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
