Joyce Hemsley Poems

Tonight
My 'sweet sixteen'
He waits for an embrace
Forget the wine and life will shine
...

The conflict had almost ended
A temporary lull was all around.
But the fight was never o'er
In those gallant days of yore,
...

Venus, Venus, ever bright.
Mother of the darkest night.
Planet of a million dreams
From north to south
...

Humour Intended:

An educated man ~
He could learn and remember.
...

In worldly reality, we've never met.
But I cling to the Voice of Glory yet.
Gentle Jesus is the Holy name
His peaceful message calms my pain.
...

Charmaine is twenty-one at last
It happened in early September
Yes twenty-one years have slipped away
Her beautiful teens I well remember.
...

Success
Was his sole aim
He purchased a mansion
Longing to find glory and fame
...

Oh, the young love of long ago,
Spring came suddenly one year
When feelings of such excitement
Intensified a dream so dear.
...

Germany's Mendelssohn
Was the classical one.
Born early nineteenth century
Music lovers' hearts he won.
...

Respect your own locality
As if it were a new Rolls Royce.
Make the area sparkle
Free from Grime, a noble choice.
