49/M Surviving
It’s yours it’s mine, Yeah we just plod along to the melancholy beat this world gives us, Don’t take it for granted, you’ve only got one! So live it and live it well. This doesn’t just mean go to all the extremes! (Bungi jumping or the likes) Jesus didn’t give his life for you to just waste away! Yet he gave us gifts along with this life. Oh yes, with just our senses alone, we get to see his magnificent creations. Along with the wonderful aromas of the flowers we get to smell, all while seeing such beauty or hearing the songs of birds at play. Oh we could go on for days, Get on your knees and thank him! Turn a new page and drink in his glory! Oh yes, life is beautiful! Oh yes stand up and turn away from the darkness this world wants us to follow! Next time life starts to feel too hard to bear, look up and pray for happiness It’s all around us we just need see it Feel it Smell it Or taste it. Oh and last but far from least Love all around Oh yes Life is glorious! (Mike and the mechanics, lyrics in the living years “Say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (it's too late) when we die (it's too late when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye”) Oh yes, tell them how you love them no matter what time of the day or who hasn’t said sorry, say it loud and say it clear. A quarrel is often so difficult to overcome but it’s far more difficult to carry on with a quarrel when love is what your opponent is punching back with, for you can’t fight love! Oh yes, rocky and narrow are the paths life leads us to dwindle along But if you have Jesus as you compass you will not find yourself lost, we need just have faith! Oh yeah life is amazing, for our Daddy in the heavens gave it to us And wow what a birthday present! Thank you Jesus ©

Poetry be a vehicle For me it's transported me from that dismal place of days so Grey Their hue so dark became the tarmac for life's emotional highway For writing be a vehicle taken us through many a dreary day Then it dropped me at a the curb of happiness I only needed to step out To run down its pathways through color filled gardens Roses n tulips be where grimace and decay once resided Melodies and laughter now replacing tears n sorrow I saw love as a fallacy now a possibility Poetry be a vehicle Mine be a chariot with gold n silver Now boasting hope n joy out proudly No more just getting from point a to b I stop and smell them roses and love life's journey For poetry be a vehicle

Poetry be a vehicle
I had/have a dream how those great speaches start (Martin Luther King jnr) (Nelson Mandela) Oh not to steal from their glory but I'd say I too dream! A dream of a life where we needn't be bothered by treachery and deciet! A dream of a life where violence ceesed to exist! A dream where love meant just what it should A dream where there were only true's No false box to tick A dream where I would be seen the same whether I arrived on a donkey or a Leer jet But these just be dreams! What a glorious ponder maybe induced coma be a option? At least my heart can reside there whilst I dream! Oh dream on ©

A real dream
I've often heard it said you need to love yourself in order to love someone else, Yet we with little thought, for those we love❤️ sacrifice all! That be good! as long as the sacrifice made brings you joy! However on the contrary we allow the mundane needs of others be the sacrifice of our happiness, pleasing others or at times just to avoid criticism or conflict. This being said being considerate to others needn't fall away, yet be it a sacrifice to your happiness or wellbeing, then take stock of your needs wants goals, and first make sure they remain achievable! All the time be YOU! never waiver there ! Be true and be true to yourself first, and if being true wasn't a priority that be positive change to administrator! Others will either fit in or sacrifice (the same rules apply to them too!) So be True! Be Happy! Be Loving! (for you can't fight love) But most of all be You!!!! ©

ME FIRST
An experience par none With hunger far more than lust Insatiably I want to devour With a drive far more than just passion! For these carnal desires are soul fed! I pondered if I misbehaved in anyway couldn't keep my hands at bay always yearning to touch! With a need to see the pleasure overload! and wow even just being normal I can't! Just one look in those eyes and I have desires in an instant all bottled up at once that I'm sure most only have over a lifetime! Now to contain my hunger to stop insanity rolling in! (drive me crazy) an understatement I'm certain  Well at least till our next soul feast!©

Soul fed
If I could only turn back time I’d do most of it the same but I know my mistakes I’d improve of course! But mostly hearts I’ve hurt If possible I’d do things better there More time with my loved ones If only I could! And of course cut out those who do only but take from you! I can if you allow me to direct the future better though sure we can get a lot out still We are never certain of tomorrow! We need to secure today! Don’t discard of time you could have done so much more with! Be extravagant with those words I love you! But more than that show them as much! Spend it wisely and  extravagantly on those who really matter! I know I have that in my heart I hope I get to fulfill it in my life to come! Oh if only Could I know I Can! ©️

Soar or sink!
Wow see that bright light With beauty, So radiant, so true We all have this ability Yet so  few really do Its that beautiful gift Passing friendly glances We show lovingly to some Oh what a beautiful gift A room full of happy kids could be seen as shimmering stars Smiles across the floor If we wore ours as children do Wouldn’t we shimmer too? Oh smile what a beautiful gift Don’t let it go to waste Just smile and shine from within ©

Shimmering stars
Oh so much so it’s a place, a time, a destination and a goal It be where we should reside When you walk into my home I want you to feel it! When you look at me my heart will show it! For happy is where my heart resides! Happy I need for me first! If those that hearts are set in unhappiness they need know it remains their choice! My Happiness is mine! no one else can steal it or navigate it! I am the captain of this ship! Oh happiness is mine! I own it’s title deed As a lush garden I aim to keep it in bloom! So who ever should visit even a fleeting moment in my life! Should know happiness be mine! ©

Happy not just a state of mind, for it be a place
When evening falls Where once was light is now dark As with the heart ‘‘Twas a place to leave your mark Was it not happiness I sought? Yet darkness you brought! Pondering this as birds pass by, songs in flight! I... I come to realize ‘‘twas never yours! My happiness be mine! Now knowing this I’ll not give up happiness nor fight! For negative be negative! I’ll have not that! That sinister trait! Your dark won’t be! For its light for me!!!!! ©
