Edward Walker

Exeter, Devon., UK

I was born on the 12 of April, 1925, in Bow, London. Now an endangered species. Married with two daughters, Seven grandaughters and one Great Grandchild. I now reside with my wife, Kathleen, on the banks of the river Exe. Having served 2 years in the Royal Navy, 1 1/2 years in The Army and 25 years in the Police Force. We are both meandering along with the river and I spend most of my spare time with my favourite subject, Poetry. Plus, I have almost finished my first manuscript. "A twist of Fate". My poetry is divided between my heart and my head, and is at its best when being read to and by other people.

Friendship

Best friends are hard to find.
True love is beautiful and so divine.
My thought are trapped inside my head.
When, I gently rest my head.
Friendship is worth its weight in gold.
Especially, when you are growing old.
When help is needed, they are there,
Their kindness, always comes with care.
Children's friendship, young and old.
is so value, I've been told.
They help with errands and the chores.
The Darlings. I do so adore.
Parents love is so strong and bold,
Thney are always there, never ever told.
To nurse you and caress you, ever ill.
You love them dearly, always will.
Friendship makes the world go round
It makes the flowers grow, and the trees.
The birds fly and show their colour,
Coming into the garden, after each other.
Resting here, not very able,
I cannot walk or sit at the table.
My eyes are closed, my body quite still.
I await now, for my last thrill.

Silent Love

I send this kiss "X" to you.
Like the whispering shifting sands
Like Fountains of water
Nurturing for ever a
relationship of Love.
Across life's borders.
I send my Love to you.
Like the mountains, those
Guardians of life itself.
Like the soft misty air,
Quivering along the Hillside
so vivacious and energetic.
I send my thoughts to you.
Like a warm melting wave.
Like a Ship of Peace,
heaving on a heavy swell
Reaching out for the shore line.
The Pulse of Love all around you.
I send my dreams to you.
Like the Garden of Echoes.
Like simple heartfelt inscriptions.
Such eyes, so Sapphire Blue.
A mischievous wind abounds,
and softly, sighs with Love.
