Fog

Standard

Saturday 5th May

.

The rest of the country

Might be bathed in sunshine

But down here in Cornwall

The fog clings to the brine

.

Feels a little like me

Stuck beneath a dark cloud

Whilst all around I see

Smiles, laughter in the crowd

.

Out on the horizon

I can see the blue sky

Edging ever closer

My world to beautify

.

Remembering your sweet smile

Dearest, darling Angel son

Foggy Bank Holiday weekend on Porthmeor Beach

Low tide and grey in the harbour

Smeaton’s Pier

Five years

Standard

Wednesday 2nd May

.

Five years ago today

‘Twas on this date in May

.

The first of many operations

To oust the cancerous mutations

.

The journey of my left foot began

All because of that teenage suntan

.

An alien blob on my toe

What else can life, at me throw?

.

A lymphadenectomy

Biopsies sent to pathology

.

Malignant melanoma

Changed my very persona

.

Hats, long sleeves and sunscreen

Oncologists routinely seen

.

A five year clinical drugs trial

Has all of my details on file

.

Continuing to be sun-aware

Particularly with my skin care

.

So here’s to the next five years

I have my hopes, but also fears

.

Thinking of you as always

And all your innocent ways

.

Darling Angel baby

Missing you like crazy

.

Blue skies, but still a cool wind

Looking down on the harbour

My Left Foot – complete with Cinderella’s slipper, but without Daniel Day Lewis, and a lovely compression stocking on the right leg. (2.5.13)

Your smile does brighten

Standard

Monday 30th April

.

Beyond the white clouds

Over the blue horizon

Beneath the sunbeams

Your smile does brighten

A cool, blustery day

With a wind-whipped swell

Where sea-dipping gulls

On the edge do dwell

.

Love you sweetheart

Precious Angel son

Towards Clodgy, choppy seas

Bright, but bitter

Few on the sand in the cold wind

Low tide in the harbour

Quiet time

Standard

Sunday 29th April

.

Such a peaceful, quiet time

Thinking about my Angel

So much to reflect upon

To your memory I’ll stay faithful

.

Always and forever

Moon and back

Son and Angel

Porthmeor with a cold North Easterly wind

Not many venturing into the sea

Choppy harbour

Warmer in the corner

Too rough for the pleasure boats

Sometimes

Standard

Saturday 28th April

.

Sometimes our paths in life

Take us to places

We never dreamt we’d go

Unexpected spaces

Not on our travel list

No time to pack suitcases

A long, lonely road

With no smiling faces

Grief is carried forever

But mem’ries leave traces

That soften the blows

Within Angel embraces

.

Love you poppet

Darling Angel son

Angel voice

Standard

Friday 27th April

.

I thought I heard your angel voice

Come whispering over the ocean

.

Rolling in on the blue-green swell

Filled with much love and emotion

.

Remembering your cheeky words

Bringing such smiles of devotion

.

It is my heart that strains to listen

As the waves break in slow motion

.

Love you sweetheart

Beloved Angel son

A grey afternoon in St. Ives

Waves breaking on the slipway

I was caught out, and got wet!

Back home again

Standard

Thursday 26th April

.

Safely back home again

After two weeks away

The weather’s not so good

But be that as it may

We’ve had such a good time

With your brother each day

Adventures, exploring

We would have liked to stay

But he goes back to work

So ends our holiday

Always thinking of you

Upon the clouds you lay

My darling Angel son

A sparkling, sunshine ray

.

Driving home

The countryside looks so green

Your flowers still going strong
