After the disaster
my heartbreaks,
Simply struck
by a swan gliding
over Mirror Lake.
These are moments
I awake!
Surprising me past timeNspace.

About this poem:
The term aesthetic arrest was first used by James Joyce in his book A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The philosopher, historian and theologian Joseph Campbell, also a Joyce scholar, explained aesthetic arrest as,"A simple beholding of the object... you experience a radiance. You are held in aesthetic arrest. This radiance, the perception of beauty, is regarded as a communication of the hidden power behind the world, shining through some physical form."Even When I Sleep
Today I have awaken to another journey and miles to leap
But even when I sleep
I see visions of you in my sleepy eyes
No surprise
we’re caressing, holding, touching, kissing
And what’s missing - is you
Because - you’re not here.
We’re too early in this dream for it to end.
So we move forward with pleasure and then…
We’re awakened by a noise in the night
I'm anxious to get back to sleep
So that I can make this right
I want to continue the sensual play
Because even when I sleep
I want you to stay
As you and I
Laugh, plan and love
It gets deep and nothing stands above
Even when I sleep
I feel you, I smell you, I imagine
What this life could be
Because with this much passion
Even when I sleep
Your’re always – With Me
As I move into the next phase
Even when I sleep
I won't weep, but look forward
to the next time we meet
and the next time I fall asleep
But even when I sleep
I see visions of you in my sleepy eyes
No surprise
we’re caressing, holding, touching, kissing
And what’s missing - is you
Because - you’re not here.
We’re too early in this dream for it to end.
So we move forward with pleasure and then…
We’re awakened by a noise in the night
I'm anxious to get back to sleep
So that I can make this right
I want to continue the sensual play
Because even when I sleep
I want you to stay
As you and I
Laugh, plan and love
It gets deep and nothing stands above
Even when I sleep
I feel you, I smell you, I imagine
What this life could be
Because with this much passion
Even when I sleep
Your’re always – With Me
As I move into the next phase
Even when I sleep
I won't weep, but look forward
to the next time we meet
and the next time I fall asleep

About this poem:
Sometimes you may see someone that you know or even see someone in a dream that you have never met before. As the dream progresses you find that this person is perfect for you. Their touch is so beautiful. The moment is so soft and sensual. Your mind and body explodes with physical and mental attraction. It's almost like love at first sight (only if it weren't a dream).There are times that we are awaken from these sweet dreams and wish we can somehow get back to the moment that we left off at within that dream. We want to get back to that dream to spend more time with that dream-like love that we have never experienced before. In the dream world, everything is possible; so we experience life in a surrealistic fashion - and then we awaken to reality.
This poem is for anyone who strives to fill every loving relationship with the dream-like qualities that you would expect in life and even you sleep
Your Heart
I may not ease
your aching heart ;
or take the pain away!
But the Bible says
there's One who can!
Just believe and
take HIS hand,
He will stand by you
to face the world;
And calm your fears
and make you smile!
He died for you
to set you free,
So take HIM now
for eternity!....
He's every day the same,
Jesus is His name .
He'll forgive your sin
and clean you within !
your aching heart ;
or take the pain away!
But the Bible says
there's One who can!
Just believe and
take HIS hand,
He will stand by you
to face the world;
And calm your fears
and make you smile!
He died for you
to set you free,
So take HIM now
for eternity!....
He's every day the same,
Jesus is His name .
He'll forgive your sin
and clean you within !

About this poem:
Wrote 7 years ago . Just in less than I/2 hourFar From Perfect !
If I boast about my skills,
It's not that I pay my bills.
My flaws are easy to see ,
If you hang around me.
I try to be kind to all,
But my mouth may be my fall.
If you check my under arms ,
You may have some alarms.
I'll have a bath today,
Last one was Wednesday.
But if you check my heart,
You'll have a surprising report.
Some say it's made of gold ,
It's formed by much untold.
Hardship and pain can create,
A lot of sympathy for the lame.
Everyone has their story,
Listen and you may feel sorry.
So if I'm gruff and crude,
It's not because I'm rude.
We are shaped by this world,
And a product of that mold.
Some are proud of being good,
Others just dream of the Could.
I thank God I'm alive today,
His divine protection, I say.
I won't deceive or trick,
But it's hard to be perfect.!
It's not that I pay my bills.
My flaws are easy to see ,
If you hang around me.
I try to be kind to all,
But my mouth may be my fall.
If you check my under arms ,
You may have some alarms.
I'll have a bath today,
Last one was Wednesday.
But if you check my heart,
You'll have a surprising report.
Some say it's made of gold ,
It's formed by much untold.
Hardship and pain can create,
A lot of sympathy for the lame.
Everyone has their story,
Listen and you may feel sorry.
So if I'm gruff and crude,
It's not because I'm rude.
We are shaped by this world,
And a product of that mold.
Some are proud of being good,
Others just dream of the Could.
I thank God I'm alive today,
His divine protection, I say.
I won't deceive or trick,
But it's hard to be perfect.!

About this poem:
written by me ,BinkI'm Cast Down
Look at me , looking all around,
My mind is in a dazed phase;
Unstimulated even by sound,
Like being blind in a Haze.
Nothing seems to give interest,
Like a drunk man with no goal,
Aimless meander with no rest;
Wasting time and rotting soul.
Much waste and unproductivity;
Using time to be useless,
Gradually flowing to insanity,
Everything seem fruitless.
Then a tall man came along,
He looked me strait in the eye.
"What are you doing with yourself?",
Said with a firm but loving voice.
I lifted up my head trying to think,
Said ,"Don't know" in a groan,
"Can I lift you up, O poor soul,
Come with me , to my home!".
I slowly got to my feet ,
What the hill, somebody cares,
Now I can get off this street,
With assistance up the stairs .
I must smell to high heaven,
Not washed near a month ,
Stains ,smudges, sodden,
What a mess , scum of the earth.
"Lets clean up", he said ,
"Leave your clothes by the door,
I'll wash them , you wear a robe,
After showering come and eat."
Cleaned Up, soap and shaved,
Feeling this good , a big change,
Made to feel like a new man,
Think I can break these chains.
"Sit down , here's chicken soup,
And a Grilled cheese sandwich,
I'll make some nice Chai tea!,
I'd like to talk about your life ".
Me too!, thinking such kindness
Given to me in lovingkindness,
Feeling that God is good to me,
An Angel came to set me free.
"What happened to you ? Tell me,
How you got into this state?"
It be six years since being fired ,
Lost all I had , house, wife left.
Got so low ,cant get back up.
It's awfully dark in this rut,
Cant see a light looking ahead,
My feet all stuck in dark mud.
Echo sound, from every turn ;
"Sorry, cant help you !"
So I keep on waiting, looking,
Asking for work that will pay.
My bed on grass or cardboard,
Shiver till morning light.
Dreams of family warm hugs,
Now only ugly world comes.
I know there's a Good God ,
But I don't feel Him around,
Life got so hard on this sod,
Hoping for hope to be found.
Good Sir, Can you give me help,
That I might find something
Good that I can cling to...
(Asking with my desperate heart! ).
"Yes, O Soul." with tear in eye,
"It is love and Hope you seek,
Something that cant evaporate
Like earthly things
that crumble and change
With greed and pride.
I'll point you to the happy Way,
A place that is not easy to go,
But you must sacrifice a lot,
To gain this wonderful abode .
It won't be got with wealth,
A trade deal with commerce,
Or making yourself a good person,
Cause it cant ever be earned!
That's because it is Spiritual,
A Way that is only gotten by few,
Because it is entered by the humble,
The heart that is made anew.
If you want all the hurts and
stains of earth to be gone ,
Even sins that keep your heart
From being free of guilt .
Then you need to turn to the
God of the universe !
He has something good for you,
From the treasures of His purse.
All you need to do is Trust
His plan He made for every man .
But you will need to be Humble and believe ;
The Gift to be received .
God made it by way of His Son ,
who came by promise of His Word ,
Who was born a babe of a Virgin .
Then become the anointed One ,
the Lord !
This Gift comes from heaven,
when the Holy Spirit ,
Causes conviction in the guilty heart,
And you only see the Way of hope ,
Written in His Word .
Yes , that's the Gift ,
The sacrifice that Jesus
Gave on the cruel cross
By shedding His Blood ,
For the remissions of sins!
All you need to do is be
Humble before Him,
And confess your sins,
Asking Him to forgive you.
Then you will escape judgment.
Ask Him to be your Savior,
and He will save you
And make you free.
He is the only one
That can save
And make you free,
And give you a new start
In heaven and this earth too!"
It all made sense to my mind ,
what I'm seeking all the time ,
I'll stop trying
My mind is in a dazed phase;
Unstimulated even by sound,
Like being blind in a Haze.

About this poem:
(*) this is not my experience, ( long ballad)! Poor man's life.. ; It has poor ryhming and meter in places ;
I'll stop trying to fix myself,
And step into a brand new life .
O Jesus, I messed up very badly,
Can you help me in a new start,
Can you forgive a real sinner ,
Im sorry for all the wrong i've done ,
Wash me with your forgiveness,
I'll try to walk a better path ,
Be the man I ought to be ,
Read your Word for direction,
And live in Your Liberty .
this is the finish.

About this poem:
Being this flowGratitude standard
online today!4 SEASONS IN A DAY.....
Frustration while we wait the seasonal change
From winter bleak to a spring sunnier range
Maybe we're fed up, of dressing for the rain
Or wind and chill, and hair we need to tame
At least in northern New Zealand, never snow
Though feeling cold, with cheeks more a glow
Not from humidity and sunshine, buffered wind
Blue not rosy, body and bones feel tinged
Four seasons, can be mixed into one day
Take off and add layers, keep colds at bay
Dreaming of the sunshine, know it's real
When happily extra clothes, you can peel
The grass is always greener, we know its true
Wanting what we can't have, does see us through
Till the season we love, shakes our senses alive
Dare we moan about it later, humidity over rides
Impatience, I admit I want the season to rush
Spring seems so slow, and still rain will gush
But days get longer, and earth starts to wake
Grateful for every sunny day, as summer breaks.....
From winter bleak to a spring sunnier range
Maybe we're fed up, of dressing for the rain
Or wind and chill, and hair we need to tame
At least in northern New Zealand, never snow
Though feeling cold, with cheeks more a glow
Not from humidity and sunshine, buffered wind
Blue not rosy, body and bones feel tinged
Four seasons, can be mixed into one day
Take off and add layers, keep colds at bay
Dreaming of the sunshine, know it's real
When happily extra clothes, you can peel
The grass is always greener, we know its true
Wanting what we can't have, does see us through
Till the season we love, shakes our senses alive
Dare we moan about it later, humidity over rides
Impatience, I admit I want the season to rush
Spring seems so slow, and still rain will gush
But days get longer, and earth starts to wake
Grateful for every sunny day, as summer breaks.....

About this poem:
just me being impatient......and NZ has such a mild and short winter......compared with the UK where I was born......WHO ARE YOU?
Who are you,
to occupy my thoughts so quickly?
Why do I,
feel I already know you?
My thoughts are,
full of endless possibilities.
I worry about,
the suddenness of my wanting.
Whirlwinds and hurricanes,
Soft breezes by comparison
Who are you,
to blindside me so completely?
Why do I,
feel that I've so much to show you?
My thoughts are,
full of new old emotions.
I worry about,
the all things I could mess up.
It feels so dream like,
but I don’t want to wake up.
to occupy my thoughts so quickly?
Why do I,
feel I already know you?
My thoughts are,
full of endless possibilities.
I worry about,
the suddenness of my wanting.
Whirlwinds and hurricanes,
Soft breezes by comparison
Who are you,
to blindside me so completely?
Why do I,
feel that I've so much to show you?
My thoughts are,
full of new old emotions.
I worry about,
the all things I could mess up.
It feels so dream like,
but I don’t want to wake up.
