Nuwahri61 Poetry (378)

Standing majestic standing proud
The illumenence of your profile standing out aloud

Your mood it changes all the time
With it colours that define

Through the poorest journey you will find
A rich ending an peace of mind

For your ever presence a demanding goal
To appease the depths of a climbers soul

Many have tried an many have died
An everywhere else many have cried

But its the people that satisfy thee
For this is all part of their history

They'll carry your loads with a warm smile
An will keep trudging for mile after mile

Their goals set only on thee
To ensure your part of your history

Everest an the Nepali in unison they go
Wonders of the earth every one should know

Born an bred a country girl from sheepfarmers stock
Your strength of mind an character was never a shock
A sense of humour came with ease , giftwrapped your soul
Accomodated the hurdles , you had in life , as a whole

You raised your siblings through the hardest part of life
Lard an bread their diet , to get you out of strife
An all the time , never mind ,you'd take it on the chin
An i'm sure if you looked hard enough , there was that cheeky grin

As i became a part of your life , as the years moved on
We may have had barriers , but we formed a special bond
Once again you had to care for more than your share
Never once did i ever see or feel the ruffle of your hair

Amazing cook with meals they fed , an sated everytime
Creating eagerness for the ringing bell , around dinnertime
You could here it three blocks away , an strain as you might
You knew it was that time of day , an off you go in full flight

Your garden was your passion , an out of every bloom
Came the beauty of your soul , each petal had entombed
Vivacious colours , all around the house there'd be
Are some of the fondest memories i have of thee

No one knows the battles you fought
With the likes of men an thought
Beautiful woman so distraught
Alas.....No respect

Silky long hair as black as night
Brown eyes oh so bright
5 ft 8 a perfect height
A vision.....I elect

Deeper i look the more i find
Caring spirit with sensitive mind
Can someone be so kind
Hard.....To reject

Fantastic artist in the make
Drawings of breath they take
Finest lines you create
Wondering....I reflect

With you is a piece of you
From skin an flesh when you were due
Joined in unison two
Wishing .....i could resurrect

No one knows the battles you fought
With the likes of men an thought
Beautiful woman so distraught
Alas.....No respect

Boy.....you are getting on the wrong side of me
Too much feedback from your school
Hangin round with that fool
For what .....you think thats cool

Boy.... you are starting to upset me
I am doin every thing i can
You only have to stick to the plan
Dont you wanna be a man

Boy .... you are making me cranky
I am going a bit crazy
When i think how you are lazy
An everything you do is hazy

Boy .... you are makin me wild
When your mouth spits words of fire
An you think that you are higher
But you have no desire

Boy....you are making me take action
I am totally over your attitude
I am totally over you being rude
I am totally over the feud

Boy....you are my flesh an blood
And i'd fight to the death for
But you must learn to heed the law
Otherwise i will show you the door

Boy.... you are only thirteen
An a individual you will be
But still forever apart of a proud me
Five more years is your fee

He'll wait all day for you to come home
Although he'd rather jump the fence an roam
His tail wagging whatever your mood
The door he's at,come on let me in dont be rude

He's keen for a pat an lets you know it
By barging in an wants to show it
Rubbing his frame against your leg
Or sitting there with eyes that beg

If you do not respond to his antic
Its likely he may get frantic
Jump around the house some more
Until you show him you adore

Then he'll sit while you scratch or pat
Even lay down if he's happy with that
But stop to early an you'll see
He's up again bothering thee

He seeks affection everyday
For that my friends is his way
Born into this world a dog to live
With all but unconditional love to give

In certain places you'd be a welcome sight
But lately here you've shown your might
The intensity of your combined forces
Has created liquid highways an changed coarses

Its been 30 odd years since you were around
A very long time with stable ground
Time allows people to forget
The season's ripe it is the wet

Your might has taken many a life
Caused sorrow deep an much strife
Pain inflicted on everyone
For hands tied could only watch on

I give my heart an soul to those who've lost
Family an friends an immeasureable cost
Nature again has created much pain
By delivering this unrelentless rain

There's one thing i've noticed since those days
Is the capacity of people an their ways
Strangers coming from everywhere
To help out to show they care

So when nature wields its mighty sword
Dont ever think you will be ignored
For the defining moments of human nature
Are its caring qualities of insurmountable stature

There once was a time in my past
Where the money i earned seemed to last
I asked the question if i could afford
To sponsor a child overseas abroad

Queries were made an things set in motion
I chose a child from an african nation
A country torn apart by war an poverty
A little bit of help to change his destiny

For a few years i procured the cause
Hoping it would open some doors
Sometimes extra gifts were made
A goat some chickens for eggs to lay

When things in my life turned upside down
I decided with regret to cancel the plan
I often think about that african boy
An hope for a period of time he had some joy

I envision a time when the worlds wealth is shared
Between all the people who need to be cared
Everybody deserves a quality of life
If only to keep them from hungers knife

Listen to the earth for its trying to tell you
There is too much going on
From wars to drillings an pollution abound
It feels every wrong

I am gentle earth an require the touch
Of a very gentle hand
I can provide everything you need
So do not destruct my land

Work with me in harmony an
Treat me like your queen
No disrespect i will accept
For i can be very mean

You pierce my soul with your goal
I no you mean no harm
But one drill to deep one bomb not weak
Its hard for me to stay calm

Reassess your needs for life as
You will soon see
My delicate shell is eroding away
To expose the fierce me

Once my fury has been sought
It will be hard for thee
To live your life as before
A life of beauty wonder an free

The temper of the sea controls his life
His relationship with it is just like a wife
It nurtures an soothes when it needs to be
Or angry an wild to descend on thee

Early he rises before the dawn
To confirm his fate before the morn
The stars are out,the wind is low
He's well prepared its time to go

He eases his boat into the black tea
The ripples reflect the calm of thee
The engines they start with accepted ease
His jacket on so not to freeze

His light bounces off beacons to see
His mind is set in the direction to be
He sets his dash to operation mode
An skippers his boat along the wet road

Using the channel as his watery path
The ocean an swells he meets at last
Splinters of orange pierce the sky
For beyond the horizon the sun does lie

He charts his coarse to hunting ground
As the sun emerges from its worldly round
A smile appears on his face
This is the wife that wears the lace

He spends all day chasing his catch
The ultimate aim to fill his hatch
The suns intensity always rising
Utmost respect is not surprising

Tides they move an winds they change
All apart of the fishermans game
Its time to head in an prepare his catch
Ready himself for the next batch

Although his journey is mostly the same
His love for the ocean is no pain
The individual beauty that he sees everyday
Illuminates his life in every possible way

Two hours run east of the coast
Lies a sacred ground
Enjoyed by most

Here you'll find a myriad of hues
Crystal clear waters
To absolve the blues

Although they run shallow an deep
In amongst it all
Is this amazing reef

Home of many a dazzling creature
The reef by far
Is the outstanding feature

The colours delight when in full bloom
A hidden world
Where there is no gloom

Without its presence
A barren waste would be
An not but a home for anything hence

So if by chance you have the time
Make the effort
When the weather is fine

And thats where you'll discover
An addiction of liesure
The beauty of the reef will make you its lover

Got no time for you lady
Got no space in my heart
There is too much in my history
For anything to start

I will however seek you out
Like so many before
I'd like to love you for the night
Then i'd show you the door

I cant commit to anyone
For reasons i dont know
The door to my heart is shut
An wont allow me to grow

For this an only this
I would just like to say
I seek your forgiveness
In every possible way

If i could go back in time
An change things of past
It would be to open that door
An make my friendships last

But alas in doing so
Would also change me
For its the stepping stones in life
That sets the character to be

Dont put the hammer down on me
Dont put the hammer down on me
You've made a mistake,cant you see
I'm supposed to be free

Dont put those chains on me
Dont put those chains on me
Whe're all the facts to be
I'm supposed to be free

Dont shut the door on me
Dont shut the door on me
This rooms to small for me
I'm supposed to be free

Aint no windows i can see
Aint no windows i can see
Is that where i have to pee
I'm supposed to be free

That bed's no good for me
That bed's no good for me
It will never let sleep be
I'm supposed to be free

Cant eat the food for me
Cant eat the food for me
It goes straight through me
I'm supposed to be free

Who's gonna visit me
Who's goona visit me
Anyone interested in me
I'm supposed to be free

How long will this take me
How long will this take me
3 to 5 an you'll be free
I'm supposed to be free

Should never had pleaded guilty
Should never had pleaded guilty
Its goin to crucify me
I'm supposed to be me
