The very word itself is inspiring; it conjures up in my mind a world of infinite wonders that I can only marvel at.  Wonders that my head remind me that nature does not revolve around me, but around a vast universe of possibility.  For whether I acknowledge it or not, Mother Nature and all her diverse energies will continue to exist long after I have evaporated into the sand of earthly time.  She will continue to vibrate at her own frequency ever evolving and enhancing her beauty until she metamorphosis into the star she is meant to be.

The poems and writings on this site and within my books are purposely simple and are meant as building blocks to deeper thoughts (yours not mine).  They are reminders of things that in time have been overlooked or forgotten.

Please accept these little ramblings as signposts to the world you might have left behind in the innocence of yesterday

Let Me Be P.O.M. Oct

Let me be the light
that illuminates the room
Let me be that promise
that things will come right soon
Let me be your smile
that jumps from face to face
Let me dry your tears
so they don’t leave a trace
Let me hold you tightly
to ward away your fears
Let me whisper softly
that your way will soon be clear
Let me take your problems
and make them mine alone
Let me give you friendship
that the world itself can clone
Let me be your partner
as you wander through this life
Let me be your Angel
right here just out of sight

An Unguarded Moment, Inner Circle & The Wave

More Poems From My Archive

An unguarded moment

No hint of a smile

The camera it captures

The real you for a while

I know if you see it

You wont be best pleased

But really it has caught you

While you are at ease

The false smile that masks you

Each hour of the day

Has somehow gone missing

As your thoughts go astray

Your hands clasped together

As if in a prayer

Talking to Angels

Who’ve come for your cares

The frown on your forehead

Like scripture conveys

This surely has been

Just one of those days

The daydream is over

The smile it returns

But somewhere inside you

Your soul it does burn

Burn for a promise

You left in the past

That’s this visit to earth

This time is your last

INNER CIRCLE

YOU ARE IN MY INNER CIRCLE

THE ONE THAT’S FORMED WITH LOVE

IT GATHERS ALL AROUND YOU

WITH PROTECTION FROM ABOVE

IT HOLDS YOUR VERY ESSENCE

AND FEEDS YOUR SOUL WITH CARE

FOR YOU’RE IN MY INNER CIRCLE

AND ALWAYS WILL BE THERE

The Wave

I am a cresting wave

That forms way out at sea

Searching for that place

Where I am meant to be

Once I am in motion

I have no brakes to stop

So I roll in constant movement

With foam across my top

My power is enormous

My strength beyond control

As I wander around this ocean

So deep so vast so cold

Just longing for that moment

When I will come to rest

Upon a shore of beauty

That ends my roaming quest

    I always find your poems so refreshing and indeed relaxing. When life becomes a whirl and gets too fast to cope with I just ‘fix’ myself by reading what you bring forward. Indeed a great tonic for me. Thank you Phil x

I have a firm belief in angels and feel them around me all of the time, especially when I need an extra bit of help in making decisions

Also, as I get older, I have a much better appreciation of the beauty of Mother Nature and enjoy nothing more than to sit in my garden and let her overwhelm me with her many gifts

The poems and writings on this website are reflections of my thoughts on various subjects, as they wander through my mind
