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!
Jesus is the saviour!... and,  a big part of me believes this. But,  there is something in me feels divine.

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.
Tom Blake Feb 2018
Precious!

Preserve and value it!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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?
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Do you think you're going to escape
Punishment for taking Innocence
Into evil?

You are a colossal fool
If you think you are!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
...is coming!
Now,
Don't wear heavy clothing!
Tom Blake Apr 2017
There's nobody who doesn't have it hard
Nobody who doesn't have a laugh
Nobody who doesn't have a solemn thought
Nobody
Who doesn't feel distraught.

There's
Nobody who doesn't feel a fool
Nobody who doesn't dream at school
Nobody who doesn't YEARN for LOVE
Nobody
Who doesn't feel... Like giving up.

WE
Are ALL on the same boat
A sail on the same sea
Journeying
Through the same life
With
Death
Our destiny.

There's
Nobody who doesn't moan
Nobody who doesn't feel alone
Nobody
Who doesn't question WHY
There is no one
Ain't,
From this perception
DIE.

We
Are all on the same boat
A sail on the same sea
We
Are all of the same kind
With
DEATH
As
A
Destiny.
Tom Blake Sep 2016
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!
Tom Blake May 2016
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.
Tom Blake May 2016
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.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
I know what I'm thinking you don't
Agree.
It may not be right but it's right by me
At the moment it's how I feel, how I see...
Just me, right or wrong.

I am another Life, another Mind
Another throbbing heart
At this time.

You say listen, listen I do
I hear no words of wisdom
I' m hearing nothing new.
There was a time
It was everyone else
Now it's Me
Becoming Myself... Important or not.

I am another Life, another mind
Another throbbing heart
At this time.

Another life to be something
Another life to be nothing
Another life to  win or lose
Another life to laugh and cry
Another life to live, to die.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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.
Tom Blake May 2016
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).
If you are free, would you share your liberty?
Tom Blake Apr 2016
There's a time coming
Not too far
Approaching
When
You won't be considered
Or judged
For your looks
Your mental
And physical prowess
Talents, etc..

Instead...

It will be
YOUR HEART.

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!

Believing in the "Big Bang Theory" is like
Believing
An automobile resulted from an explosion
In a garage.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Okay, I will go along with it.
One day of You I will accept.
Yes, I won't question what you do
The other 6 days.
24hrs. Of You will suffice.
Reason:
Because I Love You
So much!
Tom Blake Sep 2016
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.
It don't mean you're egotistical, it's respecting and valuing your -
self, when so many want to cut you down!

Sadly
It's

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!

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!

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!
Tom Blake May 2016
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 and seas
Flowers and Trees,
THEY,
Are Beckoning Thee!

THEIR LIGHT
Is True!
More
Befitting for the SOUL!

DON'T Let
YOUR
Senses be drawn into
And
CONTROLLED
By
The Artificial World!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
The tables are going to turn
YOU in the privileged position
Are going to experience what it's like
In the contrary.
You had your chance to share,
Help the less fortunate
But
You remained steadfastly selfish,
Impervious to their plight.
Now
It's your turn to experience indigence
And witness the selfishness
YOU were.
Tom Blake May 2017
I was  once your swan upon
Upon
The lake.

Child,
Grow up for heaven's sake!
Be quiet !
Speak when you are spoken too!
Children
Should be seen and not heard!
That's
How it was for myself.
I do not want sympathy,
Just,
To let others know...Beware
Of
Grown ups!
Tom Blake Oct 2016
...Stay where you are!
Repress
The urge
To grow
Any further...
Insist
You
Stay
In your state of innocence...
Even,
Die
For it!
I
So much wish
I had...

But ,
That's me...

Wanting to end evil!
How is it from YOUR own point of view/aspect?
Tom Blake May 2017
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!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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.
Composed in the 80's.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
On the shore
Let me walk
At my feet
Feel the sea
Thinking of thee

O Mysterious God
Touch my soul
Communicate
I await

All I hear
Is the sound of sea
Waves rushing to me
And Feel the breeze

Your creation's
Touching me
Your Touch is fine
Makes serene
My Mind

My phone is in my pocket
Making such a racket
Ring, ring, RING!
Don't call me
I will call you!

Tom Blake Mar 2016
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.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
I want
To destroy the destroyer
So
The destroyer
Destroys
No more!
COW
Tom Blake Mar 2016
COW
I love you Cow
I love your shape and sound---MOO!

I hate the fact you are constantly beleaguered by flies,
In your ears, in your eyes...
And you accept them like the air you breathe.
Is there something to be learnt here
About pestilence and nuisances that beset
Us in our lives?
Ignore them
Resist them
Remember we are bigger
Like you
My bovine friend.

I hate
When humans call you stupid, cumbersome!
Obviously, they haven't looked into your
Eyes!
THEY
have no right to disparage you
Or chop you up (sacred cow)
Heavens above! they cut up their own
Species.
I
Just wish
You could fly too, Precious
And
**** on their heads!
!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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.
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,
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Death
Is a minor inconvenience
Don't give it too much credence.
If you believe in Love and Life
And foster this always,
Your path to Heaven will become clear.
Tom Blake Jan 2017
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.
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!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
They are talking about the end
End of the world
Armageddon
Destruction
Upon
Destruction----book of Revelations...
Antichrist!
I
Am  not Jesus,  who I wish I were.
I
Am not satan .
Then,
Who am I?
Simple!
You
Will
Need to prove
Yourself
To me...
And
The World!
Children
Are the key
Look
They
Live
Free...
