And bad
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams - Yeats

A Sunday poem
And bad
Saturday, 27 June 2015
The impatient man
Give me a minute and
I'll be there she says
It's been a minute
You've done nothing yet
Walking off as she
Struggles to catch up
That was me once
The impatient man
No longer
Now I savour time
Wait for the one I love
And live life to the rhythm
Of the day not pushing
Or rushing just going
With the flow.
The sands of time
The sands of time trickle on
Taking our lives through
Good and bad to an end
No one can foretell
So make the most of the time
We have, enjoy the good
Endure the bad, enjoy this
Life, the only one we have.
Alnmouth Beach
People strolling with their dogs
As the sea shimmers under a glorious sun.
The tide slowly covers the golden sands
And a gentle summer breeze caresses
The grass on the dunes looking peacefully out
Over the flat calm waters.

Small
Sometimes when you're
In the city, you feel
So small it isn't pretty
The buildings loom
Above your head
Making you wish
You were home in bed.
Far away
What is it they say
When you're far away
From the person who once
Could make your day?
That absence makes
The heart grow fonder?
As time goes on
I sometimes wonder
Those feelings have changed
Like the man who had them
He's different now, not such a
Person not who clings to a
Past that is long gone.
The Sun
The Sun is shining in my eyes
Streaming down from clear blue skies
It makes a change from dismal days
When clouds and rain
Block out her rays.
Again
Heading for the North again
The land where darkness falls
In summer late and
Winter days are dark as night
But the pubs are open
So that's alright.

A dream
I had a dream last night
The one I loved
Was leaving me
I knew the face
But the voice
That was of another love
I'd lost
To lose one love
Is unfortunate
To lose two
Careless
Smoking
Smoking is bad
So they say
You do it, you'll die
So they say
Tobacco, it stinks
So they say
A filthy habit
So they say
I like to smoke
So they say
Your choice
I say.
Love
They chat in a pub
About relations
And love
About splitting
And connecting
About attraction
And separation
About why do
They love
And why do they
Split
About ending
And starting
About love.

A Summer day
The rain is falling this Summer day
Soaking the world below the clouds
I wonder if it will go away
And cease to drench the crowds
Who slowly make their way
To work or play hoping for the sun
To shine as it should on a Summer day.

Social Media
And keep our thoughts in our minds
It's Sunday and I'm writing poems.
A poem about a house
Who knows or even cares.
