| I was flicking thru an old peotry ook I found in the drawer. One of mine is in it so...but here are a few that I reckon are really good so I thought I best share it with you lot. Enjoy!
DREAMING
Do you ever dream, ever fantasise?
About where thoughts dance like fireflies?
Do you have a world, all your own?
Where you can think when your alone?
I have three ships with golden sails,
Where'ere they go, they leave rainbow trails.
the main deck shines with a golden sheen,
And there's a mermaid for a figurine.
No-one can find me, no-one knows how,
No-one can see me stand at the prow.
No-one else watches, my ships set sail,
And I never think of hurt or betrayal.
But I can't find peace, though I look for the key,
I know it's out there beyond the sea.
Still I search for what I can't find
For it's not real, it's all in my mind.

AUTUMN
Summer has gone; the world has turned; Autumn is here.
The trees stand bare and naked; stripped of their summer coats.
Silhouetted against the skyline, worn out and dead, dark and forbidding.
The leaves underfoot crackle, brown as berries, wrinkled like nuts, the colour of fire.
The wind whistles around me, strong as a madman escaped from his chains.
As restless as a child for whom sleep will not come, strong and piercing.
The animals seek shelter from the chill night air, sleepy and drowsy, slower and slower
Their movements confined as if held by weights.
(this is not all of it, I haven't the time to write it all now)
