Thoughts.... Just thoughts.

Three copper pennies standing in a row
Spinning round and round, both sides merge 'n' flow
Betwixt front and back, false image there does gleam
Reminds, what you see, is not what it seems

Ah! Place me here
Amongst stars infinite
Without loneliness I would be
Drowning in their splendor
At one in their company
Content and at peace...

Star Seeds

My eyes observed the grass just now
At sleep 'neath winter's shroud
Glistening there alive with colour
Cosmic heaven~Earth abound

A Moment's Thought
#simoncollinspoet
#Hope

I could see him through the window
As clear as dawn's approach
Pane of time reflective there
Of him the younger self

Can he see what he's become
Or just I perchance, gazing back
Both of us betwixt locked age
Two moments in time's presence

The second line came 'fore the first some few minutes stirred by the gentle chants wafting 'round my room....

There are
So many drifting souls
Similar to me
Yearning for that someone
Loving
Company
Am I just a cheat
Throwing my net out wide
In the hope to capture heart
In this soul~filled brimming tide?

Someone Somewhere

I wonder if there’s someone
Someone out there just for me
Someone who wonders just the same
Wondering where I could be

Two alone drifting souls
Aimlessly wandering by
Until such time our wandering
Brings us side by side

The garden's like a storybook
Reflecting nature's way
The cycle of life's journey
Leave it free to live astray...

Whilst compiling a short anthology of poetry I came a cross this....
Oh Universe, have I been subconsciously mourning for that long?
#simoncollinspoet #poetry #poem #poet #mourning #writer #writing

Oh how silent this life is
This life, this likeness to being
Conversations one way
Or two wave lengths at a time
Never meeting with feelings given

How one screams, yet none are heard
In this vessel of loneliness sea
This in contentment one writes these words
Acceptance of being me

Inspired by Meg & H.G. Wells....

They were told to make a wish
- BUT WARNED -
The path was not pathed with gold
For each dream desired
Comes with tattered transpire
Good and bad, hand in hand with one's dream

Gravestone states equality
Under sodden layer, contracted
Money, status, colour or creed
As one we merge created

How did I end up here?
Lost and overthrown....

It didn't cast a shadow
For sun had turned black hot
Charred, griddled, dried-out!
Life had had its lot

Cycle, Mother Nature's aim
Recharging 'tomic yarn
Reforming Universe's structure
To live and shadow again

Clearing one's head....
#simoncollinspoet

Oh, how close, to the edge, I've walked myself
Those butterflies, slicing there, at the gut
Anxiety's wings, beat, churning life's sea
Yet, mast a tatters, I sail on, I sail on

There was an awkward shuffling
As Rumpole dropped a clanger
'If it pleases you my honour'
Responding to Judge's ire

Yes, with a swift return
Famed lawyer turned his indirectly
From sarky words to those above
To complementing sobriety

White rose and bud
Stand over Jack's laid rug
Observing all he reaps
As he bites and takes his pick

Yet princess there doth bloom and glow
A warmth unseen but felt
A spirit strong she radiates
Mother Nature's Spring slept quilt

The house was too crowded
Not by people, belongings or love
But by the cold residing there
Resident for far too long

Abandoned house it was stood there
Neglected, unwanted, unloved
Left to rot inside to out
Not one did cement a care

Snow Crunched Windows

Snow crunched icy windows
North London misty day
Trees bereft of leaves
Santa's been on his way
Now the gifts are given
New year is on horizon
Time of hope emerging
Winter lullabies Spring's formation

The Christmas Madness Poem
#simoncollinspoet
23 December 2024
From the moment I walked out the door there was chaos all around me! Thank the Universe everything is done, away from people, hibernating with the Bears 🐻🐻🐻🎄💖🎄

We woke on the other side
And found it was a dream
Thrust back into reality
One's words unread, unseen

I've won again....
#simoncollinspoet

He tore a page from the book
Where inscription had its offering
Christmas gift of long ago
Now surplus to shifting shelving

Blanked of verse, be gifted to
Some other one's collection
Through charity shop or online bay
To receive a new inscription
