Just A Thought
What does 2014 have in store for me ?
I am in love with a dream.
A dream to find my soul mate
Freedom to search but is it too late.
I turn to the Internet to find that certain one
I have been searching in my country but found none.
I look to places I have never been
I email people I have never seen.
I see there is chat, this I have not attempted

People are chatting; by me they are not tempted.
So I am a silent voice who is never seen
I am hidden behind a computer screen.
My pictures show a smile as you see
There is more to me than on this screen.
Friendship is a beautiful start
Relationship is a beautiful end.
Just knowing my friends are there
At this moment in time is enough.
There may not be time to change my life.
Or meet the women to become a wife
Until then let me be a Ray of sunshine in your life.
Have a wonderful 2014 my beautiful friends.

Reflection
Each night I walked by the sea.
Many people also walked but not with me.
He sat alone a young man.
Who looked at nothing but the sea.
He looked so sad, I began to wonder why.
What problems were going on in his head?
I wanted to stop and ask if I could help.
My legs would not stop, I walked on by instead.
Each night I walked this path by the sea.
Each night I saw this lonely figure but he did not see me.
Was he alone by choice or did circumstances dictate?
Had he lost the love of his life?
Maybe this love was already his wife.
Or some one he hoped would some day be his wife.
Loneliness is a state of the mind.
It is hard for the body to hide these feelings.
It is a time in ones life when all seems lost.
Your life and world has no meaning.
I related to this young man with strong feelings.
This path I had been many times before.
I had sat with my thoughts looking at the sea.
My eyes fixed on the distant shore.
Would I have let a stranger into my world of sorrow?
I do not think so, not today, maybe tomorrow.
Tomorrow is here, I did not talk to this young man.
Who looked at nothing but the sea.
I now know I could not face the sorrow.
I looked at the water to see a reflection.
Of this young man that looked at the sea.
The only reflection I saw was a reflection of me.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE PHOTO DID NOT LIE.
IN THIS AGE OF TECHNOLOGY THIS IT SELF HAS BECOME A LIE.
I LOOK AT MY PHOTO IN THE PC; I DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE STAR I WANT TO BE.
I MUST ALTER MY FACE TO REMOVE THE SCAR.TO MAKE THIS IMAGE LOOK LIKE A STAR
THE WRINKLES ARE MANY, IT LOOKS AS IF MANY PEOPLE HAVE LIVED IN THIS OLD HOUSE.
THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM; I CAN REMOVE ALL WITH THE CLICK OF A MOUSE.
MY HEAD IS BOLD BUT WITH ONE CLICK I CAN PUT ON A HAT.
MY BODY IS THIN NO MORE, CLICK I AM NOW FAT.

MY HAIR IS NONE BUT I HAVE MY FRIEND THE MOUSE, IT IS NOW BLACK.
TO SHOW MY BLACK HAIR I CAN REMOVE THE HAT.
I LOOK AT THE PHOTO IN THE PC.I AM NOW THE STAR I WANTED TO BE.
THEN I LOOK TO THE MIRROR ON THE BATHROOM WALL, DISMAY IT IS STILL THE OLD ME.

I PREFER THE IMAGE ON THE PC THIS PERSON I WOULD LIKE TO BE.
MY TEETH ARE STRAIGHT AND WHITE MY HAIR A SHINNING BLACK.
I CAN SEND THIS NEW IMAGE OF ME TO PEOPLE THROUGH MY PC.
NO ONE OUT THERE WILL EVER KNOW IT IS NOT THE TRUE ME.

YOU CAN BE WHAT EVER YOU WISH TO BE WITH A CAMERA AND A PC
MY EYES WERE BLUE BUT NOW ARE GREEN, WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY.

SOME OF THE AREAS ARE WRINKLED AND SOME ARE CREASED,
I AM STILL ALIVE AND KICKING, IT IS NOT AS IF I AM DECEASED,

I AM NO STRANGER TO ASK FOR HELP FROM OUT OF THE SKY,
THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS GOING AROUND AND AROUND.
THE QUESTION IS “WHY”

LEND ME YOUR EAR, TAKE TIME OUT TO LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY,
I HAVE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE THAT COULD COME YOUR WAY,

You have the choice to stand and stare or listen to your heart and make that start.
I hear the beat of the drum, which in turn accelerates the beat of my heart

The rush of adrenalin flows through me sending messages to my body and soul.
The message is clear do not stand and stare move your body in tune with your soul

You cannot measure my soul or spirit you can only feel the energy it generates.
I send this energy to you, if you have not made the start and listened to your heart.

Energy is generated by your positive thoughts and the chance.
Your chance to choose in this confusion of life.

I choose the chance to dance.

I AM ALONE AND YET I AM NOT BY MYSELF,
MANY REACH OUT IN SEARCH OF WEALTH,

IT IS NOT FINANCIAL THE WEALTH WE SEEK,
BUT LOVE TO SHARE BY THE HOUR THE DAY THE WEEK.

I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE THE RAMPAGE OF TIME AND TIDE,
LOOK INTO MY EYES TO SEE THE YOUTH THAT IS STILL INSIDE,

LOOK AT MY BODY YOU WILL SEE THE SIGN OF AGE,
BECAUSE OF THIS MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH SORROW AND RAGE.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN NOW THAT I FEEL AT MY BEST,
THE KNOWLEDGE HAS FILLED MY LIFE FULL OF YEAST,

KNOW ME, SEE ME FOR WHO I AM NOT WHAT I HAVE BECOME,
I DO NOT WISH TO BE LOVED BY ALL, MAYBE BY ONE.

SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE, TO RECEIVE FROM DEEP WITHIN,
TRY AS I MAY I CAN NOT STOP THIS THING CALLED TIME,

I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO GO FORWARD IN MY DIRECTION,
THE TEST THAT HE HAS SET ME HAS DIVIDED MY LIFE INTO SECTIONS

CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE, I AM GUIDED BY THE PLIGHT OF OTHERS,
BE IT BY LOVE HATE COMPASSION OR AFFECTION,

UNSTEADY, TO THE RIGHT, TO THE LEFT, WHAT DIRECTION?
THE VOICE IN MY HEAD IS MINE AND IS FROM THE PAST,

TO OVERCOME THE PAST HAS MEANT DRAWBACKS AND GAINS,
BUT THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD STILL LINGERS AND REMAINS,
