Mirror Image 8/15/2005
You are not truly the person you see in the mirror
that image is not the real you
For the mirror can not reflect the hope in your heart
or the depth of feelings in your eyes
Nor the spirit that may get kicked down but never quits
neither the fire of your passions nor the love you have to
give
it cant even reflect the dreams tucked in your mind
The mirror can only see the surface, ...

Echo 8/14/2005
somehow this is not where i'd Planned to be
at this the autumn stage of my life
i had pictured things quite differently
a little more pleasure, a little less strife
<br>
There are many lessons that life has taught
i have learned the feeling of being lonely while not being
alone
Though it's not the situation i would have sought
it's like living in a house that's no longer ...

to whisper encouragement in your ears
so slip into the shelter of my arms
and let me hug away your fears
let me take your face into my hands
and i shall kiss away your tears

As i look at the lines on your face
i can see the pain-shadow in your eye

The Call 8/13/2005
In the evening while passing, by soft silence surrounded,
at the timewhen the shifting shadows darken,
on the wind a mournful song sounded,
and did i pause to harken.
<br>
at first i wasnt sure that what i heard was true,
the distant voice of a lady fair
singing, lonesome, blue
carried to me on the evening air.

i looked around at forest and plain

The Tower 8/13/2005
She sits on the sidelines
behind cynical armour,
silent, always watchfull of
the follies of mankind
<br>
In sadness tinged with sorrow
she waits for a tomorrow
that will uncover feelings
so long ago left behind.
<br>
and therein lies her secret
the hidden beauty within
long hidden in a tower
built one layer at a time

By sadness it was ...

To have the smell of soul,
To see the colors of mind,
To cherish the courage of hope.

To enjoy the depth of your love,
To touch your heart touching smiles,
To clean all sorrows with my tears.

Childhood 8/7/2005
Remember!
Little girls and boys playing with imaginary toys.
Waking up all warm and safe with their innocence stored
in faith.
When, Moms and Dads they held us tight.
They taught us love and not to fight.
Where the worlds a sandbox warm and gritty.
Your first true love was …a calico kitty.
Untouched and pure, kind and true.
Where families held together and the parents did ...

About the thing that will push you to take the final step?
Maybe it will be the thoughtful words of a friend.
Or a poem you wrote...

In my quantum, and dissolving vision I saw him standing

Intense fever 7/25/2005
One might notice you walking into a room, just by the way
you look, or the way you seem to take over without saying
a word. You stood in my gaze pulsating with intense drive...
Perpetual admiration of body and mind. Naked in words and
soul, nothing can stop this flame in the wind. You take me
to a sensual high with those eyes still staring through
me. Trembling with truth and uninhibited ...

SO SAD 7/22/2005
Near to the door he passed to stand
As he took the glass ring off her hand
All who were watching did not speak
As a silent tear ran down his cheek
And through his mind the memories ran
Of moments they walked ran, hand in hand
But now her eyes were so terrible cold
For he would never have her to hold
They watched in silence as he bent near
And whispered the words..I love you

The Power of Word

Hiding in the corner, staying away from sight.
Avoiding words of sorrow, avoiding words of fight.

Words so joyous, and words of love.
words of guidance, from powers above.

words so malicious, words of discontent.
words so far twisted, from what it was meant.

In the end they are but words, of many expression.

Trapped in the dark seeking a way out,
Unclear of my fate, or what its about.
I reach beyond my current plain,

Wondering if today i can get by,
searching from within, and if not why ?
Remembering that warmth I felt before,
I head towards that, another lifes door.
Surprised at what i find, ...

Seeing its Beauty soon to be lost.

The petals I tore fell swiftly to the ground.

There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue:
I need a sky companion and I want it to be you.

We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up

That's a fact 7/6/2005
As I wander through this life,
with all it's wars, troubles and strife.
And think of how life use to be,
it doesn't seemed to have changed to me.
First I remember, there were the 'Ted's',
Mods, rockers and then skinheads.
Each with it's own violence of sorts,
each causing trouble at seaside resorts.
Africa, Asia even the New World,
Insults, agony even bullets were hurled.

Ending?? I think not... 7/1/2005
I wanted a perfect ending.
<br>
Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't
rhyme, and some stories, life people, don't have a
clear beginning, middle, and end.
<br>
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the
moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's
going to happen next.

I'm free,
Don't grieve for me, for now, I'm free.
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at close of day.

How many thoughts a day do I have? How many memories? In this
shell I occupy how many lives have I lived? To some I am one
thing, to others something else.
Once a day one memory always comes back. It doesn't
have to be any time or place. But it returns maybe for just
a millisecond. But I relive it all, time after time.

When I look into a mirror do I see me?
Or do I see someone I wish to be?
God, so I'm told can see into my soul,
but does he see me playing my role?
We all of us play out life's charade,
some just hide behind a facade.
My life (for what it was) was turned,
I felt the sting of being spurned.
But, I laugh and joke and live again,
only I the real me knows the pain.

words you write 6/15/2005
I wrote some words tonight. I wrote them as they came. They
came out out my head. Unbidden and uncalled for.
My fingers cannot move to the speed of my thoughts. My thoughts
move beyond the speed of light.
Words once said can never be taken back. But words that are
written should be written with care. A chance remark is
sometimes forgotten. But in black and white?

How do you tell if someone is true?
That what they are saying is only for you?

Only turning them over when one side is done?
Tie them up, sit them in a chair?

Roll them up, put them in a great pot?
Turn up the heat 'til it's nice and hot?
Or do you like danger....?
Trust in a stranger....?

The Ticklepenny-in the-Wold Flyer hurtles by,

Here we are on another tour, rounding the bend,

There's the steeple all covered in moss,
gossamar, like candy floss.
It's buried twice daily by the incoming tide,
but the people don't care, they just run and hide.
