A drifting Pen

A pen glided over the surface this day,

Leaving a message as it went,

Of what was is no longer,

It can never been the same again,

Washed away as the water of life flowed,

Erasing her presence over time,

To leave an empty place,

In my eyes where the rivers still flow,

Window

Sat looking out of a window,

The pane is clear,

As rain streams down the glass,

Following tear stained scars,

Sad songs playing on the jukebox,

Memories of the past,

Sipping the coffee from a lipstick stained mug,

That was her yesterday,

For a rainbow came to end the storm,

The sun then came her way.....

Self Love Transient

Staying within a circle of happiness,

Caring for ones needs,

Not sacrificing your wellbeing,

Deserving the best not settling for less,

Not comparing with others out there,

In a transient time of being alone,

On a journey of personal growth on this path called life,

Having trust in yourself and letting go of those who tarnish your soul,

Actors on a stage playing your part,

As the drama unfolds,

Bulldog

With a bulldog attitude to find the courage to stand your ground,

Learning to be brave when others fade all around,

To have a mindset to be responsible for oneself,

Maybe a little stubborn when things get tough,

Sweet and gentle when you need to be,

Strong in character never giving up, 

A bulldog you must be,

Butterfly Effect

A day of chaos all about,

That little change could help sort it out,

May have an impact in time to come,

This is a theory spoken about,

A butterfly's flaps it's wings causing a reaction with the wind,

In time to come who can tell what that outcome will be....

 

Night Owl

I hear you screeching in the middle of the night,

Your in my dreams,

They are my dreams,

Lit by a lunar light,

What does it me,

Descending from a high,

Bearing down on me,

Talons poised to entrap me,

Beating wings stir me from my sleep,

Now I am free,

Sanctuary.....

Ream of Paper

Ream of paper,

To write ones dream's.

Manifested in this way,

In the early hours of the day,

In the am's,

Now you cannot sleep,

The mind is active,

Waiting for the dawn to break,

To capture the vision on your mind,

What does it mean,

Is it fate,

To dream this way....

Hiding in the Shadows

Can you see them in the dark,

Hiding in the shadows,

Memories of the past,

Distant voices,

Memorized words,

Scarred upon the heart,

Broken dreams,

Washed away in the rivers,

Yesterdays dreams,

Ghosts of the past....

Touching Emotions ♭♯♭

 Touching Emotions 

 

Walking the boulevard of broken dreams, Going through seven degrees of separation, 

I am a mess but I don’t want to get drunk again, I can’t let it go or hold back the river, 

Can’t imagine a world without you, Trying to lose you on the flume, 

Scars need to heal, Feeling incomplete, 

Wearing my best fake smile, Trying to get out while you can, 

Good riddance to me, Nice guys come last, 

I don’t want another love, Grow old with me, 

I will battle, I will chase rubies because I care, 

You can’t hideaway, Won’t allow a beautiful mistake, 

Let’s go back to when we were on fire and let the clocks go forward, 

I hear your heart, I see the sparks as I wait in line, I need the sun to break so I can see all of me, 

Angels contemplate my fate, You and I are just ordinary people, 

Everybody knows I can change so lay me down, You are safe with me, It’s not all about sex, 

You are a grade eight, One photograph of Tenerife Sea,

 So wake me up to make you feel my love, Everything you are I love, 

I’ve been to the city and sang with Ed, This is it, So give me love and kiss me, 

Don’t look back in anger I can fix you, Stop crying your eyes out for your heart will go on, 

Little by little build a wonder wall, So say something before we collide for I am feeling incomplete, 

Not looking for a perfect replacement, I want go quietly, 

Let’s build a Lego house together for I will stand by you, 

I want to be your hero so take me to church so I can pray for two lives, 

So we can sing again. ♭♯♭

The Poem

With thoughts in mind,

To find the time,

In pen or ink,

Words captured in lines,

Rhyming metaphor of beautiful things,

Love, joy, pain and heartbreak,

Words to last an age,

A candle Burn's with delight,

Are these Words-worth reading in the dead of the night,

To be a Bard and recite the words of THE POEM....

Dreams

The fortune teller asked her,

What are you seeking my dear,

Answers she replied,

You cannot change the past go along on your path was the reply,

Take note of your dreams and manifest your life,

I am afraid and alone,

Have faith and hope and doors will open for you,

Shadow

His shadow hid in the darkness of the night,

Camouflaged out of sight,

Not to betray his ghostly form,

As he maneuvered to his delight,

A spirit trapped in time by the memories on his mind.... 

Dying Roses

The pain inside the chest,

The heart that cannot rest,

An aching desire,

A yearning fueled by desire,

A conflict between the mind and the heart,

The soul that takes control,

The body that walks away,

From the path of yesterday,

For hope and faith that fated destiny will show the way,

If its not meant to be,

Its not meant to be,

To come to terms with the pass,

With the memories that last,

Those broken words,

Broken dreams,

The dying roses,

Freedom and slavery combined in the present today...

POSEIDON

Tempest conjured, 

Storm growing to attack an enemy,

White horses raging,

To the boundaries crossed,

Waves crashing on the rocks,

A trident in hand,

Whales breaching in salute,

Poseidon God of the sea I am...

The Week Day Fool

The Fool, Jester of the pack,

If you love him he will love you back,

On a new journey on the paths of life,

New beginnings with hope and faith,

Open minded let the universe decide,

Not a care in the world with a curious mind...

11:11:11

The land fell silent on the 11th hour,

A day in the past,

Grey clouds gracefully passed overhead,

Lest we Forget the fallen ones,

On the 11th day,

A poppy displayed on a breast,

Standing in silence as the bells tolled,

With a stirring breeze to shake the soul,

Emotions shown,

A sound of a bugler,

The Last Post called,

Echoing over War Graves,

A memory to us all......

An Eye's View

The window of the mind was open,

Processing the visual information presented,

Open minded to deciphering,

Colours, movement, actions, reactions light and darkness,

The eyes see actions the mind dictates actions,

Individual character with empathy and compassion controls restraint....

Mushroom

When you are being like treated like a mushroom,

Kept in the dark,

Fed manure,

True colours can show,

Red is for danger,

A warning sign,

Rain Walking

Why are you walking in the rain little one?

So no one sees you crying?

Why are you in so much pain?

Can you not find the words to explain?

Do you think nobody will understand?

Why are you so lost?

Is it because of betrayal of trust by the one you

loved?

Little one listen to me,

If you loved one so, they chose to let you go and

you are hurting so then your love was real,

If you feel this pain never love them again,

To break a trust of a love so true never provide a

bridge to connect to you,

If the grass was greener on the other side then

that is where they must reside,

So walk in the rain until the sun returns,

Learn to live again,

For one day love will return to you,

For someone will see the beauty in you,

When tears stop to drop,

River beds will show,

Tear stained scars will heal where rivers use to

flow fed from your eyes where they were shed,

Poppy Heads

When the colour has gone,

The red has shed,

A pod is all that is left,

A remembrance of a symbol for a soul,

The memory that has been left,

A sacrifice made for you,

On a land where the larks will sing,

From dawn to dusk,

Haunting sound of the Last Post,

Sounded in memory to honour you. 

Iracus

Sometimes you have to face danger to be free,

To reach heights of ecstasy,

Flying like a bird in the sky,

Looking down on the landscape from a high,

To migrate far and wide,

Never Forget Brothers in Arms

No greater love has no one than this,

to lay down one’s life for one’s friends: John:15:13

Brother in Arms I here your song, Let no one be left behind, Never forget the sacrifice made, 11:11

Prediction

Gypsy King she said,

Cross my palm with silver,

To get your fortune read,

Crystal ball, Tarot Card or maybe a Palm Reading I can do,

To read your fortune,

Your destiny to you,

Is it love or wealth you seek,

Or would you be content with happiness,

Is that what you seek,

The law of attraction a Magician at work,

Manifesting your destiny as we speak....... 

Broken Parts

Piece by piece,

Glued together to make a whole,

Keeping old flames out of reach

Danger of fire,

Every piece a story to tell,

Healed,

Now whole,

With scars to show,

Dream Visions

She said to him,

Do you know what you are to me,

No? he said,

You are my everything,

My world, the Moon and the Stars,

You make me happy and complete,

My dreams come true......

He woke from his dream at 3am,

Haunted by his dream,

Unable to sleep,

Where was this woman of his dreams to make his life complete.....

Fate

Broken promises,

Broken dreams,

A pride on fire,

A broken heart,

Betrayed by love in the dark,

But it's ok  he said for I am awake, 

Not worthy of  his love you are to him,

You set him free,

To find love that he deserves,

One day his dreams will come true,

For he may discover you,

For paths will cross if it is meant to be,

With a pen in hand he will plot his course,

A gypsy King with his dreams,

On this journey through the stars too his destiny.....

Sunset Dreams

Standing on a beach feet buried in the golden sand,

Holding hands in the dimming glow,

With flowing hair dancing in the breeze,

Watching the waves rolling in,

Two hearts in rhythm, 

#Patience rewarded as she said I love you,

#Patience is a virtue he thought,

As he looked in her eyes and said.... I LOVE YOU TO,

He took her in his arms and tenderly kissed her as the sun went down.

Soaring

 

Searching for freedom in the skies,

Danger at height as now not grounded,

Liberated and free as a bird,

To fly on a breeze in the sky,

Migrating to a new dimension,

To reach a new destination,

In ones mind.....

Thoughts

He sat on a bench,

Starring at the sea,

A ritual practiced regularly,

Gathering his thoughts and finding peace,

Listening to the waves crashing at his feet,

The sea wind blowing,

Gulls soaring high,

Counting the clouds that float in the sky,

Thoughts drifting between day dreams,

As time disappears with the movement of hands,

Years pass by,

Yet the memories last.......

 When the wind blows,

I will be gone,

A memory is all that will be left,

A yellow flower that changes to a ball of white,

A kids game making a wish,

Chasing seeds in the wind,

As they fly away,

Leaving an empty stem,

Memories of yesterday
