JJ Evendon Poems

I woke up, in the middle of the night,
at something that gave me a terrible fright.
There at the bottom of my bed
were ten strange things painted in red.
...

To be an astronaut would be fun.
Take a rocket to the moon, or blown to kingdom come.
Either way you'll see the stars,
whole, one would hope, or in many parts.
...

If tomorrow never comes,
what would you do today
that you didn’t do yesterday?
Would you talk to your neighbours?
...

I always like to meet,
under fresh crispy sheets.
To feel their coolness against my skin
I get so excited I don’t know where to begin.
...

Between the shutters, I can see,
a light far away shining at me.
It’s four in the morning and nothing is going on,
but the light fascinates me, I wonder where it’s from?
...

Arms of an angel are reaching out for me,
to take me to a place where I am not ready to be.
I feel her warmth and I feel her love
for I feel everything that is good pours from her above.
...

There's something about lavender that excites me
Like driving through Provence in an old 2CV
Roof rolled back, windows flipped open
Feel the sun on my face and smell fresh fragrance of pollen
...

There’s a halo above my head,
it wasn’t there yesterday, am I dead?
I can see blue sky above me
and a nightingale singing in the tree.
...

I'm a man on a mission - if you please
Dressed up like James Bond - boots on skis
Going hell for leather - rocket to the moon
Everything's a blur - I'll be there soon
...
