Matt Jarvis Poems

Fear of the unknown
It can really get you down
How do you deal with what you cannot see?
How do you react and how must you be?
...

Big boys don't cry,
Only little girls cry
If you're strong your eyes are always dry.
The opposite is true.
...

Our Feathered Friends
Written by Matt Jarvis 18th April 2020

Many shapes and sizes
...

When I first met you and Bridget,
We seemed to connect,
We bought drinks for each other,
Our friendship was set.
...

Walks we love become familiar,
Walks we do every day
Some people ask, ‘don't you get bored? '
I always reply, 'No way! '
...

The Old Man In a Coat.

You can stand in one place a thousand times,
And look to the same point a thousand more.
...

We are but small.

They say that bullies never prosper.
Sometimes that feels like a lie.
Often a phrase for effect.
We are diverse and do not tolerate bullying.
...

Mindless to the extreme
Enabling bullying to happen
To happen once and then again
Remorse just never shown.
...

10.

Beds are a place of warmth and comfort
Beds are a place to rest, to reinvigorate ones soul,
Beds are for sharing, for tender moments,
Maybe sex or hugs.
...

When the sun shines down it feels so warm,
Hugging you like a parent would.
When the clouds come down, it's feels so heavy.
Oppressive as if the hug has become a squeeze.
...

One day at a time.
One small foot after one small foot
One small step after one small step.
No giant leaps.
...

Life is a rollercoaster.
Peaks, troughs and level sections.
Levels are the calmness
Peaks can be too high.
...

Protect the NHS
By Matt Jarvis 29/03/2020

Protect the NHS,
...

You like flying high, you were born to fly.
It's not just about your job,
It's you inside.
Strong, positive, determined.
...

Birds singing. An orchestra of feathers.
Cars no longer passing by.
A telephone ringing, a short trill or pot black.
The clouds move silently by, no planes to see or hear.
...

The Best Poem Of Matt Jarvis

Fear Of The Unknown

Fear of the unknown
It can really get you down
How do you deal with what you cannot see?
How do you react and how must you be?
‘Carry on regardless' or stop and hide away,
Stay out of the outdoors or carry on and play?
Be safe and keep inside,
run away and simply hide?
The job you love in danger,
The life you know much stranger.
Fear of the unknown,
Never seen whilst you have grown.
Fear of the unknown,
It can really get you down.
Stay strong and keep on fighting,
Ignore what the media is writing.
Cling to your loved ones dearly,
This is a blip, surely, clearly.
Fear of the unknown,
It will end in time, subside,
Until then, keep going with pride.
