THE INDISPENSABLE MAN Sometime when you are feeling important Sometime when your ego’s in bloom Sometime when you take it for granted You’re the best qualified in the room Sometime when you feel that your going Would leave an unfillable hole Just follow this simple instruction And see how it humbles your soul Take a bucket and fill it with water Dip your hand in it up to the wrist Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining Is the measure of how you’ll be missed You may splash all you like when you enter You may stir up the water galore But stop, and you’ll find in a moment That it looks quite the same as before The moral of this little example Is to do the best that you can Be proud of yourself but remember There is NO indispensable man [center] [/center]

I will read anything at anytime. I WOULD NOT TELL YOU If I knew the essence of love I would not tell you You’d redefine it Repackage it Paint it pink Sell it at an obscene profit Then love would be trite and tainted If I knew the birthplace of dreams I would not tell you You’d predict them Dissect them Paint them purple Genetically modify them Then dreams would crash to the ground If I knew the germination of hope I would not tell you You’d analyse it Apply statistics Paint it blue Compute a standard deviation Then hope would wither away If I knew the conception of poetry I would not tell you You’d regiment it Destroy its flight Paint it grey Stack it in boxes Then poems would never inspire If I knew the essence of love The birthplace of dreams The germination of hope The conception of poetry I would not tell you You’d destroy their beauty Then your soul would die. peter Kelly copyright 2012

I TRY TO TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME, BUT SOMETIMES SEVERAL DAYS ATTACK ME ALL AT ONCE

LIFE IS LIKE A COIN. YOU CAN SPEND IT ANY WAY YOU WANT BUT YOU CAN SPEND IT ONLY ONCE.

SOMETIMES THE HEART SEES WHAT IS INVISIBLE TO THE EYE

MAY A WARM BREEZE CROSS THE IRISH SEA TO BRING YOU PEACE AND JOY AND MAY THE SUN BRING YOU WARMTH AND COMFORT WHEREVER YOU MAY BE.

SIX FOOT TWO WITH EYES OF GREEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN GOT MY TEETH AND GOT MY HAIR NOT READY FOR THE ROCKING CHAIR SO HOLD ON TIGHT I'M ON MY WAY HELLO TO YOU - I'M PETER.K.

My BLOGS ARE WAY DOWN ON THE LEFT OF PAGE _ MOSTLY POETRY

I hold a Doctorate in life experience. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, and had them ripped of my back a number of times. Such is life. I have been in the Navy; The British Army (Parachute Regiment); SAS Regiment The Rhodesian Army (anyone remember Rhodesia?)! I lived in Africa for many years including three years at the Victoria Falls, when it was but a small village. I now live back where I was born - The Isle of Man - (Which is in the middle of the Irish Sea) which makes me a Manxman. I was widowed in 2006 by the dreaded breast cancer. I am a poet - of kinds - and otherwise life goes on. I welcome friends from any Country and/or culture. . LIVE WITH INTENTION
WALK THE EDGE
LISTEN HARD
CHOOSE WITH NO REGRETS

THE WARRIOR I am a warrior whose duty is to serve my country and my people in the cause of liberty I have tasted the very evil of war smelt the stench of death seen the cruelty that man can wreak upon women and children with all humanity cast aside I have looked closely into the eyes of my enemy and seen his silent plea for mercy but I am a warrior waiting for the kill I have held a dying comrade closely in my arms said unspoken prayers together as his grip tightens on my hand and watched as his eyes glazed over and flicker into darkness I have wiped my blood with that of others on my stained and torn clothing and looked in awe at my hands red, as a deep sunset of life blotted dry by the burning sun I have sought sanctuary wherein a man can rest safely and not be found by a searching bullet I have been in that grey place trembling, bleeding, praying, but knowing that I shall not die for I have been chosen to carry the dark cold memories of mans mad destructive passion until deaths misty mantle allows me to join the stark young men who never got to celebrate their coming of age whose carefree years were pickpocketed from their lives I will hold and cherish their memories and wait patiently to experience deaths singular finality and join them on the day of judgement.

At the going down of the sun And the rising of the dawn We shall remember them For those who serve and have served and to all the families who have been affected by the madness of war.
