In a sharp fresh breeze,
On a crisp Spring day,
Hand in hand in verdure stroll,
Under lush chirping trees,
...
I shrivel 'neath a scorching sun,
Devoid protection for my skin,
An aching grimace, I'll show none,
Worse burning pain suppurates within.
...
Rejoice today! for life is short my friend,
Seize passing time like gold, whilst you are here,
Dwell in the now, but ne'er on journey's end,
Until such curtain falls, withhold your tear.
...
the blazing sunset
danced on the ocean like flames
and scorched the skyline.

Staunch message to all, delivered with stealth,
A wise old proverb...'Your health is your wealth',
Terrified at the start, thought I wouldn't pull through,
Began penning a verse, for my pulpit adieu,
...
'Twas a balmy evening on that village square,
On the path, a little girl she chalked,
A hopscotch grid, for friends to share,
Innocently unaware she was being stalked.
...
No more to live in earthly mould,
Though siblings not bereft?
Despair in me did clasp it's hold,
My spirit long since left.
...
Last night while in my wandering dreams,
I discovered a pathway to Wonderland,
A wise little fairy at the old wooden gate,
Beckoned me forth with her wand.
...
Dearest Josephine, I'm lost for you,
On this battle torn bloody sea,
The enemy ships are sunk but two,
But my mind not on victory.
...
At first the enemy struck and I felt weak,
Pointed needles stung, future bleak,
A shroud of grey draped hairless skin,
Hiding fear and loneliness deep within,
...
