Whenever I feel this way
Thinking I've nothing to say
I gather my thoughts straightaway

With the words on a page
Simply rearrange
Letters like a Daisy-Chain

The Intent is clear
I hold dear
How I truly feel
IT'S REAL!

1st Poem/Words of 1st Album Concept I have challenged myself to create during 2024 - Life Willing. .  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqZIPsTcjVo
Hum & Erm (Inner/ Gut-tur-al - Crying Out Sound)

Get out of my face
I'm not playing your games anymore
Stop ******* with my mind
This conversation is so out -of-line

Hum & Erm (Inner/ Gut-tur-al - Crying Out Sound)

Yes I have my concerns
That you'll never learn
That your kind (type) of spin
Is simply to rope me in

Hum & Erm (Inner/ Gut-tur-al - Crying Out Sound)

There's nothing to hide
Seeking a good life
I've nothing to say
And that's okay

Hum & Erm (Inner/ Gut-tur-al - Crying Out Sound)

If it is true you are what you eat
Is it true then you are who you  live with
Befriend or work alongside?
I've been really wondering lately
Hopefully not in a  judgemental sense
Simply because I am just glad
Not to be entangled all the time
In certain connections
By keeping aware
Of the Freedoms in Choice
Live A Purposeful  Life!

Your Hand felt Warm
Bed Side in ICU
Even though You
Didn't Look like You
Strapped up on
Life Support
A Dialysis Machine
Catheters and Drips
Surreal  The Scene

The essence though
Of who You are
Was not far
You were there
As we all cared
Be there for You
Holding On
As You Fight
A Fight
We know you can
A Breakthrough
In Sight!

Hold On!

Am I renovating
Or letting go
Of All
I no longer need?

Is this a Dream
Or an emotional Scene
Deciding what to Toss
Then  Box?

Will  New Paint and Tiles
Erase A sense of Time
And Memories of Mind
In this space called Home?

After 20 years
Is it possible to face
All kinds of  Fear
Especially Change?

Or will I simply
See this process through
To experience
Something New?

I prefer to  Concede
My ongoing thoughts
Will eventually reveal
What will BE!

It amuses me how I often thought of the Colour Green
As simply Hue stained leaves that dressed the Trees
Or Carpeted parts of the Earth
Like Seas of Turf
Also taking Flight
In the Sky
Certain Birds
Distinctly Green
And a number of Reptiles
With such a Glow
However now I know
In our World
When Human Beings Create
They may tap into the Stream
That Flows Green....

Mosaïque de vert

Cela m’amuse comment j’ai pensé souvent à la couleur verte
Simplement comme teinte coloré des feuilles qui habille les arbres
Ou des parties de la moquette des mers comme terre de gazon
En prenant le vol dans le ciel
Certains oiseaux
Distinctement vert
Et un certain nombre de Reptiles
Avec un tel éclat
Mais maintenant je sais
Dans notre monde
Quand créer des êtres humains
Ils peuvent puiser dans le flux
Les coulées vertes....

When stung by a certain pain
For a second you are almost  insane
However you  quickly  figure out
Not to bottom out
By choosing to see what you need to
In  a different light
Like wisely surrender from the fight
Long enough to remember
It is not your battle
So why take it on
Move On!
It is ruddy  exhausting scribbling down
The thoughts  from overnight
Like it is some F'King Plight!

You think it is a Dream
Till you  Scream
I'm staying in Bed!
Get out of my F'King Head!

Out of Silence
Time to Explore
New Chapters
Different Doors

Nothing to lose
Only Gains
Moving beyond
Fanciful Games

A lighter load

Awake Now
Will not Tarry

No need to run
Just dance and smile
And have some  fun
Happily in the Sun.

Everyday there is  New Sky
With Cloud Adornments
Where Thunder  may Choose to Speak
Or Rain  Decides it will Tumble Down

Sun may Shine and Hide
In a patch of Blue
Or  burst  Cloud

Comes Nightfall
Near or Far
A Symphony of Stars
And a Moon of many Phases

24/7
I LOVE the Heavens
And all the Treasures

My Weakness is no longer an Obstacle
And this sense of loss is not true
It was manufactured over time
Ensued....

From what I thought could be
Was simply not a  reality
No confirmation of knowing

Frightened by an Avalanche
I witnessed in a Dream
Clearly revealed the Barricade
I needed to See....

Life is for Living
Living I will
With a purpose of Love

I am not fazed anymore
About opinions
Fired  from beyond

Nor am I ever ready
To protect all my feelings
In such a way

Also I'd rather not
Be judgmental
So  go ahead
Have your say
You have to live with it anyway!

Debra Lea Ryan Sep 2016
Je suis profondément étonné et me sens fuyais
Parce que je suis en train de comprendre
Pourquoi Quelqu'un que je considérais comme un ami
Je pensais que j'interféré avec les choix dans leur vie.

Ils ont fini rapidement notre contact
Après ce mois d'un heureux semblait amende honorable
C'est vrai qu'ils avaient brutalement déconnectée une fois avant
Et je devais les laisser revenir dans ma vie à nouveau
Respecté cette étape qu'ils avaient pris
Sur leur chemin de récupération!

Émotionnellement, cela est difficile à manipuler deux fois en un an
Donc, je me demande maintenant fait qu'ils ont un agenda caché
Ou une crainte valable comme ils ont discuté de notre amitié avec les autres
Au lieu de Together. Pourquoi?

DLR
03/09/2016

Why?
I am deeply stunned and feel shunned
Because I am trying to understand
Why Someone I considered a Friend
Thought I interfered with the choices in their life.

They quickly ended  our contact
Following what seemed months of  a happy amends
That’s right they had  rudely disconnected once before
And I had let them back in my life again
Respected this step they had taken
On their Path of Recovery!

Emotionally this is  difficult to handle twice  in one Year
So I am Wondering now did they have a hidden agenda
Or a valid Fear as they discussed our Friendship with Others
Instead of  Together.  Why?

Out of the Silence I listened to my Heart Speak yes it was wounded and I wanted to express it.  I often keep all the pain to myself however it doesn't pay rent, I've let it out and I am getting on with living the life of Love I Love Living....
It is kind of liberating
Not being flowery
Minding Ps and Qs
Inside of You.

When waves of strife
Crash upon the keel
Equipped I Am
At the Wheel
I flag peace
To Still My Sea
Anchor Safely
Within my being!

If Dark clouds
Block my view
I search
The compass
Of My Mind
Even work overtime
To navigate a new course
Away from the gale force!

Sailors resting on the land
Put themselves to a test
When they hear my SOS
Ready and able
To give a hand
They plot Fearlessly
A Rescue in destructive Sea
Deep and Dark
Beyond me!

(c) Debra Lea Ryan, 25/10/10

When I'm safely on the shore
My heart still yearns to explore
Follow my dreams - Flow with the Sea
Honour  Love Within You and Me.

( 31/03/11)
I reworked/retitled  this Piece to be a part of  my online Cine-Poetry project located at my personal website and You Tube.

Anchoring

When waves that Wound
Crash upon the keel
Equipped We Are
At the Wheel
To flag peace
Still the Sea
Anchor Safely
Within our being!

I never thought I'd understand
Why you wanted to be my friend
My heart was lost at sea
Love rescued me

As you sailed in from the blue
You knew exactly what to do
Set my anchor free
Love me

Sailing Ships in the breeze
Baby that's you and me
Sails up - sail on
Survive the storms.

Dark thoughts consuming YOU
Let me out - You Shout
Free me (cause) I don't want to BE
Lost in Shattered Dreams

This is why I need to Go
From this ugly Scene

Moved to write this as my official first piece for 2019!  I really did sense the breeze in my silence and enjoyed the journey.
Sometimes I  want to disappear from view
You know to work on what I know I need to
Like being in the Breeze of What is Me
Without questioning  if this  decision is an  extreme

Perhaps I hunger for more routine in life
Free  from the sufferings and strife
To experience the sense of nothingness
And flow more mindfulness!

On a Winter's Day
When I'd rather be in bed
However I need to release
These thoughts from my head
So  I've dressed
For success
To attend to this deed
With ****  looking Ugg Boots
Right up to my knees
And  I'm wrapped up tight
In a groovy  Dressing Gown
The kind that flows from the Neck Down
Until the material hits the Ground
