Shelley Jones Poems

I've learned
To fight
To fit in
With the world
...

I want to be with you always
I cannot stand being apart
Thus speaks my heart
...

I dream 
And feel
Your heart's gaze
And smile amazed
...

Sunlight, you arrived!
I was beginning to think you had died.
Now sun, I need you to shine
All the time, so we can keep skipping in rhyme!
...

Apologies Gemima,
I opened the wrong box of Roses,
Forgetting it was Lent
And that we were off chocolate.
...

Paintbrush dipped in water,
Only for a second,
Creates roller coaster
Of blue swirls that beckon
...

5am and all asleep.
Door softly unlatched,
We silently leave.
Soon footsteps on grass.
...

Where the river meets the sea,
I sail my paper boat.
It twist and turns
Through eddy currents,
...

When I miss you, I take a walk.
I stroke the petals of all the flowers
Then pluck one to walk with me,
Caressing it as your skin.
...

Is it again time
For the blank page of silence?

The black shapes on white,
...
