Players are we all
for so it seems
attraction nowadays
results in the game

there is always some game to it
depends how you look at it
which side you are
what benefit you aim
what you do seek from it all

a message is sent
a wait is kept
hope
desire
yearning
all intensifying as time goes on

tick tock
yet again you look
still nothing
what do you do
how are you feeling
do they care
are they real

tick tock
feels like time stands still
your thoughts rushing
your head muddled

tick tock
a reply
minutes
hours
days
later

so you hope
you do get on in life
but still wonder
are they real

why do they play
why not just be genuine
protection they say
careful they do act

do they even care
do they realise
do they understand

or is it all just mere words
on a screen
you write
you read
you send
you wait

the game it feels
to wait for what
acknowledgement
a sign of interest
showing that they think of you
that they may want you for you

seriously now
be real
do they even realise
or understand

tick tock
a game is all it boils down to
waiting
for this
for that
for hope
for what really?

Do you play the Game??

WE are what we are
for each moment has been
in this moment we are
lost in thoughts
on what will be the next instance

ARE there more moments
we ponder over
that have been
before us and after us

TIME to go
for that is the moment
of what does come
future sees what we do not

INFINITE is all that is
let it come for us
take us and make us
our path does cross
somewhere out there
for ever to be

What we write
we say
think
hear
see

Are they ours
Are they yours
Are they anyones

We all write
what we feel
both mindful
and meaning

However a word
is just a word

do we write it
do we think it
do we feel it
what do we really do with it

It comes to us
we flow
as our thoughts go
for we not know what comes
till it is infront of us

then the WORD is written

Our meaning is different from yours
what we portray is ours
it differs from what you read

It means the same though
your perception says more
than mere words do

Even though we all write just words
they hold us
captivate us
entrap us
into your thoughts
trying to understand you
yes you the writer
yes you the reader

Words are just that
its the meaning
the power
the understanding
the context

that makes
your words
our words
the words

become truth to us all
Read what you want
See what you want
Believe what you want
Feel what you want

For we write
you read
we feel
you feel
you try to understand the complexity of who we are
as the writer and the reader

Enjoy

How we see each day
as it comes and goes
with it so do we
in present
past
and future
are we

How we live it
is our choice
how we see it
is ours to see

How do you see our life
Is not the same as me

Open
Closed
Free
Trapped
Happy
Sad

Only we can live our Life

Enjoy
Be Happy in spirit
Be True to yourself
For then you are truly happy
Open up your eyes
Enjoy the true nature
of what life has to offer

SEE
i tell you
but you do not hear

LOOK
but you do not see
what is truly there

BE
yourself
Be
free
be
true

You are you
It is your life
Why not be happy
enjoy life to the full

Truth is just a word
It is a feeling
So be truthful to yourself
See the truth in LIFE

A closed Mind
is what you have
closed to see what is there

For little is seen
not realised
true potential

Time to move on
a space is there
in time and place
for little is going

round and round
thoughts are had
little time
is left

move on
think differently
time to stand still
no more

up and away
feel free
peace in thoughts be had

now in this
speak what you may
think what must be
time is the teller of all things

A clsoed mind
be that of yours

Open it and see
Feel alive again
time does tell

tick
tock
move on
time has come and gone

now you see
now you dont
for with each second
new thoughts come and go

so be gone
are old thoughts
new thoughts are due

A closed mind
now let it free
Come
Come i say

Let you open up and see
how free you truly are
A closed mind you now have

A never ending circle
you travel your thoughts in
so closed and still
in time you be

free
Free
FREE

Let your mind be

I have seen you many times
never realising the true value within you
not till that day
when we did speak

for since then i have thought about you
about what we spoke about
how you feel
what you feel
what you think

a natural beauty i see you as
so much potential there is
that within you i do see
so much to offer

it seems you are not truly happy
love is what you make of it
happiness comes from the truth within us all

be truthful to yourself
be true to what you want in life

how do you really feel
only you can asnwer that

From our car journey
i did tell you
so much of what i see and feel
that now time has gone by
i think about you
and see you are still in the same place
as you were that day

For now i have seen you
a few times since
each time so different but so alike
for each has been unannounced
so i have seen your natural beauty

I wish i could take your hand
to lift you up and show you
that there is more to you
you are worth more than you feel
right now

To offer you what you have lost
to take what i see
A natural beauty
so much potential
so rare an individual
that has touched me so

With you comes happiness
Truth
Love
Free spirit

To see you smile
to hear you laugh
to smell your aroma
to touch your heart
to feel your touch
to see you for you

A natural beauty you are to me
for there is more than what the eye does see
a depth that has been closed
turned off to those that do not see
for feelings are trapped
emotions are off

Little it truly known
A small part is rarely seen
Taste of you is never felt
Caress of such softness is not fully appreciated

Limited is what you have felt
from words once spoken
your mind body and soul
have ceased to value
their true potential and happiness

Freedom in you
is sought but not found
fear of future may be held
darkness of what is to come
for every step is the same

so i ask of you
come take my hand
see what there is
feel what is not
sense what has been lost
find yourself
find what it is you seek

My hand i offer you
a life is what you have
take it if you look to the future
and see you for the Natural Beauty you truly are

Hello
All i want to do is ask you something
How can i....
Have you a.....
Do you want.......

But no...
walk on by
ignore me

That is all you do
I just want to help you
But you care not
Do not listen to me
Why should you

I am just me
A passer by
Someone who wants to take up your time

Wait you spoke to me
You listened
You replied
You asked me

Now you go
By and by
Walk away
A thank you i say

You do not care
You do not really listen

Why should you
Why oh why

I was disturbing your thought
I was pestering your walk
I was intruding on your time

Now you walk on by

All i want is to....
Please can i ask
Do you mind if

I repeat myself
But no one listens
I ask so many
But so few stop

To take a minute or two
and listen
to benefit from my words
to help you

Those few that do
I thank you
for you made my day
today

Just a little yes
just a little time
just a little moment
Just you

Thank you i say
I will help you
This is what i do

Crowds come and go
People pass me by
Work i should do
But browse i am

Why not
For work i still do
People i still talk to
Listen i do

For you have taken a moment in time
to actually listen to me
to hear what i say
to understand the value of my words

Thank you
For today
Those few
That said YES
Working on a Saturday....
