My fight

Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and say,

“Is this me?”

And sometimes many face their demons 

As the misperceived see ghosts That fight the Devil that will eat at your soul 

Until your lies destroy your strength,

Belittle you; 

You’re  weak, no belief. 

As I stand on the breach Hanging by a thread,

My number’s up; my choice,no other. 

I awake as if I had a superpower.  

I’ll be Mr Hindsight, but I know I'm the coward

Who hid in the trenches in World Wars One & Two. 

But I cannot just lay in my coffin. Life goes on - a journey on a path,

As I fight for who I am

To earn the respect of the friends I have.

The Last Post

“The Last Post” by Rob Holt A German Broom in Bugloss fields - A Burning Bush with a red sea of salad.  As false winds Foxtail, Crowfoot wallows in mud And Lords and Ladies cross in zig-zag trenches.  Jack-by-the-Hedge peeps out at the Black Horehound, While Cats Ears listen for Creeping Gromwell.  A Bugle announces that Greater Burdock has won the Kingcup.  Scentless Gypsy Weed weaves through the Soldiers-and-Sailors To the Heather-clad mountain of Jack-in-the-Pulpit.  Hearts Ease as dead souls whisper “Forget-Me-Not.”

I can't sleep, it never stops. All these questions and poems and rhymes inside the windmills of my mind.

A August morning

The heat!  I can fry an egg on a path in Turkey  On an August morning.  The warmth of a fire on a cold, bleak day; The feeling as I soak up Vitamin D.  The memory of the bath is soothing.  With a weeping willow all is joy.  I remember the colour of the everlasting sand.  On my finger a snowflake crystallises, Particles of mass shine down upon me.  A dry fire of ash.  Now life begins -  A path of ice is a faultless cover on a pond.  A Polar Bear wanders in starvation.  With a spring in my step I ride the globe of life.
