I want to have a paddle in my secret special place
Where the memories of my childhood bring a smile upon my face
Where the people never knew me and the houses stood so tall
Where I dipped my toes in water as I sat upon the wallWhere the ripples of the pond meet the bubbles of the brook
Where the clumps of weed hide shoals of fish, if you take a careful look
Where the fields of grass are endless and the trees are still all there
The beauty of this place never succumbs to wear and tearSee the children search for crayfish, shall I show them where they hide?
We shall lift the stone together and admire our catch with pride
Where the church bells still amuse me and the gravestones lean much more
Where the stained glass patterns light the aisle, the forever open doorIf I go and have my paddle, my mind it shall be free
And I shall leave that place again, a happy peaceful me.tinks
12 July, 2009 at 2:17 pm #306825Sinuous, I wound my way
through the darkness where the forget-me-nots grow.
Enthralled, I watched the drowning wolf dance,
lost within the river’s icy flow.
Sleepless, I leapt
between the storm’s soothing fangs
that fell as the morning star, violent and slow.
Blind, I slew my saviour thrice-born
stained by yearning’s ichor, the horrendous crow.
Buried, I burnt in the liquid sky
laughing silence, smothered by fresh fallen snow.
Waking, I heard the mute howl deafening,
mourning the comrade consigned to the abyss below.
Halting, I found my place
amid that flowered plain, and found peace
akin to that the dead do know.25 August, 2009 at 5:38 am #306826And now, as many days have passed
What now?
Life, life is waking up all around me
and yet as life wakes up
so do all the emotions
the yesterdays
the todays
the tommorows.And what of the yesterdays
futility, holding on to whats gone
hovering above my head
threatening to engulf
the todays
the tommorowsAnd what of the todays
new day, new adventures
I remind myself
to live today, as tommorow
may never come
and today,
will become yesterday
and a broken chance
to live my tommorowsAnd what of the tommorows
methinks that today
i must put right
my yesterdays
mend all those bridges
that threaten
all my todays
when they get here tommorow.31 August, 2009 at 9:34 pm #306827delusional, or am I, is there
really that deep hole in my heart
does it hurt, does it leave a
feeling
of such emptiness
that little piece that
was occupied so fiercly
and yet
was never sure
was never perfect
and yet
you were there, my freind alwaysnone of us
are ever perfect, others
sitting on
the outside of the circle
will never understand
never understand
how you stood
in spite of your pain
in spite of your sorrow
you stood and fought
you stood and fought with me
you were there. my freind alwaysand yet
i fight to fill the void
the empty chunk
that sits there without you
to fill the one place
in my heart , reserved
just for you
you were there, my freind always1 September, 2009 at 11:30 am #306828All the gold in the world
Could not buy one day of life
And you have that treasure
That special day
Right now, ready and waiting to be harvested
Believe in yourself, for within you is everything you’ll ever need to make your dreams come true
Find the blessing
Find the lessons to be learnt
Find the strength you never thought you had
Find the triumph1 September, 2009 at 8:33 pm #306829Goodbye George
Goodbye, I couldnt get to say
Goodbye to you in person
and yet
I feel your presence
even now
you stayed so long
for your boy
your boy you thought
could not live without you
and yet
now barely 2 weeks
since he passed
you passed, still to be with him
just as you had always
been there
in life

Goodbye, dear sweet George2 September, 2009 at 10:10 am #306831Don’t wait for some distant love to come
It may be too late before you’ve even begun
Not everyone will agree with all you decide
Be true to yourself first and foremost
The only important thing in life is what you do with your time here on earth
Don’t cloud today with things that can’t be undone
You have no more control over yesterday or tomorrow
Than you do the raging of your passions
Do not quiet these dreams nor quench your desires
For if you do your journey is ended
You have only today to begin anew and follow your dreams
For in the end all we have are our memories
When the twilight comes to us
Let there be no excuses, no explanations and no regretsS x
5 September, 2009 at 6:13 pm #306832I’m sad today my eyes keep crying
I’m all alone so no one can see
To the world I’m happy
No-one helps meI’m sad today my stomach is in knots
I miss you Ranj, you are at rest
To the world I’m happy
What was my test?I’m sad today,my mind keeps wandering
Am I really that bad?
To the world I’m happy
I can’t take all that I’ve hadI’m sad today, my heart is in pain
I don’t deserve the love
To the world I’m happy
Only he knows, the person up aboveKay
23 September, 2009 at 5:32 am #306833There are many miles between us,
But our hearts see not the distance.
Drawing our love even closer,
On this my heart it is insistent.
When we talk my heart sings,
You’ll never know the happiness it brings.
Just to hear a word from you,
Keeps my heart from being blue.
I love you truly, yes I do.
I forever want to be with you.
For now I’ll settle for the phone,
But know it’s in your dreams that I belong
Longing for the day we greet,
Two loving hearts will then get to meet.
Never more to be apart,
Knowing it was long distance we got our start -
