Have you ever spoken to the moon?
I wonder how many secrets its craters hold.
I wonder if the secrets are what give it it's beauty.
I ask you, does your soul wander when you look up to the night sky,
Then get lost between the moon rocks?
Do you see yourself reflecting back?
Or the man on the moon watching, observing and protecting you?
Is it a refreshing feeling knowing you are insignificant
Against a giant porcelain beauty?
Does the coolness of the moons beams fill you,
And give you new hope in a home long destroyed?
Can you find peace within the moon?
Can you find peace within me?
Close your eyes, search deeper in your veins.
You'll find beauty, peace and happiness soon enough.
My daughter asked the other day
"Mum why can't I go out to play?"
Cause it's too dangerous ;was my reply
(She stared intently into my eyes)
What can happen ?
She simply said
As she frowned and tilted her little head

Oh there's too many cars it's a busy street
And some naughty people
I don't want you to meet
Oh ? she said with a sigh!
(And looked intently into my eyes)

"Well ! god will protect me "
I've said a prayer
But in case he's gone out
And he's not there
Does he have a post box?
"Cause I'd like to write  -him a nice letter"
I'll post it tonight
What will you write ? "I hear myself say"

"I will ask him to take"
The naughty people away!
"Oh I don't think he can do that"

"She said but why?"?

(As she looked intently into my eyes)
I'm not too sure I tried to explain
Looking puzzled.   She let out a sigh again!

"Well I'm writing it anyway"
"I'm going to say"!
Dear god ,
I just want to go out and play........
My daughter actually said this so I put it in verse and for once I was stuck for an explanation
Another day
Another night
Another poem
I must write
Like an addict
It's my fix
Never writing
Contradicts
My greatest pleasure
When I write
This is my Privelage
This is my plight
This is  my air
I need to breath
This is my ground
That stands beneath
This is my love
My passion found
This is my sight
My taste
My sound
This is everything
I can be
No chains
That bind
Completely  Free.............
This says it all
Where are we going
I ask is it time?
Should you go your way
I go mine
We've reached a cross roads
We're standing still
Now climbing mountains
But somehow
Lost the thrill
No direction
Tired  worn
Forgotten our promises
Our future sworn
Just going through the motions
Have one life
It's mine
So I will now ask the question
Shall we quit
Is it time ??

He who came, on a weary road
saw little difference in life
of how it was before
and how it revolves in strife ,
but he couldn't perhaps be told
as for what he heard where whispers in his head
and things that were less lively, yet almost dead
He wasn't insane but sanity was absent
and it was winds that whispered to him in their
own soft accent
that in the language of life
but he couldn't hear it
he was deafened

His solitude was his prison
his dwelling, his vision
his presence in his own utopia
where he found himself alone
but to mess his expectations
came other souls
he wasn't there the only one
but there were others too along
who he shared his breath
there was compassion's warmth  
and deceit's wrath
and he was disturbed

He wouldn't want to be a label
where one's eyes would tag him
and a free life is a fable
in this world he lives which in grim
is much a pain to his time
Time is so limited yet just to live
in himself he wanted much to believe
but it was exploited
at heart, and retorted
by his own grimaces
because of the judging face
so he became dumb

Not a word heard, not a word said
walking on his own, living or dead
he walks step by step
still judged by many and by some
He is deafened, disturbed and dumb
The story of many good men i know
Rustling branches, falling leaves ,silently they fall
Carpeting the winter grounds
Large oak trees standing tall

Whispering winds echoing clear
The highest pitch
I feel you near
I think I hear you
I turn around
I search but nowhere
To be found

I walk to the park our favourite place
Every step we took -I trace
I find our tree ,our names enscribed
Behind it you often used to hide
I miss your smile
Your warm embrace
Your loving touch
Beautiful face
Such joyfull memories

"Still "!  each winter brings
I feel your spirit

When the robin sings.

It's been good for a while
Isolated, away from the pressures.
But now i can barley hold back tears
As I am flung back into this social spiderweb
Welcome back to school
Our relationship Now a memory
Our love a distant stranger
We held hands
Touched hearts
Entwined souls
For a while
But now
It's time
To move on
It was not in vain
We have enriched each others lives
Sewn beautiful memories
Into the tapestry of our lives
Like a caged dove I must allow you to fly
Be happy my love
You were never really mine
I wish only the best for you
Always..........
Painted my nails
Painted my toes
Put on my lipstick
Powdered my nose
Plucked my eyebrows
Curled my hair
Can't decide
What to where?!
Should I wear jeans?
Or perhaps a dress
I'm very nervous
I must confess
Butterflies in my stomach
Another drink
Drunk too much
Now I can't think
Will he like me
Will he not
My front door key
Oh no I forgot !
What time is it?
My god I'm late!
Don't you just hate
Going on a first date ?
