Gillian Commerford Poems

I'm good at giving
I'll give you my time
presents
cups of tea
...

Nothing much has been happening to me
Nothing going on
My life is very quiet, very slow
but my soul is learning to dance
...

I've been feeling polar-bearish
like a fierce animal
with an ice-filled heart.
In my mind's eye I see myself floating on a floe
...

What comes to you
is not what you thought,
what's most important
is not what you were taught.
...

Lately when I go into my garden
a green and gold butterfly appears
circling around me
in a dizzying motion
...

Lasting love is a treasure
that's very rarely found.
I lay my love before you-
It has no shape or form;
...

There are times when I feel like doing things
and times when I do not
when I am quite content
to sit beneath a tree
...

The red, red rose
looks velvet blood
you grasp it and you bleed
beautiful but beastly
...

The dandelion doesn't do much
till the wind blows
then promiscuously its seed is sown
rather like some men I've known.
...

I fall into error
at times
thoughts are ravenous wolves
in my mind
...
