I
Am
Alone
Like
The single bud
And
All
Flowers in
Bloom.
I
Am
Eternally grateful
For
The slightest
Recognition.
Too
Many
Make a big thing
Out of Nothing!
Life
IS
Simple
Like a newborn.


Are you with me
Or
Are you not
Have
I
To
Make
This journey
On
My
Own?
ALONE?
You
All
Out there
Know
Where
I
Am coming from(?)
I
Love
BEING!

When you killed six million Jews
When you ruin the earth with pollutants
Terminate the embryo
Create an Atomic bomb
Have millions starve
When your priorities
Are opulence and power
When you deceive
To become rich
When you promote
Violence?

How can I laugh...
Even
Smile?

I am here
And value this time
And always will .
I,
Really do not need to say any more!

But
I want to.

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,

Take me
To your realm of Love,
Oh my Precious little Dove,
Take me there,
Let me Share,
ALL
My
LOVE
With
YOU!

I
Was there on a visit.
Helen, was in the bedroom
Gordon, was sitting in his swivel chair.
They were like grandparents to me.
Their lounge was decorated in the style
Of Charles R. Macintosh.
Helen came into the lounge and told
Gordon off about leaving a glass by
Their bedside...it was musty.
I laughed to myself
They were, though wise, a typical couple
And
I enjoyed their company
Very much.

I began to cry.
Helen came to me and asked,  ' What's wrong, son?'
'I am happy to see you both!' I replied.
'Then, why cry? said Helen.
......' Because... You're both dead!'
Helen, and Gordon, looked at each other
Puzzled...I woke up.

...is coming!
Now,
Don't wear heavy clothing!

Change me
Make me
What I
Am not...
Make me strong!

Don't let
Only words
No, no
Only words
Let Me BE Strong!

Right now  I'm sinking
Loosing power  by  the day
I've got to do
Better
Than I am doing
I've got to do better.

Give, give me strength
To carry on
To carry on!

Don't let
Only words
Lonely
Words.

Let me
Be
Strong!

I feel so fragile
Ready to break
I'm like a little porcelain doll
Ever so delicate
Ready to fall
Shatter
Into tiny little pieces.

DON'T pick up  the mess!
You
Never helped  Me
When I was whole, complete
At My best
SO why now?!

Go away!
Leave me alone!
I don't
Need Your sympathy!
Too late!
The Damage is done!

By Violet

I never felt welcome
Always felt in the way
They would shout,make me tremble,
Never
A good word to say!

Then
My little heart broke

In tears I choked.
My little heart broke,
Tears
I choked...

Into your arms
I bury myself
When
I am full of fear of  this world
And  its goings on.
Sometimes
It gets too much to bear
And
I break down.
I
Am thankful you are there...
To appease and console,
You revive and restore me again
To face this crazy world.

She came
Into my life
Like a lucent star in the night
And
Sparkled in my eyes.
I
Thought
I was dreaming
But soon I was believing
She was real.
She
Touched my senses
Elevated my soul
She took me to Heaven
Imbued me with
LOVE!

Baby, I know sometimes the world can be tough and rough
And,
I too have said, " I've had enough!"
I can Sympathize
I can Sympathize with your sentiments.

Baby, hold on and be strong
You can weaken, you can falter, but please fight the fall!
I
Will stand by you
WE will see this through
And exorcise those world-weary blues.

This world gets everyone down
There's no one immune around
So
Take solace in the thought
Everyone,
Gets what you have got
Your not alone
You
Are
NOT
Alone!

Baby,
That's it!...
Let it out!
Let it out and cry!...
Don't
Feel ashamed
No , no NEVER feel ashamed!
Don't
Keep it bottled up inside!
Let
It OUT,  let it out and CRY!

This world gets everyone down
There's
No one immune around.

Remember,
I Will stand by you!
TOGETHER
We will see this through
TOGETHER
We will chase away...those world weary
BLUES!

I can't do it!
Don't force me to ****!
Don't give me that gun!
It gives me a chill!

I can't take a life!
It's as important as mine!
This feeling should be mutual!
Then war would decline!

The truth of the matter is...
If there are
Kings and Queens
Then
We ALL are...
Every man a King
Every woman a Queen...
And
Not a minion in sight!

Make
YOUR
Own  footprint in the sand!
Don't
Let
Anyone
Step for you, OR step in front of You!
Walk
Your
Way!
That
Is ALL
I always want to say!

The man on the cross, ma...
Why,
Is he there?...
What
Did he do
That was unfair?
Did he
Commit
A
Horrendous crime?
Did he
Take
A life
Just
Like mine?...
Did
He
Hate
God,
God 's creation?...
Didn't HE
Just
Deserve incarceration?


He,
Doesn't appear aggressive at all!
He
Radiates peace
And
Has a glow...Who is this person I do not know?


Now,
Child
Since
YOU
Enquire,
The man in question is not a liar!
He
Didn't cheat, hurt or ****..
He,
Only
Did his  Father's Will,
Proclaiming,
HE
Was a king​ and come to Save ALL
Humankind...
Imparting Truth and Love,
That
Was
His crime.

It
Doesn't seem right, I know...
And,
You
Will witness's similar as through life you go.

Injustice
Is ALL over the land
And,
You will resent
So
Much
That's
Done by your fellow man!
And,
yOu
Will need guidance and consolation...
AND,
The
Man
On the çross is
Your,
And all of us,
Our
Salvation!

Listen to me and my fears
I no longer want
To shed
Any tears,
Acknowledge My pain!
Help me
Understand
This journey.

Make
My transitions In life

My heart beats
I walk the streets
So much going on
My Heart's GOT to be STRONG!

Got
To bear This Life
'Trouble and Strife!'
Trouble
And
Strife!

Got to be True
There's only Me and You
Few give a ****!
The Wolf is out to Slaughter
The Lamb.

Be Sincere in your prayer
'Cause the End
Is Truly Near!
The Moon's colour is Red
It's
TRUE
The Sacred Book
Has said!

"I"....!!!
You?!

Then....

This perceptible world
Isn't all there is.
There is
An
Invisible existence...
MORE alive
And
Endless.

How,
Does one know?

MY HEART!!
Tells me so!

Themoon
Glows in the ebony sky

The stars
Scintillate
In the firments high!

Naturally,
I
SHINE
Too!

I
Watched, this morning, a seagull swoop and dive outside my
Urban Window in awe ,wow!
Then,
Watched
The Left
In the house of commons
Trying
To make the right
See the error of their ways...
Cutting wealthfare,
Causing extreme hardship
To their fellow human beings
To
NO avail.

(Intervention--- look at history...The rich, monetary, fiscal, money,
Money , money!.... Something inhumane IS ruling things!)
The Tories
Calls it "tough love"
Yes, it is tough....ABSENT of love!

Regardless, all has been said
With
More to be said
For the
So called
Erudite
To listen.

Even if they don't
The
Heart
Will
Prevail!

Those gulls lull my soul!

No
One
Is
Any
Better
Than
YOU!

I
Can understand
Why
You
Chose to be alone.
It's
A Bewildering world
Out
There.
People
Can be so unfair,
Interfere.

Give me a cave in a mountain
Let
Me live there.
NATURE
Would be kinder
Than humankind.
The rain and snow
Wind and cold
Would chill my bones,
****
Me.

My
Life
Is in the
CREATOR'S
Hands.

Standing on a mountain high
Looking
To the sky;
Waiting for your Love to come
And shine on me
Like the morning Sun...

Let me feel it
Feel your Love!

My Heart is pining
For your approach
Enter this being of mine
I give myself to you my Lord
Raise me into the sublime!

Let me feel it
FEEL your Love!

Shine your Love
On me
Let me free, let me go
To that Paradise
To that Paradise
In the nucleus of your glow.

The family's asleep
I, as usual
Try
To
Write
Something wise and profound.
As usual, I can't!
My mind
Is not that well excercised.
I'm not a writer anyway
But I like to think I am.

Where
Do the great poets obtain
Such deep insight and poetic
Phraseology?
I don't suppose I'll ever know,
For where they were
I
Just don't
Have a clue how to go.

I feel  I am a slave
A slave to the kitchen sink
Never ending meals
Rattling pots and pans
Doing all the mundane chores...
Being
A wife
A mother
A nurse
A psychotherapist
And, an agony aunt!
The list
Goes on
And on, and on.

I
Want to unshackle those chains
Once
And for All!
( for Sanity's sake)...Set myself
FREE!

This Surely
Is not the way things should be for me.
I am sure
There are better things out there
Waiting there just
For Me.

I need to be cared for once again
Made
To feel Special...
And,
Not Just
A mother, a wife, a nurse etc.!

I AM
A PERSON!

YES,
A Human Being
Just like.,.YOU!

I
Also
Need
To be nurtured
Just like You.

I feel
My prison sentence is over...
I want to be released,
Want to be Free!

Grant me that pardon
Just
Let Me be ME!

For every other Woman out there,
Bless You All
Stand  TALL!
...Vi.!***.

Concretely, you are gone
I am generations later
Reading Your thoughts, Your works.
I am grateful!
You give me literary sustenance
And pleasure,
Inspiration and insight...
Thank you, writers from the past!

I want to do the same,
Leave something behind...a picture,
A song, or a piece of writing; something
Concrete and tangible for posterity...
And
Will someone like me, who is still
To be born
Look over my works when I too
Are
No longer concrete?

He weilds a pen
Beneath the burning light
His desire to say something more
Compels him into the night.

Before he knows it
Dawn peeps through the open blind
His weary eyes shut
As he indites another line.

His spirit is willing
But his flesh is weak
Over his works he sleeps
Dormant upon his literature
A pillow of thoughts upon a sheet.

It's a Summer's evening
I sit beneath the sky
I have my guitar
And
I sing my song to our God
In the beauty of this day
And words come from my heart
I convey with a melody.

Hear my voice, O Holy One!
Let my hymn please your ears
Let it fill your Heart with joy
A gift from me to you
I just want to TOUCH you!

As I continue to sing your song
My eyes are drawn to the sky
Among the clouds I see
Angels
Singing in perfect harmony...

A Celestial choir to accompany me!

There
Are creatures
Of so many kinds
Getting on with be their business
Never
Thinking of
God or the devil.

Grown-ups
Fill me with Cynicism and Dread...
CHILDREN,
OPTIMISM!!

I am just being honest
From
My individual perspective
Aspect
Viewpoint.

And HEART.

DONT
Be
An
Acolyte!

Miss
Your tender love
And care...
Although you Beat me bad,
I miss
Your tender love and care.

There came a time
I Had to go,
Not be with you again.
Then
You passed away;
Your funeral
I did not attend...
I have no regret
About my decision.

But
I have to be honest,
I  MISS YOU
And
YEARN
For your
TENDER LOVE and CARE.

...Reticent
Requiring solitude
Nothing superficial
Nothing profound
To
Be
On my Own
Not a sound
No music
No guns
N o controversy
Not
A
Sound...
For a while
Let me sit
And stare
And
Not care!

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.
By Violet.

To be a CHILD again!!
And
Play
Amidst
Nature
With
Other
Children...
End of story!

You,
Sit alone in your room
Head in hands in the gloom,
Your
Caring gone
And the will to live on,  
CEASED...
It's time to leave.

You tried to believe
Yes, you tried to believe,
In Love,
But,
Now you feel deceived.

For a long time it's been
This way
For you -
No rays of sunlight in your life!
Any joy is marred
By the sorrow in your heart
And,
No solace could  be sought anywhere.
But,
You tried to believe
Yes, you tried too believe,
In Love,
But,
Now
You feel deceived...

You, didn't want it this way -
To hate life!
Loose faith!
Feel
Betrayed!
You
Are
One
Of the many, many more
Who struggle hard to live each day
That
Comes their way.

Finally...

You,
Repose serene
In
Your room
On a unmade bed.

Outside,
LIFE
Carries on
As
Still
Lies
Your pallid form
Devoid
Of motion,
Thought
And pain...
Yes,
YOU
Tried to believe
Yes,
Tried to believe
BUT
LOVE
No more
Could you you see...

So,
YOU
Chose to leave.

Look
Into
MY
Eyes....
Can' t
You
See Paradise?

PARADISE....
Is Not LOST!

Oh,
What a   bird  must see
To our envy.
(Taken
for granted? Maybe!)

The
Motion of flight
The ability to fly
Encourages me to always live
NEVER Die.

The
Wind...
Ribbon
In her hair...
Her crown  of glory,
Blowing
Everywhere.

Certain people
Employ
Talent
Beauty
Erudition
Knowledge
Sincerity, etc.
To
Execute
Iniquity.

It hurts my head
Seeing what man does to man
Does to man.
It scares me!
Make s me want to cry.
I can't believe it, but it's true
Life
Is
Crazy
And killing still continues.
Women
Are being *****
Children too!
They are being sadistically tortured
But
It's nothing new.
Men
Are killing men
On the streets,
In the home
WHY
Is there so much KILLING
Still
Going on?!
WHY
Haven't
WE
Seen SENSE
That
Killing is not the game?
It's
To LIVE
Like RATIONAL human beings
Instead of
ANIMALS
INSANE!!

I am waiting
For you
At
Our
Usual place
In the rain.
I
Am waiting for Christ too
To
Come again!

I look
Down the street,
Approaching
Is a bus.
It comes
Forward
Minus you...
Still
Waiting
For you!

Waiting in the rain
For
My
Summer to come
My
Summer's SUN!

People
Pass
With
Turned up collars,
Hiding under umbrellas.
I
Am
Sheltered
I need a doorway
Hungry
For
You!

The
World
Could end
In
The waiting...

Turn

YOUR gaze
From
The computer age,
From
The Screen of Artificiality...
Synthetic offerings
From
A False world.

LOOK!
Look the Other Way!
Look
What NATURE has
On display...
The Sky, Hills, Mountains
Rivers

I
Feel
Like
A lost soul
At times
Struggling
To be
Set Free...
Where
Is My destiny?
Someone
Out there, help me!
Tell me
Everything will be

Okay.
Set
MY Spirit Free!
Let me fly high into the night skies to
Be with
You.
Where ever you are  commune with  me.
Don't lift
That
Phone,
You
Don't know
My number, so  just
Let Me slumber.
Wake me!
When
You are ready to set me Free.

I cry.

But ,
I will
Wipe my tears and
Carry on.

Nature can make one
Feel Gloomy and chilled,
But when you believe in her
And endure
She
Will
Wrap you up in Spring and Summer.

...though difficult, the right way to go,
Than wrong, though easy, where the end
Is woe.

Pilgrims Progress.
