John Knight Poems

This poem is dedicated to MARGARET ALICE who (most days) takes on the persona of ALICE IN WONDERLAND to escape the mundaneness and boredom of the real World.

Come to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party
The table is set out under the trees

you will be filled with God's Love & Peace & Joy.
Thank you for all the lovely poems and messages you

SOLO Y CANSADO
PERO TRAS LA VENTANA
...

I loved you all through January
When the weather was so cold
I'll love you all through February
When all my lambs are in the fold
...

I can't recover.
The occasion after it's experienced,
The time after it's moved on,
The presence after the demise.
...

I feel the warmness of your smile
I hear the music of your voice
I love your oh so witty style
Your presence makes my heart rejoice.
...

Twenty ten Oh Twenty ten
The New Year has come round again.
Twenty ten Oh Twenty ten
I know not how and I know not when.
...

The Scent of Bluebells brush the soul
And melt your tears away,
A gentle breeze through leafy trees
Gives purpose to your day.
...

Please don't go in Spring - when love's too strong
When each day flowers the greening hedgerows throng
And when the Sun begins to shine again
And April showers with soft refreshing rain.
