No Time
02/23/04 |
As time ticks by our lives unfold
each day brings new thoughts and deeds
forgotten friends, half remembered dreams
memories fade different needs
as we grow old, new babies born
couples part fresh love found
darkness envelops till new day dawns
no one cares, if there's no one around
telephone rings shattering the silence
breaking into imaginings of yesterday
the music plays softly in the corner
reading cards and letters, words meant to say
door slams shut, another opens into space
traffic racing along the motorway
don't have time to stop a while
will we regret this out come one day
rushing madly, shouting screaming
no time for politeness voices snapping
machines churning minds scheming
plans wrecked accidents causing
STOP: listen to the world outside
to many people living on the poverty line
take care cause one day it may be you
who needs a friend the wires are so fine
when asked can you do something for me
think a while before you answer
don't have time to much to see
give them a hug is all they ask
dry the tears, say I will be there
is it really that much of a task
to hold a hand listen for a while
comforting words saying you care
just say Hello give a smile
it will simply brighten some ones day
Life seems too fast to simply stop and say "HELLO"

Half Remembered
03/09/04 |
A half remembered poem, a dream,
a scent, a touch, a careless style,
a memory now here, now gone
elusive as an infant's smile.
Was there caprice, a transient glow
that brought me joy, or was it grief?
Through shadowed paths of time I search,
illusion mocks me, time's a thief.
My eyes have paled to emptiness
this wintry vista never planned,
my soundless song no longer sung
my footprints leave no mark on sand.
How tenuous my days, so thin
that I could slip through falling rain
and stay untouched by any drop
of fearful joy or daunting pain.
Yet something magic once filled me
and dim remembrance clouds the pain
of dissipating into air
with no one knowing I was there.

Motions Healed By Written Words
03/25/04 |
Words which torture, words that blind,
Words which open, words that find.
All I love and all I fear,
Hidden in the keyboard here.
Words I've written lessen strife
Helps me make some sense of life
Emotions stirred tears that flow
Writing poetry helps memories go
Often wonder why and how
Will the hurt diminish now
Feelings on the paper form
Help to still the raging storm
Sleep is calling eyelids fall
As the tiredness hits the wall
Can't stop thinking things went wrong
Should have seen them coming along
Dreams haunt your face appear
One day the mist will clear
Then like the dawn the world anew
I can continue my life without you.

Win Or Lose
04/09/04 |
Learn from all the lessons in life
Remember the good times
Forget the strife
Dry your tears, laugh away the sighs
Look to tomorrow
It's right there before your eyes
Stop questioning the past you can't turn back the clock
Regret nothing along the road
Climb over that stumbling block
Turn the corner the path is never straight
Onwards and upwards
It's never to late
To change your life, reach for your goal
Look deep within yourself
Find your inner soul
Friends will hold your hand some may lead you astray
True friendships will remain
Others lost along the way
One things Remember, whichever road you chose
The decision must be yours
Win or lose

A Moment
04/24/04 |
It's 5am and as the world sleeps
The Internet highway groans and creeps
along the brainwaves of my mind
and with trepidation and nerves I find
the courage to tap out these words to you
they are so long and time overdue
As history keeps tugging at my sleeve
I wonder would be simply best to leave
the lid tight closed and buried deep
with my thoughts and memories keep
Fate takes a hand alters many things
folks we , meet, luck or unhappiness brings
what holds the key we don't understand
when someone steps over and takes our hand
death calls something's we cannot change
somehow it destroys our lives, yet we rearrange
We never understand the reasons why
it chooses me, as we start to cry
these word are hard to write to you
realize what l need to say and do
please understand its for the best
lets leave things and they are and rest
Memories are precious, won't forget
nor for a moment, stop and regret
the meeting tough felt good at the time
we can't put back what was yours and mine
another we lead now, no longer part
although we will forever be in each others heart
Will I rgret saying Goodbye - Maybe

A Shadow On A Thought
06/23/04 |
You are but a shadow of a thought
Cannot give me what I am looking for
The battle lost before it began
As I stand on the edge of your life
I don't want to join the battle
I know I cannot win
Yet I have no choice.
I love you to the extremes
Of all emotions
Not understanding
Who you are
Trust nothing else
Trust only my heart
Giving in to the deepest feelings
Tortured by you being so far out of reach
Yet I cannot lose you
As you're not mine to lose

Sightless
09/14/04 |
Sun sparkles through the gapping curtains
Dirty windows washed by the rain soaked night
Dust in layers on old dark furniture
Bread stales, curling lied on ancient pine table
Cobwebs hang motionless on oak beams in the ceiling
Mould grows on the cheese as mice nibble at it noiselessly
Silence is deafening in the vacant gloom
Clothes piled high on the floor soiled and forlorn
Sheets crumpled by sleep disturbed nights
Papers scattered over the floor half written words
Photo ripped into tiny unrecognizable pieces
Cold ashes smothered flames from days gone by
Wine stained carpet glass shattered lies where is fell
Pills spilled dropped by the clutch of deaths hand
Curled huddled in the chair in the corner
She sits staring sightless at the wide open door

Missing Angel
11/14/04 |
Last night, they were doing a headcount
Of all the angels in heaven
There was one big problem,
The sweetest angel was missing!
Please let them know you're ok.
Last night, they discovered
Amongst the angels in heaven
The auburn haired, with sky blue eyes
Had slipped off a cloud
Please let me know your ok
Last night, it rained
As angels were crying overhead
The puddles formed here on earth below
I simply didn't understand
Please let me know your ok
Last night the stars went out
All the Angels halos no longer shone
The sky was forbidding dark and black
Even the moon looked sad
Please let me know your ok
Last night I sat here on the doorstep
Trying so hard to see the angels up above
But all I saw was emptiness
All I felt was loneliness
Please let know your ok

Did You Forget The Reason
12/21/04 |
The angel of god came and foretold
Of kings with frankincense and gold
Of shepherds in lonely fields asleep
Watching over theirs flocks to keep
Of a stable so bare and all forlorn
Where a child so special and newly born
Whose parents Joseph and meek Mary
Guard over him, tender and so gently
No room was there for them to stay
So in this lonely stable amongst the hay
With Ass and cattle all around
Folks all stood without a sound
And marvelled in all they foresaw
Long queues even forming at the door
Somehow over the years folks have forgot
Only worried about their own given lot
Of what this all meant too the world
As war and hunger, nastiness is hurled
Lets all step back to that Christmas Eve
And start again to listen and believe
Love our fellow man whatever his creed
Stop all this contempt we've began to breed
Put away the anger, the trouble and strife
And reflect on what was a wonderful life
The only queues that now do form
At clanging cash till now seems the norm
As anger rages tempers flare
To get that present for those we care
Spend a fortune we can ill afford
Put the profits high on the financial board
Credit cards heating up or melt down
Have to pay when New Year comes round
Instead open your hearts too everyone and hold
A hand of someone out there in the cold
Give them warmth and a listening ear
And spread some of that Christmas cheer
We don't need to spend money to give
To help someone grow and untimely live
Just be there when they call to you
Support and guide them, and help them through
The darkest tunnel then never seems to end
Simply be there and just be their friend

My Part Of The Bargain
01/03/05 |
I have collected all the raindrops
Within my slender hands
Taken up my paint box colouring the rainbow bands
Winds have rushed through the tresses of my amber hair
And whispered songs of moonbeams
As sounds hustle through the silent air
I've sprinkle the starlight in the blacken sky
And packed up all the clouds of grey
Wrapping them in up in tissue with a purple ribbon tie
Tinted the leaves on the trees with many shades of brown
Dried up all the muddy puddles
And erased away your worried frown
Freed the songbirds from their gilded cage
Listen to the sweetest tune
As they sooth away your sorrow and your rage
I've banished Jack Frost back to the North Pole
Found all the lost pieces
Of your shattered heart, tried to make you whole
I hope you will understand this is the best that I can do
I've kept my part of the bargain,
And Now the rest is simply up to you
