ANDREW BLAKEMORE Poems

Moments in time
Things could have been different,
And if I could change things I'd go back again,
Chances I missed
...

I saw the last light ending
Of the love I'd treasured long,
The birds that rested in the trees
No longer had a song,
...

For when two hearts do fall in love
The sun will shine in skies above,
When flowers bloom and colours glow
And crystal streams will gently flow.
...

I look upon the blossom sky
Like spring afar the colours shine,
Above the darkened summits
Of this wild and rugged land,
...

A boy was born a miner's son
He never knew him well,
For his father died when he was young
Within that pit of hell,
...

As seeds blow from the dandelions
Across the fallow field,
They sail upon the autumn breeze
Like parachutes they go,
...

Beneath this oak with branches strong
Where birds once filled each morn with song,
Through winter spring and summer fall
Their graceful tunes did softly call,
...

Once upon a time there lived
A hungry worm so lean and small,
Who searched within the garden
Looking for some food to eat,
...

Old faces I saw every day
Although I barely knew their names,
I noticed when they were not there
And each did leave a void,
...

A frosty morn I walk alone
I blow my hands to keep them warm,
As sunlight shines but weakly through
The lightly dusted trees,
...
