lullaby

Sep 2016 Illya Oz

Little Bear

lullaby

the sun sets
as he lays down
to rest

a soft touch
of my lips
to his sleeping
eyes
my fingers
tenderly
combing through
his hair

i whisper so quietly
"quel kaima a'maelamin"
his troubles
still linger
between his eyes
and sleep

kisses soft
whispered love
and now
now
they are swallowed
swallowed
by sleeps
soft
whispers

slowly easing
as he drifts softly away
gently kissed
forever loved
as violet and silver dreams
are wished
past his eyelashes

"take your rest my beloved"

"lle naa vanima"
"quel kaima"

"a'maelamin"
"esta sinome"

*"all is well"

lle naa vanima.. you are beautiful
quel kaima.. sleep well

a'maelamin.. my Beloved
esta sinome.. rest here

not broken

not broken

i'm not broken
sure
i've been through a lot
i've been beaten
and worse
i find it hard to trust
and sometimes
i trust
too much
i remain closed off
and yet open
so
wide
i am vulnerable
scared
an anxious bundle of worries
a truly happy soul
i love
i cry
i make bad choices
i believe in fairy tales
i believe in happy endings
yet i see dragons
in men
and their demons
within
but i see light too
in the hearts
of good men
and often
i cower
from both
i have lived
when i thought
i would die
i suffered
the things words
cannot say
and yet
i am not broken
**** that
the last thing
i will ever be
is broken

When i say dragons in the hearts of men.. i mean mankind.. not men, not at all. :o)

he had a certain kind
of glow
to his love

it shone out of him
like rays
of
sunlight
warming the skin

as it saturated
him;
his gentle spirit
spilled
like
drops
of
sunshine
upon our faces

his eyes
held
daylight
so beautifully

he could
light up the
whole sky

made of magic

Sep 2016 Illya Oz

Little Bear

made of magic

i think love
must be
made of magic

you see..

i watched
closely
as they held hands

touching gently
with their fingers
entwined
like..

if they let go

even for
just
a moment

they would be
lost
without each other
forever..

and
so

i thought..

what else could love be
if it were not made
of magic?

what else could
hold you
so utterly
and completely
together

with just the
touch of
your
fingertips?

She wore flowers in her hair

Sep 2016 Illya Oz

Little Bear

She wore flowers in her hair

even in autumn
she wore flowers
in her hair

as if
they belonged
next to her beautiful
mind
like the daisies
belonged
growing within
the grass

she was an angel
in a summer dress
whispering
To me
her darkest secrets

like precious gifts
She spilt them
from her sweet tongue
into my mouth

and i knew i would
never again
go hungry
as i ate every
single
one

Of little worth

Sep 2016 Illya Oz

Little Bear

Of little worth

Sometimes
The little voice
inside says
"Well there you go,
That just proves your worth,
not very much.. is it?"
And more often than
I'd like to admit
I'm inclined to agree
So I reply
In a smaller voice
*"I know"

free fall

Sep 2016 Illya Oz

Little Bear

free fall

and for the first
time
in my
life

I felt loved

it was like
the
exhilaration
of free
falling

at
terminal
velocity

without a parachute

trusting you
implicitly

that
with your
pure heart

your
kindness and

your
words of
forever

you had then
fashioned
me wings

taking your delight
as you watched
me soar

Happy :o)

Little Bear

Happy :o)

Things that make me happy..
I believe it is the little things
that are the biggest
...if you know what I mean :o)

❤

little things make me happy
the biggest kind of happy I can be
and so I thought that I would list them
so that you can see.
❤
okay so sunshine makes me happy
and cats and birds and dogs
and smiley happy postmen
and kittens and hedgehogs
❤
I like bus rides that are easy
warm socks and and being tickled
walking home in daylight
burgers with extra pickles
❤
I like holding hands and kissing
hot coffee, the colour yellow
children playing happily
sweet toasted warm marshmallows
❤
I like friends that make you smile
even ones that make you frown
and ones that give you butterflies
and they will never let you down
❤
I like sleeping late and bubble baths
words and reading books
blanket forts and fairy lights
sleepy mornings tender looks
❤
I like chocolate coins in summer
iced cold drinks on hot hot days
words of love and of kindness
that make me smile for days and days.
❤
And I like to know you're happy
no matter who you are or what you do
what makes me the biggest happy
Is knowing you are happy too.
❤

Be Soft..

Sep 2016 Illya Oz

Little Bear

Be Soft..

Be soft.
Don't let the world make you hard.
Don't let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that, even though the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Not my quote, I believe it was written by either Iain Thomas or Kurt Vonnegut. I wish I had thought of something so wonderful myself :o)

if only we would love
with our eyes
closed
and our hearts
open

we would not see
the outer shell

we would simply
fall in love with
the soul
the spirit
the heart
before us

for the rest
eventually falls away

Thank you all so so very much for all of the wonderful comments and kind words. I am so very grateful. I woke this morning to so many emails.. i actually thought my Mum had finally managed to use the email account i had set up for her and had sent me some messages :o)
