Who will follow on from one who ******  the diamond and the dollar, who will seek the holy grail until the end of a tomorrow, who will fall with failing eyesight never seeing his Nirvana, will the mountain and Mohammed come to some form of agreement?

she sent me unsigned colour postcards from a place called Alicante
and I never knew her name or who it was that she was meant to be,
but the scenery was perfect and the beaches were all pristine and the ocean was a mirror reflecting things I wish I could have seen

and when you think you're being saved
you know the saviour cannot see you
because the harbour lights will blind him
and when you find it hard to find him in
the shadows that are broken in the waves of
voices breaking on the pristine beaches
faking it,
you know that it is taking you away.

Hold my hand
Tight enough to hurt.
Dig your nails in
As hard as you can
To keep me grounded here.
I’m begging you not to let me go.
Just look at me like you might love me
And I’ll imagine the rest
Because that’s all I know.
Hold me close,
As tight as you can,
Tight enough so I can’t breathe.
Hold me there like you can keep me safe
And I’ll imagine that you care enough to try.
Take a step beside me
Then take a thousand more
Walk the world with me
A lifetime at my side
And don’t stop until I do

skye
going home isn’t always
returning to a place.
sometimes
it is returning to yourself.

Eyes are the window to the soul,

But what if,

You don't have one of those?

Bad memory

Let go
she sits on the floor
crosslegged
trying to calm
her mind
as she cannot decide
whether she really
is a poet
or just imagining
to be a poet
You can second guess decisions
Stew over your plight
Hear but never listen
To what others have in mind

Let it get the best of you
Not watch where your heart steers
Only see what's behind you
Wasted days and missing years

Do not make the best of it
No matter circumstance
If what first comes to mind is quit
You will never learn to dance

Only sip the negative
Listen but do not hear
Share in life but never live
Wasted days and missing years

Never see the joy in life
Or find time to right the wrongs
No concern where your mind dines
You'll never learn the song

Only look down, never up
Where the way is way more clear
Before you start you call it done
Wasted days and missing years
WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD IS A PICTURE THAT INSPIRES MOVEMENT AND SPEED WITH DESTINATION UNKNOWN AND SUGGESTIONS WELCOME.
THE MIND NOW ROAMING FREELY TO AN IMAGINARY LAND.
THE SCENT OF A FLOWER OR PERFUME CAN TRANSPORT US INTO A PAST MEMORY TO A SPECIFIC TIME, PLACE AND EVENT.
THE FLAVOR OF A SPECIFIC FOOD WILL IN THE SAME MANNER PROJECT US BACK IN TIME SAVOURING AGAIN THAT DELIGHTFUL MORSEL.
MUSIC IS ANOTHER TIME TRAVEL CONDUCTOR WHETHER LISTENING TO A MELODY, THUNDER OR SIMPLE RAINDROPS, ITS VIBRATIONS ARE A MOST POWERFUL VEHICLE.
TOUCH AS A TRANSFER OF ENERGY CAN BE MOST SOOTHING AND HEALING, TENDER AND SENSUAL, A MEANS OF IDENTIFYING MATTER AND DISCERNMENT MOST ESSENTIAL IN OUR DAILY LIVES.
HUMANS ARE ENDOWED WITH  AWSOME POWERS BUT AWARENESS OF THEM IS VITAL AND WISDOM TO APPLY THEM IN A PROFITABLE WAY IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.

Not very pretty

Such a pretty city

18th century London
Women very witty
