The A-Z Of Poems Letter - S

SEASIDE

FROM MY CHILDHOOD DAYS TO THE VERY PRESENT
WHEN I'M BY THE SEASIDE I FEEL HEAVEN SENT
AS THE GLORIOUS SEA AIR FILLS ME WITH PLEASURE
AND I WALK ALONG THE BEACH AT MY VERY LEISURE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SAND IS SO SOFT WHICH LAYS BENEATH MY FEET
AS THE GOLDEN RAYS OF SUNSHINE TURN UP THE HEAT
SLOWLY I WALK TO THE APPROACHING SEA SHORE
AS MY TOES BEGIN TO TINGLE AND CRAVE FOR MORE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BREEZE BLOWS SO SOFTLY ACROSS MY GENTLE FACE
AND MY WALKING INCREASES AT A STEADY PACE
SPLASHING THE FOAMY WATER,I'M WET FROM HEAD TO TOE
AND FEELING RATHER CHILDISH IN THIS SEASIDE SHOW
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BEACH LAY EMPTY NOBODY IN SIGHT
AS I STRIP FOR A SWIM TO MY UTTER DELIGHT
FEELING WET AND COLD I RETURN FROM THE SEA
AFTER SWIMMING IN THE CURRENT,WHICH WAS NEARLY THE END OF ME
------------------------
SPIRITUAL SATELLITES

BORN ONLY TO DIE WE EXIST IN OUR FRAGILE SHELL
ABSORBED BY PAST LIFE EXPERIENCES IF ONLY WE COULD TELL
HOW WE HAVE EVOLVED AND ARRIVED AT THIS PRESENT DATE
NOT THROUGH SEX OR LOVE BUT OUR OWN CHOSEN FATE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SPIRITS DWELL WITHIN GIVING US A NAME AND A VOICE
CONTROLLED BY THEIR ENERGY IT IS NOT OUR GIVEN CHOICE
A SATELLITE CONNECTS OUR SOUL TO THE SPIRITUAL TRANSMISSION
CREATING A FUSION OF THOUGHTS,IT'S NOT A DELUSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PULLING US APART THEY CREATE AN EXTREME DISTRACTION
SPIRITS ON A MISSION THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REACTION
WE EXIST ONLY TO SERVE THEIR EVERY DESIRE
UNTIL HELL'S GATES OPEN AND WE ARE CONSUMED BY THE FIRE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MIND AND SOUL IS DIVIDED UP LIKE MULTIPLICITY
OUR PERSONALITY CHANGED BY THIS SPIRITUAL ELECTRICITY
CHOICES ARE FEW WE OBEY THEM OR GO MAD
AS THEIR VOICES GROW STRONGER TURNING US EVIL AND BAD.

SPRINGTIME
-
The days are getting warmer in this pleasant season
as we bid farewell to winter, well we don't need a reason
to get out and about and enjoy the climate on a sunny day
pushing past our cold winter blues which have outlived their stay
-
The air is filled with blooming flowers
growing rather quickly through the sunshine and showers
as the days grow longer and our spirits are high
one can leave those negative emotions behind with a sigh
-
Love is in the air for both young and old
as new romance flourishes for those hearts so bold
growing with each other with every date
as hearts beat faster and they pine for their mate
-
Nature is budding and the meadows smell sweet
scattering the beautiful daisies at our feet
March brings breezes with a chill
scattering the plentiful daffodil

-
SUMMERTIME
-
Through the alpine air and the cool mountain breeze
I can feel the seasons change as I start to sneeze
My hay fever symptoms return to plague me again
Reflecting on the past summer,days of now and then
-
The sun shines brightly through the sky so clear
Am wishing you were beside me,oh so dear
Days like this are like Medicine for my aching soul
Bringing balance to my life and making it whole
-
The colour of nature reflects the beauty of this land
Bright cheerful flowers perfuming close at hand
The smell of the edelweiss lingers wafting in my face
As my breath smells sweeter and my heart begins to race
-
The sound of a waterfall trickling near to me brings tranquility
And adds to the experience of nature,an affirmation of it's quality
The warmth of the sun starts to caress and touch my skin
I am now content with life at this moment and my world within
-
SUICIDE

TO TAKE ONE'S LIFE IS A DESPERATE MEASURE
BUT ACCEPTING THAT IN LIFE THERE IS NO PLEASURE
IN AN INSTANT ACT ALL THE LIGHTS GO OUT
THE SCREAMING HAS STOPPED,NO MORE DO I SHOUT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IT HAS BEEN PLANNED FOR SUCH A LONG TIME
AND EXISTING BEING UNHAPPY SEEMED SUCH A CRIME
WANTING RELEASE FROM THIS MENTAL PAIN
OR WAITING EVERY DAY TO SLOWLY GO INSANE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUST THE METHOD OF DEMISE TO CONSIDER NOW
BEFORE LEAVING THIS WORLD AND TAKING A BOW
SLOWLY I RUN A BATH AS MY FATE IS SET
NO THOUGHTS TO RECONSIDER OR TO REGRET
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WATER FLOWS QUICKER AND COVERS MY HEAD
BREATHING BECOMES HARDER UNTIL I'M FINALLY DEAD
MY BODY STILL AND AWAITING DISCOVERY
NO CHANCE FOR ME NOW TO MAKE A RECOVERY

------------------------

SWITZERLAND
-
WITH IT'S LAKES AND MOUNTAINS FOR ALL TO SEE
THERE IS A FEELING THAT LEADS TO TRANQUILITY
IMPOSING SCENERY WHICH DICTATES THE LAND
FROM THE VIEWS SO BEAUTIFUL WHEREVER ONE STANDS
-
IN THE DISTANCE ONE CAN HEAR A COWBELL RING
BRINGING WITH IT MUSIC TO MAKE US ALL SING
THERE ARE HERBS WHICH FILL THE AIR THAT SMELL SO SWEET
WALKING EVER SO GENTLY AND FEELING SOFT ON MY FEET
-
APPROACHING THE LAKESIDE I TAKE IN THE STUNNING VIEW
THEN GET READY TO BOARD THE STEAMSHIP WITH A WAITING FEW
LEAVING RATHER SLOWLY MY EXCURSION IS UNDERWAY
ON A BRIGHT AND BREEZY MORNING WHERE THE SKY IS GREY
-
AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION AT THE END OF THE TRIP
I DECIDE TO GO FOR COFFEE ON DEPARTING THE SHIP
TO THE WEST THERE ARE CHALETS PERCHED WITHIN SIGHT
AS DARKNESS DESCENDS AND WITH IT BRINGS THE NIGHT
-
THE FOLLOWING MORNING I AWAIT THE SUNRISE
FOR THE WONDEROUS DELIGHTS THAT WILL FILL MY EYES
SLOWLY I DEPART FOR THE MOUNTAIN TRAIN
HEADING FOR THE STANSERHORN THROUGH THE MIST AND RAIN
-
AT THE JOURNEYS HALF DISTANCE I MAKE MY WAY
TO THE AWAITING CABLE CAR BEFORE I HAVE TO PAY
THE VIEWS ARE SUBLIME AND PLEASANT ON THE EYE
AS I REACH MY DESTINATION A CHILD LETS OUT A CRY
-
PANORAMIC SCENERY AWAITS MY EVERY INSPECTION
WITH THE SNOW TOPPED MOUNTAINS OFFERING MUCH SELECTION
INDULGING MYSELF I STOP AT THE MOUNTAIN RESTAURANT
SAMPLING CAKES AND COFFEE AND FEELING HEAVEN SENT
-
THE COLD NORTH WIND BREEZES THROUGH MY HAIR
AS I WRITE A FEW POSTCARDS WITH MEMORIES TO SHARE
ON RETURNING BACK TO TERRA FIRMA I BEGIN TO REFLECT
WITH THE SWEET SMELL OF EDELWEISS AND SOUVENIRS TO SELECT
-
IN THIS COUNTRY OF INDIFFERENCE WITH STYLE AND GRACE
IT WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE
THE DIVERSITY AND CULTURE IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE
WITH IT'S SOPHISTICATION,PLEASURE AND EFFICIENCY
-
THE GLACIER EXPRESS WILL TAKE YOU FAR AND WIDE
PASSING THE FURKA,GRIMSEL AND SIMPLON ROUTES ON EACH RIDE
WITH GLACIERS ONE EXPERIENCES BEAUTY AT FIRST HAND
IN THIS SCENIC ICE HAVEN WHICH REALLY SHAPED THIS LAND

-
SCHADENFREUDE
-
Society watches over us for most of the time
Whether we are good or commit a crime
There are those who seek fun in their life
To laugh at each other and twist the knife
-
Making fun of each other seems to be common these days
As children are brought up in a variety of ways
No respect or value to life is preached to our young
Whilst the adults will cheat and perhaps take a bung
-
If you have lost your faith in humankind
You are not alone as we will normally find
That one in three people have suffered abuse
From their peers and their enemies when they are let loose
-
We live in an uncertain and cruel detached society
One that grips us with fear and has no sentimentality
The vicious thugs will pick on their prey
Like a Raven bites in to a worm through a crop of hay
-
Whilst walking down a street there are comments and stares
From adults and children with expressions of little care
They scrutinise and hate us with their despising eyes
And wish us harm that is enough to make one cry
-
Without consideration there will be those who dress
To appear like a fashion celebrity and not a sorry mess
For today we need to follow the media's trend
Or reach for the handkerchiefs as we reach our wits end
