I'm seized
By apathy!

My pencil
The tool of my trade
Lies unemployed.

I Want
To draw
Sketch
Even
Write!

I am bereft
Of creativity!

I pace the floor
Watch T V
Talk on the phone
Drink a cup of tea

I pick up my pencil
...throw it away!
My mind feels void
I can' t create!

****!

For inspiration
I have to wait.

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.

The sky is bleu
The clouds are white
It seems so perfectly right
Did they have a say
In their way
Just like you and me.

Take me to your realm of Love
Oh my Precious Little Dove
Take me there, let me share
All my Love
With You.

When Our Dreams all come true
We will bathe in a petal of dew
We won't cry
We won't sigh
EVER AGAIN.

Tom's
Don't
Grow on trees,
And
Don't always come to teas,
Expessely nice ones like you!
Picking
Out the right ones is hard,
Just
Like picking out cards,
I think you are nice
JUST
Like Rice.


By J. Pickering

The beginning...Not allowed to be...

The
END!!

I want
To destroy the destroyer
So
The destroyer
Destroys
No more!

I hear footsteps In the Heavens
I believe it' s God
Pacing about
He/She/Child, has Something on
Their mind...
And,
It's to do with US... mankind!

The steps Stop!
Giving Something thought.
PENSIVE!

Walking
Is resumed...
Back and forth
Back and forth
Mulling
Something over.

I'm speculating---
It's Time...to INTERVENE!

The baby lamb
Is
Butchered
For meat.

Dust thou art, to Dust thou shall return.
*******!
WE
Are More!
WE
SHINE!
Created
By
The Divine!

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.

Lay man
Poor man
Struggling
To
Survive!

Who
Is going to Help You?

Help you in this world?

There is too much opposition...
Trying
To drown US!

They
Don't want ME to survive.
They
Just
Me
To
Drop....
Dead.

I
Won't
Give up my struggle
I
Will fight to survive.
I
Will
Carry on fighting
For
My Rights.
I
Will
Fight for others like me.

So,
Laypeople
Struggle no more.

Poor man
You
Are RICH!

The
Dialogue
Is
Never ending.

If,
You put a full stop
Where
You
Wish,
Then do so.

The beginning
Is
Always
Starting.

VIOLET.

As soon as it was given
It was taken away
I didn't start living ' til today
' Cause when it was given
It was taken away.

I didn't begin where I began
I wasn' t left to be my own man
So many forced their way
They would say:
'Listen to ME, do as I say!'

I was innocent
I was young
Believed they spoke
An honest tongue

I thought they knew
THEY were right
But as time went by
I Saw the Light
God, I saw the Light!

Eve was innocent
And also absent a childhood
Like her counterpart.
She
Was beguiled by a bona fide Pro
They never stood a chance!
But at least they had a valid excuse:
Their unsophistication.

I am youthful, not withering, coming to an end.
Inside, There is a intense
Feeling,
Belief, ineffable...
An
Infiniteness,
Eternallity

In me.
I
Am compelled to express...



My body though, regardless of what I think, feel, want,
Is outwith my control
Bringing
My
Existence in this world to an end....I have no say in the matter.

I am
Not
Entirely free
I am
Beholden to something else.
In addition,
I have to be judged and
Sentenced!

Final destination: hell , heaven!

I
Never
Asked for this!

However,
I Believe !

The facade is coming down
TRUTH is emerging!
Those
In the Light
Have been bringing it to Light
From
The begining of time...

WE
ALL
Play a part,
Some,

Succumb to the dark...

Darkness is panicking
There is nowhere to hide
Evil
Is being exposed
Diminishing in the Light
Its
Presence waning

Disintegrating
Perishing!

Rejoice
At the cessation
Of
Evil...

It's demise!

leave me,
To study nature.j

Violet, I've wrote a song for you
Just to reinforce the Love I have for you
And too,
To say a big" Thank You!"...
For being there for me.  

Violet, you are the only one
Who understood me, my ways
You helped me understand
A woman's point of view
I've learned much from you...
Thank You!

Violet, I will never forget the day
I first saw you
My heart it lept and we began to play
Then,
We ran away...Together
Enduring all kinds of weather
I know
You remember
Thank You!

Darkness, beside you I want to lie
Your Face is the Moon
The Stars, your Eyes.
The Ebony Heavens is your Hair
Which
Winds North and South
Blow
Everywhere.

I was  once your swan upon
Upon
The lake.
Now,
I'm
A goldfish
Trapped
In a
Bowl.

By Violet.

In an Instant
You, my Precious, were
Gone!
Simultaneously,
In that very same Instant
You
We're
There!
Reunited
With Your Love
Complete
Never to part.

I, yes I! see the Joy in both your eyes
See you hand in hand
In
Paradise,
The Eternal place.

I
See entities gather to greet You both
Family and Friends
People
You may thought
You'd never see again
Look!
Here come all the animals you cared for.

This
Is
What GOD gives,
What
The  devil tries to take away.

BUT!

LOVE, NEVER CAN BE defeated!...
In LOVE
You
BELIEVED
Through
LOVE
YOU
Are
SAVED!

The Vision is fading
For
I,
Am still here
On
Earth.

I am Happy

For the Glimpse

Given
To
Those
Who BELIEVE
That LOVE IS ETERNAL
That
LOVE IS SUPREME
AND
HEAVEN
ISN'T
JUST
....A Daydream!

Something
Is on the boil
Soon
To explode,
Our world
In fragments, floating in space
And
No more.

It is silent
No more noise from planet earth...
It's past into
Oblivion...And,
PEACE
Is regained
In the Universe...

Marc Bolan...."Life's a Gas"
20CenturyBoy!....
"Astral Angel".... Donovan.

"Instant Karma"...Is gonna get you...


All We Are saying, is
Give peace a chance...

They stood there holding hands
Looking at the sunset,
Then turned face to face and gazed
Into each others eyes,
Unaware
Of their imminent lose of
Paradise...

They kissed and they prayed
Through the gardens they strayed
Smelling flowers and watching birds
Fly...
They wandered through trees
Lay upon dewy leaves
And looked attentively at the clouds
Pass in the sky...

THEN...
There came a black day
Which
Stole youth away
Leaving everything to wither and
Decay...
Now
The lovers lament
At the darkness sent
And will weep till the end of their
Days.

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.

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...

I
Respect
Everybody!
However,
I
Am no respector
Of
Persons.

Some people that sound So Wise
Can
Be the most stupid!

Women
Have Many faults,
Men
Just TWO...

Nothing right they SAY
Nothing right they DO!

MANY
Are
Jesuitical!

Were
Do
"I"
Begin?
Well,
From my inception...19..
In a physical form...
Then what?... History,
Others like you, and what they ALL
Came through, blood and guts
And "pretty things"...
Written down,
Recorded
For
Posterity,
To
Inform...?
The
Beginning
To me,
Will
From something vacant...
Suffice.

My sister
Who
Nearly died (cancer)
Is still
With the family
That are at odds with each other
Like
The World is too,
Conflict
After
Conflict
Like
They
Really do not
REALLY
F......
Care!

In an Instant
You, my Precious, were
Gone!
Simultaneously,
In that very same Instant
You
We're
There!
Reunited
With Your Love
Complete
Never to part.

I, yes I! see the Joy in both your eyes
See you hand in hand
In
Paradise,
The Eternal place.

I
See entities gather to greet You both
Family and Friends
People
You may thought
You'd never see again
Look!
Here come all the animals you cared for.

This
Is
What GOD gives,
What
The  devil tries to take away.

BUT!

LOVE, NEVER can be defeated!...
In LOVE
You
BELIEVED
Through
LOVE
YOU
Are
SAVED!

The Vision is fading
For
I,
Am still here
On
Earth.

I am Happy

For the Glimpse

Given
To
Those
Who BELIEVE
That LOVE IS ETERNAL
That
LOVE IS SUPREME
AND
HEAVEN
ISN'T
JUST
....A Daydream!

What's all this talk
Of Heaven and Hell?
Don' t you know your in it!
Right up to your knees!

In an instant
You were gone.
In
An instant
You were
There.
Reunited
With your Love...
Complete...
This
Time
Never to part.

I
Can see the Joy
In
Both your Eyes.

I
See you
Hand in hand
In the Eternal Place.

I
See
Others gather to greet you...
family and friends....
People
You thought you would never
See again.
Look!
There comes Spot the dog
Running to you like no other love could do.

This
Is what GOD has given,
What
The devil
Tries to take away



LOVE....

Never can be defeated...
In
LOVE
You believed...

Through LOVE
You are SAVED!

The Vision is fading
For  
I
Am looking from Earth.

But
I am grateful
For the Glimpse
Given
To those
Who Believe ...

That
LOVE
IS
Eternal

LOVE IS  SUPREME!

And,
HEAVEN
Isn't
Just
A
Daydream.

She is a fair creature to observe,
To study, the woman is, God.
I ,  have a genuine aesthetic appreciation
For her form.
I derive great delight in her hands when
Relaxed and gesticulating,
Her feet when crossed- legged, dancing .
Other parts of her anatomy
In motion and still.
Her mind too!
Her thoughts, insight, knowledge,.. In fact,
Her whole being, personality, mannerisms
I find
Appealing!

ALL women Are beautiful!
Confronting their loveliness
Elevates my feelings.
I can say the same
Occurs when I look at a Sunset or
Flowers in a garden.
The
Degree , comparison, is the same.

The truth
Is
You!

I know you are in Heaven
But only
A footstep away!

I know
All
I need to know...
I learned it
Being a child...
Feeling
The profound
Innocence
Which
Nothing
Past or present
Can
Destroy.

Nature
Embraces me...

Light does
Too.

And, just let me say,
I ain' t better
Than YOU!

Reticent.
Requiring solitude,
Nothing
Superficial
Nothing
Profound,
To
Be
On MY own
Not a sound
No music
No guns
No controversy
Not a sound.

For a while
Let me stare
And
Not care.

One can feel guilty
For
Being alive,
Especially,
When
So many die.
One
Can
Feel guilty laughing
While
So many cry.

I will cry, I will die.
We
Need
Laughter
To get us by!

...
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.

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 found a door
With no lock, only needing
The gentlest push
And
It opened freely Wide.
I
Entered inside
Therein I encountered
The Truth
Of All things.
God!
It makes So much sense!
If only They knew!
I can' t go back
They
Solely
Have to find this door.

I feel so fragile
Ready to break
I'm like a little porcelain doll
Ever so delegate
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

The Jehovah's Witnesses
Constantly
Find ways
For you not to LIVE!
Life... to its Fullness!
On
Top
Of that,
They are obsessed with talking about
the END...
Of the world!

This LIFE
We are born into
And
Given by God
IS a gift so amazing...
You will  Never
Find
The right words to describe how
Special it is!

Don't be Fooled!
Don't be brain washed!

ENJOY
This gift
Because one day
It...Will...be...over.
WE
Don't
Need
Constantly
Reminded
Of It!!

Towards
NATURE!

BLANK...

EXISTANCE!!

BLANK.

Something in our midst
Don't want us to live
It's doing everthing in its Power
To **** and promote Death.
The media shows it
Paints the bleakest picture.
No wonder
Their are suicides
No wonder
People want to get high
No wonder
People want to escape
When the only future they see
Is a Lie.

That's what You want, that's Your work:
To create despondency, estrangement, dissolution;
Create divisions, create rich and poor---
There's a War right away!
You've got everyone all over the place,
Everyone at variance!
That's Your Intention---generating disorder,
mayhem, HELL!
Never relenting!
Forceful through the centuries.
But
Out there
In dystopia
Infinite good acts eventuate
Unreported, ignored, rarely
Brought to light
Because
The light we live in is darkness,
Never
To be confused with   The Night Sky.

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...
