The Child Did Ask

May 25, 2022 No Comments

What is in this world the child did ask before it entered the world Is this life to be such a terrible task Should I wait longer and not enter this place just now Is it time to show this new world my wonderful face As a new child I feel I would struggle to grow in this place I would be conditioned in things I did not need to know My teen years would be difficult trying to show who I really am I would have to engage and face all my fears In my teen years I would dream how my life should be Yet I would not think and worry how my life would be so cold Suffering in my mind still as this child who needs just to be me Yet this would be the life that I have and would not know why I know what I see now could I not just be me It is not as I have lived now and not as I dream Life is waiting and only giving me a short time to come right now For me this is not my decision when I must go So I must enter this world I do not know

A Glass of White Wine

March 11, 2021 No Comments

These crazy dreams in your head will they be written down or will they ever be read These nightly thoughts that haunt your mind and hinder your day One more glass of white wine what do you say? Which one of you has order this drink, it’s me inside who do you think Your thoughts, your dreams that are trying to drive you insane The life you live is that not just right or is it just a game One white wine that’s what I need just one more These dreams may destroyed your life and the dragon that has being laid at your door Yet there is hope in this life for you, these dreams keep you going in your world Waiter if you please, just one more glass of white wine.

Look Within not Without

October 4, 2019 No Comments

When your heart hurts because you are feeling sad, sit quietly and rest for a while Your heart will beat from within you and remind you that you are beautiful inside Seeking in your life the approval of others will not mend your heart, this will only prolong your pain Sit with your place of quietness and kindness to the self For the beauty of self is always within Stay quiet and look deeper inside for the forgiveness of any fault that you may feel is yours It is from the deepness within, that your soul will find you to forgive, if you need it Your soul will awaken the solution to your sadness and cure your hurt Your soul will not forsake you when you seek its guiding light even from your darkness Look within not without

Not Easy Being Me!

Not Easy Being Me
So Mum and Dad what can I said
I grow and change now everyday
Trying to find out who I am and where I fit in
Looking for answers but where do I begin
You see these changes in me and yet you still don’t understand
Its support I need right now not that back of your hand

Be True to Your Self

August 2, 2017 No Comments

The opening lines of a poem titled ‘Does True Love Ever End’ Does True Love Ever End It started with a gentle smile, a warn feeling and an interest. It continued through the frequency and continuous opportunity of connection. It began with that magic sparkle growing which I felt deep inside.

The Beauty of the Heart

July 31, 2017 No Comments

The beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty: its lips give to drink of the water of life. Truly it is the water, that which pours, and the one who drinks. All three become one when your talisman is shattered. That oneness you can’t know by reasoning. by Rumi

I don’t seek or feel I have time for such things
