When the world is falling apart around you
And you can smile as though you haven't a clue
Encouraging others volunteering you as their tower
Is when you have got true undiluted "Power".

When you have built a life for far too many years
Watched it fall apart without shedding too many tears
And start building again. Whether it be faster or slower
Then my child you have got real heartfelt "Power".

When you have committed yourself to marriage
And from another comes the baby in a carriage
And you can accept and becomes his mother
Then Lady you have indeed earned real "Power".

When you have carried a child in your womb
And then watched him/her being put in a tomb
Cried your tears but never call all grapes sour
Then even the Lord will agree you emits "Power".

When your best friend is outed as your only foe
And you can forgive and still love him/her so
Even after he/she has rode you like a lawn mower
Then and only then you have grown in "Power".

When you are broke and without a income
But you provide for your family and then some
Your integrity and dignity in tact every hour
Then you have learned to manage "Power".

When your Spirit has been overly abused by all
But your Soul has refused to allow it to fall
It mends tears and heal each wound daily.
Now you are wielding "Power" really!

Americas' West is inundated with landscape I've long wanted to see
I would definitely like to visit but making it home could never be
Viewing The Northern Lights in Alaska is another vacation dream
witnessing the phenomenon is most likely to induce a joyous scream

Watching animals in their natural habitat of The Serengeti defines intense
being surrounded by killer predators pushes adrenaline rush to immense
I'd become overwhelmed during my soaking in of Ancient Roman Land
totally paralyzed by awe as I absorb the magnificent history firsthand

Those resplendent Islands of Hawaii are indubitably a desirable place
on that paradise in the Pacific I badly want my own personal space
Two other must see destinations are Australia and The Paris France
Switzerland, South Africa and Ireland too if ever I had the chance

A venture to Costa Rica and Venice are among my Dream Wish List
If I had ONE wish I'd choose going where that alleged heaven exist
To be perfectly honest most aren't even feasible considering I hate to fly
my Philosophy is 'no airplanes negates crashing down being how you die'

It's that time of year again to appreciate the nights
Where love and thought encourages the lights
Some of the houses are dressed oh so fine
Other creations have a simple line
There's reindeer and sleds upon rooftops
Giant presents and candy cane lots
Stars mounted as high as can be
Sparkling bright for all to see
Thirty foot santa's blown up tall
Dancing in the breeze as I recall
Light here lights there
Colourful lights everywhere
But the one that stood out to me the most
Was the simple one from the honest host
Alone it sat in the window frame
A Christmas tree with no name
Dressed with just lights of blue
A six foot tree with a beautiful hue
Capturing all that it needed to
An aura of serenity through and through........

Oh Poet! Cherish not too much the people’s love.
That fleeting noise of rapturous shouts won’t last;
Fool’s judgment will you hear, throng will laugh,
Stay firm instead and cool, in gloom entranced.

You’re king: you live alone. On road of lore
Walk following your free, unbridled mind,
Perfecting fruits of your beloved thoughts,
Not asking for reward for noble deeds of yours.

Reward - it dwells in you. Yourself – a court supreme,
Can judge your work by strict appraisal of your will,
Are you, severe judge, contented with its worth?

Contented if you are let crowd scold and whip
And spit on altar where your flame is lit,
And shake in childish playfulness your tripod!

I stand on a cold snowy night
nothing but a full moon and bright stars in my sight
would like to send a message
but the air is taking my life with thought's we've never
met so how can this be right with only an image of
your face standing in the light should i reach through
the moon or wish upon that one star tonight cause
without that special someone in your life!

It's just another cold night.

I've been having drink's setting through the night
thought i should write it down before it leaves my life it's so hard to explain
wasting time writing rhymes is a passion of mine and your picture can't get
off my mind
You say you're looking for a partner of some kind and
something about crime all that's fine but i'm not doing
no time!


So may i call you Bonnie
If my name is Clyde?

Gentle or rough, music you hear
Waves lift-filter, life's water clear
Sparkle in sunlight, accept rain
Man tries to control, never tame

Shoreline rugged, peaceful sand
A tidal ocean, reaches the land
Form many pictures, through time
Mirrored sea to sky, division by line

Tide as nature, never can tether
Four seasons, change of weather
Remind us, life at times a struggle
Human experience, learn to juggle

Keep true focus, what lies ahead
Positive outlook, not one to dread
As ever morning, starts a new day
Maybe encounter, as hope finds a way...

It is time to move on now.
Onwards and upwards, one step at a time
Ready willing and able to leave the past behind
in the past
Drawing a clear line in the sand

Forward focussed, and happy
Never again shall I ever become trapped
For, now, and at last, I am once again feeling
open minded,with open arms,a open heart
Able to trust destiny’s hand

No longer enslaved, crippled by fear.
No need to look back over my shoulder,unless
to assess just how far I have come, how well I’ve done
With the great support from true friends and family
Who knew how much I persevered, endured,
pushed through, had to overcome and
encouragingly cheered me on !

Nine years old
With a burden to big to bare
A major operation
Four doctors would have to share
Seven hours of hope
Stitched in with care
A young girls dilemma
Unsure of the aware

A touch and go situation
Delicate and fine
Rearranging the the vertebrae
So they would align
No mistakes allowed
Or they would resign
To the young one's fate
And a crippled spine

The prognosis looks good
The tests have been done
Only room for improvement
For this tender young one
There's good feelings here
There's good feelings there
Highlighting the amazing skills
Of the people who care.......
