My Poems and ones written by others that I enjoy
(From The Book FROM MY HEART INSIDE MY HEAD By Glynis Smy)
By Glynis Smy
The moment I gave birth to you
I knew the bond was strong
for you alone belong to me
You are my personal thoughts
only I know what you think
I can push you to the limits
and take you to the brink

Orange Tree Delight
By Glynis Smy
Golden orbs hang like jewels
Glowing like lamps in the night
Colour, vibrant, flesh so sweet
Round sumptuous fruit, so bright
Fragrant pungent flowers
Creamy, bloom, perfume heady
Oh how I gather with great delight
When your citrus treasures are ready

Forbidden Love by Norma Khouri
This book made me thank God I was born a Western woman
It is a true story of a Muslim girl and her friend. It is a tribute to that friend and is written to highlight an ancient tradition …Honour killing…killing women who are believed to have brought dishonour to the family.
I was so moved I wrote a poem in tribute,
My World stood still as I read your book
My eyes could no longer see
A woman lost for love
A modern tragedy
A violent act of honour crime
Must not allow those killed to be forgot
We must oppose this violent act
To continue IT CANNOT!
Women who understand
The rules they must follow
Must teach us all
Of how men in glory wallow
To take a life is not for love
It is an act of power
We must remember this
Day by day, hour by hour.
Take away the power and a weak man lies
So we must speak out
Before another woman dies

Your eyes look down, searching
You move behind a tree
I watch you from a distance
Knowing you are scared of me.
Your starving body stumbles
Your skinny legs ache
A morsel you do seek
Dried bread, rotten meat or stale cake.
Your eyes are full of sadness
Your future’s not so bright
You have not found a friend to care
Nor a bed to rest your head tonight.
You need a decent meal to eat
And water to quench your thirst
I watch with sadness
Hoping I can get to you first.
There’s every chance you will runaway
When I reach out my hand to you
I know why you are in this state
And what I need to do
You did not reach the goal
Your master had in mind
You were taken on the hunt
And sadly left behind.
My four legged friend
I’ve got you
And happily take you in
And when you play with others
I swear you wear a grin
You reward me daily with your tail
It wags for all the day
You give me pleasure friend
When I see you play

I wish you could tell me what’s inside
Why my Father has been forced to hide
I ask flesh of the man, his face I know
The mind that belongs – where did it go?
Are you safe in your memories?
Why are loved ones your enemies?
Your carousel mind goes around
Why do you forget new things when found?
Each action you take is confused and slow
I’m saddened and I want to know
Where has your mind taken you today?
I want to rescue you and show you the way
I watch, I know sometimes you forget me
You struggle with a tied down memory
I am here Dad and I’m still inside
The daughter Alzheimer’s chose to hide
