DIVINITY
Tom Blake Jan 2017
A
Small soft hand took hold of mine (adult).
This, to my eternal gratitude, has happened
Manifold times throughout My life.
This time
Was
Different, more of a connection...
I
Would call it
DIVINE!

When I looked down at the little one's clutch...
It was
My own
Infant hand in mine.

Circle complete.

I am ready
For
The
Infinite... Always was since my inception...
I do not look up to anyone! Similarly, I do not look down on anybody! We are all equal! Remember that!

Light is 1st.
Tom Blake Jan 2017
Picture
An angry sky...
Thunder and lightning
Tornado and cyclones,
Turning things asunder,
The
End is nigh!

Looks bleak
Is an understatement!

However,
Behind the angry sky
Permanent and steadfast
The SUN still shines
Sustained
By GOD'S
LOVE and CARE.
GOD
Is always there,
Like
The Sun.

Behind
The darkness
There is Light,
Giving everlasting
Hope  and respite
Through Life...
Ne'er despair,


Our Creator is ALWAYS there!
Always,
With the Best of  intentions!
Happy New Year to all on this site, And sincere best wishes always to those who believe in LOVE...Not sugary love!

LOVE!
Not just monetary,

Even
If it is a tender touch
Kiss on the cheek.
If it is done
In sincerity,
From the HEART
No more needs to be said!

No more worrying
We
Are doing just fine.

What can one say?
Tom Blake Dec 2016
The
World
Is Rotten
To the
Core.

It
Is a plague...Hades... pestilence... mental and physical disablement....An Aged BUT ever
Young
Entity...
I
Love you
With
A
Feeble touch, cooling your brow...a stroke...with heartfelt motion.
What I write is not profound but.........

Outdoors
Tom Blake Dec 2016
As a child I remember being bored...
Days of unbearable ennui.
I
Remember amusing myself with toys,
Looking out the window on rainy days
And Wishing
It would STOP
So Mum would let me go out to play.
Sometimes
I would  see my friends outside and
Run  and plead  to go out!
It
Would Hurt deeply
When Mum said " No!"
However,
I would ignite with Joy
If she said " Yes!"
I would Hurry to put my shoes on...

Once outside,
I CAME TO LIFE!
Childhood memory.

Struggling to Speak
Tom Blake Dec 2016
Feel
Like a lamb,
Innocent
And
So PURE!

Waiting...
To be slaughtered!

For
What?
Histories mistakes?
MAN'S?
Whose?
Certainly,
Not Mine!

I jump around the meadows
All Day
Waiting....for a
Mutual
Friend to
Play
With.

Many times
I
Ask
What have I done?

Just
Let me play
Don't
Take My world away
Which
Many will do
And,
Like the population,
Don't
Have
A
SAY.

By Violet.

Tom Blake Nov 2016
I walked
For a time
Down the path
THEY
Paved for me

(Singular observation,from myself )

They
Wanted to guide
MY every
Step
Through Their World
Their Creation
Then,
I felt
A sudden Sensation:
Not In Control!

I
Took a turn
Digressed
Like
The Lateral Thinker....

Now,
I am free to a degree (Probably, that's as far as it will get for most of us) regardless,
I feel a
Dilation
Liberation
Emancipation
Salvation.

BOOM!

...the sound of the news via TV reporting the war in...

Just a Thought
Tom Blake Nov 2016
What if
God
Showed
Adam and Eve a visual
Like we do watching  a cinema screen
Or
In a dream as it was written so biblically,
The
Consequences
Of eating
The forbidden fruit,
Whould
They
Still
Have chosen
To
Bring All the wars and bloodshed
Immorality
Mortality
Upon themselves
And
Their Children?

IF
Things
Were explained properly, in detail,
What
Such an action would result in,
Would
They,
PRECIOUS CHILDREN,
Have
Ignored such horror and still
Proceeded
In eating...the
Forbidden fruit?

What
Can I say?... My mind's a whirl!
Because of history and a  Bewildered world.... BUT,
I
Am both, a Boy ...and Girl .
And,
I love both sexes within me.
While you,( devil?)
Bomb,
Annihilate
The
Daisies
In the fields...World war1/2...if there is is WW3 it is the ultimate stupidity... insanity!
"I "
Just,
To let the daisies in the grass know
I
Will
Water you...
Do

Preserve YOUR,
Significance,Wonderment
With
One
Drop

Came through, blood and guts
And "pretty things"...
Written down,

From something vacant...
Suffice.
SPIRITUAL.
Tom Blake Nov 2016
Take me
To your realm of Love,
Oh my Precious little Dove,
Take me there,
Let me Share,
ALL
My
LOVE
With

I,at times, feel/think I am vacant of Love... the love I do see and feel in the world around Me fills me Love----a Child's smile, a Sunset...a bird's flight from a perch expressing it's
Freedom with its wings.

I,Violet, like many....
Tom Blake Nov 2016
I,
Am not aggressive
Just
Expressive.
People
Take me the wrong way.

I,
HAVE
To speak up....
Even to say... look at the snow falling,
That butterfly flit from flower to a human hand.
SO
Many people
Shut their minds and mouths.
MUTE.
Speak up for Yourself ,and... the human race!
This
LIFE
We ALL
Have been given
Is a GiFT



...from the Heavens above...
So , hold out your arms out wide ....and embrace it, because
Paradise
Was never lost!

Look!
Just LOOK
At what WE
Have ALL
Been Given !!!!

Thoughts,
By Violet.
Love
ALL
Without
Hate.
Tom Blake Nov 2016
They are not an invasion,
But a new equation,
Going forward,
A new nation.

Going forward,
We can embrace,
A different face,
In a new place.

Going forward,
New plans,
Different clans,
In a new land.

Dear God,
Tom Blake Nov 2016
You win Me with your Authorship/ Wisdom.

Why
Am I So dumb?

I know
I can thump my chest,
Scream
Into the Heavens...

It makes no difference,
No response,
No mitigation.
And,
You're right.
I
Will always be wrong.

BUT,
Nov 2016 · 623
Take me...
Tom Blake Nov 2016
...for Who I am!
Not for what I've got
Not for what I know
Not for my money;
Don't take me for show.
Just take me
For...ME.

Show me
You care,
You
Will always be there
And
I will care
And
Be there for
YOU.

One can feel guilty
For
Being alive,

When
So many die.
One

Feel guilty laughing
While
So many cry.

I will cry, I will die.

I've found me
Tom Blake Oct 2016
Why
Do I write?
To express myself with words
But,
Most of all
Freedom too express!
It
Has taught me
Who
I really am,
Taught me to Believe in myself,
Brought
Out all my inner most thoughts,
Fears and Joys.
Thoughts that lay in my head dormant
For years.
I
Did not know!


Did not know
Who
I really was....
Until I put pen to paper.
Thank you
Quill and parchment.

Child,
Grow up for heaven's sake!
Be quiet !
Speak when you are spoken too!
Children

To let others know...Beware
Of
Grown ups!

For your response, fellow writers on H.P.,
To my
Attempts
At painting
With
Words
Which
I know are, to me,
Inadequate.
Why? Well, like, Socrates , hailed as a wise man, told you all
HE new nothing.
I
Know
There is more
I can do to get it right.  BUT ,Right, in accordance to what and who?
The
RIght/Write
Is YOU!...And, acknowledging The CREATOR and CHRIST.

I
Have faults amany,
Like
Everyone...
I
Am like YOU
But are ME
Struggling
Like
CHRIST
Trying to be nice
Preventing a Nuclear Holocaust
To say
Simply
I
LOve
You
From the bottom of MY heart.
I
Can go on forever with my rant (while pulsating one should!)
There
Is so much more I want to express
And
Will
If GOD respires.

Big Bang!(?)
Tom Blake Oct 2016
All of a sudden!
I
Became AWARE (of what?)
Of
An
Existence
Concrete
And
Abstract!
WOW!
I
Felt ecstasy...Then,( the big spoiler)
AGONY!...
I
Learned after a period
Agony was the more pronounced;
Mental and physical
Anguish, and seeming insanity prevailed...
Especially among the educated and most holy.
Wrong
And Evil propagates, I observe...but let me stress....Not,
From MY source... INDIVIDUAL entity!

I am there...by your side...
Something
Brought
US
Together.
I feel
I have
Been here
Before.
I get
Such a Strong vibe
From you
Like, I guess,
You get from me.

Are
You
An angel?
Who
Sent YOU
To me?
Why,
Pick
ME?
Life is a river, a breeze, you and me ,and, a  MOMENT!
