ANDREW BLAKEMORE Poems

Aurora the dawning
The beautiful morning
As sun gently shines through the trees,
The clouds lit with gold
...

The cold days of winter and long nights together
When we shared the bond of a close family,
The memories still clear of the home I was raised in
Yet so long ago now but I can still see,
...

The lasting friendship that we share
Is knowing that you're always there,
To make me smile when tears flow
And pick me up when I feel low.
...

The seagull does fly over suburban rooftops,
So far inland and is lost to the sea,
Soaring and shearing and gliding and turning,
And high up above it moves so gracefully,
...

The fire can't warm my lonely heart
Or stem the pain I feel,
This bleak December afternoon
My wounds shall never heal,
...

There lies a space within my heart that shall remain so empty,
As sadly now our days are at an end,
I know I never shall forget the time we spent together,
It is so hard to lose your dearest friend.
...

I made my way towards the park
Upon the route I'd seen before,
I passed the houses in the streets
And with my head bowed to the floor.
...

At the end of the pier I watched the gulls fly
So far up above in the beautiful sky,
And there where I stood I watched dreams passing by
And I tried to catch one in my hand.
...

Cookoo's Nook where the bluebells grow
Amidst the April woodland,
Beside the muddy pathway
Winding through the trees.
...

Peaceful and tranquil the boats in the harbour,
As the sun sets in the crimson red sky,
Their silhouettes dark as they lie there at anchor,
Their masts ringing softly while hungry gulls fly,
...
