Ah, Panini, espresso, cheese with wine
I can smell it now
It suits me fine
When we need a break
And vacations a must
We Hit the road
It’s Italy or Bust
See you all next week!
Uncategorized
My darkness is naked,
You come as my light
I follow your glimmer
Deep into night
Fear falls behind
As trust grabs my hand
Lead me away
To somewhere unplanned
Feet moving freely
On cobblestone air
Gliding so smoothly
Without such a care
You’re guiding me now
A fantasy flight
We blow past the stars
Our spirits ignite
Ablaze are our souls
A mystical view
What I’ve left behind
To trust this in you
As we whirl high upon
Between heaven and earth
Our worlds now collided
With joyous free mirth
Take me, my Light,
My darkness recedes!
I trust you!
I lust you!
You’ve planted the seed
Let it grow
Let it thrive
Keep my spirit this free
For I’ve yearned for the time
To have freedom from me
Daunted by the wind
She is not,
Comfort in opposition
In which she can rise
Unlike the Man
She is
The bird of nature
Fixated on the mission
Of her flight
Obstacles
A positive,
Strategy of thought
Survival
Instinct
Goes untaught
Perspective
Insight
Keeps her alive,
Obstructed by adversity
The bird surely will die
Embrace the elements of the wind
As life mishap unfolds
Live life as the Bird in the sky
Daring to be bold
For I am the Child
That I was long ago
I exist
Sacred corner of my soul
I cannot taste the bitter
I know not of the wrong
I am pure and simple
Unscathed by years lorn
Upholding dreams
Against acquisition of fear
That Childs life eternal
An end will draw near
Belligerent for answers
My adult counterpart
Why kill the child
That’s born to our heart
With love she will flourish
With peace of mankind
Our child within
An inquisitive mind
Taint her please not
With knowledge of war
Injure her not
Of the lonely and poor
Let just a piece
A small piece of soul
House our dear child
To chaperone us old
A reminder of beauty
Of trust and those kind
A shield from the truth
Of ruined mankind
For I am the Child
That I was long ago
Let me live on
To never let go
Communication
Like raking leaves in the wind
Futile
Trust
As sunshine in the night
Impossible
Feelings
As Sandcastle in the storm
Gone
Deafening silence
Screams in my head
Blind insight
Shows me the way
As I roam through this life
Day after day
Exasperated
Numb to the bone
Are we all out of our minds?
Is there anyone home?
Or are we all just burn outs
From the technical age
Fast paced nowhere
Chicken pick wage
Creative thinking
Smothered and dead
Traded for production
Of the masses instead
Will Artistry once
Be illegal with time
Because it is something
That requires a mind?
Young boy ran barefoot,
Unfamiliar pain
As he skinned his toe
Falls in to his mother’s arms
Let’s his tears now flow
Not picked for the team,
Weakness can’t show
Left out on the side
Turns his head down to his arm
To hide his
Watery eyes
Gather strength
Learn fast young man
How to protect your pride
No time for weakness in this world
Your tears now you must hide
But God gave a gift
When life gets hard
When times no longer sweet,
He gave for that his gift of tears
For our eyes to greet
When bitter of pain
Cripples your way
Eats away your core,
Call power of tears
To flush it out
Help your mind restore
Like happiness ignites
A rejoice full glee
That follows with a smile,
Know that God has given tears
To stop the pain a while
They mend the heart
Restore the faith
Remind us it’s all right,
To be how He’s created us
With tears in our Gods sight
I held you in my arms
Rocked away your tears
Skimmed stones upon the water
Tea parties in early years
There for you when you came home
Spoke about your day
There for you when you would call
When things were not ok
Shared the joys and milestones
Of yours as well as mine
One others strength in times of darkness
Together we found light
With planted seed a role was given
To last my whole life through
To love and guide
Honor
Respect
The ever changing you
I’m more tired now as I grow old
And you so very strong
Choose wisely now
My Darling Daughters
And find where you belong
Remember your past
From where you’re from
Don’t hide in memories pain
Life has a way of mending itself
To get on your feet again
The highs don’t stay nor do the lows
Nothing stays the same
Now go on
Sweet Children
In to your world
Grab that dream
That bares
Your name
I love you my Darling
As you lay fast asleep
I love you my Darling
Breathe slow and deep
In the light of love
Of all you hold dear
In the light of life
Of all you endear
Drenched in the moonlight
I lay by your side
Your Silhouette falling
Into my eyes
Wander your dreams
Of colors surreal
Fly through the clouds
Make impossible real
Let this night take you
Far and away
For you’re loved and protected
As long here I lay
Early spring night
Yet so sultry and warm
Guide him now
Bring him back for dawn
I love you my darling
Breathe slow and deep
I love you my Love
As you travel your sleep
Sensuous
Harmonious
Copious
Vagarious
Delicious
mysterious
Us
Even camels need water
Mother Theresa
Love
Endless journey
Oh heavens above
To give and accompany a whole life long
Questioning never how to be strong
I question you now
As my river runs dry
Thirsty camel
Love gone by
Where’s my next step
In the sands of time
Is it ego or heart
That gives me the sign
That the path I will follow
Includes my right
Not to thirst for the water
Be loves oversight
I see clearer now
With sand in my eyes
This desert storm
To my surprise
Dried up my heart
And disabled my tears
I see clearer now
After so many years
A victim of whirlwind
A fault of my own
This love thirsty camel
Wants to go home
Mask of morning fog
Covers the rays of breaking sun
Mask of a smile
Covers the residue of broken dreams
Disguises both ways
Distorts what may be
A manipulated state so real you’ll believe
The sun still shines just not in our eyes
The residue of pain not healed
Switch the perception
View from a new side
Then see the truth
That these masks don’t reveal
What’s it all anyway
It’s all just a storm
The days that are perfect
Are not life’s true norm
Put on the glasses with rose colored lens
Positive, reassured it’ll get better again
What is that” better” and when will it come
I think its a farce that fools everyone
Does it exist?
Is carefree alive?
Is it a part of the past,
In the future deprived
Of roads paved smooth
The way not furrowed
Faith in the heart
Of love not troubled
I’ll get on my knees
In the midst of this rain
Pave a new path
For love once again
This storm too shall pass
We’ll again find the norm
And the strength for life’s struggle
To which we were born
You wanna go
You wanna stay
You want the pain
to fade away
You wanna laugh
You only cry
Why can’t this time
Just fade on by
You had enough
You had your fill
Sit back relax
Take a pill
Your body’s weak
Your head is stone
Catapulted Mind
Find your way home
Sun kiss my shoulders
Block this cold within
Next chapter of life
begs to begin
You wanna go
You wanna stay
You want your life
To find its way
Dear Me,We haven’t spoken in a long time. We used to be real close, knew just what we were going through just by instinct and feelings. I miss those times and I really miss you. I wonder just how you are. How the kids are, life? All treating you ok? We should go out again once. Remember forget the world and have fun…just us, because we matter too? Well, we still do matter. We always will. Time changes a lot of things. The saddest thing is when it changes us. Changes our strength, our direction, our plan that we once had, our dreams. We lose touch. Yea, things happen. You know that well enough. It’s okay. Just promise me you’ll be in touch again. I miss your smile and the way you always made me laugh. I’ll always be your best Friend…reach out to me. You know I am here. See you soon, ok? I love you. Love,
Me
The Starting End
