Della Perry Poems

My soul, you must understand
Is within these poems
Truth is hidden within the lines of verse
I have to write my life, my worth onto blank paper
...

So I must settle for being the light entertainment
Nothing serious
Nothing vital
Just the one who is there
...

His arms reach down around us
Big, bulky and terrifying
His feet are rooted to the spot
Swaying slightly in the breeze
...

The kitchen is rank
Dishes soaking in cold water
Tea stained spoons, coffee stained mugs
Carpet is dusted in dog hair, a snowfall of white
...

I am at war with my self esteem
Wolves smiling, falsity, lies
Want me to stand against the wall
To blend in to the background of their selfish lives
...

She is the Queen of Fake
Lovely and thin, sick in the bin
Every hour without fail.
...

I remembered you well within my heart
You were always the best, that will never part
On a winter's morn, looking out into the wood
Recalling your face, your unyielding love
...

Spaceships flying through the stars
Training Jedi fighters
Annakin and Luke Skywalker
R2D2 and C3PO
...

Pens, pencils and plain paper
Pencil case and paper clips
Desk with a dictionary
Cup of tea and stripy ties
...

No distance, no miles or kilometres,
Will ever be too much
Can never keep us apart.
No motorways, no roads, or lanes
...
