"debra" poems
Handicap suburban hippies
Cruising like hyenas
Trampoline ******
****** tissues in ashtrays
Natural born riders
Liquid courage makes little peanuts
Alien Nation
Infomercials on mute
Strange thugs and dark markets
Needles and pixie sticks
Under the manmade weather
New types of bullet holes
Slaying the jabberwocky in
The new Transylvania
The Yes monster
Cranium stadium
Swords and roses
Barren space
Insolent minx
Holidays gone bad
Continental drift

When waves of strife
Crash upon the keel
Equipped I Am
At the Wheel
I flag peace
To Still My Sea
Anchor Safely
Within my being!
If Dark clouds
Block my view
I search
The compass
Of My Mind
Even work overtime
To navigate a new course
Away from the gale force!
Sailors resting on the land
Put themselves to a test
When they hear my SOS
Ready and able
To give a hand
They plot Fearlessly
A Rescue in destructive Sea
Deep and Dark
Beyond me!
(c) Debra Lea Ryan, 25/10/10
When I'm safely on the shore
My heart still yearns to explore
Follow my dreams - Flow with the Sea
Honour Love Within You and Me.

As I look to the sky
Through the depths
Of the night
I see you shining
In your own right
For you are
A Shining Star
Then when I wish
Hope or Dream
Even experience reality
I know exactly
Where you are
Dear Shining Star
You Witness Me
My every breath
That I take
Showing how
I partake
In a sense
Of being struck
Star Stuck
By your Love!

Sunset
A Chess Set
Books to Read
Cups of Tea
Music
And a Sea View
For WHO and ME?
On Mondays!
Ha!
Then WHO will plan the rest of the Week?
I know!
Take it as it Flows!
Sweet!

The blazing sunset
Streams over my head
And the gentle breeze
Whispers its time to forget...
...all those sad thoughts
Weighing you down
Let them Go
Right now
I've fallen in love
With a crimson sky
I'm floating in the joy
Of a natural high
...its so beautiful
To feel at ease
Seek my sunset
Of peace.

There's warmth in our love
And smile in our touch
These colours
Are you and me
With hearts in full flight
The moon, the stars deep in the night
These colours
Are you and me.

Do you want to smell the Flowers
Be in the moments of each day
Receive beauty life offers
And experience your own bouquet
Where do you draw in such fragrance
In a World of many concerns
Simply search your heart My Friend
Look beyond the twists of fern
As the hedge that surrounds Your Sanctuary
Grows a little out of control
Then prune it back carefully
Your Flower needs to be on show
To other beautiful Flowers
That bloom all around
Grateful for Inspiration
In fertile ground!

It's dark but it won't stay this way
When a broken heart releases some of the pain
With a goodbye to yesterday
And a welcomed smile for today
It is like a burst of song
Knowing tomorrow may never come
A moment where night becomes day
To focus on life again.

Autumn Leaves
Float the Breeze
Like the Memories
I have of You
Autumn Leaves
Kiss the Breeze
Then I Remember
Kissing You
Where do you Go?
And why do I feel so Alone?
I said, where do you Go?
I am Alone...
Autumn Leaves
In the Breeze
Disappear as they Fly
The Sky
Autumn Leaves
Forever in the Breeze
Bring on my Tears
As I whisper Goodbye...
Where do you Go?
I hope you are not Alone
Where did you Go?
I hope you are never Alone.

After The Rain
I Sing Again
After The Rain
I Live Again
The Rain, The Rain, The Rain
The Flood of Tears
Have Disappeared
From The Tide
Of Constant Fears
Suddenly
Your Sunny Day
Will Stay
Will Stay
After The Rain
I Sing Again
After The Rain
I LOVE AGAIN
The Rain, The Rain, The Rain

If you don't know what you want
Then you don't want me
It's (so)Head Stuffin'
(And)Soul Destroying
There's the door
You can't ignore
It's over Baby
Yes your indecision
Is driving me crazy
And I know I sound
So angry
Walk away...
Suddenly it seems like I've stopped Lovin'
The truth is - it's just confronting
How you feel
Is a big deal
To me baby
Being lost
In a life of Maybes
(So)
Goodbye
It's Time
... To Walk Away.

It was all about me
And what I wanted to see
Now I cry deep inside
And I don't know why
I thought I could see
Every thing in front of me
Hear every word
That needs to be heard
I didn't look in your eyes
Or even notice your smile
Cause, it was all about me...

I want to say I'm holding you up
Feeling deep a blue kind of mood
Hoping you rest in all our love
Keep holding us, holding us up...
So tell me what actually happened today
Who said what in a hurtful way
(You know)Upset you, hit our World hard
Can we let it go - hang on to our love...
I want to say I'm holding you up
Feeling deep a blue kind of mood
Hoping you rest in all our love
Keep holding us, holding us up...
Don't you think enough is enough
Wake up and only feel our love
Let loose that silent scream
Come closer to us let it be
I want to say I'm holding you up
Feeling deep a blue kind of mood
Hoping you rest in all our love
Keep holding us, holding us up.

I'll take you to Love Street
In a Heart Beat
If you wanna Go
You only need to Know
This is the only Key
To BE with Me
In a Special Place
Where Lovers Embrace
The Thought of YOU Loving Me
Is really EXCITING
DESTINATION LOVE STREET
IN A HEART BEAT.

I forget about the Winter
By singing A Spring Song
To The Summer of my Soul.

There I was, in the shower
Rubbing conditioner through my cropped hair
A flashback to warmer weather
Sunny days with verdant grass.
The sisters played sports together
So did we that day
I failed at passes to you,
But I was always sure to make a few at you.
Pastachio we read
Misspelled above the rocky road,
We read and re read
Flavors and each other.
What if I told you that on that day,
I loved you.
Just as much as the cappuccino chip ice cream
Melting all over my hand
You don’t like coffee.
You probably wouldn’t understand
And here’s another sunny day,
The grass still green
The breeze still warm
Throwing ***** from the hill
In those jeans you loved
Count to ten
Highs and lows
We were so close to a perfect score
Then we came in for a quick nap
You would play your games soon
I read sci-fi
You fell asleep
Inside the crook of my arm.
Time to wake up sleepy head.
Off you go,
Get out of bed.
Who would predict
Such an end.

Liberty is planted in the heart you know
It has taken root and flames our soul
Once a seed but now a Tree
Outstretched with Branches
For the World to See
We can Breathe, We can Conceive
Believe we can in all our Dreams...
Journey on yes we must
Blind at times
But still we trust
That when a rush of wind
Blows through our leaves
Safe is our Soul, Our Tree
We can Breathe, we can Conceive
Believe we can in all our Dreams.

Time can haunt your head
Reminding you of death
Take control of you
If you allow it to

Enormous
fake *****
she thinks
she walks
on water,
no wait
it is wine
cheap at
that.
I see
her buy
it sometimes
at 6 in the
morning
at the
local
supermarket,
when
she thinks
no one
else can
see.
and she
always
pulls me
aside gives
me a sloppy
kiss on
my cheek.
and then
proceeds
to tell me
her latest
personal
fiasco.
or about
this current
lover or
that and
how he isn't
quite
right. and
he never
calls her back,
or that
he is
so inadequate
in bed.
it almost
puts her to
sleep.
She is
a woman
running on
empty.
Today I
woke
up it was
5:45 a.m.
and I didn't
want to
stir from
bed.
didn't need
my trix
cereal fix
that bad.
I said
to myself.
didn't want
to go
to the
supermarket
just to
see if
she was
dead.

Why fight (the) tears
For another year
Enough is enough
Stop hiding from love
End this rain
Let the sun
Heal some pain
There is room
To dress those wounds
Make amends
Be a friend
Shine a smile
From the inner child
End this rain
Let the sun
Heal some pain
There is room
To dress those wounds.

It is what it is
Residing in your mind
Sometimes off the planet
Working overtime
Watershed in your head
A flood of dreams you possess
Watershed in your head
A flood of dreams you possess
They are what they are
Buzzin' in your brain
Sometimes flyin' the rails
Like a bullet train
Watershed in your head
A flood of dreams you possess
Watershed in your head.

Be still my Friend
Relax its okay
Allow your Heart
To have its way...
In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today
Though the Seas get rough
And the Storms are tough
Tune out from beyond
Then hear Your Song...
In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today
There you go
Now you Know
Your World you see
Is how you want it to be...
In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today
Ride the Tides
With love inside
Peace lives On
Yes On and On...
In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today.
