Poems

As soon as I saw you My heart skipped a beat I didn't know what to do It was the hospital heat Daddy drove you home On that first night Mummy didn't want to be alone And the hospital was too bright The first night you did cry But settled well between each feed I left for home and said Bye Glam-ma's chance for a sneaky read I soon came back though For a couple of weeks I wanted time to go slow For all those extra peeks I need to go again soon Back to the sea Near to a sand dune Where one day you will visit me I will be back near Christmas To see you for a while And raise a glass To my new Grandsons first smile K.J.Oakes aka Kizzy York Nov 2nd,2016

Dedicated to Sue I saw you standing there When you felt all alone And there was no one to care Or no love to be shown I was with you then I am with you still You are good with a pen And I will show you my will You are very precious to me I have so much in store for you, Sue I have your heart and that is key Take my hand, I will show you what to do Fear not, my child I will lead you on Your future will not feel so wild And your past is now gone In a little while you will see The treasures I have in store For all eternity Take my hand Sue and follow me With love - The Holy Trinity Copyright Kizzy York aka Karina Oakes November 29th, 2016

Tears fresh, as if only yesterday Hence, many years have gone Since you passed on I miss you still It has made me ill Love entwined with the passing of time Time is still Time ceases Time, no more Time without you Days whiled away Twiddling thumbs Feeling numb Don't know what to say or do Life is so empty without you And yet Eternal hope springs nigh That - when I die Tears will dry as no longer will I be Without you Copyright Kizzy York aka Karina Oakes July, 2011

She awoke stared into the fire It was not blazing embers smouldering to a dim glow She had been in this cave so long Should she remain or should she go ? Light from the entrance streaming in Her eyes had grown dim Should she follow him ? Inside her heart he was beckoning Inside her soul, her spirit, Come hither with me Fear gripped In trepidation, she waits heart pounding in Her chest She knew he only wanted the best But, this cave she had been in such a long time Slowly, she got up Stumbled to the entrance dark was her way the light guiding her She gripped the cave entrance tight All she felt was fright She knew she had to step out Into the unknown Light so bright Her hands shielding her face It seemed so much safer inside the cave She tripped, stumbled crawled out her cave Warmth of the sun Warmer than the fire A different kind of warmth on her face She looked up Saw budding flowers Spring must be here The drabness of winter must disappear

Death draws nigh to thee Your soul gone to a lost eternity Pride made you lose your way Never to return to the brighness of day By not returning to your wife You ended up losing your life She said,  'Come with me, Honey' 'We shall make lots of money' Little did she know-you would deceive her aswell Like you deceived us all Me, exes, lovers, you were the one having a ball. But the good Lord needed your games to stop I was the right woman for the job Till Death do us part-you said The Lord has a legal right to your life Till Death it is then I have remained single Not yet ready to mingle Obeying my Lord now Whole - heartedly Waiting for the Death Knell That will drag your soul to Hell My life-God will restore Bring me safely to shore But wait, it's not too late Jesus draws near It's not over yet You TRULY recieve him at your last Breath.

Welcome to Trinity, their 10th anniversary If I had only known before I would have walked quickly through their door They have not been quick to grow But they continue to sow From their meals to their Tea and Cake The ladies love to bake They do all this for you As a way of showing Gods love to you Do not hesitate, or leave it too late Be sure of your entry into the heavenly gate If you are not sure how, ask one of us And we will gently lead you to Jesus

Your mess was my mess too Till I fell out with you Or you with me It was hard to see But, let's not argue Cause now I have a room with a view You left, you see To a woman with plenty Leaving your mess with me Some new, some old As I was sorting through My house sold So that's why you see I have my room with a view As after you left me I sold my house And as quietly as a mouse I went to live by the sea I may grow old alone With none to pick a bone But rather that, a cosy fire Living with no liar Put my feet up With a nice China cup Think quiet thoughts Uncluttered Without you I am enjoying my room with a view Beside the sea Where I have always wanted to be Dreams do come true With or without you Hope you are glad I no longer get mad I have no need to Shh - now go - Shoo I would like to read A book or two !

Bet you have been told The house is sold You thought you would be there till you were old But alas not, I will have the lot You never put your share in Nor put things in the bin At least there's no more din I will live by the sea, that's where you will find me If you ever change your mind Realize I was really kind You got me all in a bind Come back again, between us both We will sort through the pain.

I was weak, you were strong You are the God who carried me along Though feeble and weak Tears falling down my cheek You said as I crossed the ridge Ahead was a bridge I needed to cross You are my boss - who had hung on a cross You died for me at Calvary Freed me from the Bondage of Slavery I crossed the bridge New life awaits One day I will enter those heavenly gates.

We all try to do our best But we all end up in The Chapel of Rest Some young, some old Some their stories never to be told Some young and teary Some old and weary Some with a song unsung Babies, Youth, Elderly The world is a stage Some acts are long Some hardly get their toe on What are we here for ? Knocking on heaven's door Waiting to die Relatives cry Mourn, especially those newborn After the chapel of rest God knows us best. Kizzy York aka K.Oakes  2014 Copyright

The train is coming And all must get on Some will be old Some will be young It's coming for all of us The day we don't know Ready or not ? It will swallow you whole What is this train ? Where does it go ? Depends on your life Destination unknown You will know when you get there Darkness or light Destination known No turning back Only two directions Which way will you go ? Be assured, the train is coming Death, it will swallow you whole If you live right It will take you where it's light The contrast will be stark If it takes you to the dark One day That train is coming No matter who you are Death will swallow you whole 2 Tunnels 2 Destinations Which way will you go ? One day you will get off the train When Death swallows you whole Kizzy York aka K.Oakes 2015 Copyright

My normal is not your normal I know that now After five years of crying, trying to help But I just get pushed away You shout! I go to bed I pout Try to drown your voice and singing out It's teenager's - you are getting like your dad As it's with them you want to hang out I go to bed I dream of a better life Without you Normal- whatever that is All I know now five years on My normal is not your normal My normal likes peace No strife Therefore I will stop being your wife Lessons learned - this normal hates smoke Hates booze and dope Enjoy your amphetamine trip No hope for you As for me and my house I am getting off the ride Just want to run and hide Find my kinda normal All I know is my normal is not your normal Kizzy York aka K.Oakes 2014 Copyright

Don't know what to do Missing you Killing time - wasting time Trying to move on without you This is where it's at It was not just a lover's spat It was more than that We can't go back It's all the crap Why that ? The night you seemed to want me out of your life Even though I am supposed to be your wife Christmas, New year looming You wanted to be near her Cuddle up with her In her new fur Goodbye for now In time - like your dad You will realize I was not that bad Just reacting against the harsh life Of your abuse and being your wife.

Lost, abandoned No control over these feelings Keeps me reeling Have to get out Just walk about Panic hits my chest Can't seem to find Gods best No control over my life I was meant to be your wife Lacking direction No way out this mess Even though I am missing you less I just want you to confess God can't be mocked Forever your life will be locked Let him fully empty your heart Then you will not depart Chorus between each verse God break his heart for what breaks yours Show him how much you want to restore Kizzy York aka K.Oakes 2014 Copyright

I still wear my wedding rings For better, for worse So I don't live under the curse I still wear my wedding rings For richer, for poorer Think Gods way is cooler I still wear my wedding rings In sickness and in health To bring in Gods true wealth I still wear my wedding rings Till Death do us part You will always have my heart I still wear my wedding rings I believe on good things I believe in Gods law I believe he will restore I still wear my wedding rings One day you will walk back in the door Door of my heart Then we will never part That is why I still wear my wedding rings Kizzy York aka K.Oakes 2014 Copyright

This mountain - I have got to the top of Solitary -standing tall This mountain is my marriage This mountain one of separation A wide gulf lies between us The other mountain My husband has not yet climbed But, he will Then God will bridge the gap Bring my husband back And bring him safely to my side As I am his true bride Then the view from the mountain top Will be good, very good.

Silent, empty house. Not, even the sound of a mouse Not here anymore Waiting for you to walk through the door It was not me Why can't you see ? We were doing fine But, once again you drunk too much wine Broken, incomplete Feelings, like walking through sleet Desperate - need to see you again Time has healed the pain Making a STAND, Claiming back our land People don't understand why When all you did was make me cry But God - he knows the beginning from the end, His will we can't bend In his time you will see That we were truly meant to be I will say Bye for now But I will remember the vow From your covenant woman to her covenant man I will sit back and wait - till God does the miracle only he can.

Books, Bosch - what a load of tosh Sooner or later he will have all your dosh He says it's not always like this He's taking the piss You will put up and shut up Till one day it will start to spill out You will shout and shout And kick him out To the kerb Where he belongs He will serenade someone new With the same old song Groundhog day again When will he learn ? To treat girls with respect And go out and earn Kizzy York aka K.Oakes 2014 Copyright
