You came over and kissed me made me feel whole,
I can still see this like it happened yesterday,
Your last breath i kissed you as you passed away,
Be at peace my love and wait patiently for me,
I just hope i told you i love you enough before you were set free.

I want to be like you dad,
Love him more than life itself,
How do i tell him that I'm half mad,
I hope he has love,happiness and wealth.
To stare at him asleep late at night,
So peaceful,beautiful and serene,
He could easily be bipolar that gives me a fright,
Whether he his or not remains to be seen.
Scared to he'd blame me and never want to talk,
He is everything i wished for and so much more,
He might not want to share with me even go a walk,
I just know i love him to my very core.

Amazed to read that everyone who's put a poem on here is going to have something published. I;ve only written one poem in my life and it's on here, which makes me 1 for 1!
Seriously though, my one went on a bit and I know that magazine space can be precious so please, feel free to not bother printing my one to make way for more prolific poets!
Am enjoying lurking and reading this thread :D
Tear in my eye reading that, sure your a great dad Matt, and son's love a great dad no matter what;)Quote:

Corr...sounds great! Not sure about the drip butties though. I would have come but I could well have been hanging about in Hebden near Burnsall if I hadn't been put right by TurboTom last night...kind of like the time I nearly went to Melmerby near Hawes instead of Melmerby near Ripon for a (coughs so you don't really hear it) road race.:( Luckily I found out there were no entries on the day and so didn't bother cycling there and later found out that I'd have cycled for an hour in the wrong direction when it was only down the road. Why am I telling you this? I do not know. I think I had too much vino. I did like the Yeats earlier and I really liked the one about the hare....ramble ramble ramble...hicQuote:

Just know that your love keeps me calm,
I feel such a disgrace have nowhere to hide my face,
Why love me in the first place,
I've never been good to you even though i'm always true,
Why should you keep with me instead of someone new,
I'm doing all i can just a flawed and tired guy,
I don't know what you see in me all i can do is try.

Thanks Hes. What tunes did you play during the jam session as i am interested in your music taste. Or was it completely freestyle.
wine helps the chat flow
alas it does not help this
merry flautist blow
Aha Jethro Tull !!!.
4 and a half hours and about 4500ft, plodded round at steady pace cos i want to get out tomorrow and get my climbing up to 10000ft for the week.Quote:

we played all sorts but tonight we did some Radiohead, Snow Patrol, Bright Eyes, some of my mate's songs he wrote (he is a singer/songwriter and a poet), Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkle and a few others. It is a strange old band. We rearrange the music and play it on instruments such as didgeridus, cello, sax, I play flute, guitars, keyboards, appalacian dulcimers, viola, drums, sitars etc etcQuote:

I have the zip up version of the OMM smock and the same pants. Wore the both when marshalling a race in floods and I was toasty and dry. Never worn the pants since.Quote:

I'm telling Hes with all your talents in different medias surely a multimedia installation by you would be brilliant if costs were doable you have such talents.
No worries mate, no food at Edale though:(Quote:

Goodnight all, fading fast
I shall have to get my Bear Grylls kit out in case there is an animal i can dispatch on the way round if i get hungry.
Glad you forgive me but I am the dumb one that can only play whistles and flutes (and a Tibetan singing bowl) the others are the multi-instrumentalists...do you still forgive me? :(Quote:

Night night.
Good night Hes.

I think he is lurking but he could be slumped over his keyboard snoring away...Quote:
