A Question
A soldier lay dying
on a battlefield
the enemy advance
they are younger than he.
He looks up and into their eyes.
A question crossed his lips
and the question was why.

Four Leaf Clover
I wish I could find
a four-leaf clover
to give me a bit of luck.
Therefore, off I trotted
to have a look.
I found a lot of clover,
but not one
four leafed clover there.

Love Light
When you’re in love
the love light shines from your eyes.
When you are unhappy,
there is a sad reflection there.
It goes without saying,
love brings out the best in us.

Crescent Moon
I looked up at the night sky
to look at the crescent moon.
I saw a shooting star
and I made a wish.
Only the future holds the secret
whether my wish
will ever come true.

The Biggest Enemy
The biggest enemy to mankind
is mankind itself.
It destroys a bit of our world
day after day.
One day they might realise
not everything you destroy
comes back another day.

A Tantalizing Euphoria
The sun smiles upon our face
embracing our inner self
with a tantalizing euphoria
of summer’s radiant glow
amongst the bitter winds of winter
and its billowing snow.

Bitter Sweet Memories
We all have bittersweet memories
of love lost in the game.
Their names we remember,
how could we ever forget them?
They were for no matter
how short of time
part of our lives.

Love And Tender Care
Each heart has a home
where it finds safety there
with someone’s tender loving care.
Someone who will
mend any broken spirit there.
Someone who will shelter it
with love and tender care.

Red Roses In A Vase
Red roses in a vase
for you on Valentines Day.
One rose for every year
you’ve known one another
and your love has grown.
Now if you counted them
how many would you get?

On The Wind Of Mistrust
I look out my window
and see the rain,
falling like teardropp
against my windowpane.
Our love has gone
now withered to dust,
scattered and blown away
on the wind of mistrust.
