That First Tender Kiss

That First Tender Kiss

Wistful reminiscing of that first tender kiss and making the choice to be untamed or settle down with that yet fiery spirit.

Shove Off

"Shove Off"

I think taking a cruise would be a GRAND WAY to experience a bit of change from the mundane, day in, day out routine of life and all the hurdles that come with it!! Never been on one myself, but would sure enjoy the experience! Especially since I don't know the guy looking at me in the mirror anymore!! Anyone want to take me on a cruise with them? :-)

HEAVENLY NUGGETS

HEAVENLY NUGGETS

To me the success of my life is more about how I lived my life to make things here in my own little world better. How to help others (was a public employee for 34 years)in my community, church, friends and most of all my family/loved ones. To me that is more important in God's eyes then money, power and success. Love is the most important thing in this world. And God is Love. He wants us to live in Love and to give that Love to others. Then one day I pray to live in Heaven with Him.

F E A R

A game I played and found it so frightening and spellbound at the end the plot thicken to bring the conclusion that the hero and the small girl are related ...she was his mother and she was protecting him from some of the dark projects the scientists did with her DNA.....

When Tears Dare Fall

I pray a lot and at times cry...not a lot...but just so I can purge the undesirable out...I prefer doing this over indulging in pointless arguments or making others feel guilty when I don't get what I want...

No Chains To Shackle Me

There will be no chains to shackle me. I am like the blowing wind. I can be a nice calm day. Or a storm that is on its way. But I will run free. I come from the time of peace and love. And you were old if you were thirty or above. A time w

Storrington re visited

Storrington re-visited.

Storrington a village that derives its name from Saxon times, Stor being the stream running through, and ton a dwelling place. There I spent my childhood,recently I re-visited those bygone haunts, nestling still beneath the Southdowns, this my reflection.

Dancing The Night Away

As Morgen said, it seems like the "blues bug" has struck the corner lately. I thought I would brighten it up a bit with a happy "fun" poem. Perhaps others can do the same.

air conditioner

Another invention I am really glad I can afford. I love my air conditioner in my apartment and car. Thankfully I still have one in my car so I can keep the windows always rolled up to keep the bugs out and my ability to sing without disturbing anyone. This morning I sang to Madonna's La Isla Bonita, Susan Vega's Tom's Diner, and Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All.

Happiness is bad

Happiness is bad!

An article I came across in the Internet and translated for you. Don't know the author, and this is not my opinion, but I agree with the advice given by the scholars: the more you think about being happy and such things the less happy you feel. Better think about how fortunate you are to have been brought here on earth as a rational human being capable of all earthly and unearthly feelings. This is happiness in a true sense! I am thankful to God for each and every day of seeing the beauties of His creation all around!!!

I'm sure a porcelin ballerina would like to be human for at least a while and people sometimes need a safe and carefree fantasy world to ease their stress.

Medicine Waters of the Great Spirit

Medicine Waters of the Great Spirit

Ripley's Believe it or Not called it the "Eighth Wonder of the World" in 1984. To Abenaki American Indians, it is a sacred spot with natural healing powers. Over the last two centuries, people with enterprising ideas have envisioned it as a place of business. Four hotel fires later, they were left to wonder: was it coincidence that led to their failure, or the curse of Brunswick Springs, Vermont?

Are you there

The frustration of meeting someone that keeps on being illusive.

Broken And Beautiful

Perhaps, it is because of the experience of being broken by hurt, and the suffering that goes with it, in whatever area of life, that we are able to experience greater depths of happiness at a later time. Kahlil Gibran says: "The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain." Perhaps, it is within the very cracks of our brokenness that we can discover a new joy and beauty that we may not be able to experience if we were not cracked and broken. I wish to dedicate this piece to those who have experienced acute pain and suffering in their lives, whether in romantic love or otherwise. Remember the words of Kahlil Gibran!

Dark moments in my Daughters life

Dark moments in my Daughters life.

To start with the first truth,this Poem was very hard to do,I cry and write,cry and write again and again,the feelings of the memories came out from the shadow. Her Mother did not want children at all,what I could not understand,because I wonted so many of them and I was believing,that as a Mother she is sure going to Love her children,but I was badly wrong. We was over all to far from each other in to many things and then I left the family for my two Sons Mother. My Love for my Daughter was very deep and her Mother was very jealous about it and told to my Daughter that she was the reason to our divorce. She told my Mother,that she is going to do everything she can to destroy my life. Before that she met with my new Love and they made a deal,that if I take care of her needs,then she give my Daughter to us. When I heard it ,I could not accept that other people make a deal about how to use me and I did refuse. I have think about it many time later and that I should had accept to be used,then I could had safe my Daughter from the horrible things that was done to her. Later my Daughter was taken with Ambulance two times unconscious to the Hospital,but nobody still checked what was the real reason.....I never knew what had happen,but if I had heard about it,I had for sure not believed in any accident. My Daughter got finally courage enough to brake her self out from the jail she had live in from 4 years old on the Fathers day,when she was 15,she came to me and refused to go back to the Mother. From 4 years old,she had to wash her own cloth,make food,take care of all her own things and also wash the floor of whole the apartment on knees in an old way,she kept her as an made or in fact more as like a Slave. About 20 years ago,she got a stroke in the Brain where she had got the damage when the Mother kick her around the room. The Doctor was thinking she hardly going to survive,but I think she is of hardwood as I am and she survived. She still has to take Aspirin every day to keep the blood thin and a shadow is of course hanging over her. After she moved to live with me,she still had hardship with her self,she was not sure who she was,because the Mother had destroyed almost all her own will. She start to drink in secret and when I realized it,she was already alcoholic.

Mystical Experience

These words were written in prose form by John Blofeld in his book, "Beyond the Gods". It deals with Taoism and Buddhism. I have attempted to re-format the words in poetic form to share with others. Blofeld goes on to say: "Of one thing I am sure - a mystical experience, whether vague or intense, is nothing less than a direct intuition of Ultimate Reality". Several poets, both eastern and western, reflect "mysticism" in their poetry. William Blake is an example. He says: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour."
