Space and Grace

Don’t complain to me about life
If things were always that easy
Everything would be great

The sun and moon still rise
To a place where they feel safe
Can we all agree about that

The water is too hot or too cold
Whenever I need go for a swim
So I must somehow just adapt

Nothing else comes that close
To the warmth of your embrace
Freedom only love were the case

I am so sick of this life’s stress
Where I can sadly find no rest
Do I really know what’s best

Peace and tranquility do exist
If we slow down our hectic pace
And find some space and grace

Love from within the heart

Your eyes know that I have waited so long, as I have waited for summer for a bird, and slept like the sleep of a migrant.

FRIENDS

The term 'Friend' recklessly used no doubt
call one 'friend' you know NOTHING about
True Blue Friends extremely rare if not extinct
agree or don't just wanna make you think

Not shocked that most possess gullible mentality
believing you have many friends isn't reality
Acquaintances or buddies much more reasonable
perpetual jealousy makes true friends less feasible

A morally defunct world negates trusting completely
BEST FRIENDS deceive you more discreetly
many so-called 'friends' are cunningly malicious
don't be blind there's reason to be suspicious

Two-Faced 'friends' are part of your everyday
that's a sad fact I can definitively convey
Vast experience validates my every word
truly clueless if you dismiss this as absurd

Witnessing "friends" stab "friends" sickens me
'friend' requires absolute 'trust' that can't be
When told "My Best Friend" did me wrong
I grin knowing it would happen all along

Hugs

Can I just hug the world please?

Some days the world hands you a slice of magic, and if nothing else comes from that it's okay.

To be able to hold onto that for a moment is worth it.

Just a Face.

A photo, just a random photo, nothing but a face, an image of a stranger.

Or so it should be, but, why do you feel like He holds the key to who you are meant to be?

How can you explain the feeling that you know the feel, smell and taste of Him already?

His words wrapped around your body and soul in the most beautiful embrace.

Eye's that you understand have seen so much more than they needed to in this world.

You have had your Reason, your season, could you find your lifetime in This Man?

About this poem:
My Mom always said when my Dad came to the door to see her father for the first time, she took one look at Him and said "He's mine" she was 17 and he was 27 .
Theirs was a beautiful love story, he died at 45 in the war and she at 78 still loves Him with her Whole Heart.

Maybe that's my problem I can't settle for less.

Am ever the romantic and believe in the fairytale.

CLIMBING UPWARDS

We are not all chosen
To attain the heights;
To gain our cherished hopes.

Some must remain
To struggle on along
Life's slippery slopes;

To fall,
And rise,
And say,
' We'll try again'.


TRAVELLING LIGHT

Travel light, don't let your cares
Become a heavy load.

Travel light, not overburdened
As you walk life's road.

Travel light, take nothing with you
Save a loving friend.

Travel light,enjoy the journey
To the very end.!

The bravest animal in the land

The bravest animal in the land is the Clover's Summoned Badger. He's just so grand
Cute and cuddly, made of all love, has very a strange obsession for having more than just one olive
He's the hero of Cordor's teaming throngs,
who tell tales of how he's righted wrongs

Now naughty, naughty drow on the make, kept the cityfolk folk awake
In fear and trembling every night
The naughty, naughty drow were the cities blight
Then one eve of darkest Moon,
A very big house went up boom
"My manor!", cried Lord Rivindor, " that happened how? "
Then Summoned badger started spitting bitsa naughty, naughty drow

When he saw his house lying flat he said "we cant let the blighters get away with that"
"I will be avenged there must be a way"
"To find those naughty, naughty drow and make them pay"
Said Min with a smile, "Have no fear!",
"Summoned badger and I will volunteer!"

Summoned badger led them all under ground, to where sneaky naughty, drow could be found,
They spied a rock and behind did hide,
waiting for the naughty, naughty drow to stroll by.
And soon along the trial did come,
two giggling naughty, naughty drow gloating over what they'd done

Then Noble Summoned Badger, stout of heart, Leaped out at the naughty drow, he gave them quite a start.
he bit them and he chomped them with sharp Summoned Badger teeth
He showed no quarter, he gave then no relief
I wont tell you what he did to them, for I must confess
very angry Summoned badgers tend to make a mess,

Back to the surface they did make their way, led by Summoned Badger, the hero of the day
"Hurrah! Huzzah!" Lord Rivindor cheered "my house has been avenged!"
"Against the naughty, naughty drow, I now have had revenge"
"How ever can I thank you? I know! my gold you can have all of."
"I'll take the coin", Min slyly smiled, "Summoned Badger just wants the olives"

The bravest animal in the land is the Clover's Summoned Badger. He's just so grand
Cute and cuddly, made of all love, has very a strange obsession for having more than just one olive
He's the hero of Cordor's teaming throngs,
who tell tales of how he's righted wrongs

A rolling Reverend

To reclaim God under a deep black sky
in these times the heavens may shake
keep one hand on the wheel
the other on the crucifix brother
a rolling Reverend
into the night we drive
sing, sing Hallelujah
to all the earthly creatures
camped under a full moon
O be wise and watchful
the Devil may take his care here
yes he may loiter in these dark lands
but freeze him out my brothers
like the church on a hill
be steadfast and true
and not bent and deceived
yes we go down into the lands
of the downtrodden and repentant
to bring the light
bring the light
bring the light

Fuming Scales

Dragon fire casting spells,
Piercing fumes, a haze compels,
Toxic breath, it's hard to breathe,
Fiery wings set free.

Unleashing fury of the flame,
From ember to inferno it came,
A dragon's rage, a sight to fear,
Its fuming scales, all too clear.

A beast so mighty, free to roam,
In darkness, it calls home,
Its power knows no bounds,
And with a breath, all falls down.

Fuming scales, sharp as knives,
With roaring bellows, it thrives,
A predator, a primal force,
A dragon's power has no remorse

Dreaming in Silence

I had a dream, a beautiful melody
But now it's gone, just a distant memory
It filled my soul, gave me wings to fly
But now the silence, just echoes in my mind

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

I close my eyes, try to picture the scene
I see the stage, I feel the madolin in between
My fingers move, I feel the music flow
I hear the crowd, as the rhythm starts to grow

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

Oh, why did it have to end this way?
Why did the music have to fade away?
I'll keep dreaming, and someday I will Find
The melody will return, The music in my mind

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

I'll keep searching, for that lost tune
I won't give up, I'll count every moon
I'll find the rhythm, and let it flow
The music will return, and my soul will know.
