Whenever I feel this way
Thinking I've nothing to say
I gather my thoughts straightaway

With the words on a page
Simply rearrange
Letters like a Daisy-Chain

The Intent is clear
I hold dear
How I truly feel
IT'S REAL!

My Voice
Longs to State
It is possible to Escape
From within a  Daze
Of a  Deadly Maze
When Doctored up
With  lots of Love.  

To be sure I listen
Hear my own words
I will shout  them clearly
For what it is worth
My truth that I am still
Here today
Because I want
To be restored
In a precious way.

Although  grief of loss
And trauma unsettles me
Willing I am
To  overcome
All kind of pain
To at least try
To  feel okay again.

Here I Am
I would now
Like to Exclaim
That My Heart Beats
And My Lungs sing
On Pure oxygen
To protect My Body
And  My Brain
From being  Afraid
Of the Happenstance
In every day.

As I  look to the sky
Through the depths
Of the night
I  see you shining
In your own right
For you are
A Shining Star

Then when I  wish
Hope or Dream
Even experience reality
I know exactly
Where you are
Dear Shining Star
You Witness Me

My every breath
That I  take
Showing how
I partake
In a sense
Of being struck
Star Stuck
By your  Love!

My Heart Feels Heavy
When My Head is cluttered
By certain words uttered by Another
That cause me despair
  Respond I then want to
With words that care
Keep my dialogue Kind
Refined and Respectful
Share....

When stung by a certain pain
For a second you are almost  insane
However you  quickly  figure out
Not to bottom out
By choosing to see what you need to
In  a different light
Like wisely surrender from the fight
Long enough to remember
It is not your battle
So why take it on
Move On!

What can I say
Would You Listen Anyway
I think about You
Every Day, Every Night
This is my plight
I've even tried to erase You from my Mind
By thinking words that are  unkind
Till I escape the jumble of lies
And let Love Survive!

When I think of You
I Hum from Within
The kind of Song
Where True Love Sings

There is no mistaking
Or Heart Aching
Just the Rush
Of Blood Pulsating

Perfect timing
Rhythmically Exciting
Love Igniting
A Song so Striking

When I Think Of You /La La La
When I Think of You/La La La
When I Think of You
Yes When I Think Of You....

Everyday there is  New Sky
With Cloud Adornments
Where Thunder  may Choose to Speak
Or Rain  Decides it will Tumble Down

Sun may Shine and Hide
In a patch of Blue
Or  burst  Cloud
With Rainbows

Comes Nightfall
Near or Far
A Symphony of Stars
And a Moon of many Phases

24/7
I LOVE the Heavens
And all the Treasures
To Eye Spy.

Our Friendship is a True Gift
Together or Alone
We hear the Birds Sing
Feel the Sunshine
Caring to share
Gratitude for Life
Be it Day or Night
In Calm then  Storms
  Tears  and rapturous  Cheers
It is possible for us
To always BE Sincere.

When I truly listen to my Heart
I hear the words Fly under the Radar
Not so my life can not be detected
Wherever I  Journey
It just  means I need to Maintain
A certain degree of Privacy
For Myself, Close Friends and firstly Family

It does not mean I do not care
About what  occurs beyond me
I have just chosen a Pathway
Where it is possible
To Nurture Emotional Security
Involving being far more aware
Of the  Duty of Care
I have for  Myself  
And the True Loves
Of Life Daily.

It amuses me how I often thought of the Colour Green
As simply Hue stained leaves that dressed the Trees
Or Carpeted parts of the Earth
Like Seas of Turf
Also taking Flight
In the Sky
Certain Birds
Distinctly Green
And a number of Reptiles
With such a Glow
However now I know
In our World
When Human Beings Create
They may tap into the Stream
That Flows Green....

Mosaïque de vert

Cela m’amuse comment j’ai pensé souvent à la couleur verte
Simplement comme teinte coloré des feuilles qui habille les arbres
Ou des parties de la moquette des mers comme terre de gazon
En prenant le vol dans le ciel
Certains oiseaux
Distinctement vert
Et un certain nombre de Reptiles
Avec un tel éclat
Mais maintenant je sais
Dans notre monde
Quand créer des êtres humains
Ils peuvent puiser dans le flux
Les coulées vertes....

No more Rain
Or destructive Fire
Such from Life
Comes a Retirement

No more Hate
Or piercing Wounds
When Spirit Moves
Beyond the Moons

There is only Love
An Eternal Bliss
Sheltered From The Wind
In Peace to Exist.

Abri du vent

Pas plus de pluie
Ou Feu destructeur
Une telle vie de

Au-delà des Moons

Il n'y a que l'amour
Un Bliss Eternal
Abri du vent
Dans la paix d'exister.

Am I renovating
Or letting go
Of All
I no longer need?

Is this a Dream
Or an emotional Scene
Deciding what to Toss
Then  Box?

Will  New Paint and Tiles
Erase A sense of Time
And Memories of Mind
In this space called Home?

After 20 years
Is it possible to face
All kinds of  Fear
Especially Change?

Or will I simply
See this process through
To experience
Something New?

I prefer to  Concede
My ongoing thoughts
Will eventually reveal
What will BE!

Your Hand felt Warm
Bed Side in ICU
Even though You
Didn't Look like You
Strapped up on
Life Support
A Dialysis Machine
Catheters and Drips
Surreal  The Scene

The essence though
Of who You are
Was not far
You were there
As we all cared
Be there for You
Holding On
As You Fight
A Fight
We know you can
A Breakthrough
In Sight!

Hold On!

If it is true you are what you eat
Is it true then you are who you  live with
Befriend or work alongside?
I've been really wondering lately
Hopefully not in a  judgemental sense
Simply because I am just glad
Not to be entangled all the time
In certain connections
By keeping aware
Of the Freedoms in Choice
Live A Purposeful  Life!

Comes Delight in the Night
When the Day is Done
There is drop sheet of stars
That Sparkle on High
And the  Moon is in Sight
In the blanket show of Sky
There is a Silence
You can not miss
To reminisce in
If you wish to remember
What transpired that Day
Or choose you may
To listen to your Heart
Beating Softly
An Ode in The Dark.

My Heart Awakens every day
Desiring to express in some way
A few thoughts that Occur  
About the coming Dawn
Like the Happy Birds
Singing before the Sun
Kisses the Sky and Beyond
Moments like these
Then pump through  
Every part of my Being My Body
Slowly Seeping into my  Brain
Dare they Refrain
Until I feel attuned
To all that surrounds me
Is flowing fully Within me
Truly it is lovely
Natures Song
Then Equips me
To set about my Path Daily
Glad I am part of Life's Throng.

Je suis profondément étonné et me sens fuyais
Parce que je suis en train de comprendre
Pourquoi Quelqu'un que je considérais comme un ami
Je pensais que j'interféré avec les choix dans leur vie.

Ils ont fini rapidement notre contact
Après ce mois d'un heureux semblait amende honorable
C'est vrai qu'ils avaient brutalement déconnectée une fois avant
Et je devais les laisser revenir dans ma vie à nouveau
Respecté cette étape qu'ils avaient pris
Sur leur chemin de récupération!

Émotionnellement, cela est difficile à manipuler deux fois en un an
Donc, je me demande maintenant fait qu'ils ont un agenda caché
Ou une crainte valable comme ils ont discuté de notre amitié avec les autres
Au lieu de Together. Pourquoi?

DLR
03/09/2016

Why?
I am deeply stunned and feel shunned
Because I am trying to understand
Why Someone I considered a Friend
Thought I interfered with the choices in their life.

They quickly ended  our contact
Following what seemed months of  a happy amends
That’s right they had  rudely disconnected once before
And I had let them back in my life again
Respected this step they had taken
On their Path of Recovery!

Emotionally this is  difficult to handle twice  in one Year
So I am Wondering now did they have a hidden agenda
Or a valid Fear as they discussed our Friendship with Others
Instead of  Together.  Why?

As The  Breeze Journeys
The Beautiful Fragrance of Your Bloom

If they crush your petals, burn your stem and nuke your seed
Please remember the True Scent of Who You Are
Is Forever in the Breeze........

My Weakness is no longer an Obstacle
And this sense of loss is not true
It was manufactured over time
Ensued....

From what I thought could be
Was simply not a  reality
No confirmation of knowing
Deceiving....

Frightened by an Avalanche
I witnessed in a Dream
Clearly revealed the Barricade
I needed to See....

Life is for Living
Living I will
With a purpose of Love
Endure!

Pierce not with cruel thorns

Forcing petals to stray

We grow and will seed
So beautifully
Nurtured by Love

Part 1

When waves of strife
Crash upon the keel
Equipped I Am
At the Wheel
I flag peace
To Still My Sea
Anchor Safely
Within my being!

If Dark clouds
Block my view
I search
The compass
Of My Mind
Even work overtime
To navigate a new course
Away from the gale force!

Sailors resting on the land
Put themselves to a test
When they hear my SOS
Ready and able
To give a hand
They plot Fearlessly
A Rescue in destructive Sea
Deep and Dark
Beyond me!

When I'm safely on the shore
My heart still yearns to explore
Follow my dreams - Flow with the Sea
Honour  Love Within You and Me.

By singing A Spring Song
To The Summer of my Soul.
