A Garden ...
Must I tell you
How to love me
Listen and I will
To the utmost degree
Passion so very
Deep and intense
Love me until
Nothing makes sense
Mind focused on
What we need
I am a garden
Plant your seed
How to love me
Listen and I will
To the utmost degree
Passion so very
Deep and intense
Love me until
Nothing makes sense
Mind focused on
What we need
I am a garden
Plant your seed

About this poem:
A thought ...Hallway ...
I was walking down a hall
There was carpet wall to wall ...
It was rather dark and dim
I was feeling uneasy and grim ...
The hall was long like a maze
It became darker; air like haze ...
Round the corner came a shadow of a trace
A figure of a man who shot me in the face ...
There was carpet wall to wall ...
It was rather dark and dim
I was feeling uneasy and grim ...
The hall was long like a maze
It became darker; air like haze ...
Round the corner came a shadow of a trace
A figure of a man who shot me in the face ...

About this poem:
A Dream ...
No Peace
"Let's lock them up, let them kill themselves.
Let's beat them up, soon enough they'll kill themselves..."
This story's getting old, right?
200 years old, right?
Down in New South Wales,
this white Australian lady.
Takes a swing over nothing,
and without retaliating.
The aboriginal girl hits the ground,
lands there with a thud.
The police had suddenly taken her down,
then slammed on the cuffs.
Took her from there into lock-up
and put her into a room.
In this particular room the camera's were off,
the police surrounded her like fire fumes.
And very much like a pack of dingoes,
they went in for the attack.
Now this Aboriginal girl is consumed by hate,
her whole world is now turned black.
A mother looked for a job,
but was so often knocked back.
"We see you're Aboriginal
and there's a problem with that."
You see, we've had trouble with your kind before,
and so we are not employing.
But just so you know that's the only reason,
so good luck with your job searching!"
Thus, from generation to generation,
the hate spreads on.
And the government asks for acceptance,
from people who are done.
People who find it hard when from young they are pinned,
as a, "you never will amount to be anything."
People who find it hard when they're told that their dreams,
may mean something but aren't good for a damned thing.
White Australian father getting blamed,
for racism he has never displayed.
For assumed prejudice he never did say,
his love for all peoples now mucked and splayed.
"I have 2 aboriginal children and would never say that!,
that you're just another useless black.
Good for nothing but making babies and spat."
the last thing he said before he got smacked.
He was only ever proud and tried to mingle,
with those he thought of as his country's men.
Faith now lost because he was singled,
his heart filled with hate and all he condemns.
"Once upon a time I would have been your friend",
a white Australian mother says, "but no more."
"I can't take the chance that I may offend,
you see, I've had trouble with your kind before."
Thus, from generation to generation,
the hate spreads on.
And the government asks for acceptance,
from people who are done.
People who find it hard when they are already pinned,
as invaders who don't care for anything.
People whose ancestor's stories are so old,
"...it means nothing in this country that's not yours!", they're told.
Alcohol, drugs, minds breaking down,
fewer care to make a sound.
The next generation will soon find what is always found,
"Shh. Australia doesn't want you to make a sound!"
Unfortunate for those who are not racist as such,
there's so many who are, that this country's stuffed.
Not 200 years ago, not yesteryear,
No, not last night, but today, enough!
Misunderstandings will not bring peace,
undue blame does not bring peace.
Mistreatment will never make any peace,
hate does surely afford no peace.
Let's beat them up, soon enough they'll kill themselves..."

About this poem:
Something I began writing last year but as I tend to do, I got side-tracked and didn't finish. It is now done.Written with no offence to anyone and if you have taken offence, chances are you've missed the point.
Everything
Everything was written
Before we were born
Your smile and your lyric
My future and yours.
Everything is guided
Like waves in the sea
For us to be happy
For us to be free.
Everything is magic
The sky and the sun
Everything is perfect
The tears and the fun.
Everything is possible
So love has to be
For ever and ever
Between you and me.
Before we were born

Everything is guided
Like waves in the sea

For us to be free.
Everything is magic
The sky and the sun
Everything is perfect
The tears and the fun.
Everything is possible
So love has to be
For ever and ever
Between you and me.

About this poem:
I just wrote this little poem I was inspired and it came to mi mind. Sometimes we forget that life was created to be happy and we lost freshness and hopes but everything is there.
~ The Need of You ~
~ The Need of you ~
I have the need of you in everyway
I have this burning passionate desire for you
To hear your voice that you want me
too, this very day!
The want of you, your feel of nearness too
It’s what I thrive on ~ I need the very touch of you
The thrill of holding you so ever close
It’s what I want, the very most
You in my arms this very day
To feel your love in everyway
When I look into your wondrous eyes
It’s like opening a delightful heavenly prize
Oh! Come to me my love
I have the need for Heaven above
It’s you that makes my special day
I need your love in everyway
Cuddle up to me in my arms
I want to feel the wonder of your enchanting charms
Kiss me darling I want your loving lips
I need their nectar to drink and sip
Give to me your loving arms
Wrap them around me with all your charms
Come to me in everyway, give yourself to me
It’s for what I pray
Oh please tell me that you care
Hold me tight and give me your love to share!
Do you have a need ~ could it be me?
Hold me darling and we will see!

About this poem:
Could it be you?
I cry
Sometimes I wanna find release
At times I wanna shout
Inside I'm crying all the time
I want to let it out
I cry at what the world's become
I cry because it's bad
I cry because what could be good
It's what we wish we had
I cry at all the loss of life
I cry, it makes no sense
I cry for all the children
Wasted lives, the innocence
I cry because I feel depressed
I cry as I'm alone
I cry while talking to myself
While in an empty home
I cry because it gives relief
I cry to let it go
I cry to show I really care
For what, we all should know
At times I wanna shout
Inside I'm crying all the time
I want to let it out
I cry at what the world's become
I cry because it's bad
I cry because what could be good
It's what we wish we had
I cry at all the loss of life
I cry, it makes no sense
I cry for all the children
Wasted lives, the innocence
I cry because I feel depressed
I cry as I'm alone
I cry while talking to myself
While in an empty home
I cry because it gives relief
I cry to let it go
I cry to show I really care
For what, we all should know

We dial the numbers
The phone on the other end dose not ring
We shout out aloud
Our voices like whispers fall on deaf ears
We are vulnerable and alone
Isolated by our thoughts and our fears
We feel we have no other options
We go through the list
Pull the trigger of the gun
Empty the contents of prescription bottle all in one
The slash of the wrist
To jump with a rope around our neck
So, we fall prey to the hangman’s fatal twist
Maybe we will step out in front of a bus or car
Or the express train we see coming from afar
We dial the number but hands do not move
We shout out but we are alone so our words remain unspoken
We have carried this thought for so long
We believe we are broken
Now some one must find us
The news they must share
For ever haunted by the memories
Of the lifeless body, they found lying there
The clay on the coffin
The spark of the flame
This does nothing to stop our loved one’s self-blame
We don’t hear the cry’s
The whispered I love you
The wondering why
We don’t see the impact on lives
How are loved ones this date is now set to one side
On this date for the rest of their lives
They will always remember the suicide
The phone on the other end dose not ring
We shout out aloud
Our voices like whispers fall on deaf ears
We are vulnerable and alone
Isolated by our thoughts and our fears
We feel we have no other options
We go through the list
Pull the trigger of the gun
Empty the contents of prescription bottle all in one
The slash of the wrist
To jump with a rope around our neck
So, we fall prey to the hangman’s fatal twist
Maybe we will step out in front of a bus or car
Or the express train we see coming from afar
We dial the number but hands do not move
We shout out but we are alone so our words remain unspoken
We have carried this thought for so long
We believe we are broken
Now some one must find us
The news they must share
For ever haunted by the memories
Of the lifeless body, they found lying there
The clay on the coffin
The spark of the flame
This does nothing to stop our loved one’s self-blame
We don’t hear the cry’s
The whispered I love you
The wondering why
We don’t see the impact on lives
How are loved ones this date is now set to one side
On this date for the rest of their lives
They will always remember the suicide

About this poem:
This is a poetical stand for those people who have taken their own lives in Ireland this year. If Ireland’s suicide rate keeps going at the same pace. Ireland will lose over 2000 people by the end of the year. Please don’t let happen. Make our government stand up and take notice of this epidemic before it is too late.
My Star
If a star was you and I was the night,
I would think it day for you shine so bright,
My heart is yours, so to my mind, body and soul,
My feelings for you shall never grow old,
For but a minute, I wish to hold you near,
Wrap you in my arms and take away any fear,
For you are my life, you are my essence,
I only exist when I am within your presence.
I would think it day for you shine so bright,
My heart is yours, so to my mind, body and soul,
My feelings for you shall never grow old,
For but a minute, I wish to hold you near,
Wrap you in my arms and take away any fear,
For you are my life, you are my essence,
I only exist when I am within your presence.

About this poem:
Awwwe ..... That again is what I would want to say to my seetheartFRIENDSHIPS
Friendships cannot be measured
in time or space
nor can be broken
in life's fast pace
Crossing angry waves
or basking in the sun
Sweet friendships
can never be undone
Crossing cultures and colors
sweet minds will meet
Like earth's gravity
or a magnet must meet
true friendships, unlike
friendly passing ships
Will stay in memories
in a beautiful peaceful place
in time or space
nor can be broken
in life's fast pace
Crossing angry waves
or basking in the sun
Sweet friendships
can never be undone
Crossing cultures and colors
sweet minds will meet
Like earth's gravity
or a magnet must meet
true friendships, unlike
friendly passing ships
Will stay in memories
in a beautiful peaceful place

For within the song
Our heartbeats
Sing together
We know
That all
Illusion fall
And in the love
Our souls
Will be
Together
We know
That only truth
Will last forever
And songs we sing
The dreams we share
The nights so deep
The days we share
No claim
No tag
Is on our love
It just is free
Like as above
And in the silent flame within
Together see
Anew begin
When more is more
And less is less
No need to stand
In mist and guess
The rains will kiss you
Rivers run
The inner journey
Wheels has spun
So open for that heartsong up
And whether full or empty cup
For all endeavour
Find your Grace
And shine that light
From out your face
For love will be us
Be the day
And right is here
With us to stay
The ocean waves
Together roar
Come let our souls
To heavens soar
If I am you
And you are me
Within the dance
Eternal free
What we not know
Our steps will seek
The valley deep
The mountain peak
The golden string
From heart to heart
Was there before
Of any start
So have the faith
To love yourself
For never dry
The inner well
Life lives in you
And you are free
With truth to flow
In love to be
The real in you
Behind the words
Just waking now
With song of birds
Our heartbeats
Sing together
We know
That all
Illusion fall
And in the love
Our souls
Will be
Together
We know
That only truth
Will last forever
And songs we sing
The dreams we share
The nights so deep
The days we share
No claim
No tag
Is on our love
It just is free
Like as above
And in the silent flame within
Together see
Anew begin
When more is more
And less is less
No need to stand
In mist and guess
The rains will kiss you
Rivers run
The inner journey
Wheels has spun
So open for that heartsong up
And whether full or empty cup
For all endeavour
Find your Grace
And shine that light
From out your face
For love will be us
Be the day
And right is here
With us to stay
The ocean waves
Together roar
Come let our souls
To heavens soar
If I am you
And you are me
Within the dance
Eternal free
What we not know
Our steps will seek
The valley deep
The mountain peak
The golden string
From heart to heart
Was there before
Of any start
So have the faith
To love yourself
For never dry
The inner well
Life lives in you
And you are free
With truth to flow
In love to be
The real in you
Behind the words
Just waking now
With song of birds
