Poems Chapter One



The Arrival


Encompassed by a flickering aura of white light

your soul arrived to the welcoming beat of my heart,

and we joined as one into the dreams of our bright new future.




Star Child


Your birth broke the silence of my many dreams

and placed your footprints on the stepping stones of my future path.

You are the angel's promised gift, a star child,

chosen from a heavenly host of answered prayers.

We step forward together in the sunlight of God’s abundant joy,

knowing that he shields and protects us with his endless love.




Life's Challenges


Embrace and enjoy your time of abundant challenge,

rise to your post of honour and excel as I know only you can.

Make your mark and trust in all your heartfelt judgements,

let the applause reign in your prize for a job well done.

You journey not alone, my support will shield your every side,

good fortune rolls out like a carpet before you.

Go now, go make your footprints and enjoy your roller-coaster ride.




Special


You can't buy special

but you can hear it,

it's the music of your soul.

I know, I listen.




Secret Soul


Like lapping waves around me we share the rhythm of life,

come with me, dive into my ocean.

Swim with me in the warm channel of love, wash away my guilt,

say nothing.

Seal our kisses with the promise of the secret soul,

crashing world around us, relentlessly pounding the fringe of the shore,

the sunset is painted, and I find you once more.




Symphony


On life’s pathway I have sprinkled healing footsteps of music,

rippling with vibrations of love.

Singing choirs, quiet duets,

flutes and oboes, cymbals and harps.

Sift amongst them to find your tune,

and then sing it aloud with laughter and fun.






Searching


Dancing in the trail of music,

my soul found the beauty of your love.

It coloured me with so much happiness,

that I knew I had not lost you.






Rippling Love


I found the beauty of your love all around me.

Even though your pain rippled the waters of your soul,

you held and embraced me whilst daggers of ice pierced your heart.

But now the waters have stilled my love,

and I swim in the space in your heart.

Let nothing, but nothing my darling, keep us apart.






Perfect Day


Invisible enchantment guided me to you

to seal my promise and pledge my vows,

under golden rays I opened my soul

and let free the confetti of my dreams.

Come, embrace all of me, capture this moment,

for she is the forever.

Travelling memories of this my perfect day.





Rainbow Ribbons


Rainbow Ribbons painted as if by magic

across the pathway of my day,

I always welcome your vision of beauty.

Your colours mesmerise me and entice my gaze.

The sun mingling with rain creates your very existence

you stand and guard the gateway of my heaven,

I believe in you even when clouds banish you from their skies.

We have met many times before but always with surprise

I know your colours will welcome me in again,

but just for now the magic moments have healed my memory of love.




Moonstars


Constant constellation of shattered crystal stars you twinkle at me,

shimmering light and cascading love across the pathway of my life.

Bizarre dreams of my crescent moon curve about my thoughts

as I swim in the tide of your love.

Clever camouflage of summers day blankets all vision of your beauty,

but in the prayers of my nights I remember the orchestra of your life,

and my heaven fills with the music of your singing soul.




Kaleidoscope of Life


Mirrored fragments jump in sequence with every twist and turn of the kaleidoscope,

ever changing patterns dance and jump before me connecting every moment in time.

Shapes cascade and tumble,

they rest in formation ready to be jolted into new dimensions.

Every movement unpredictable in its mystery,

how my life resembles the image in the kaleidoscope.




True Friend


If you can open your heart wide enough to forgive my imperfections,

you are a true friend.




Thirty


Thirty is where youth flirts with the fringes of maturity.

Thirty will not surrender her frivolous twenties,

but will fly in the face of opportunity and challenge.

She is both radiant and confident, and full of natural beauty.




Abundant Love


When we meet, happiness showers over me,

and a part of my life clings to the dream of being in your embrace.

I wear your light like a halo of stars,

and your every touch protects me with the abundance of your love.




Friendship


Circling our friendship is a golden band of time,

precious memories encircled as if by a halo of stars.

Wear it often, and angels will rest in your dreams.




Birthday Bouquet


Your kindness opened my heart to the

wonderful garden of flowers around me.

I want to show you just how special you are

so gather now your bouquet of memories,

from the garden that is sown full of birthday wishes.




Poems Chapter Two


The Mother


I am the mother so safe and warm,

I’ll hold you tight in a raging storm.

I am the mother so gentle and mild,

and you my dear are my beautiful child.

I am the mother so pretty and funny,

I’ll make you laugh when days aren’t sunny.

I am the mother who’ll always care,

and I am the mother who’ll always be there.

Remember my scent of flowery soap,

so when I seem gone you will always find hope.

Evil cannot kill the power of love,

so I still go on in Heaven above.




Intention


Sprinkle liberally all the kindness you can

and watch your garden grow.






Angel Woman


Angel woman carries the essence of love

on her aura of light, she cries real tears for me.

She opens like a flower, each and every one of her beautiful petals

so that I may witness the glory of God.

Her warm smiles radiate everywhere she goes,

and I welcome her shadow.





Angel at the Seashore


Take time out today, my friend,

from the frenzied world you’re in,

for you have earned your day in the sun.

Sit back and bathe in the beauty around you,

and listen to the tale in the wind,

an angel is calling you in.

Be strong and free like a river,

always aiming for the sea,

like the gull on the rolling wave,

Like the pebble pounded by the sea,

go to the blue shore,

for there you will be sure to find me.





Fire Angel


She is as bright as the sun.

When all is at its brightest,

she burns with beautiful shining sparks

which shine with all the world.

But when she is low,

she rests with glowing red embers,

red as the flame that is burning within her.

Her flame flickers on,

to fill the room with glorious heat and warmth,

as she crackles away on a cold winter’s night.

The scent of her burning fills the room,

but the night is ending, and put out is she,

the fire angel.






Angel In The Wind


Life is calling to the wind, she whistles to me,

rushing through the forest trees she brushes over me.

She passes round the curves of life, over the hedges and over the grass,

she smooths the bends of the road travelling beside me.

The wild wind runs through my hair, I feel as if I’m on top of the world,

she has lifted my soul.






My Flight


I am chasing the sun on my journey to meet you

before the darkness of night,

I am the mother in daylight

you are under the blanket cover of nightfall.

You have the stars for company

whilst I float on white clouds guided by my angels,

you travel before me

showering my days with your dreams.

Distance cannot change the destiny of our lives

whilst forever revolving at opposite sides of the world,

I journey through time to greet you

in the skies ahead I see a vision.

Peaceful, serene and full of grace

I know this to be an angel,

and she is you

my beautiful daughter.






Purple Memoir


I rest not in darkness,

just in a purple sleep.

Your love spiralling all round me,

rippling my soul with light and love.

I am not asleep, but still dreaming,

in the golden sunlight of many memories.






Eternal Love


So beautiful is the message of eternal life

that I weep aloud my salty tears for you,

they roll down my crumpled face

tickling my cheeks and finally resting upon my quivering lips.

Some days are so special now

because I can remember you exactly the way you were,

and that was special.

You always made the dullest day warm and bright

you wrapped your love around me like an invisible cloak,

and I was safe.

I still feel you in the music of the day

and in the stillness of the night,

I know you’re never far away

you’re in my memory every day.


Written in memory of my dear mother, Shirley.




Drifting Peace


Fear nothing,

relax into the serenity of peace

which the angels bestow upon you now.

Sleep well,

they will cover you

with a blanket of healing love.

Rest easy,

relinquish and release

everything will be replaced as if by magic.

Musical notes,

of such peace and beauty

will sooth and stroke your inner self.

Make no decisions,

for you will be taken care of

by many.

Deep is your belief,

in heavenly creation

and with whispering voices you will be calmed.

And when you return,

you will be greeted by such love

that your soul will sing out.




The Essence Of Christmas


For me, the essence of Christmas

comes wrapped with your personal touch

of pure love.




Hope


The hope in your eyes

pulls all our togethers

under one heavenly apron of love,

and my joys burst into the dreams

of my yesterdays.

See me smile.





Anniversary


You only have to travel back

in time a short distance,

to remember a precious day,

touched by perfection

and sprinkled with joy.

To know the happiness

that radiates from your union.





Glorious Love


Happiness is a Christmas present you give yourself,

sharing love is infectious and as precious as the life we’re given.

Gifted with our own talent we are bound with natural energy,

we radiate our own Christmas sparkle.

We unravel and let our brilliance shine out,

once we are happy we illuminate everything around us.

We create our own glory.





The Journey


Take me when I am no more,

close to the water by the shore.

The healing waves will rock my sleep,

and make my journey endless peace.

Whilst winding winds will howl and blow,

I know your love will free my soul.





Cat of Nine Lives


Divine cat of nine lives creeping past my door,

magical paw prints guiding me home once more.

Your soul spiralling all about,

greeting my arrival once more.

Gleaming whiskers, detectors of your journey,

with parchment tongue sweeps away the dust of day.

Flicking paw,

twitch no more.

The game is up, predator in darkness I saw,

I saw that stretch of evil claw.

Telling, knowing, clever cat,

purr, perfect wistful cat





The Next Chapter


My work is now complete,

the winter lawn needs no more tending

she can rest now.

Let the frosty nights cloak her,

let the autumn leaves shadow her

and let the gentle snow blanket her dreams.

We are all asleep, under this winter spell,

the owl of darkness speaks to the hollow winds

the blackbird she greets the dawning day.

But now as a new spirit awakens within me,

my pathway opens into two

and a new Spring calls me to walk her way.

Fresh rains wash over me,

and the seeds of my happiness

blossom into full bloom.

Awaiting angels,

with opened wings guide me in

with their eternal love.
