LOVE, on wood,
Is raised
Perpendicular
Into the grey sky.
Below
The intense agony
And silent victim
Stand the military
Gambling
For his apparel.
Mary and Mary Magdalene lament...
Above,
Utters of despair, forgiveness...
Then death.

Imperceptible
To the organic eye,
His Spirit ascends into the opening
Sky;
And there in the empyrean
He bides his time
For the Love---
Of ALL mankind.

Spread out before me
Is an undulating sea
By it I walk
When I want to feel free
I stroll by the sea
There, I reflect on things
Mother earth she spins
Mankind through their days
With their ways.

Spread out above me
Is a vivid bleu sky
With cotten wool clouds
Passing me by
On the sand I lie
My senses embrace the day
While in the distance children play...
What a display!

It's nature's medication for my ailing soul
To walk on the beach on my own
I wonder too, if God notices me
Take respite from life's frequent storms
And a world gone wrong.

Spread out before me is a universe so vast
Me on the shore with questions to ask
But i' m going to relax...
Feel the sea wash my feet
Touch the burning stand
Dwell a while in the serenity
Of God's land.

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.

By Patrick Comfrey.

It's another day
The minutes tick away
You sit and knit
I sit and sketch
A flower
In a vase
On the table.

We are but two
Doing what we do
There are very many
Doing too.

It' s another day
The minutes tick away
You nurse the baby
I sing a song
About us
In a day
Passing time away.

You run on ahead, Full of life
Fresh as the flowers we pass,
I'm coming, i'm following
Slowed down by the weight of life...
You make me smile
Make me run with you
And
Before you know it,
I' m out of breath.

I sit and rest, watch you at play
My mind wanders to yesterday
When I was young and played in
The Sun...
Where's My age of innocence gone?

Your running
Toward me
Calling ' Dad!'
My arms are
Wide open, to catch you...
You
Make me smile.
Son, it's fun with you!
And
Before you know it...
You
Will be a Man.

Life,
You'll
Be
The
Death
Of Me.

Bath bomb You
Erupted
In my bath tonight
Like a volcano...

I enjoyed watching you
As you
Bubbled away.

You ignited
With so much sweetness
And scent... floral essence!

The
Petals within
Floated
To the surface
Like a Garland
Toward the shore.

Bath bomb
You gave me the universe
And more
You
Bath bomb
I adore.

SPLASH!

By Violet.

I
Can
Only
Write
Half a song,
Paint
Only half
A picture
Write
Half a
Poem.
Half love
Half care...
I
Am
Incomplete!
BUT
Let me say
I
Enjoy
Half
A lemon
Half
A Sunset.

Concentrate
On
Yourself...

And
NATURE.
All
You need to know
Is
In
YOU!

Don't, don't
Ever
Doubt yourself!
Believe,
Believe,
Believe,
In
Yourself!
YOURSELF.

He was making his way
To the job centre to claim a benefit,
When a garden Rose,
During his perambulation toward
degregation, SMILED!...he felt
A connection...
He dismissed it!
Thinking himself unworthy,
Why?...Well,( the system)FAILING...
Failing as a child
Failing at school
Failing in society
Failing those that rule.
The ROSE ignored the rule...
To the ROSE, it RULED with its flaws  and
Perfection!
The Rose knows
More
Than humankind knows!
The
Rose Smiled...
It's the Only way HE
Could interprete it...
It
Was
A
SMILE!
Of the Greatest
Genuinitity!

He Smiled back
And felt SO good!

Let me repose
For a while
Beside
Your
Calm self.
You
See,
I
Am
The opposite,
I
Need
Composed.

Beside you I recline
Beside you I unwind
Settle with time...

YOU
Listen ,
You care
You
Hold me,
Stroke my hair, say, "There!"

This life
You know
At times, gives me the shakes.
The
Things that go on
Get
A bit too much to take.
Think
I'm going to break,
Shatter
Into space.

Then...
I think
Of you...

I come to you...and,

Beside
YOU
I recline,
Beside
YOU
I
Unwind...

Settle...

With
TIME.

I want to **** myself.
Why?
Because
I
Want
To
LIVE!

There is no room for pacifists
In this world;
It's a militant's Paradise.

Elevate and extricate me
From
This disconcerting and turbulent
State
Immerse my being
Into a state of Felicity and equanimity...
My body has ( like many)  been
BEATEN
Long enough by this infernal world.
I want
To Rest!
I
Don't want to see no more
PEOPLE
Being persecuted
Humiliated, duped,
Lame, blind, insane, in PAIN!

This euphoria I seek
I not only want it
For Myself
I want it
For Everyone.

Lord, hear my plea....
Accommodate
Me.

WE
ARE
ALL
INFERIOR...
No one
Is Superior!

Tell me different?

I wash
My body in the sea
Waves
Wash
Over me
Waves greater than me
Powerful and strong
Tsunami!
Yet,
I feel
Your liquid Purify Me
Your strength petrify me!

I swim
Back
To the shore...
As
My Soul
Can't  take it anymore.

How can You live
With All that wealth
When
Out there
On the same planet
Others
Struggle with little
To exist.

RICH  POOR
It is repetitive.


And WRONG!
An immediate conflict.

Like industrialisation
May seem
Like
Progress,
But
In reality
It's
A mess!
It's
A vacant creation
VACUOUS!
It' s
Against NATURE !
Against
Purity
And
Truth.
It's
Nothing to do  with
Old age or Youth,
Biology
And
ALL
The
Ologies...
Academics
Scientists
Historians
Politicians
Theologia­ns...
Do Not Call The Shots!
Remember
This
My
Precious
Children
Which
At your outset
Outshine
The
Establishment...
Created
By
...?

I can't believe it!
Can't believe it's true
You've lost your love for me
Gone off with someone new,
Leaving me behind
With a tortured mind
I'm still very  much in love with you
How can you be so unkind!?

Don't shut the door!
To come back no more
Don't walk away with another's hand!
Leaving mine alone, reaching out
And wanting you to be there
Feeling only air
My hand is groping in a void
Soon, my heart will be destroyed.

Don't leave me
Be
Near me
Do  you hear my cry
While beside another you lie?

My cry is in vain
In pain I remain
You were rational, you were right
I'm just
A little uptight...
I utter  goodbye with tears in my eyes
I hope
You get on well
As I burn  in Hell!

Don't
Leave me
Be
Near me!

Do you
Hear me?

Is the Flower
You've got to let grow.

John Lennon.

I am snared
In a false system
Not of MY making.

What I am trying to do
Is
Extricate
My unique self
From it.

I am compelled!

Because?
I can
See through
The facade.

Listen to me through tears
Rescue me from my fears
Acknowledge
My pain.
Help me
Understand
This
Journey.

Make
MY transitions in Life
Less severe,
With
No more confusion,
Pain,
Fears...and never, no no never
Be
Shy
To say...HELP...ME!

Elevate Me!
Make my heart leap!
Make me FEEL
At one
With You
JESUS.

Settle me down tonight
Let
Me
FEEL
YOUR LOVE,
SECURITY...
Let Me
Sleep...at your feet.
Let
Me
Breathe
That Fresh
NEW LIFE,
Nestlé
In YOUR purity...

Wrap
Your wings
Around
ME
Comfort me,
FLY
With ME
Lord
JESUS...

For
I
LOVE THEE!
(By Violet.)

Mother Earth Loves You
She Offers SO Much
So Take Good Care Of Her
Be Always Gentle... With Your Touch.

I am a Flower
With
So Much Power!

Feeling
Every move inside herself
Movements that were so strange
A life, a body, was being made
She had fears of this creative change,
Not knowing
Which way to turn or sit
So many body changes
Making her feel so weak and sick
It's to be her last, never again!
No more days or nights
Of feeling alsorts of pains.

But
At the end, end of your travail
When
Life's escaped and into your arms
It lies with its cheek against your breast
You look down
You smile
You love
You're elated to see
Your own flesh and blood you fought
And sweated to let free.

Holding close
Your offspring, your eyes
Begin to rain
Then
A sudden whisper comes from your
Mouth...
' My baby, you were well Worth the pain!'

When
I was there
You
Would hold my hand,
Talk about books,
Sing
And dance...

Like
The fairest sprite
In this Forrest green
YOU
Would wrap me up
In Your little Dream...

You made me forget
The Woes of Life
And
Youth would surge in me!
I
Was your age(11yrs)
And Free!

SO
Fairest sprite
In this Forrest Green
NEVER
Relinquish
OR
Let any other soul
Extinguish
Thy little Dream...
Do you
Hear me,

Jennifer
Elizabeth
Jardine?

While
The negativity
Manufacturers
On this wonderful planet at an alarming rate

The
Greatest
Love and wisdom comes from the CHILD!
Not
History
Science
Theology or
Those good and bad,
BUT,
From those
Who
Speak
The
Truth
And utter
JOBBY!

I
Won't
Fool you...
I know
You know mankind
Is NUTS!

This
Present existence
Maybe hell, and I may be the umteenth denizen to agree that it is.
BUT
Also
I
Cannot ignore
The ecstasy and Paradise
I
See and feel
While
Adjacently
The
Great atrocities
Subtly and blatantly
Still
Go on,
Blood and guts
Blasting it in our faces
While I visit the park and
Feed the ducks
Thinking...
It's getting too hot.

Flowers make me...blossom!
Flowers emit the scent of optimism
Flowers and bees have the sweetest
Relationship.
Flowers, like children, should be left
To grow naturally
With the utmost tender Love and care.
Flowers are a visual feast!
Flowers Uplift , Inspire, Delight
A
Flower
Is a peek
Into Heaven.
Flowers
Are God's floral symphony.

End.

Children
Give us so much...
Let them be
Our teachers.

Jesus is my God
Jesus is my spouse
Jesus is my life
Jesus is my only Love
Jesus is my all in all
Jesus is my everything.

Author: Mother Teresa.

...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.


By Violet.

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!

Yesterday
I was down.

Didn't
Feel like
Smiling
At all.

I
Locked
Myself away,
Figured
I wasn't good company
Better out the way,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

TODAY,
Is different!
TODAY,
I
FEEL
GOOD!
Never thought I could!
A
Good
Day's come my way.
I pray
THANKS for the day...

A
Good
Day
Has
Come
MY
Way!

I am out under a bleu sky,
Whistling
A favourite tune.
ADMIRING
All
The BEAUTY,
FREE
From
Thoughts
Of
Gloom.

A Good day has come my way!
Thank You, GOD
For
That
DAY!

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...

I'm a whisper
Just
A whisper
In the wind.
I am blowing
Through the trees
I am as fresh
As the morning breeze.
I am
Just a whisper, whisper in the wind.

My whisper echos over the hilltops,
Over the seas
Beyond
And, ever so far;
Listen to that little whisper,
You may hear me say...
I   LOVE  YOU!

I am Blessed, ever so Blessed
By so many things;
My
Mortal Soul
Will one day be layed to rest.

May you hear
that little whisper.

By: Violet.

I'm not going to change the
Way I look or the way I feel
To conform to anything.
I've always been a freak, I have to
Live with that, you know.
I am one of those people.

John Lennon.

I  stand at the window.
I sit on the park bench.
I stop at the school gates
Watch the Children play.

Boys and girls interacting,
Unaware of their
Enchantment.
I hear
The sounds of their talk and play,
Their laughter and screams,
Their energy...
They're all little moonbeams.

I want to join them in their play.
Some notice me and I smile.
Curiously, some smile back.
But wait!
This could be misconstrued!

I walk away from the window.
Get up from the park bench.
Walk away from the school.

I
Have
No art or poetry, music, philosophy, politics, religion, etc.
I
Am
Ugly mentally and physically...
Who
Brought
Me here where we all exist
Ever
In
Conflict?
I do not want an answer!
I
Know
Like each and everyone of us,
We
Are
On
Our OWN special
Journey.

Believing in the "Big Bang Theory" is like
Believing
An automobile resulted from an explosion
In a garage.

When I see
A new born baby
Received by its mother....I believe in Love.

When I see
A Sunset
Appear in the sky
And Shine....I believe in Love.

When I see
Mother Teresa's
Work
In Calcutta...
I
Believe in Love!

When I see
My Lady
Lying naked on the bed....I believe in Love...
Yes,
I
Believe,
Believe in Love...
Yes, I believe!

When
I
See somebody happy and elated...I
Believe in Love!

When
I
See people cry, caress and kiss....I
Believe in Love!

When
I
Hear.... the the words... of Jesus Christ....I
Believe!
YES
I
Believe...YES, I believe...
In LOVE!...

When
I
Contemplate
ALL
CREATION....I...

Believe
In
LOVE!

...before you press the button, ignite the bomb
END IT ALL!
PLEASE consider
What it has taken
For us to get where WE are...
A lot of Blood, Sweat and Tears,
Discordant, Revolutionary years!

Is this what you want- your work down the drain?
Is this what you want- to annihilate the human race?

THINK!
About the CHILDREN, their FAITH in the older age.
I said, THINK about the CHILDREN, their TRUST in the older age.
They are relying on YOU
To show them the RIGHT things to do.

Is this what you want- to destroy them all?
Is this what you want- to END the WORLD?... Well, IS IT!?

Before you press the button, ignite the bomb, end it ALL
PLEASE consider---the REST of MANKIND!

Mercury asked Venus
'Where's Earth?'
The Moon interposed
Saying, ' There!'
Mercury went,' Ah!...
So that is the CENTRE of
Attraction!'
Mars and Jupiter
Did their own thing,
Hung there
Without a string.
Saturn,
Was distracted,
Mesmerized by the fleeting, burning
Asteroids
Giving Saturn a cosmic wink!
Uranus
And
Neptune
Drank it all in,
The
Universe,
And
got
Pluto/'d!

The Sun!
Humankind exclaimed!
WELL..She,
Kept herself warm
By the fire.

The Universe!
Well
HAD
The Universe,
But
The Universe,
'The Universe' does not Desire!

IT,
Like All Creation,
WANTS?

Do you think you're going to escape
Punishment for taking Innocence
Into evil?

You are a colossal fool
If you think you are!

Freedom from bullies
Persecution
Famine and war
Prejudice
And harassment
Tyranny
And
CONTROL,
Cult or system
The
List
Can
Go
On!
Most people want freedom!
(From something).

Is straightforward
Anything
Abstruse
Enigmatic
Esoteric
Is
Suspect!
