Sometimes the earth beneath my feet shudders
And I feel in the depth of despair a longing for
The one thing that has kept me grounded for all
These years causing me to look at my emptiness
And cry out for you to return to hold me upright

The light that once burned with such bright sparks
Now leaves me to find my way in the darkest blue
Stumbling blindly from one sad minute to the next
With a loneliness that batters my aching heart as
I cry out for you to return the love I give  to you

I could have given you my heart
But there's someone whose torn it apart
And he's taken almost all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
The first cut hurts the deepest
Cat Stevens

The blue sails of my bedroom
Offer me the solid protection
From the crazy winds that blow
Through my open wide searing
Eyes showing me the intolerable
Future that seems to be my fate

The yellow canary sits so quietly
Watching with a furrowed brow
While panic hovers red rainbows
With an ease that sound terrifies
Heartbeats thumping way too fast
And purple clouds plume skyward

The black dog beckons his spiteful
Realm into the darkening evil night
Again alive to speak dangerous words
To a frightened troubled forlorn soul
And under the blue I try to set my sail
Through stinking sludge sticking glue

Wrap your soul around mine
For unconditional love devine
Open yourself to the dynamic
Nature of your peaceful bliss
Your outer world is a reflection
Of your precious inner thoughts
Shine your light brightly knowing
Stars live within your loving eyes
The magic has always been within
Whispering gently in silent winds

Loving glances dancing light
On skin delicately bronzed
Tripping over chosen words
Drafted into close quarters

Cheerful laughter glistening
Darned polite but amusing
Belonging making it easier
All seems as it should be

A flat open yard becomes the
Magical forest with brambles
And mazes on the edge as
She dreams the day away

Flitting about in a white dress
Sunshine turning her long red
Plaits to shimmering gold and
Translucent wings unfolding

The spell of the folding star
Fortells the line of beauty
As the unknown becomes
The hammock and the
Broken knot the post

Cloud pink above the rockery
Grey fingers of twilight too
Resolving into the nooks
Across paths as ideas seen
Not given a chance to bloom

The next time you're tempted
To judge someone else harshly
See their health and happiness
A more positive route can build
Self esteem and healing and you
Will notice how much better you feel

There are many universal laws
And among them is our free will
Allowing us to make good choices
And wise decisions that help all
Bringing you ideas and clear clarity
To understand the needs of others

Our strength and truthfulness will
Help when feeling victimized and
Will gently guide our spoken words
So we communicate our needs to
Others and loving assertiveness
Becomes much easier for yourself

A silence of simply gliding
Birdseye view of all below
Total control of all you see
High above the clouds of woe

Patchwork quilt of love and joy
Great expanse in peace of mind
Magic landscape of beauty's all
Only air and breath around to find

Soaring lifes bends and curves
Hovering valley summiting hill
Forgiving contours of the man
Forever moving amazingly still

Out of this world inside my head
High indeed on lifes great wave
Oceans past and many more to see
Sailing strong with my  love to pave

There's a voice that does not use words
                     Just listen

Today I stand in the light
Of my own personal truth
Speaking loudly in the silence
To the magic that lies within

Today I surround myself in
The pink aura of blissful love
Rose quartz crystals sparkling
In my recently opened eyes

Today I resolve to focus upon
The love that underlies every
Situation bringing about gentle
Healing in undreamed of ways

Today I open my heart to love
Peace understanding and joy
Today I welcome you to join me
In this white pure light of love

At times the emotions we keep inside
Seem almost too much to bear
Anger grief loss and guilt sometimes
Stay and refuse to go away
Until the only option is quiet despair

But somewhere from deep within your
Soul comes the sound you've waited for
And your swollen tearful eyes look
Upwards to see that chunk of light
That leads you to your place of peace

Keep looking my dear friend and you'll
See it's really there waiting for your
Gentle eyes to see life again in all its
Magical glory and its light will lead
You to the healing power of your soul

You've brought your smile
Into my eyes and removed
Teardrops

An eagle soars the sky seeing the whole
As the current of life flows through
Seeking all the beauty with soulful eyes
Listening to earths own  hearts song

Nature can teach us so many things
We should accept with gratitude
Mirrors of honesty acknowledge the sights
Stardust shimmers in unlimited time

Unconditional love the highest form
An abundance overflowing to all
It's bliss beautiful gentle and caring
Expressed so well in nature's devine

Blue planet eyes spinning
In the galaxy of his skull

Take care with your dreams
They can crack with reality
The hand that is given to hold
Has always relied on another
To regain its own balance
For it too has fallen hard
On the infertile arid ground
Needing water from the well
And salt from mother earth
Hearing it's owm wail and cry
It can only kneel and pray

An insipid tattoo on a worn out drum
Shells that have become ashtrays
In the mundane reality of life
Thoughts dimly reflected
In the ***** puddles
Scattered crumbs
In cold sheets
It's just a
Dreary
Day

Radiate your love
And brighten
The lives all
Around
You

Five  coloured coral moons await me
In a deep  sea of liquid gold
The wise ones who  will carefully tutor
They are my ancestors of old

The first to rise was was pure white
With the  softnees that is peace
Love acceptance and knowledge resides
In smiles that can not cease

Next to show was the purple globe
It's precious rays delicate and calm
Inspiration and good judgement
Will be my daily creative balm

Following on was sunny yellow
Shining her beams of hope
Innocent happy and light-hearted
Helping my new world to cope

Then came orange fun bright and bold
Spraying me with her vigorous zest
Stimulating alive on top of the world
Splendidly alert to all that is best

Last to rise was the blood red moon
Crimson streaks for all to see
Raging passion desire and lust
With just a touch of intimacy

Our garden reflects
Heaven on earth
But overgrown
Brambles
Strangle

There is a weariness of fairy tales
A magical desire to just surrender
To sleep dark and seamless space
And let the gaze follow the black

Shifting sand with nothing to hold
Onto,dust falling through fingertips
The gap in the curtains showing the
Black dog the way to a saddened soul

Smooth sea that never made a sailor
Years of education that never taught
How to love yourself or have dignity
Or how to nurture with open hearts

A child's high voice sounding like
A spash of pennies falling together
A life waylaid by regret drowning
In shadows,untruths and uncertainty

Today feels different
Strange glistening eyes
Gaze directed inwards
Bitter sweet lethargy

Still as an ice statue
Can't imagine infinity
Life curls on threads
Of Justice and mercy

Bodies touching but
A void between souls
Tender cry of the alone
Stuffed full with empty

Assurances of bliss are
Realy just fairy stories
Invisible to the eyes it
Receeds shamefaced

Look inside my eyes and see my heart
Untold stories of pain and sadness
Something has broken inside of me
How many times do I smile crying
Tasting your mind loving it's flavour
Sometimes holding on is harder than
Letting it all disappear into the blue
Sometimes I just miss the memories
Now fading like an olden day fairytale

Restless yearning brings glass tears
To eyes blinded by regret

Devious deceitful dialogues
Decrepit desperate dithering
Detailed demonic deliveries
Disgusted demoralised dirges

Languidly loving longings
Lustful liberated labido
Lavacious liquidity laudable
Legendary loyalty lengthens

Only through casting your inevitable care and worries
To the true source of love can a partnership remain
On the highest spiritual plane possible for us

Friends are like a second family chosen by us for us
And in our minds and hearts we surround them
With the white blue light of forgiveness and love

Our family can help us feel peace and love allowing
Us to live in the warm light of happiness and security
For family is all we need  in our wonderful world

Held tenderly within  angel wings
He released his most inner secrets
And I silently wept for the strong
Hard man with the child in his eyes

Allow yourself to spontaneously
Celebrate love and its glorious colours

In my magic land of make believe
My hair is blonde my eyes are blue
My fertile body is strong and young
Your love for me is honest and true

I love my dreams ,that edge of reality
Where you and I touch and meet
Our pathway is not straight it's a spiral
You continually come back to things

You see deeper truths in untold stories
Fragmented energy from the same source
Because what we put out returns back
We live a little differently than before

We look at eyes and see inside hearts
We taste minds and recognise hunger
Ribs become cages for wild animals
And love shines again in molten gold

Mystery seemed to attach itself to him
Years ago when the dream was new he
Had known he was looking for someone
That he had to go in the right direction

No matter how many times he dreamt
He just couldn't seem to find them and
Eventually he always found himself lost
Snipped out of reality with sharp scissors

His mind shied away like a horse refusing
To jump and his memories in the dark
We're shiny threads that swayed and
Moved almost ready to snap with sorrow

The deep crimson sea speaks to my soul
As I imagine dipping
Into her healing womb
Then allow her power and beauty
To gently bathe my broken spirit
Until he rises reborn

Do not believe all the things you tell yourself
So resolutely outside times usual rhythms
When floating on the outer edge of living
Use your minds ability to toss up flecks of
The past further into the tunnel of long gone

Let those silent tears ,damp and glistening
Settle into an abstract sideshow of your own
With ingenious certitude and unstoppable
Force ,let misgivings fall away with due pomp
No matter how high the cold winds may blow

Doing the right thing even when no one is watching
                                 That's  integrity

Your sleeping like a chrysalis
I'm listening to your rhythm
So light easy in the moment
Beautiful serene and sleepy
Protected  by a blanket cocoon

Cuddling up I tell precious tales
Like sea breathing it's vastness
The seaweed just tattered rags
Swishing gravel sizzling foam
Logs scoured smooth over years

Broken glass  oceans sugar candy
Pebbles giving away their secrets
An abyss of turquoise from below
Above seagulls plaiting winds hair
Closing my eyes my dreams begin

Time to set aside work awhile
Playfulness , gaiety and laughter
Gives all a new perspective as
Our tired souls cry out for fun

Simple pleasures ,moments spent
In stillness,laughing with friends
Or watching that funny movie again
Play and fun balance our daily lives

We deserve happiness and enjoyment
Allowing pleasure in each new day
So stop what your doing right now
And let your playful spirit fly free

Joy springs from appreciating the gifts
Within each and every precious moment
Joy allows you to attract and create
Your present and future moments
At their highest best and possible levels
Look past your mistakes and see the
Eternal flame of joy within yourself
Joy is our highest energy form it's the
Magical sense that everything is possible

To receive first you must give
The universe operates in cycles
Optimal health and energy and
Replenishment needs balance

Inhalations  and exhalations
The acts of giving and taking
Ensures we maintain the rythm
Giving us the loving balance

Myriad solutions await our call
If only we set our inner minds
Dial onto the positive light that
Dwells endlessly within us all

Giving from a place of abundance
Knowing you have more to give
Brings a joy that lifts the spirit
Steering forwards in lifes dream

Whenever you have worries
Or aches within your heart
There's someone who knows
A place where hope can start
So when you need some peace
And someone who will care
You have the reassurance
Your  angel will be there

Mirrors are the throat of time
Devouring all in their path
Leaving nothing not even bones
Relentless in their wrath

Mirrors are the throat of time
Taking all with nil to give
Leaving only the profound loss
So deep we can never forgive

Mirrors are the throat of time
Stealing from each of us all
Leaving no corner unexposed
Silent witness to our downfall

I have tasted your mind
And cannot forget it's flavour

Every day becoming stronger
Standing taller with each other
Firm bindings holding us together
Red blood lines drawing tighter

Learning all the given knowledge
Believing in the higher good
Knowing the ancient laws of man
Becoming in touch with spirits lore

Unconditional love at its purest
Loyalty portrays strongest links
Teaching the young to understand
The invincible bond of the family

Follow your dream brave hero
Even though I gave up mine
To be with you

Follow your heart young man
For mine is now broken
By trusting you

Follow your truth old friend
Try to keep life pure
It will help you

Follow the sun bright one
Keep the blaze alight
So it warms you

Follow your dream my dreamer
Keep it safe and sound
It's there for you

Tuesday was a good day
I awoke early naturally to
The sweet sound of birds
Singing their morning tune
And their joy made my joy

Then I heard the terrible news
In Brussels people were dying
And my heart went out to them
Feeling disgusting shame that we
As humans do that to each other

You have given hope
To a soul
Yearning to fly

We met in the sun's warm presence
Under the old clock towers time
It's like we have always known
Each other as we merge together

Our smiles are easy and comfortable
And closeness soon develops which
No one else can see even though it's
Crowded as people rush and dash

We sit together over frothy coffee
Añd plan our future long days
It seems like it's just us in the
Universe together at last forever

My soul longs to express itself in creative ways
I need to infuse artistry into my life
Naked expression makes me feel alive
Reignites passion to a weary body

Lifes very essence is a remarkable energy
A field that will respond to loving care
Activating a heart torn or tattered
Shielding the soul with love

In rhythmic cycles of balance and growth
Appreciating the gifts within
I seek the highest energy of all
Staying centered in my souls joy

Words and hearts should
Be handled with care
For words when spoken
And hearts when broken
Are so hard to repair

I want to sit and read for
It gives me great pleasure
Without thinking I'm needed by someone

I want to revise from history
Text books purely for education
Without ever having to take tests or exams

I want to colour my world
In fantastic neon colours
Without ever seeing a dull grey or black

I want to trust my lovers arms
Safe in knowing the strength
Without the pain of jealousy or letting go

I want to love with all my heart
Allowing myself the highest joy
Without the worry of  being smashed or broken

I want to so YES I will

Happy as larks they'd been
Back when the future still
Stretched unmarked ,trusted
Spirited and more imaginative

Clouds seemed to cross his brow
Clustered at first in nervous knots
Ghostly shadows in full moons
Black bats silently brushing by

Knowledge knows what was
Intuition reveals what can be
Love lost to love and he wonders
Which star she watches him from

Alone he is a fading flower bud
A pantry empty of nourishment
Together they were a blooming
Garden filled with rainbow colors

On distant shores souls await
To unite in loving bliss
