we are given life to do with what we will
it can be a ball and give you such thrill
make you fall in love  when love comes along
you will hear the sound of loves favourite song

it can make you happy make you dance and sing
if you treat life right it will bring you everything
it is there for you at your beck and call
all things in life you can have them all

all it takes is you which way it will go
there inside your mind only you will know
treat life with respect it will respect you to
everything in life is waiting there for you
when sister Moon rises full
dragging the seas and oceans
minds too feel the pull-
a celestial tide of water
that big rock of borrowed light
makes this man of dust wonder.
I see my serial killer neighbour
In the sharp early evening light
It does him no favours
Looks like he's had a fright
He put something in the wheely bin
Took a step
Turned
And fished it out
Cast a look over both shoulders
Cupped his burden
Went back in his flat
He is so slight and skinny
A breath of wind could Leave him prone
He's clearly subduing them with drugs
Before doing what must be done.
It’s an addiction, an affliction,
And I don’t know what to do,
For I am madly and deeply,
In love with Sudoku.

It’s unnerving, disturbing,
And I am going all cuckoo,
For I can’t take my hands off
A game of Sudoku.

In the morning, I’m yawning,
But my fingers are all glued,
To a pen on a Daily,
Immersed in Sudoku.

A passion, an obsession —
With numbers just a few,
Oh I can’t get enough,
Of this wretched Sudoku.

One to nine, how I pine,
For these numbers in a queue,
On my phone all I see is,
A game of Sudoku.

I run late, miss my date,
In a mess through and through,
My heart full of digits.
And head, of Sudoku.

An attraction, a distraction,
I sigh and sob and rue,
To be so in love,
With a game of Sudoku.

It gets worse, now a verse,
Such a long poem too—
Oh me, oh my,
All for Sudoku.
Written in 2014. No longer addicted but still love it. Know when to stop
It's ok to feel discomfort in the body.
It's ok. Observe it, sensations are ever-changing. Nothing wrong with it.
Better measured through Health, friends and happiness. Life is not an exercise in accumulation, but rather the willingness to live grateful with wide open arms.

Find your place in the garden.  Gratitude for the things you have.
Be the one to provide opportunities for others.
They will see your value.  
We bring fecundity in the bonds of love.  She gives you all the gifts.
You’ve lifted me over the moon; I RISE, another day has dawned.

Some blossoms open at night, reminding us beauty can be fleeting
Let that pass for an eternity.

Each day invites us to embrace the full experience of living;  
Take a chance on yourself.  
ignis fatuus  has brought gifts; wary the light shown
if only I can define a meaning in this dim experience.

In the surreal embrace of dreamscapes,  
Countless thoughts swirl within,  
I hardly believed I was still breathing,  
Born amidst the shadows,  
Where the earth's riches await discovery.
My blossom shines its own light for me, for you.

I break into this world, to live for today.
I work at the edge, where the light of Awen beckons,  
Drawing me back to the warmth of this earthly life.  

Foraging into uncharted realms, brambles cross my face,
thick and wild,  
An unyielding maze where the shadows of my demons linger;  
they are a little messed up.  

Yearning to retreat, to find solace on familiar ground.  
Visions of a goddess pulse an existence, so inspired

I stand tall, defenses at the ready,  
Nurturing the delicate blooms of change within.  
In the quiet moments of within myself, I gather strength,  
For transformation requires time, patience, and grace
I humble my mind.

One day, I will rise, petals unfurling to the sun,  
To bring forth my gifts, sharing the beauty of my journey  
With the world the seed is broadcast, as I climb steadily from the dark.
She of three stands before you
