Just Words
Like H and Tiger, Just Words, a collection of poems, is an emotional roller coaster.
From the beautiful ‘Kiss’ to the soul searching ‘The Beast’. Perhaps ‘Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel’ about power, or ‘The Beach’ written on holiday in Barbados.
Plus the adventures (in your imagination) of Meeky and Meegle.
And several short stories.
This is the first poem for Just Words
The Beach
As she’s sitting on the plane
Only her smile betrays the strain
Of the flight that is before her
So she nestles down to sleep
Knowing it will keep
The demons still within her
As she steps out of the plane
She starts to live again
As the heat cocoons her
Her senses seek the sea
Where she knows she’ll be
Cleansed of all within her
Wendy goes down to the beach
Extends her arms to reach
The stars that shine above her
They greet a child they know
They caress the child below
The planets move around her
The sea invites her in
Warm water laps her chin
Dolphins swim to greet her
Down and down they dive
Her body comes alive
Their grace bestowed upon her
She swims farther out to sea
Renewing her decree
That life must live within her
Her body feels a thrill
She knows they always will
Be waiting there to love her
She stays for quite some time
Till everything is fine
And the peace returns within her
So now it’s just once more
She goes down to the shore
Gives thanks to all before her
Wendy goes down to the beach
Extends her arms to reach
The stars that shine above her
They greet a child they know
They caress the child below
The planets move around her
