Margaret Cox Poems

Haunting deep memories of a dear love now lost
Distant thoughts to one side now carelessly tossed
But the mind retains the warm feel of sweet recall
Explosive imagination grows, like an illusion ball
...

It is the haunting silence which dims the eyes light
And pupils darken to match the menacing night
Shadows lurk around as the mind conjures up fear
Deep thoughts run riot to bring danger so near.
...

The saddest story I have to tell
Of a time when things were not very well
...

When all hope seems lost, and reason has gone
And minds are locked on to what went wrong
Just hang in there, smile and hold on really tight
Trust, have faith, believe you will see the light.
...

Strolling dreamily along to post a letter
I was pleasantly surprised, what could be better
Pure white blossom adorned an avenue of trees
Surrounded by a humming myriad of bees
...

Patience is a virtue, or so they say
Many are happy to play things that way
...

‘Tis the waiting heart that smiles beauty ignites
And misty eyes clear as darkness turns to light
...

She stood alone, on a platform now eerily deserted
As the train rocked and rumbled and noisily taunted
The winds huffed and puffed and whistled their play
As menacing dark clouds wept tears to grey the day
...

It’s a never-ending road that the lonely man treads
Looking neither left nor right or turning any heads
He has no thoughts, no dreams, devoid of all hope
No feelings or care, no longer knowing how to cope.
...

All through life we seek to find
Peace, contentment – not far behind
...
