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 !
Tom Blake Jan 2017
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...

Before you press the button
Ignite the bomb, end it ALL
Please consider what it has taken
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 Trust, Faith
In the older age.
They're relying on YOU
To show them
The Right things to do.

Looking lovingly at you with
An innocence divine.

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 ManandWomankind!

Poverty
Can be gone.
How?
Share
Share
Your
LOVE!
Not just monetary,
LOVE!
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.

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!!
These words were written a while ago but still are pertinent today and likely tommorow, but optimism and belief in God gives me solace. We all Hurt, I know...I want to say more but will leave it for now with the utmost respect for all who read this.

The world.
What world?
Your world?
My
World?
Who's World?
Your world?
Yes!

God,
You know how we feel.
You
Became like one of us
And sustained the ultimate pain
In the being of Jesus...your beloved Son....
SO
You know
What it's like to Suffer!
How it feels to lose a beloved child!
What it's like to be humiliated,
Betrayed,
Hated and abused!
So
None of us
Can cry into the heavens
'WHY!'

I Love You.
From planet earth.
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.

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.

To be a CHILD again!!
And
Play
Amidst
Nature
With
Other
Children...
End of story!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
Often
You come to mind
And something in me stirs inside
Like someone has turned
On a light
And I feel all aglow.

I
Reflect on a day
When we used to play
In your big house
Marlborough Gardens
Full
Of smiles and laughter.

Johanna, I will never forget you...
I'm so glad I met you.
Johanna,
I' m so glad
WE
Had
SOME
Time
TOGETHER.

I will never forget You!

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?
Tom Blake Oct 2016
I
Have
All these thoughts & feelings inside.
Who
Is messing up my brains?
It's
Like spaghetti junction in here.
Don't test me
Don't try me
Just listen
To
Me
Like
I
Listen
To you!
Let's not get our wires crossed.
Do
Not
Confuse me, I'm confused
Enough!
Just listen
To me
Once and for all.

Don't judge me
Underestimate me

Show me
You care
Like
I care
For you.            By Violet.
Please bare in mind, I am a novice at expressing myself in words.

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 sea
Flowers and Trees
THEY
Are beckoning Thee!
BECKONING Thee!

Their Light is TRUE
More
Befitting for the Soul!
Don't let!
Don't let
Your senses be
Drawn into
And controlled
By
The artificial world!

Just  
A
Warning!
Tom Blake Jan 2017
Kiss goodbye to the darkness
Ready
For  the New Day to begin,
Happy to BE!
Never felt SO free!
O
What
A reward to subdue
Sin!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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.
Tom Blake Oct 2016
YOU
Who are you?
I
Hate
Death!
Tom Blake May 2016
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.

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!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Although things fall apart
And appear to be dark
It's never the end
LIFE
Goes on,
And
The LIGHT still SHINES
However dark the times.

I see too many souls
Stuck on death
Accepting the end
PROCLAIMING the end!
While LIFE goes on
And
The LIGHT still SHINES!
However  "dark"  the times.
Tom Blake Sep 2016
I am here
And value this time
And always will .
I,
Really do not need to say any more!

But
I want to.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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
Tom Blake Mar 2016
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,

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 Blake Apr 2016
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?

If you love you'll LOVE...and, it don't matter how small.
If
You
HATE...
It shocks how big!?
Just self expression....like all in whatever miniscule way!

I know you are in Heaven
But only
A footstep away!
Miss you Mum. Violet***

Your  matter dissolves
Before my eyes
Disclosing
To me
A
Paradise...
A
Refulgent Pear
Within a shell,
Now
Liberated
From its
Mundane CELL.

Said a wonderful thing
In the last part of
"Eve's Diary"
Which
I recommend
One should read.
I just love this...
Are You ready to understand and embrace this?
...."EDEN IS WHERE EVE IS"

So much better than a million other things,
Especially, Oppenheimer is where
The Bomb is.

...to everyone who has commented on my attempts at poetry, I would like to convey my most sincere thanks and gratitude... and wish you ALL progress in your every endeavour.

The window is ajar
The Lacey curtain is lifted lightly
By a Summer's breeze.
The daylight, morning sunlight
Illuminating, enters the room.

You
My Love are still
Still in slumber
Soft and warm
Beneath the sheets.

I lie beside you
Awaiting your awakening
Awaiting the colour of your eyes
The movement of your lips
The softness of your voice
The motion of your Being.

The Osprey
Dives
Downward
Toward
The
Water
Wings vertical
Like
An Angel
Parting the waters
Like
God did
For Moses
Submerging
Itself
Talons fanned
Clutching
The Beautiful fish
That
Fed
The 5000
By the command of JESUS
It
Now ascends
Like Christ
Into Heaven
With
It's
Sustenance
Food
Its Glory
Its
Efforts
Rewarded
Heaven
Attained.

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...
Tom Blake Mar 2016
As a
Very
Young child
I fell
SLAP!
Onto
Concrete...AAa!
Then
I shed
Tears
For the first
Time,
And,
Hurt
Physically.

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!

Nature can make one
Feel Gloomy and chilled,
But when you believe in her
And endure
She

Wrap you up in Spring and Summer.

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...
Tom Blake Mar 2016
The World
Is
Asleep

In its Space
Surrounded
By stars, planets and
Deep
Darkness.

I
Am
There
On that planet
SO small
SO minute...

Probably

Reading
A
BOOK.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
My hands are pressed against the sky
I feel I'm still in embryo,
Struggling to grow,
Struggling to break free.
To penetrate the sky
And dwell in the infinite.

I don't want to be limited,
Inhibited,
Restrained,
Encompassed,
Or locked in!

I want to be Free,
Knowing all there is to know,
Never needing to grow,
To flow
In a never tiring, never tedious
But continuous blissful state
Where Truth and Love Abounds
And Reigns.
Written many moons ago.Àa
Tom Blake Mar 2016
When you see a raindrop,
Flake of snow,
FEEL a zephyr,
Sight
A rainbow;
Things transient,
Potent,
Impressionistic,
Rememberable,
That
Is
ME.
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.
Tom Blake Nov 2016
Ouch!
Agony!
Why
PAIN?
Cancer
Disease
Pestilence.
Why
Destruction­
Annihilation,
Abortion?
Why, swat
A
FLY?
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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!'
