Wilting and whitening
abandoned in the sun.
I thought of dying but decided
wallowing would be more fun.

I thought to cut my palms
as if opening a letter
but then decided
cutting your throat would be better.
My life -
Is a small poem
Written in my love
For you!
05-03-2015 "LOVE"  from "Attempts in Poetry Writing" 1987
I could paint your name in colours
on a sky that full of you or
write your name across that aeroplane
that flies across the skies in which
I'd like to paint your name or
just telephone.
It's the snow...
That falls around us...
That takes our shame, and leaves us bare.
It's the cold...
That drives us forward...
For we know the spring is coming.

I'm tired inside, I'm dying,
And nobody knows my pain,
I've tried, oh I've tried,
To last until the melting rain,
Till summer comes to move us on from the past,
And give us rest because we are running fast.

It's the snowdrifts...
That pull us down inside...
That heavy weight, of death and guilt.
It's the frigid winds...
That bite our hearts...
And leave us to repent ourselves.

I'm tired inside, I'm dying,
And nobody knows my pain,
I've tried, oh I've tried,
To last until the melting rain,
Till summer comes to move us on from the past,
And give us hope because now we're sleeping at last.
Tribute to Sleeping At Last.
It started ugly, but ended beautifully;
Started as a small hideous caterpillar, but ended with a pretty butterfly;
Started as strangers, but ended as lovers;
Started as a tiny bean, but ended with a giant tree;
Started with war, but ended with peace;

**Some things just start as nothing but will end up with something.
Living in this world is not easy
Trying to be someone I was never meant to be.
Sometimes life will hit you really hard to the point that you feel like almost giving up;
Only to discover that your character just needs to be developed.

Because your faith does not grow when everything is easy;
You need to fight for your faith daily.
Keep in mind that the strongest battles are given to God's strongest soldiers;
Just keep on trusting and I assure you He heard your prayers.

God will not waste anything you go through your life and He knows what He's doing;
Everytime you've overcome something difficult in your life, you are growing.

There's always a certain point in your life that you'll feel that you are lost.
But maybe it's not about finding yourself again,
But actually seeking God again.
Welcome to the maze, the maze of life.
Solve the puzzle, get to the end.
And your efforts will be rewarded.
There are no rules to this maze,
but here are a few to help you along.

Rule number 1: The maze is forever changing.
So always be alert!

Rule number 2: Be careful who you trust, and those you befriend.

And rule number 3, the most important rule:
NEVER mess with the maze!
And you can be assured that the same will be done for you.

Make a wrong move; you've reached a dead end.
Stray off the path, now you're ******.
Every exit, Leads to an entrance.
Just another puzzle...
Waiting patiently to be solved

A few last words, before you begin

This is the maze of life.
It may appear seamlessly endless,
But don't be fooled.

Good luck, and always stay strong.

And just remember this;
For there ever to be a beginning…
There must always be an end.
