Daddys Gone

She walked up to him brushed her hand along his arm
leaned over and whispered in his ear
your the one for me dear
I want you to stay close
I want you to stay near

He gave her a loving stare back
he told her that every little thing she does
Makes his world exciting and new
As she flicked her hair across her neck

She couldnt take her eyes off of him
There was the love of her life stairing at her with a smile a silly grin
As silence broke the moment  as if caught up in time
He knew someday he would marry her
And all in life would be fine

This moment they didnt take for granted
They made the most of what they had
Before he was to go and fight for his country
Her freedom and that of the unborn childs dad

Little did they know of this
only time would tell of this tale
When he was at war
she was gone to far
The child would be born before then

As she sent off letters to him to tell him of his child
a telegram came to silence her
The news was bad inside
She held her baby near and whispered in his ear

Your daddys gone been killed by a bomb
What will we do now
Oh what can be done
Dear baby you are your daddys son

 A picture was all she had left
She pinned it to the babies cot
As tears trickled down her face
She remembered their first dating place

As she walked up to him brushed her hand along his arm
As he leaned over and whispered in his ear
His words to her your the one for me dear
I want you to stay close
I want you to stay near

The Dark Knight

I hear the sound of footsteps
No one is behind me
The whistling of the wind
Tares branches from the  trees

Water flows by me
As i walk along this lonely pathway
Something runs past me
Phew ! its only a black cat

Maybe it will bring me good luck
I think to myself
As i look across the field
I'm amazed at the beauty beneath it

The hills almost hit the sky
The sand is piled high
grass grows over the dirt underneath
the ends of it look like a large wreath

The tales are told of a man coming from this place
He rides the black horse over the river
When he comes with his cry
This is something you wont want to hear

But have i ever seen him no not i
Would i ever want to
I wouldnt i reply
So i wonder in amazement

At this pile of hills touching the midnight sky
The man of the night whips his wild horse with delight
He throws himself back as he whips the horses back
His long black coat pulls along over the river tracks

I look to the river its calm and its quiet
Not a whisper or noise
The horseman has lost his fight
He is resting for now
But someday somehow
He will wake up again
And wonder along the hills up high

In my Dreams

The wind it blows me to my knees
I walk against it with a force of me
I cant stop it from doing what it wants
Its too strong for poor little me

A shelter of a coat is thrown around
My body
I feel no more cold
The good stranger
Helped me in my hour of need

I look up at this tall dark figure
Looks back down on me
Thank you for your help
Your welcome with a smile

As i run in to the arch doorway
He stands there in the middle of the road
I turn to see him one last time
But he has disappeared
This shocks me where has he gone?

No one else has seen this man
I begin to wonder why ?
was it a figment of my imagination?
where is this man i sigh ?

As i lay asleep in my bed
My dreams are replaced with images
Of this day i have had
He is so real in my thoughts and mind

I relive this day as if i had never done before
Then comes a knock to my bedroom door
I wake up shocked scared who could it be?
Then comes a voice its only ME

I suddenly wake up from this dream
With my heart beaten strong
And look at the picture on my bedside locker
Of my husband who here no longer

He came to me in my dreams
Leting me know i would be safe
I dont worry or cry
I pray and kiss his picture
Now i know he is here with me
I love him and wish him well

Dont go Yet

This is where it falls
This is how we find ourselves
Lay me on the brown crushed leaves
On the scathered soil

As the sunshine beams through
the darkness of the woods
The blanket of its arms
Cover me from head to toe

It protects me from the falling snow
I wouldnt mind i have no where else to go
This is my home for tonight maybe
I could get used to the shelter of the trees

The bright sky turns to dark
There is a beautiful twinkling of the stars
As a mere lightly lined cloud
 hovers over these stars

The moon smiles at me
and gives me a wink
I smile back at him and bid him goodnite
I pray for a safe and protected night

Then as i turn to close my eyes
I hear a sudden noise
I wonder what it could be
I turn to and to my surprise

Is a image that i havent seen
 for a very long time
The inner little side of me
The lonely lost man

I talk with him for awhile
He assures me i will be alright in the morning
That my head will sorted
Not rattled and torn

But i do not wake up
As i look down at me
I shout and i roar
But he doesnt hear me

Look at me i say
As i try to wake him up
Then i whisper in his ear
That your time is not up

So as he awakes finally from his sleep
He knows he has been visited by his other side of me

Our Special Place

Where are you now
Where have you gone
You went away a long time ago
You were no where to be found

As i close my eyes
that are full of tears
I some how wish i
could turn back the years

We had some fun
We had a blast
Love like this
could not possibly last

If you were here
What would you say
I wonder what you done
The last time you came this way

This is our place
Where no one else goes
Keep it to yourself
Dont share it with her

I wish as time passes by
That i had more time with you
Why did you have to go
Where are you now

I need you dont you know
My heart is bleeding
I beg you to come back
I need you close
Your the one that got away
The one i miss the most

I will come here everyday
I no you will return and not go away
I see the mark you left on this tree
It is there to remind you of me

So as i wait for you to come back
Another piece of writing i will add to the bark
And as the sap seeps from it
The stars that fill the sky will keep it lit

The boy who caught my eye

Lay here on the river bank
The sun it beams down on me
I forget about everything
I even forget to run home for my tea

But the days are long and warm
And the water is cool and fresh
I can feel the flies having a feast
Eating away here on my flesh

I hush them away
So they go on their merry way
God i think to myself
How i love days like this to relax

This is where i come to think
This special place it's grassy banks
are like a huge sink
Swimming in the water
staring up at the clouds go by

Theres not a single sound or noise
not even the sound of a car
The bitting of the minnow
They nip on my tiny toes

The smell of the wild flowers
It reminds me of my grandmothers rose
as i sit and watch in amazement
of the land surrounding me

The young farmers son comes walking by
He tries to ignore me
I pretend i cannot see him
tough im looking through the corner of my eye

Then all of a sudden a wasp comes after me
He shoots down from the sky
This boy of who i do not know
Comes to rescue me

But as i run to get away
He gets stung by a bee
So now the roles are reversed
And i run to him

I suppose i need to help him out
As i stand over him with a silly grin
I call out to his father to come to get his boy
I can tell you this boy is mortified
this embarressment  brings him no joy

His father helps him home
The vinger comes out
the boy turns to his mother and says
Please escort her out

The nerve of him i think to myself
For telling me to go
Sure he is only a stupid boy
Sure what would he even know

As i turn to walk away from the house
He screams the place down
I laugh to myself when i think of it
I couldnt help but run back in and have abit of a skit

He wouldnt talk to me for several days
He made me suffer well
but now at least we have some memories
And some stories to tell

Since we married several years gone by
We remember that day well
It seems fate had our future together
mapped out really well

Emptyness

I sit here on the swing
My heart it falls down low
M y mind begins to wander
I dont know where to go

I feel so empty and isolated
Theres no one there for me
The world is on my shoulders
I look down at my scratched and torn knees

These marks are from where i fell
The puddle stopped me
It caught me well
Running back from the neighbours
The lightening filled the the whole of the house

But now its cleared up
But my mind had not
My eyes are filled with sadness
My head has lost the plot

I sing to forget the emotions
That are running all through me
And hope and pray for a better day
Than this one i would gladly wish it away

These questions fill my head
Will life improve with age
Or will i continue to be captured
Like a bird in a cage

But i know this cant be true
I am no animal in a zoo
I will someday grow and blossom
And be glad of what i knew

So as my feet scrape the dirt on the ground
The birds have filled their nests
my head is clear the moon is there
The cold is biting me
Mothers shouting out come in out of the cold

I am sitting in my armchair now
These are distant memories
I am now old
A story told
