I have read the first three poems in the top block. There is no doubt you are very talented.I hope we see more of you on here. I will read the others tonight. I love the cracked, paper background.

The background was from a free download that I use to have on my PC that I had back in 2001. Wish I had it now, can't remember where I got it from.
I can't even update my site becasue I've lost all the riginal data that I had. I keep going to geocities site but lose the lot. I must take time out t spend some time going over what I need to do to add my photo's & more recent poems.

I do hope you give us more poems as they are all very good.

Yes please coyleys.

Wow great stuff....I have been writing stuff for about 10-12 years and never thought about a website. You are very talented and in tune with the thought and meaning of the poem.......very, very nice.... can I post you one of mine....

Yes bassplayer, please post me one of yours, would love to read them.
I also have a book that I write all my poems in, I have added a few that I personally like that are by others. You must read this one, I've never cried so much: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=135789&highlight=poem

Thanks for the link....it is an outstanding poem and can mean so much to many different people. My dad died 10 years ago and even though he wasn't around for a large part of my life I do sometimes miss him. My poetry is mainly gospel due to my church life but I have begun to diversify into what I see and happens to me,,,,some interesting ...and some ...well you decide.
So I will post them to you.

This one is called Nice to See You Again.
I had not seen this person for about 2 years even though we always kept in touch by txt. When I saw her......well just read on.


You are in my head
And the reason is just as said
The thought sinks me like lead
As I lay my head upon my bed
A pleasant memory of the day just past
Hoping for communication from you that,
Our last encounter will not be the last
Of your lasting smile
It is lasting a while, and yes
I would walk a long mile
If there could be another like you
Competition would turn men fools
And there would be nothing they would not do!

You are behind my eyes
Should this come as a surprise?
Instinct tells me to employ caution, be wise.
A vision of you remains, as you come through the crowd
Suffused with confidence, your body swaying and proud
Eyes meet, arms open
We connect
I’m stunned
Temporarily numbed
We hold each other caress to embrace
To feel; this feeling is momentarily unreal
We’re face to face
A familiar place; is this where we were?
It’s a haze, a blur
Fingers in greeting interlock and you tilt your head,
Mouth open, your wet pink tongue!
Is this where I belong?
It all fades to red........
You are still in my head.

This is very good bassplayer.:)

Having read 100's of your posts and enjoying them all, this is high praise..thank you very much. I normally read at some functions that I go to with the church ; writing them on the themes, but I have begun to wonder what other people think of them rather than being in a safe setting with people I know.
Once again thanks..

Thought provoking poem bassplayer.
Would love to see more!
Here is another of mine that I haven't been able to put on my website yet;

GROWING OLD
The doctor I saw was too young I'm sure
The new pop song I heard, I've heard it before
I tell my sons they should wear a vest
In the afternoon I need an hours rest
My daughters teacher looks like she should be taught
An argument is no longer to be fought
Modern technology leaves me tired and worn
Yet children with microchips are born
My tipple is no longer alcopops
I no longer enjoy traipsing round the shops
My comforts important than how I look
Rather to bed with a good book
Now I feel I'm turning into my mum
Thats how I know old age has begun.

Hey guess what?
Inspired by the posts on here I have revisited geocities & after 6 years learned how to upload a photo page.
So if anyones interested I am there in all my glory.

I have written over 50 poems to my late partner.
Although she died tragically from cancer some years ago, I still compose poetry for her even though I know she will never read it.
I think that some of my verses may be appreciated by members of the Writers' Group. I have applied to join but not heard anything further yet.

Here is a sample...

Where have you gone? July 2006

The summer days we shared were always warm and bright.
They beckon; faded dreams, like shadows haunting me.
But you are gone away and vanished from my sight,
I stand alone where once we walked in loving harmony.
Where have you gone, my love?

The years passed by, the times we loved together
The many hopes we shared; the days we spent as one,
The happiness we had, we always thought would last forever,
Those days have slipped away;; now evermore, they’re gone
Where have you gone, my love?

Try as I may, I can’t forget the deepest love I had for you.
Those precious golden years; the years that meant so very much.
The things that we enjoyed; those things bring memories anew
I’ll never feel again your warm caress, your gentle touch.
Where have you gone, my love?

I look into the sky and wish in vain to see your face,
I gaze into the mist but you’re no longer there.
I search my heart but only find a void, an empty space,
I wait in constant hope; I want to see you everywhere.
Where have you gone, my love?

I too heeley tyke put my thoughts into verse!
It is a way of letting our feelings out without actually speaking to anyone.
I am quite a private person & find it difficult showing my emotions to people but this is my way of releasing my emotions, you sound the same heeley.
Great poem, if the others are as good as this then you definately have a talent!

Dynamicdebz...
I imagine that you get the same sort of release that I do. It's a way of shedding tears without displaying emotion. It also helps me to come to terms with my loss.

Sorry for the delay in getting your password to you, Heeley tyke. JoeP will PM it to you tonight, or at latest tomorrow. If you have any problems in uploading further items, please contact Mantaspook or myself directly. We will be pleased to assist you.

Your poem is lovely! :thumbsup:

Your emotion is really captured, I enjoyed reading this.

At the risk of becoming a bore, I shall post the following poem I wrote over 30 years ago.
It was the third poem I wrote for Iris and it was one of her favourites.


To Iris, just for being you…. March 1973


Iris of the laughing eyes
Smiling at me as by her side I stay,
And I recall ‘twas just the other day
I met my Iris of the laughing eyes.
And she looks at me.

Iris of the laughing eyes,
Fragrant as the bloom that bears her name.
Holding her close by the flickering firelight flame,
I see my Iris of the laughing eyes
And she looks at me.

Iris of the loving eyes,
Lying together whilst our arms entwine.
Soft tender kisses as her lips meet mine,
I hold my Iris of the loving eyes.
And she looks at me.

Iris of the tiger eyes,
Pouring fierce kisses on her eager face.
Much closer now, caressing every place,
As I become the lover of those tiger eyes
And she looks at me

Iris of the tender eyes,
Lying beside me; our passion spent and over.
So gentle now, since I became her lover,
And I adore my Iris of the tender eyes
And we look at each other!

A very tender and intimate moment for two.......... now shared by many. Wonderful.

How lovely heeley!
The other thing about your poems is you can always look back & remember those moments you are writing about.

I'm pleased that you like my little efforts in the poetry mode.
I shall post an anthology of six of my poems and hope to win some recognition in the monthly vote

I have uploaded some poetry. If you wish to read it go to:

If you like my poetry, there are several that I have written and included in my blog

You may find some of them over-sentimental but they were written from the heart.

This is very good bassplayer.:)

MY friend who I wrote this for has asked me to do series for her about her through different eyes; or from what she has told me. I told her that I have posted "Nice to See You Again" on the forum and she was thrilled. She also said that I could post them ...mmmm, she also told me to be a bit more daring and when I asked her to explain, she did.

She Loves lingerie so she has told me to work on a theme of this. I have a couple of reservations about this but she has assured me that she WANTS me to do this for her. We both know each other extremely well and respect our personal orientations..so she has told me to go for it. She says that I could never shock her!.......yeah;....WOW. Any advice?
