moulded this being into one,

From darkest depth to brightest sun.

As through the years together we go,

Growing older, getting slow.

My love, my life, my only one,

There's just one thing I have not done.

This I must do straight away,

Before the end of another day.

With love, with thanks ever new,

WIFE, I dedicate myself to you.

House of Love.

A house built on foundations of rock,

That will last a thousand years.

It shall withstand the hardest knock,

And keep away all fears.

Such a house we will build together, you and I.

No other abode we'll need.

Towering high up into the sky,

A fortress of loving care indeed.

Each room filled with warmth of love.

Our hearts beat true to heaven's time.

Blessed by that great presence high above,

These walls shall know no crime.

LOVED ONE'S.

The nicest things happen to me,

Like a telephone call from over the sea.

Loved One's phoned, from a far away land,

To hear their voices was really grand.

On Christmas Day, this event took place,

You should have seen the look on my face.

Surprise and laughter, with joy and tears,

Their wishes for health, dispelled my fears.

In fact this day life has begun anew,

It's wonderful what a few words will do.

I face the future with no more fear,

For we are miles apart, but very near.

In Bethlehem, Two thousand years ago. I'm told,

Kings gave presents of frankincense myrrh and gold.

But this present to me was of value unknown,

A near Godly care, You all have shown.

My love my thanks, My blessings are yours,

You Loved One's of mine on those far away shores.

SADNESS.

Dewy tear drops on your cheek,

Barren loneliness that you seek.

A form of sadness weighs you down.

Bereavement clothes you like a gown.

A human frailness I do see,

On your visits, rare to me.

Have you lost that costly spark,

That guides we humans through the dark.

Must your sorrow so sadly clear,

Cling through to my unwilling ear.

For each one of us alone,

Has a wanting to atone.

A need of love forever lost,

An endless time of foreboding frost.

The coldness of that waiting grave,

Frantic efforts your way to pave.

To bring back to life, once more,

With love and tenderness, so very sure.

That you dear friend, may with me,

Go hand in hand through eternity.

THEY JUST WONT LEARN.

A mighty sound came from above,

The voice of God, It spoke of love.

Oh mankind when will you learn,

It's how one lives, Not what one earns.

First I sent a token of my love,

An olive twig with the heavenly dove.

Then I sent my prophets all,

You ignored them in your pride.

Are you heading for another fall,

As your faces from me you hide.

Will you not hear my loving call,

For I am speaking to you all.

'''Tis I your father, the God of love,

In my heaven high above.

Anamnesis.

A beacon sending a flash of light over the stormy sea,

Wind tossed foam upon my face, is this really me?

A lonely Gull rising on each gust of wind slicing the night air.

This experience my Love I will only with you share.

Once we were young, we kissed and hugged.

Feelings so tender we exchanged in those far off days.

Now my love my mind is blank as if in permanent haze.

Moments come through to me as you caress my face.

Hold me tight my precious one in another long embrace.

Derby And Joan.

There they sit, day by day,

They do not talk, there is nothing to say.

Darby and Joan the eighties for bye.

Enjoying the Sun and the light blue sky.

They smile to each other a tender smile.

Theirs has been truly a life worth while.

Children give them a great delight.

They feed the birds , a wonderful sight.

Then one day they are no more there.

Gone forever in God's good care.

Memories dim others take there place.

Things seem to quicken at a much faster pace.

Soon I will sit with my lovely wife.

Darby and Joan as large as life.

We too will be slow and not have much to say.

But our love will live on, until one day.

Some-one will notice that we have gone away.

Away to a place where love will reign.

And we will be young and living again.

CHILD OF LIGHT.

Happy laughter child of light,

Stand you by both day and night.

Gurgling smiles of sunlight clear,

Shall wipe away each tiny tear.

You will be my joy on earth,

Gathering in those beams of mirth.

Being together every day,

Tasting happiness as we may.

Childish blessings shall you bring,

Crystal clear with voice to sing.

Songs so joyful, filled with glee,

That my heart with harmony.

Shall to the whole world proclaim,

That this sweet child, doth bear my name.

Brick Wall.

I will build myself a high brick wall,

Then I will climb up to the top.

My message to the world I will call,

Shouting it over and over without stop.

Be at peace with yourself and your neighbours,

Sew seeds of love let them grow tall.

Take pride in your doings and labours,

Only then will your troubles look small.

Tend your Children with love above all,

Let them be happy without sorrows.

And I will be happy to pull down my wall.

Ode To A Mother.

You who suffered the pangs of birth,

Giving life to another soul on earth.

Stilling it with your own sweet milk,

Those loving caressing hands of silk.

Letting that babe feel that you are near,

Encasing it with a love so dear.

Arms that are strong at comforts need.

Quick with breast that it may feed.

Gentle mouth that lullabies it to sleep.

A mothers heart, that is so deep.

Watchful compassion through the day,

Sleepless nights keeping child's tears at bay.

You with your child, One with the other.

That is the true picture of a loving mother.

Gnarled Old Hands.

Gnarled old hands, worn with toil,

Fingers that are stiff and bent.

These are the hands that have worked the soil.

In many long years well spent.

Once you held seeds in those hands,

Handled them with love and care.

Sewn them over the barren lands,

That others your labours might share.

Those hands harvest the crops of corn,

The sweat pouring from your brow.

A beloved Son to you was born,

Now his hands are holding the plough.

As you gaze over the newly ploughed fields,

Do your fingers cramp as of old.

Are your thoughts of the harvests wield,

That cannot be weighed with gold.

The time is coming for those hands to rest,

Years of work have taken their toll,

Loved ones will fold them across your breast.

And lasting peace will come to your soul,

Your eyes will be opened as your maker you meet.

Those gnarled old hands are at rest.

Heavenly rewards will be so sweet,

For you have given of your best.

Heroes.

The heroes in my Hall Of fame,

Are just ordinary people without a name.

The Lady that wiped away my tears,

The man that calmed my imaginary fears.

You who helped me when I was down,

Your smiles, That wiped away my frown.

You that comforted a lonely child,

Who's only feeling a hate so wild.

You that showed me a world of love and care,

Taught me to live and how to share.

You all will be in my Hall Of Fame,

Just Ordinary People without a name.

Sweet Memories.

I remember the days of long ago,

When love burned bright in my chest.

Sweet Kisses I oft did throw,

To the one I loved the best.

The shy sweet smiles you smiled at me,

I could not breathe and was shaky at the knee.

Wanting to let you know my love,

That it was alright with me.

I took you home to Mum and Dad,

Where we ate cake and drunk some tea.

Mum was a little jealous at first,

But Dad was fully with me.

Mum had me always nursed,

It was a little hard for her to agree.

Now we are married with children two.

This thrills Mum through and through,

For now we are a real family.

And Mum's a Grandma you see.

Bottle Post.

Splashing, sparkling water pure,

Gaining strength as you rush to the sea.

Carrying a bottle with a message sure,

That I wrote to my love after tea.

Float my bottle on the water's wave,

Carry my message to my love,

This note my happiness will save.

And I thank sweet Heaven above.

Surely a guiding hand will bring my writings ashore,

Straight to my waiting heart,

To lift her spirits empore.

My Bottle Post is just the start.

Marriage!

I met a beautiful Austrian Girl,

In the year of fifty-five.

My heart went into a terrific whirl,

But at last I was ALIVE.

She consented to be my wedded wife,

On that lovely September day.

It changed my very life,

I am most happy to be able to say.

We promised at the very start,

Not to go to sleep on a stupid row.

A kiss a cuddle now that was smart,

Our marriage has lasted fine until now.

We shared things both good and bad,

Life was a struggle to survive.

But we were all we had,

We are still happy to be alive.

Our advice to the young ones,

Be true to each other,

Shining on you will be many Suns,

That will try your love to smother.

We are both over seventy years of age,

We hold our heads up high.

Marriage is no more the rage,

For which we both could cry.

Baby Gurgles.

Baby gurgles of sheer delight,

As Mummy kisses your toes.

Baby makes each day so bright,

More beautiful than a rose.

Contented smiles attentively show,

As Mummy gives you her breast.

An aura of the purest glow,

Of a Mummy at her best.

Rewards come with Baby's face,

Reflecting innermost content.

For Mummy's breast is Baby's place,

Mummy's caring is well spent.

Each day Baby bathes in love,

Mummy radiant with her child.

I hear the coo-ings of a Heavenly Dove,

As all around is beguiled.

Strength of a mothers deepest feelings

I see in this picture of mine.

My senses are positively reeling.

At this love that is divine.

Be My Bride.

Curly lockets of finely spun hair,

Eyes expressive of the soul.

Please forgive the way I stare,

For now I know I have reached my goal.

Your delicate face those rosebud lips,

Have brought my wanderings to an end.

As I caress your face my fingers won't slip,

As my hearts love I to you send.

Take me sweet maid, for I am yours,

I will be but clay in your hands,

Mould me, as you will I am sure.

Make me into your perfect man,

Let our hearts beat true in rhythmic time.

A precious wonderful love will be ours,

Our actions will be in perfect mime.

As I lead you into my rose filled bower,

The first sweet kisses of our love.

Will put blushes to many a flower,

You my first heaven sent dove.

I your true loving radiant boy,

Our wildly beating hearts will be of joy.

Tranquillity will be our guide,

As I shyly ask you to be my bride.

Fortune Teller.

With silver I crossed your palm,

To see what the future would bring.

A Lady with great charm,

Will make your heart to sing.

This you prophesied to me the other day,

Up till now no Lady has come my way.

That piece of silver I could ill afford,

But I did it of my own accord.

-----------------

It was a heavy ill-fated blow,

That made me cross your palm.

I won't do it again you know,

But I will remain calm.

----------------

No one can tell the future, only I the past,

Money I did not crave, just a girl of my own.

Perhaps a little love that would always last,

A lovely Lady that I could take home.

----------------

Then one day your prophecy came true,

I met my Lovely Lady with great charms.

Now I stick to her like glue,

And she is always in my arms.

Heaven on Earth.

I did not promise you Heaven on Earth,

But I promised to be true.

Our love was a joyful birth,

Being true was the easiest thing to do.

I promised for richer or for poor,

Somewhere in the middle, a pretty good score.

Then there was for better or for worse,

Did I ever give you grounds me to curse.

Of course in sickness or in health,

All was well until illness crept in by stealth.

With children we were never blest,

God knows we did our very best.

A good home life was ours,

I sometimes strewed your path with flowers.

We stuck together through thick and thin,

All together our life was just one big win.

We had our love we had each other,

Nothing could our happiness smother.

We held hands walking down the street,

Friends we make with the people that we meet.

Our love shows in a beautiful glow,

Kisses we often to each other did throw.

Our marriage was not made on earth,

Heaven showed us our real worth,

No I did not promise you Heaven on Earth,

We both know that this was a sacred birth.

You my first and only love so sweet,

I prostrate myself at your feet.

Looking forward to a few more years,

We have overcome our youthful fears.

Memory Lane.

Come stroll with me down memory lane,

Your life will never more be the same.

Remember when you were young and so agile,

Forget the now forget that you are fragile.

As a child you could not wait,

Christmas. Birthdays came always so late.

Time seemed to go slower in the good old days,

Over the years you have altered your ways.

Think back to your first day at school,

Excitement in the classroom and your very own stool.

Sitting at your desk listening to Teachers voice,

You would sooner be playing; this is not of your choice.

A swim in the river with kids of your age,

Not in a classroom it was just a cage.

The cinema was then all the rage,

The first cigarette you were under age.

Then the first date that you remember so well,

A first shy kiss your parents you did not tell.

The school dance you ask what shall I wear,

In those days about your appearance you did care.

Schooldays left behind you your very first job,

Your sweetheart has left you; time for a sob.

A new romance serious this time.

You hear Church bells ringing what a lovely chime.

Marriage then children doesn't time go fast?

Dwell on the good thoughts they will not last.

Now dwell on the thrills and joys in your life,

The memories pour through some cut like a knife.

It has been pleasant this trip down memory lane,

When you are up to it we can do it again.

Luck!

I call it luck I'll have you all know,

If life has shown you the right way to go.

Luck is however a many faceted thing,

One never knows what it might bring.

Perhaps moneys will come your way,

I myself would prefer good health any day.

You could meet the love that you seek,

Perhaps, today or perhaps next week.

A good portion of luck could change your ways,

You could have comfort for the rest of your days.

Luck could change your unwilling path,

Let you live in luxury with a fire in the hearth.

You could always be on the winning side,

Your happiness you could never hide.

There are many things that you could do,

To make people dependent on you.

But luck has a habit one to ignore,

To make your life a tedious chore.

Luck can turn like the waves,

Leave you with nothing but hopeless craves.

What I am trying to say luck will have its own way.

It might not even come your way.

So do not rely on luck alone my friend,

Use your intelligence make it a trend.

One can be lucky in life,

With the right person be it man or wife.

For love needs no luck just good will,

Eat of such sweetness and have your fill.

In My Heart.

In my heart I have a picture of you,

The picture is old but you are as new.

For years I have carried it around with me,

Jealously hiding it so that no one should see.

The picture changes depending on my mood,

If I am hungry for love, you are my food.

When I am feeling sad you are my prop,

Helping me back on the way to the top.

Happy and cheerful I face each day,

Your smiling face guides me on my way.

Yours is a picture that never dims with age,

With you free in my heart not in a cage.

You are with me both day and night,

Filling my years with strange delight.

I have seen many pictures in my long life,

But none so beautiful as you my dear wife.

Yes in my heart I have a picture of you,

The picture is old but you are as new.

My Ray of Sunshine.

Will you be my ray of sunshine,

On the dark side I tend to incline.

To brighten up my dreary days,

Shine on me with your intensive rays.

Lighten my darkest shadows with one sweet smile,

So that I may be with you for a long while.

Let me bask in your radiance my lovely one,

For I have sadly missed my guiding sun.

Shine into every corner of my being,

Break through the gloom, let me be of the seeing.

Let motes of dust shine clear in every room,

So that I may no longer fear the gloom.

Sweet gentle rays of sunshine pure,

Give me guidance to a refreshing cure.

Soothe me in my deepest despair,

Love is all that with you I can share.

You have my life in your strong hands,

Your strength can break those binding bands.

Drive me up into the sun's sweet rays,

So that I may be with you for the rest of my days.

Sigh.

Oh how I hate to hear you sigh,

Each time I tell a little white lie.

From you all my problems I try to hide,

I push them from me to one side.

Nothing shall shadow your peace of mind.

I above all try my best to be kind.

For I love you more than all earthly things,

I have done since the day we exchanged rings.

Our home is alike to a loving nest,

For you my love nothing but the best.

I try to show my love for you,

But you know that I am true.

True to the vows that I once made,

On that far off day under the Oak trees shade.

Yes I swore to love you on that wonderful day,

Happiness has been with us all of the way.

That is why it hurts me to tell a little white lie,

It always will until the day that I have to die.

For All Caregivers

Hold my hand for I am afraid,

I cannot do anything without your aid.

Stay patient, stay gentle, yours is a hard task,

Try to remember me before my face was a mask.

My Parkinson illness is here to stay,

I have this feeling that it will not go away.

Slow and clumsy my coordination a mess,

Each day you give me more not less.

Muscles have no more power you know,

Every thing I do is so very slow.

I cannot help you when you me dress,

Or what is worse when you clean up my mess.

A piteous effort on my part,

When my body is literally falling apart.

Once there was nothing that I could not do,

My darling now I must rely on you.

Now you too are getting older and frail,

Who is to help me if and when you fail?

I speak to you but my voice is so weak,

You have to strain whenever I speak.

I have difficulties to find a word,

I do not know if you have heard.

Writing to tell you of my great love,

Is all I can do now my sweet dove?

I cannot always caress your cheek,

The strength in my arms is very weak

My love for you now and in the past,

Is the only thing that I know will last?

I am a rich man when I bask in your love,

You know I am meek not the kind to shove.

Your love is gentle you were never rough,

You never waiver when things are tough.

What did I do to make you love me?

I was a no-body what in me did you see.

Whatever it was I am grateful to you,

You made me happy to you I am true.

This burden of illness is sometimes too great.

I just thank the good Lord that you are my mate.

Deep Brown Eyes.

Deep brown eyes of hypnotic splendour,

One kiss on your lips and I surrender.

Surrender to your erotic charms,

As I embrace you in my arms.

I feel our hearts pounding as one,

You lighten my day like the rising sun.

I just cannot resist I am your slave,

The soft roundness of your body I crave.

Only you can calm my desire,

As I press myself against your burning fire.

I have no more a mind of my own,

Since this my love and desire has grown.

It is a never-ending exploding delight,

That carries me up on a heavenly flight.

Yes deep brown eyes of hypnotic splendour,

All of me wants and must surrender.

Teddy Bear.

Father Christmas brought me a Teddy Bear.
I take it with me nearly everywhere.
Out in to the garden under the cherry tree,
Is one of the places where he plays with me.
Mummy takes me shopping into the town,
Teddy comes with me he is cuddly and brown.
Yesterday the Bakers wife offered him a cake,
It was small and sweet that she herself did bake.
Teddy broke it in half and shared it with me,
Mummy bought some more which we had with our tea.
After supper when it is time for us to go to bed,
Mummy kisses us goodnight after our prayers are said.
In my little bed Teddy and I cuddle up real tight,
Mummy wishes us both a very good night.
With my arms around Teddy I soon fall asleep,
He is my comfort and lovely and warm he does me keep.
I am now grown up I am nearly ten,
I write to my Teddy every now and then.
I tell him in confidence my secrets one by one,
He will always be with me for he is such great fun.
Now you know why I love my Teddy Bear.
For he shows me a love that I can always share.

A Light.

A light placed on a windowsill,

To guide you home to me,

When all around is dark and still,

From any distance you will see.

The home you left so long ago,

You broke a Mother’s heart.

Now when I am old and slow,

Return and make a fresh start.

My arms have ached for many years,

Once more to hold you tight.

To keep away those unknown fears,

There are no more battles to fight.

All alone I long for the day,

When you will return to your home.

This is all I have to say,

You have no need to roam.

A Mother’s love lasts forever,

Of forgiveness you may be sure.

Nothing can my love sever,

Come home to my ever open door.

For You.

For you I would swim the ocean,

Or pluck the stars from the sky.

I am filled with sweet emotion,

And I know the reason why.

Love has unlocked my unwilling heart,

There is nothing that I would not do.

This is only the yearning start,

Of a lifelong love that is true.

My Loves Sweet Name.

I write this poem for my love,

A flower prettier than a rose.

Placed on a pedestal high above,

She does not need to pose.

Hers is a beauty that strikes the eye,

She needs no artificial make up I know.

My love for her, here a deep sigh,

Her face is surrounded by a wonderful glow.

My heart beats to heavens time,

When I hold her in my willing arms.

I hear bells that rhythmically chime,

As I surrender to her lovely charms.

My sweet heart she will always be,

In this world and the next to come,

For me there will only be she,

That can make my heart beat like a drum.

I can only whisper her name,

To every little breeze that blows.

It returns a thousand fold I hear it just the same,

The breezes whisper Martha to my willing ears,

Again and again for that is my loves sweet name.

Welcome.

A Baby has come to our apartments to stay,

We wish her well on her earthly way.

May she be happy with her new Mum and Dad,

Nothing but nothing shall make her feel sad.

Let her be surrounded with love and care,

Happy laughter with the neighbours to share.

May we watch her steps into life,

Guided by her Parents both husband and wife.

Bless us with your childish mirth,

Love and joy be yours on this earth.

Grow in grace and heavenly peace,

Bedded down in a golden fleece.

May you know no strife or troubles,

Go through life in rainbow bubbles.

This is our wish Lena for you,

May all of your wishes ever come true.

Welcome to this new home of love,

Be guided through life by the Heavenly Dove.

Baby Eyes.

Large Baby eyes smiling joyfully at me,
Baby eyes as brown as can be.
Two deep pools most innocent and bright,
To me are symbols of sheer delight.
May I greet you every single day?
For you are sunshine on my way.
Other people see you smile so sweet,
All are happier when you they meet.
Eyes are the windows to the soul,
No difficulties for you reaching your goal.
So sweet baby go on life's way,
Those Baby eyes have much to say.

Princess.

I will call you princess for that is what you are.

A wonderful smiling being that came from another star.

Lovely large brown eyes and a perfect little face,

Make me feel so good to belong to the human race.

Your Mother pushes your perambulator out into the fresh air,

You sit and gurgle, smiling without a single care.

A blessing you are to my old weary eyes,

Every time I see you I get a new surprise.

You are as pretty as a picture I once saw in a book.

Now when I see your perambulator I always stop to look.

You lift my spirits and I am happy to see once more,

A sweet little lady that pleases me to the core.

I pray that I may live a few more years on earth,

Just to see you grow and fill my life with mirth.

For nothing is as important to a man like me,

To see a childish spirit that is obviously so free.

May you grow into an adult that abounds with pleasure,

For in my old heart you will be my treasure.

True Love.

True love is known to but just a few.

It is a giving without asking for a return.

For many when it comes it is something quite new,

Others their whole life will for love yearn.

If you are one that has received true love,

Your happiness is shown in every deed.

You are less likely to push and shove,

And will help others when in need.

Eyes shine in a different light,

When love has come your way,

In each little thing you find delight,

Nothing is too difficult to say.

"I Love You," comes deep inside,

Some find it difficult to articulate.

Others find they want to hide,

As these three little words they hate.

I was once in a similar predicament,

These three little words were for me taboo.

Then my heart did at last repent,

I finally my Love had met you.

I know that true love is mine,

You my sweet are by my side.

Now my eyes have that particular shine,

There is nothing my face can hide.

Love.

It took your love to open my eyes,

I had been blind for years.

Many a Maid much to my surprise,

I had sadly driven to tears.

Some were comely to the sight,

Others had an innermost beauty.

All were charming without blight,

And I did my Gentlemanly duty.

Then you came along I was enraptured,

You were perfect in every way.

My heart you completely captured,

Now it was you that had the say.

Your love took my hardened heart,

I was putty in your sweet hands.

There was no inkling of a doubt,

My love for you speaks bands.

Teddy Bear.

I have great love for my Teddy Bear,

I take him with me everywhere.

He was well known at my school,

Being quiet and gentle he broke no rule.

When I go to bed at night,

With him by my side I need no light.

We cuddle each other as I go to sleep,

When we are together no tears do I weep.

Together we have slowly grown old,

We still warm each other from the nights cold.

Love is what keeps us together you know,

A love so deep that it does glow.

Many have envied my Teddy Bear,

For I still take him with me everywhere.

Child Of My Mind.

Sun shining brightly a beautiful day,

Nothing but joy shall come your way.

Happiness in abundance is my wish for you,

As you follow life's path to yourself be true.

Radiance shall shine from your eyes,

Each new experience a happy surprise.

Love will accompany you all your life long,

For yours is a character both good and strong.

So go out into the world Child Of My Mind,

Knowing that I must stay with my kind.

Silence.

Hush listen to the silence all around.

The night has fallen fast this day.

A calm has come over my heart,

I am at rest with nowhere a sound.

Peace is filling me with serenity pure,

I gently fall into a deep reverie.

Pictures flood into my wide-open mind,

I find contentment in my very me.

Wandering into regions that I have never before known,

Soothing pictures flood into my very life.

Rewarding snatches of things to be,

Amputating my grievances like a sharp knife.

I can awake this I know to a new world of love,

Visions I have seen in this silence all around,

A cloak of happiness surrounds me like a glove,

Never again will my feet feel for the ground.

Love and Friendship.
Have you told your kids I love you?
Given them all a big hug today?
In my youth loving words were few,
We were sent out to be out of the way.
Indoors we spoke when spoken to,
Silence ruled most of our day.
When breaking a rule we always knew,
That punishment would come our way.
Each had their jobs of work to be done,
We cleaned and polished and shined.
Life believe me was not much fun,
For breach of the rules we were fined.
In the orphanage no one said I love you,
Never the time for a hug and a kiss,
Friendship was for me something new,
It was the main thing that I did most miss.
So remember to hug and kiss your kids each day,
Show them that you love and care.
That they too will go on their way,
With love and friendship to share.

My Love For You.

I remember the year so well,

You came and cast your spell.

One look from you I was your slave,

And will be until my grave.

Love sparks were in your eyes,

They caught me simply by surprise.

Whatever you said was my command,

For me there was no remand.

You read me like a book,

I was completely caught on your hook.

A willing slave I was indeed,

I fulfilled your every need.

My heart was ever ready to obey,

I have never rued this happy day.

When you cast your loving spell,

In the year I remember so well.

It was over forty years ago,

And my love does ever deeper grow.

Innocence.

Small round face innocent eyes,

Shyly looking at me in surprise.

She lay sweetly in her small bed,

Listening to the words I softly said.

I was reciting an old nursery rhyme,

I spoke slowly and took my time.

Then her face broke into a smile,

Which made my rhyme really worthwhile.

Slowly her eyes closed she was asleep,

The smile on her face was mine to keep.

I have treasured it over the years,

Her smile and later her childish tears.

I watched her grow into a young miss,

Who shyly told me of her first kiss.

Now she is married with children of her own,

With a good husband and a happy home.

When she recites to her children a nursery rhyme,

It takes me back to that far away time.

When I looked on that innocent round face,

That now as a mother is full of grace.

Silvery Moon.

Round full Silvery Moon,

Lighting the darkest night.

Many a lover did swoon,

At such a glorious sight.

Wisps of clouds sailing past,

Tinged with silvery light.

Moons come and go so fast,

Theirs is a sad plight.

Pretty Maid look to the moon,

Count the minutes till dawn.

Your lover will appear very soon,

You will have no time to yawn.

A long embrace in willing arms,

Hearts beating in rhythmic time.

Both succumb to the Moon's charms,

Now I can finish my rhyme.

First Love.

I still feel the gentleness,

Of tender touch and sweet caress.

Each shy kiss gave me a thrill,

Anticipation floods me still.

You were my love my very first,

For your touch I thirst.

Your beating heart drove me insane,

I wanted to kiss you again and again.

You sweet sixteen, I your willing slave,

With roses red your way I would pave.

Then you found another willing boy,

I was robbed of my precious joy.

The joy of sweet gentleness,

With tender touch and sweet caress.

My pangs of love unrequited,

Left me alone and sadly blighted.

I ask myself who is to blame,

Was it for you just a game?

After you set my heart aflame.

Why?
Why do you want us to part?
Is your love no longer true?
Why do you want to break my heart?
I have always been faithful to you.

Have you lost your love for me?
Am I no longer your number one?
Is there another that you see?
some-one to give you more fun.

My love is too great to hold you back.
I shall sadly let you go,
Let you change to another track,
if you desperately want it so.

My heart will be of stone for evermore,
my sadness indescribably fierce.
For you will be gone forever that's sure,
Why did I let you my heart pierce?

Alone going down the street of life,
with no-one by my longing side.
Your leaving cuts me like a knife,
I will not but must take it all in my stride.
 

Mummy’s Breast.

Baby gurgles of sheer delight,

As mummy kisses your toes.

Baby makes each day so bright,

More beautiful than a rose.

Contented smiles slowly show,

As Mummy gives you her breast.

An aura of the purest glow.

Of a Mummy at her best.

Rewards come with Baby’s face,

Reflecting innermost content.

For Mummy’s breast is baby’s place

Her caring is well spent.

Each day Baby bathes in love,

Mummy radiant with her child.

I hear cooing of a Heavenly Dove,

As all around are beguiled.

Strength of a mother’s deepest feeling

I see in this picture of mine.

My very senses are reeling,

At a love that is divine.

My Hand.

Guide this my hand; guide it well,

Over virgin paper so pure and white.

Let me a story of love tell.

Love that is filled with delight

May my hand never fail or tire,

Words of wisdom flow this very day.

For love is filled with wanting desire,

Yes this is what I want to say.

So come gentle words of sweetest love,

Help fill this patient sheet of white

May it be about a Damsel’s glove?

Or of kisses stolen in the night.

For My Wife.

Words of love, words of care,

Come not easy to my pen.

One thing that we do share,

our love, Over and over again.

Your eyes of deep Doe brown,

lips of sweet promise to be.

On your face never a frown,

showing your sweet love for me.

Each gentle word from your sweet lips,

Each tender loving caressing glance.

I can take only in small sips,

For I am always in a trance.

Yours is a love so true,

my feelings for you nearly divine.  

I want and need only you,

My heart tells me you are mine

Your Love.

Only the love that you do give,

Gives me more the will to live,

You stifle all my doubts at birth,

with your cheerful joyful mirth.

One deep look into your eyes,

Lifts my soul up to the skies.

My painful miseries disappear,

When you my precious love are near.

My hurting and never ending pain,

Tell me I have nothing to gain.

Nothing but your loving arms,

As I succumb to your precious charms.

Hold me in your warm embrace,

Help me all my pain to face.

Wipe away my tears of doubt,

Together this pain we will flout.

Joys of heaven will be ours today,

Just love me in your own inimitable way.

My love will be forever sweetheart,

Until death itself does us part.

In heaven we will meet again,

With no more fears, no more pain.

With the Angels we will sing,

Forgotten forever life’s bitter sting.

Loving Refrain.

My tender feeling when I took you darling in my arms,

My pulsing heart beats as I succumbed to your charms.

Your kisses so gentle and oh so sweetly clinging,

Set my poor soul in a soft melodious swinging.

Resist you my beloved why I simply could not,

The rich blood in my veins so pulsing so hot.

My breathing in your sweet feminine love,

Raising my feelings to sweet heaven high above.

Did we kiss one hour? Or one whole day,

I do not remember why I just cannot say.

When did we reluctantly end our moment of bliss?

Was it over a hundred or just the one sweet kiss?

We have not altered in any unfathomable way.

Our method of kissing has lasted until today.

From the very first kiss we were meant for each other.

Nothing in this old world can our tender love smother.

So kiss me my sweet dear one over and over again.

That our two hearts sing together in loving refrain.

Those tender loving feelings as you lay in my arms,

Are for yesterday, today and forever part of your charms.
