I remember, where two oceans collide
Off fore shore, so blue and wide
Seagulls call, haunting presence on air
Emotional explosion, for being there
Focus the cape, a lighthouse stands
Rocky outcrops, sea spray as hands
Wraps you in spirits, of those before
Making a journey, stay in folk-lore
In memory, a special place belongs
Echo of nature, wind plays its song
Draw eyes to far horizon, inner peace
View stays forever, truth not on lease...

at the very northern tip of New Zealand.....

Special moment, eyes met
You realised, path was set
Accept fate, trust went on
Memories, as a special song
Feelings you belong, was all
To feel safe, you text or call
Ensures warm glow, inside
Lifting hopes, giving pride
Special moments, to share
Loved, those we know care
Fleeting memories, retain-hold
In down times, we act bold
Over years, they mellow-fade
Warm fuzzies, foundation laid
Resurface, when time's right
Change dark, becoming light
Looking forward, never back
Finding strength, not to lack
Positive not negative, lead way
The way to face, every new day

About this poem:
pulling from the past.......to assist the future
Post Comment
I know that such parting:
Alarm at heart and emptiness.
Both again pain, and again expectation
Call or post leaf...
I know what is recalls:
The thrown photo for a long time,
Half-forgotten voice, that earlier
I excited you as sweet wine.
And the semi-erased phone number,
The lost about two wings,
Cynical smile and, after
The question is not necessary:
"How are you doing?"..

If I could build
a bridge to your
very heart
This is the
day I'd choose
to start
I'd build it high
above your ocean
of pain
With pillars of
steel against
the rain
I'll battle the
wind, the waves,
and the sea
If that's what
it takes for us
to be
I'll labor hard
both day and
night
Until at last
you're in my
sight
You'll pay no
toll to cross
this bridge
My love to you
I freely give~

I saw dark clouds filling the skies
It brought tears to my eyes
Suddenly the rain came
adding to my pain
The darkness of my soul
became a black hole
No light could enter
I could not find my center
I felt lost and alone and I felt
my heart like a stone
Nothing could atone
After a time the rain stopped
the clouds blew away
I saw the sunlight piercing it's rays
A rainbow appeared along with an angel quite clear
with love in her eyes and crying crystal tears
She told me to let go of my fear and hate or suffer needless pain and a dire fate
Know that the heavens are always here to remind you
to hold onto what is true and dear.
Listen to the voice of truth
no matter how painful it may seem
for you are responsible for your dreams
You may not like the various angels sent to you but, their truth they speak is tailored for you.
Many may not understand your ways and you may not understand theirs
yet do consider everyone is on the same journey to self
it's just that they are on a different path.
If on occasion you meet a few you can relate and they likewise share the same fate
Learn from them and love them for their gifts
for they likewise seek the same from you.
Let not your arrogance and ignorance shadow your inner beauty
For you know that is not your reality.
You were created out of love and given certain gifts that you may offer them to others in name of the God you dance to from above
Each moment wasted in anger and regret is a moment you cannot get back for love and joy on a bet.
Hence, look from within and find your truth for you will see the light behind the clouds
You don't need to constantly seek approval from the crowd for they are equally lost and found within the clouds.
Simply offer your love and let it embrace them from above
If they receive you then bless them.
If they reject you simply forgive them.
True freedom is knowing you gave in your capacity
and you did not lose your integrity or tenacity.
Always consider the demands that many place upon you is often the same they place upon themselves
You may not please or impress everyone
yet, that is not the goal
in life.
Just do what makes you happy and stop the strife.
You are not getting any younger or feeling any better
or wiser
It's time to change the visor.
Many will judge and criticize your thinking but do not fret
for everyone has their point of view
It doesn't matter because Heaven and Earth will still love you.
Years from now when your bones are resting underground all that may be said of you is you lived and died leaving not much of a sound.
Yet, know that no matter how bad things get there is a promise that heaven made
that the love it has for all will never fade.
Look for the rainbow and see the colors glow the pot of gold at the end is the love I send.

Thankful
For this roof I have over my head
For the warm clothes that I have to wear
and also for my comfortable bed
Thankful
For my family and faithful friends
who will always be there for me come what may
Whenever, whatever the time of night or day
I feel so gratefully blessed
Without any real reason to grumble
However, there is just one thing I am missing
Cosy nights in cuddling and kissing
Haven’t really any cause to moan
but It would be lovely to be somebody's darling
Have a man I can proudly call my own

In our voices, sunlight;
wide open spaces in our words...
sunlight and space beyond the door
of the dark little room that can hold us
no more.

Just a little one :-) "Inspirational" sounds a bit arrogant of me, but I don't mean it to be!

Drive a coast road, not a car in sight
Sky above, on scene light-and-bright
Shine reflects, a sparkling rolling sea
Miles upon miles, beach-empty-free
Reach settlement, few houses stand
Tiny fishing boats, dotted on the sand
Isolated reality, from distant towns
Swimwear-casual, smiles not frowns
Normal welcome, a casual drive
People without events, to feel alive
Living their days, no need of others
Share good times, lovers or brothers
Will the beach, be a place to just sit
Unless a friendly party, bonfire is lit
Sky above clear, allowing the stars
To twinkle brightly, allow to see far
These the place, tourists rarely seen
Preferring night, bars-club's-lights beam
Sleepy communities, life rolls by each day
Only those in cities, live a life that can pay
Money-material things, not with smiles
To reach isolated beauty, travel miles
Both lives, allow to decide-understand
Makes human's happy, woman-child-man

Dance with me, follow each beat
On the dance floor, building heat
Flashing lights, hopes and dreams
In a night club, music supreme
Colours flash, sound explodes
Passion builds, a power load
Feelings special, come alive
Heady moments, excitement rise
Laughter spins, around a floor
Sound captured, closed doors
Loud vibrations, lifting scene
Pulse rises, grasp the dream
