Poems

  Maybe good should always Triumph over evil But .......... Sometimes  It ends in a mere truce  Forgiveness  Walking Forwards  Progression into our unknown futures  Apart from him eternally Remembrance of the good times Burying.........  the bad memories with him For us both ........  a once in a lifetime kind of love  Never to be forgotten  Souls scarred forever  With his imprint  And Signature Red Nose !  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes Summer 2020 

  All is well  By the sea When you pick up a shell  Put it to your ear And hear the beat  Of the ocean near Different shapes and sizes  Everyone knows a shell  There are no disguises  Toes on the sand  A bucket full of shells  A seaside band  My shell is intact  Many are broken  That is a fact  Heigh Ho!  The tide is coming in Time to go  With my bucket full of shells  It’s time to take heed I know what I’m having for tea With these seaside smells !  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes 2017 

I am not like other girls  I am more unique  You came into my life with swirls  But then left it feeling bleak  I am not like other girls Because of you I am this way You gave me independence  What more can I say ?  I am not like other girls Changed in the twinkling of an eye You made me this way You see, before your last sigh !  I am not like other girls I came to see you at rest Your Clown Face not on as yet You, Just You, Without any Jest !  I am not like other girls  To your funeral, I didn’t go Even though I was your Widow  Too many mourners, full of Woe.  I am not like other girls  Inside I’m full of Fire My last view of you  Was at the Funeral Parlour  I am not like other girls  The Other Woman Said Why were you not at the Funeral ?  Even though he was in my bed ?  I am not like other girls Though you meant the world to me I say Goodbye differently  That’s just the way I am !   Inspired...

Running late  Barrier at the gate Let me in - late for my lesson Whiteboard, Pen, me writing again I do like to study  To release my Creativity  I have tried - successfully  To write in lines of three  In Rhyme most of the time Time soon comes round Time has flown Time to go home  Copyright Kizzy Oakes aka K.J.Oakes

A lifetime habit Of travel and return  Summer days in this country  Are rare I have learned So I spread my wings In a plane, I take flight hustling here and there To check out the sights This is my happy place  During the season I live in my caravan  For this very reason  Winter is so sad Though I still have fun In some ways glad As I seek out winter sun  A traveller I will alway be Till the day that I die My heart is for the sea Where my ashes shall lie  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes Summer 2018

A Ghazal Early days were like Sunshine  Before I found out your Deceit  You made me so happy  Hidden in your persona, Deceit  Good memories, Funny Moments  Shaded with Deceit  They will always stay with me  Despite your Deceit  By day, Dr Jekyll  By night, Mr Hyde’s Deceit  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes 2018
