Marilyn Shepperson Poems

Where I was I do not know
But I saw him standing there
Still time did ebb and flow
Yet time had no meaning there
...

The stump of a horse chesnut tree
Sits in the long grass beside a path
That has simply been made
By countless numbers of passing feet
...

A savage cry hit the air
Rumbling away like distant thunder
She had smelt a male cat approach her lair
So she gave him a warning, a promise
...

Ralph had a horrible nightmare
In which a demon was chasing him
But when he told his friends at the pub
They just laughed and said, 'It's only a dream'
...

It starts high up in the mountains
Coming down as a rivulet
Till it reaches the granite wall
And comes over the lip
...

I had been sent to write a report
Upon the old music hall
Having been allowed inside the dilapidated building
I sat alone in the front of the stalls
...

Come with me. along a path I know
That runs beside a deep narrow river
That in places is only a stream
Into which twiggy alders and willows
...

The old apothecary's shop is a wonderous place
With boxes, tins and jars filling the shelves
And an battered chest of drawers full of marvellous smells
There's one bay window in which stand
...

Do any of us truly wear our own face
Whether we are indoors among those closest to us
Or in or out among those we think we know
And out among those we definately do not
...

We talked together for hours and hours
And put the world to rights
We walked along to my home together
And together, spent the night
...
