Helen Wilby Poems

Like a thief in the night
You came
Creeping silently
Stealing all that was most precious
...

You drift around the edges
Of my living
A haunting
No Holy man can lay
...

I took my glasses off today
Only for a moment
Because the bright light hurt my eyes
It will take some getting used to
...

Summer time
Some time
Dozy days
With you and the willow trees
...

Too Complicated

Burning flaming fire fire fire
Walking on that high highwire
...

We went walking down the dusty road
All the way to the barbed wire end
40 days and 40 nights
Lost in the wilderness my friend
...

I am the whisper from the corner
Of the darkening room
I am the shadow that flickers
Against the deepening gloom
...
