Black Eyed Susans
A sunny day, a warm breeze, a walk, searching.My little hand in your big hand, in a field searching. A smile that reached your eyes and touched my heart, searching. A bouquet of black eyed Susan's found, memories made. Love pure and sweet, though you are no longer here. A sunny day, a warm breeze, a walk, black eyed Susan's and memories, bittersweet

Regret
Forgive me please for all thats past and for words I did not say.Three little heartfelt words that I have long not spoken but have felt them everyday. I hope you know that I love you and that I always have. Out of hurt and misunderstanding I stupidly stayed away, now too late do I realize what I have missed along the way. I know I cannot hug you now or tell you I love you but hopefully you remembered a time so long ago when last I hugged you and let my feelings show. I love you now like I loved you then my uncle and my friend and hopefully someday we will meet again. I love you uncle Chuck!!!

Silence
Under this chestnut tree I am waiting.
The world is silent,
It has forgotten how to sing.
As sleep hovers at the corners of my eyes
The occasional breeze brings me messages;
Tantalising whiffs of garlic; musky scents of loam,
Then everything is silent and still again.
No duck swims on the pool’s placid surface,
No butterfly darts over lilies there,
No fish ‘gloops’ in his play in the sunshine,
Even the chestnut tree seems to sleep.
Then the silence of the earth is broken,
I feel the soil vibrate.
Swish and scrape of leaf and branch
Hit my ear as you advance.
The sun pours down more richly
And I see you framed by reeds.
You must not see me, smell me, hear me,
I must be so still and hardly breathe,
You must not know that I can see you.
Do not vanish like a dream!
White hide, long legs, sleek muscled frame,
Treading the sod with cloven hoof,
You arch your neck, long mane falling,
Trailing in the pool’s deep water.
You drink and ripples disturb
The prolific yellow lilies.
I long to touch you, feel your warmth,
Breathe your hot, strong scent.
I want to stroke your wise, old face
And feel your strength beneath my thighs.
I watch the sunlight glinting off
Your solitary horn and know
I must not call you, I must not sigh,
I must not sob aloud.
I must be silent, I must be frozen,
For only waiting silence can summon you,
Only silence can make you real,
Only in the silence can I call you back to me,
My long departed ancient friend

March Hope
There is a lightening in the air
Together with the quality of birdsong
That tells me Spring is here.
Clouds are high, grey, tattered rags
Scudding fast.
Catkins blow in the cool breeze like golden showers,
But I have seen very little pussy willow.
The air smells fresh and clean,
Purified after last night’s torrential rain.

Bliss
Looking at the lovely horizon
Sunkissed cherry blossoms abound
Tinges of pink, orange and red
Creates an unending joy in this side of my world
And the thoughts of a blissful life with you.
Butterflies flying around dainty flowers
Chirping birds perched on high tree branches
Singing songs of melodious revelry
My mind drifted to a faraway land
Where our souls finally meet and hand in hand we dance.

In Pink
Lovely is the lady I have found in my garden
Dainty little feet dancing to the rhythm of the rustling leaves
Fragile hands took care of her until she finally bloomed
From a tiny little seedling
To a fully grown pink orchid.
The Dancing Lady in pink amazes whoever sees her
Daring to touch her soft tender skin
She’s always looking up to the skies above
Wondering if she could reach it one day
Dance with the heavenly angels wearing pink shoes.
