I felt at peace that bright summer day
As I lay in the shade of the big oak tree
...
The night was cold and windy.
I heard a loud knocking at my door
...
I met her on a ferry crossing
On a bright summer day
She stood at the bow rail
Her flowing hair in disarray
...
Feasting on the bodies from the Nuclear blasts.
Those dreadful rats had quite a repast
...
Goodbye, goodbye, noisy city
I have had enough of your crowded streets,
...
The taxi stood waiting at the curb
As he stood at the front door
hugging his little daughter
“Please don’t go, Daddy! , she cried, tears
...
Farewell, Farewell, noisy city, I have had enough of your crowded streets, pollution and incessant babble.
I shall go into the Woods and build myself a cabin amongst the chirping morning birds and summer flowers.
...
When I look into my mother's eyes
I see Love, pure, unselfish Love.
...
The Lighthouse stood like a sturdy sentinel
On the windswept hill
Casting it's long, slanting shadow across the
Bright field of yellow daisies
...
As I gaze at the sinking sun I send with it all my uncertainties, my fears and my insecurities.
The brilliant colours wash away the daylight and with it all of my fears and problems of the day.
...
The mist of sleep
Faded as I was awakened
By the sweet chirping
Of the morning birds
...
The light of a new day
Spread it’s wings
Over the proud land
With it’s wide open fields
...
As the evening beams
Of twilight faded into the dark recesses of night
...
As I sit on this stump of driftwood
Looking out to sea
I am tired, oh, so tired!
All is nought but desolation.

I was born in British Guiana, now (Guyana,) South America, and was always creative as far as I can remember. I was selected as a semi-finalst in the International Society of Poets Annual Poetry Contest in Orlando, Florida (2004) I also won the Editor's Choice Award for Poetry in,2004,2006,2007 and 2008 respectively. I also find writing good therapy for both both mind and body. In 2007 I received a Certificate of Accomplishment for honors in poetic knowledge and creativity as published by the International Society Of Poetry and was published in the compendium 'The Best Poems and Poets of 2007'. I recently (July2008) was awarded a Bronze Medal and a Crystal Award Trophy for Outstanding Poetry at the International Society of Poetry Convention and Symposium in Las Vegas.)
A Touch Of Heaven
I felt at peace that bright summer day
As I lay in the shade of the big oak tree
Listening to the whispering of the quiet brook
Softly treading it's way to the wide open sea.
With the rustling of the leaves pushed by the soft summer breeze
whispering in my ear,
I watched in delight a delicate, golden winged butterfly
Flitting from Flower to flower in the cool open air
And my heart then opened to the might of the Creator and the
Everlasting beauty of His creations.in display
And felt a touch of Heaven on that soft floor of leaves that bright
Summer day.
