Tiana Marie

I don't know who she is,
but I can make
believe the truth.

She’s a princess
Of an island
Somewhere right outside Peru.

She’s the daughter
Of a grand king
And a lovely queen too.

I imagine
A long line
Of men who’d want to pursue

The fair maiden
the heiress
Of a throne she’ll soon assume.

She’ll rule with power and grace,
A smile on her face,
Kindness in her heart,
She’ll give the kingdom a new start.

Though some may doubt,
I know that's who she'll be.
Even if she's not,
She'll always be a princess to me.

Vortex

Feeling in a Vortex, my own supernatural blackhole
Looking for a place to belong, somewhere to go
Spinning,tumbling, twirling, going round and round
Looking for a place to land but not yet found
One day I will be floating free, cut loose for all eternity
Looking down and wondering was I the best I could be

I hope so - this was written a few months back when at work, so guess these feelings were related to a bad work day.
I do currently feel lost at work, the situation has changed and its not something i want to do anymore
I like being home, i wish i could just be home writing, playing with the grandkids but bills must be paid :)

3 Eggs in that there

Saturday afternoon at about half past three
I would settle down in front of the tv
My Gran and Grandad in their chairs watching Lucille Ball Show or Fred Astair
At 17 45 the football scores would be read
My Grandad checking them off one by one
Chasing 24 points the top score, fingers crossed for a score draw, eight of them would set you right
Ah this week its out of sight, better luck next week, we'll try again
My Gran would always bake, buns or a cake
Coffee was my choice of drink with Coffeemate instead of milk I was posh I would think
A slice of sponge to go along I can hear my Gran say "are you going to have a slice today"
Then she would always add" there's 3 eggs in there"
I would smile and say please Gran after all It was Saturday and all was right with the world.

Loved my Grandparents this is all so true, happy happy memories

What should I say

When I think of you do I know what I want to say?
Do I get tongue tied, caught in a trap
Do I suddenly get in a flap?
I see you standing over there and want to tell you who I see
I can't find the words to speak my mind
I can't find the words for you and me
I'd like to say I love your eyes
At first glance you seem worldly wise
I'd like to say you have a **** face
Take me home to your place
But when I get close to you
The words I'd practiced in my head get muddled and instead
I whisper I love you quietly and go home alone to bed

Just playing around with words
