New Year reflection
New Year yet I am well behind in my poetry.
Christmas and New Year has come and gone like a book that's opened and closed.
Nothing seems to change yet time never stands still this life.
As the year ends it's another chapter in your life that doesn't always change at that time.
A new year and a year old to come then a new year becomes an older, closes then there's a new year again until the day we died.
It's so unknown why we are born as we are going to die.
When? Is a question of time? 1.1.2014
Now I need to sort out my life
The years are rolling by.
Like us all I am not getting any younger but I only hope I'm getting wiser.
Time is running so fast but life is too short to waste.
There’s nowhere to run nowhere to hide.
I can't affront to waste any time but without meaning to that's what I seem to do, I must be going out of my mind.
Long before now I have for loves that were blind, in time I will see if I have got it right this time. 1.1.2014
You make me feel
When I speak to you on the phone and face to face, you make me feel so special.
You just have something that no one has and had.
You bring butterflies in my stomach.
You fill my mind with far too many loving thoughts.
You wouldn't believe how much in 2014, I want to see a little more of you than I did in 2013.
It's almost a year since I started chatting to you on the disabled dating site, nearly year my dear.
Nothing this life runs without any fears my dear.
Let's hope with you I will see my life and the world more clearly my dear.
My mind never stops thinking and wondering when I will see you again but whenever it is you’re worth the wait.
When each of our dates have been over and you go back on the train, my eyes fill up with tears like the sea.
This is what you do to me.
I miss you so much but if we wait long enough the time will be right in time.
This is how you make me feel; to me you are worth waiting for. 2.1.2014
Good 2013 / Beginning of feelings
I don't think anyone believed at the time that I wasn't looking for love.
I was feeling very low at that time but that wasn't the reason I ended up falling in love.
I started chatting to you on the dating site but to start with I saw you as a friend, then my feelings became strong.
Love was the last thing on my mind.
I spoke to a few people before you; they weren’t my kind of friends never mind lovers.
With what I had gone through before you, love was the last thing on my mind.
But after our second date in May, my feelings got stronger and I have never looked back since. 2.1.2014
2013 reflections / weather and life
We had a fair amount of summer last year.
We can only hope for the same if not this summer in 2014.
It was a change after the washout of rain summer 2012.
I was expecting a heavy winter end of 2013 into 2014.
We don’t get white Christmases often now like before the 2000s.
The 2000s have been full of fireworks and storms with so much rain it’s been hard to keep warm.
No wonder we depend on central heating and bills are running high. 2.1.2014
Last day of 2013
I can only be honest that I haven't had a bad year that year.
Life has ups and downs for everyone not just you and me.
In my mind I had a good year thanks to you and my career.
Hopefully now it's 2014 things can only get better.
Feelings can make you hope and expect too much when you're in love.
The last day of 2013 seemed hard to close the chapter or book.
But I hope 2014 is even better. 2.1.2014
The way I feel about you
Love is you and me.
You and I loving each other is what counts.
We are our own people.
We love each other in every way.
At first I saw you as a friend, never a lover.
But my feelings grew stronger.
I love your personality, humour, but most of all I love you. 21.2.2014
We need to get to know each other more
We need to get to know each more.
We need to start dating more.
My feelings like yours are getting stronger.
Even though we are far apart we still need to see each other.
You have given happiness in the time we have spent together. 22.2.2014
I thought I had nothing and everything
I thought I had nothing and everything before I knew you.
My life has changed for the better since I met you.
The only thing I miss is holding one another.
I will travel miles to see you to love you. 22.2.2014
Love is
We all think we know what love is but we don’t until we grow old together.
Life goes on with or without love.
I love you for you.
You are always in my heart.
Soon we will be in each other’s arms. 23.2.2014
My love was blind
My love was once blind.
Everyone could see what I couldn’t see.
It took me time to realise he wasn’t the man I thought.
Now I feel nothing for him anymore. 23.2.2014
Weather reflection
I was woken by the singing wild wind.
Rain and wind seem like a big thing.
Hot summers have long gone.
Cold winters yet to come.
The weather has a mind of its own just like us. 23.2.2014
I thought this was the beginning of the end
My feelings were too strong to walk away.
He knew how much I loved him.
When he hurt me again I couldn’t cope anymore.
He played games with my mind. 24.2.2014
There’s no perfect life
There’s no perfect life.
We have good days, bad days, happy days, sad days.
You are far too special to not have in my life.
You have changed my world. 24.2.2014
Meaning of poetry / writing / words
Meaning of poetry is words.
Writing is another way of saying what is on your mind.
We can talk, think, write forever.
Truth is written from the poet’s mind to the reader. 24–25.2.2014
Depression
Depression is a feeling with or without reason.
We all have good and bad days.
Life is not easy to understand.
We all experience ups and downs. 25.2.2014
John Keats reflection
John Keats inspired me.
His poetry made me write my own words.
My writing is thoughts from my mind. 25.2.2014
Final reflections
I don’t miss you anymore.
I thought I was blind to love.
The pen can’t always write fast enough to the mind.
Everyone has words inside them.
Stand up and be yourself. 25.2.2014
Government and appeals reflections (2014)
I don’t like writing about government.
But voices need to be heard.
Disabled and ill people need support.
Appeals and benefit changes cause stress and anxiety.
People are being pushed into debt and crisis.
This system puts vulnerable people at risk. 14–15.3.2014
