I was at your funeral
before you had given me a reason
to cry

For whenever I see the sunset you cross my mind
Left after colouring my life
Too soon I couldn’t bid my goodbye
Too quick without explaining why

Nine months
Of blissful ignorance
Nine months
Of peace
Nine months
Of rest
Nine months
Of safety
Nine months
Of love
Nine months
Without heartbreak
Nine months
Of growth
Nine months... was all we got
What gave the World the right to rob us of so much?

On the shore I stand staring out
into the waves of pure wonderment
and the dark sullen sky, filled with stars
knowing that you were once one of them,
shining within the night sky
before being picked for a life here with me.
The people laughing and playing
oblivious to the absent feeling lying within.
Children enjoying the soft warm sand beneath their feet,
now you never will know such simple joys.
These are the days where I feel as fragile as a china doll
Knowing that I lost someone I never really had.
Looking out across the sea, how it stretches for miles
wishing you the peace and serenity this scene gives me.
Hoping you may get a second chance at life,
back up there among the stars where you can dream.
My little star, someone I never really had at all
but knowing what could have been I still look up to see you shining!

I wondered in sleep
Body momentarily still,
The alarm goes off

I think I gave you
a little too much of my soul,
I think I may have let go
of myself a little too soon,
I don't think I loved you,
I think I just really didn't know what love is.

We are only at the start of the week,
There is plenty of time to reach our peak.
Don’t let the weekend linger in your mind,
Seriously get on with the real time.
Put your weekend mind at rest,
Unleash your brainier self with the chance to be the best.
Forget the mondayitis,
Make sure you don’t guide it.
Too much focus can be too unhealthy,
Be nice to your brain and focus on the wealthy.
The parts that have grown in your life,
The ones that are special and show your true light.
Monday is for reflecting your achievements to follow,
Let your days and weeks go by knowing that the start of your time is only the shadow.

My love for you is
A looming tune
Unnaturally grew
Way too soon

Rush these days
of restless pacing
of watching the clock
with an anxious heart
waiting to seek reassurance
through your hands
laced with mine
These seconds away pass too slowly
and the hours with you
pass too soon
Life's unfair
and I think too much
maybe I care too much...

came creeping
over the horizon

The other side of love
The side no one wants to talk about
The side everyone sees as ugly
The side that they call hurtful and painful
The side they blame their own failures on
The side that takes our abuse
And our punishment
And our stupid pride
And our indifference
And our neglect
And our hate for it...
The hurt days of love
The bad months
The horrible lonely years
The cold nights
The armless dreams
Where there is nothing
To hang onto
But the misery of our
Failed attempts
Side of love...
No one stops to look
At it
Feel it
Really feel it
Other side of love
They're too busy
Filling their empty
Souls
With resentment
And anger
And disappointed
For it
Side of love
If they did though
If they stopped
For a moment
Stopped their
Woe is me
Pitty
Loathing
Moment
And listened
And looked
And just felt
The air there
On the
Other side of love
They would feel
And see
And hear
That it is every bit
As beautiful as
Its opposite
That it is nothing
More than the
Exact reflection
Mirror image
Of the absolute
Truth of love
That love
True
Perfect
LOVE
Is
Mad
Mad
Madness
It doesnt have sides
It is always whole
And complete
Full waiting
To be poured out
To needing hands
Empty waiting to
Be filled with
The kindness of
Strangers
Always broken
And always
Unbreakable
Its unexpected
And unexplainable
No reason
And absolute
Sense
The
Answer
To the perplexing
Question
Of life
Answered
Perfectly by being
The question
Of life
Itself
Give into its
Mad
Mad
Madness
And be
Grateful
To have
This chance
To go
Stark
Raving
Lunatic
Crazy
Mad
Through the
Good days
Bad nights
Lonely years
Cold armless
Dreams
Beautiful
Pain of
It all
Life
Let it
Break you
And make
You unbreakable
Be whole
And complete
And be
The
Mad
Mad
Mad
You
You were meant
To be
Go crazy
You
*******
Lunatics

Started my day, before son was off to school
coffee in hand, checking my feed,
see a top story days ago from you
I go to your page, to leave a kind hello
been some time, figured it overdue
finding posts, that tore me to my soul
You are gone, passed some 18 hours before
this has to be wrong, everyone is wrong
I can't scroll fast enough for the mistake
My eyes are watering, too much to read
the shock of it, many giving their condolences
trying to hold together, while son is still home
Not much older than me, A beautiful soul
can't grasp the reality, even if it's all there
my heart has broken another piece
I wish I had spoken to you sooner
to hear your voice and laughs again
to have a moment once more
I am still not sure, to feel as I do
having been through this many times
fears of being close, but cherishing all the times
All I can say, thinking of your spirit and heart
that for as much as I will miss you
as much as I don't understand why
that I have been blessed, in having the time with you.
Go now, onto the Lord
For your workings here are fulfilled
thank you to being an Angel
giving a glimpse of what Heaven will be.
Rest with God, Dearest Kristine <3

A midwinter dream,
the land of living betwixt,
I find mostly serene.
There are days, though, it seems
this land is full of conflict
and less of dreams.
This land of death and screams
where children take their last breaths,
and everyone demands to know what it means.
Take solace in the fact one cannot intervene,
a spot is secured with every death
on the better side of things.
And be thankful, in the end, it is not up to us- you see,
The Lord taketh, and he giveth, and so who the hell are we?
I would much rather remember, than be the one to take away another's dream.

I watch you watch me.
Your staring blue-green eyes
Like a summer Corfu sea
laugh as the seagull cries
Wishing things could be.
We know that it's too soon
And now it is too late
Since we met in early bloom
Not worried about fate.
But now we realize
How perfect we both could be
And in dismayed surprise
How much we need to see.
And so we love in silence
Our wings willingly clipped
Pausing any violence
Our hearts so clearly stripped.
One day one must leave
To live our youths away
And I will only grieve
Seeing our time decay.

I wanted you all the while
I was in love with someone else
But it was you who made me smile
And made my heart melt
But I didn’t want to be alone
And I knew our timing wasn’t right
So I settled for the thing I’d known
Ignoring thoughts of you that came at night
I shut off all those feelings
And told myself it was wrong
Ignoring that love should have no ceiling
And that I couldn’t live like that for long
And now I just want to tell you
How strongly that I feel
But I fear you won’t like the way I grew
And for real was not our deal
