My name is Gary Trevor Barton. I was born in October, 1968 the son of Janet and Graham. I currently live in the U.K. in a county named Norfolk which is situated in East Anglia. The city I live in is Norwich but I am originally from the Luton area. I have an 'O' level in English language and am trained and have a certificate in Horticulture. I have been writing for a large part of my life and am a member of the World Wide Fund For Nature for whom I have done some work. Over the past few years, I have had a few poems published by Anchor books in the U.K. in anthology's and also by the National Library of Poetry in the U.S. A. I have an Editor's Choice Award for the first anthology, "The Garden of Life." I also have two short stories published in an anthology called "Brainstorm," the stories being "Stevie" and "A Hitchhikers Tale." I am a believer in equal rights for all people black, white, male, female and in peace and life for all. 

 

Water Meadow

Lapping at the bank,
My heart gives thanks,
Seeing sunlight's reflected glow
off a calming, gentle flow.

Moves by, through green
grass and trees
Nature expressing ease,
to its end and it shall go,
relaxing wet and slow.

I Remember 

I remember dancing with Faeries, 
Mushrooms and Life, 
Beauty and Strife. 

I Remember, Blue Eyes and Youth, 
Games and Glancing, 
Loving and Laughing, 

I remember times spent with the stars 
Looking for truth 
In a Misspent Youth. 

I remember sitting on Clouds 
Soft and Wet 
Like a Petal in Dew 
I love Times Spent with You.

Do You Remember

I saw you in a dream
I saw you in the wind
You spoke to me, gentle words,
soothing my mind
caressing my heart
Just the way you looked at me
Your face the most beautiful
I'd ever seen radiant, shining
I'd never felt love like it before.
The first time you kissed my heart
Ecstasy peace do you remember love?
