Back then....
Thinking back to the past years of this journey
Hardships felt like an eternity
So much fear
Panic held the reigns
Everyday scare and pain
Even then I had the hope
Although struggle to see light so dark at night
Fright after fright
Dreams came alive
So glad to feel lighter
I know still a way to go
Trials will commence
But the picture comes together more
The tests and joys make much more sense

Clearer

Inside

Empty forests
Trees so high they reach to the sky
Lush green no one around
Peaceful sound
Burrowing life under crumbled ground
Branches stretch to the next and the next
Touching nature
The forests are never empty
Rooted place
Full
of
connection
Planted face to face

Turadh
Grey gloomy wet and dank
Weathers not many care to thank
It's a day indoors
To explore and ponder more in mind
Thinking about warm summers and blissful days left behind

The day change the mood
How we shift and move with the times
Sometimes in our groove other times stormy climbs
You feel battered as the rain as though nothing will change
Then at a huge surprise the wind and rain give way

Clouds begin to lighten
                             Move across to clear sky

Sun Ray's wide
Warming feeling from outside
Lifting us up within
A toast!
Where to begin...
................

Here's to  Turadh!!

Hope we get our sunny break too!
Thanks for shining your light!  
A break for me and you!

It can't rain

Just another day
Walking home from work today
The van drives past and I see the words it say
Skyline
I look up and around no, nothing obvious
Just blend of grey and white clouds sun obscured
Look back down
Keep walking
Look back up
The sun gleams from behind cloud
Shapes appear
So very bright I probably shouldn't peer
The form of light and cloud makes two wings either side of a
light body
Angelic!
I smile :-)
Then on my way a little while
Song on the headset
Sing of heart beats
Just at my feet a heart shape leaf
I smile again :-)
Walk a while more
The Y keeps appearing in the sky
On the floor
In nature
On van door
Signs from above
Symbols of love
Further down the path a flower
Pink pretty looked out of place looked like it was being presented as a gift
Turn into next street
Shop window a pink flower image with heart inside
Made me overjoyed and feel alive
I smiled
for some time :-D
What's to become of this heart of mine
I was thinking....
as I see a truck up in front with King on trunk
It's all mystic
to me

So I killed them

Cemetery secrets
Teenage years growing up on fears
Escalate when in sorry state drinking down the beers
Playing games in outdoor place
Where the headstones and bodies rest
Came across a name my great nan she has the same
Sorrowful and tired
Lay down on ground of grave
Tears roll from eyes exhausted of faking brave
Telling all my tales
Of how I weep inside
Struggle to immerse and grow with this present life
Never known alive, in spirit connect to thrive
Felt closer to death than those on the outside
Secrets we do tell when push comes to shove
Cathartic to talk
Even if they do not walk above
Though absent still a sense of love
Begin to clean up dirt and pave
Leave with clearer space
Cemetery secrets
Shared
to
the
grave

Sound to silence
Drift away to nothing

Scintilla
The day awakens as a freshly framed canvas
Primed for paint to create
Surface ready for its masterpiece
See what mood it takes
A little dark here
A little light there
Colours blending to one
Bright vivid imagery
Such sights to gaze upon
Creating lines and symmetry
Shapes along the way
A soft stroke here
A deeper brush there
The tools within your hand
A portrait pic or scenic far away land...
You have to ability to make
We are passionate about for which we ache
Add a pinch of magic touch
Starry night to top the day
Don't ask me though
There's only a scintilla of base in this handcrafted display

Blood and memories
Red river flows
from the
bones of the marrow
Transporting of nourishment
to the
cell
Army of the white defenders keeping out bodies that could take over subject an internal hell
If we bleed
we will stand together
as a hardened pack
No further spill of blood
once barricade invaded patch
Keep out the intruders
Protect our quarters
Hold strong
and steady
Remember what it brought us
In blood and memories

Lest we forget

Have to live it
It is hard to find those that understand
They see you but not the inside
Connections are met by the few and not so many face to face
You feel you have to explain yourself
Tiring to do

For all those moments
For all those moments you die a little more inside

It teaches you to live

Vellichor
Oh Vellichor
Why do you leave me
asking for more
Your fragrant perfume fills the air
Filling my lungs with the memories
The stories
Beginnings
Middles
and
Ends

I could breathe you in for a thousand years and still you would have me under your speaking spell

Words fall from context
placed on high
I can feel you in
Learn from meaning
This place you have me binds me
I will never feel alone with the savour
content from your skin

Lions and lovers
Prowling fiercely forward
Emerging from the undergrowth
Prey in sight
Eyes to hunt it down
Want the prize
Take it down
Teeth bite the carcass
Tasty and ripe
We are the hunters that will feast tonight

Nothing left of tonight
Crumbled burning yearning hurting inside
Folding in two
See the feelings devastate
Nothing left of you
Not tonight

You know you've been through this before
You can handle this
Not tonight
But soon
You will see it right

See it through once more

Me and my shadow... . . . .
Dear shadow
You've always stayed close to me
Walking as my shade
As I notice the light
I see you begin
to
fade
Your dark aura
I accept more of
You don't

Connective tissue
Beauty is only skin deep
But the deeper I go the more my skin connects with the tissues that weep
I have been down in the depths
So let me breathe
This form is the only one I encompass in life
The only one I will ever need

Stepping - _. - out
I never could conform
Be the norm
Now my beat makes a rhythm out of time
I want to dance to it
While others flow with theirs
Each stepping out to glide and spin to the flamboyant dance of life

Speak to me
Wether sown or home grown
The whispers linger like a leafy kiss
There's more to life than this

Gothic tale
As he held her in his arms he knew he had her captive by his beguiling charms
His eyes looking deeply into the immeasurable abyss of her soul
So full of life
But at his mercy
He knew she was no stranger to vulnerability
Often too trusting to danger
A innocence that contradicts
Something about her longed for the dark to enter her
Her soul haunted by demons who lusted for her flesh
He was now that demon that could take her at any moment
destroy her in a strike
Her body already appeared lifeless
eyes closed body limp in his grip open to his touch
Skin so delicate pale and tender
Lips red with blood
He wanted to feed from them
To feel from them
To have a taste of love
Taken over by his ravenous nature
He snaps her sharply closer to his body
Leans in glancing at her juicy ripeness
The veins of her neck pulsing
He can hear her heart beating faster
Terrified yet thrilled
Gripping her firmly by the neck
A sharp breathy moan from her lips
Her eyes open to his
Both peering into each other's worlds
A collision of views
A clash that hurtles towards one another at lightening speed
Hungry for her and longing for him
He pulls her nearer still
He moves her face nearer to his
Stroking her blood red lips
A bite to her lips as the tingle dissipates
Breath to breath he can breathe her in
He swallows the air she breathes as his lips press to hers
The firm kiss of life or death
Lips dance as mouths pleasure
He wants her
to live again...

Tonight's screening
Eyes softly flicker to the static dancing show
Drifting of slumber with falling snow
Just been talking to my nana
She was quite cheery in herself
Felt nice to talk again
Although strange at the end it all seemed like a dream
Told me I would have to forget what I'd seen
So I walked away and things disappeared and strong sense of deja vu
I told her before I left though I'd think about her every day and keep her in my heart
She said I hope you do and that was the time we had to part and say adieu
Time did seem to feel a while though
In reality it flew
My nana has unfortunately not been with us in life for eight years now
Those thoughts about her to keep in my heart were certainly well and true
Green Green Grass of Home for the title as I was compelled to, both me and my nana Born in Wales and as things were disappearing the grass was a very distinct bright green hue and that's when I had the deja vu. After I titled and wrote the poem the lyrics not previously consciously aware of have the lines " Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls  that surround me and I realize, yes,  I was only dreaming." :)

Swim to sure
Beauty in natures green
Beauty in the trees
Flowers shape of this world so many secrets unseen
See the magnificent in the many small crawling creature
In others find the good
Multitude of valuable feature
Further and deeper to delve
See a lack at the helm
Driving the vessel to comfortable sea but with no real treasure of abundances
Use to the depths that cruise around not stopping for quality found however do see the joys in what is around
Perhaps a venture out is a must
Bathe in the crystal seas and lap up the waves the tropical plants scent the summers haze as we enjoy the play lain on sandy beach
Have to find the worth of confidence to reach

Past notes
Fours years ago the visions strongly came
After that even my strange past was never the same
Two years ago I was engaged
The family the dream all I held to feel a Queen
I still have the ring and the partner too although now as a friend and housemate
The romance and wants died a death fell flat on its face
When I found love again it stayed with him it never came back to me
Perhaps waiting for it to return
A few years ago I put on weight
I thought it was laziness to be fat what a big mistake
Nothing I did shifted its gain
I never felt pretty I had to delve deeper within to feel a sense of beauty
A bit of a wild edge at times my previous fights repaid by a crime
Beaten up on a street two women compete kicking me in til I can only hold up my feet to keep my vulnerable places intact
I learnt a lot from that
Five years ago trouble through the drink and panic attacks so thrown for night in the clink it's ok the bouncers and police bruises left me with a mark of what they did think
No stranger to physicality in relationships of the old it made me stronger and bold more acclimatised to the odd sticks and stones the words they can live on if you let them take hold
It's ok I know what's been and done and the pain we all go through It helps us grow as people and help those in need too
Peaceful nature can ensue
It will make for a better you
Always colour in the blue
It would be nice to walk at a pleasant stroll
The path didn't travel that way
It went over rocks
So close to cliff edge drops
It went downhill before I could climb back up
To be met with surrender as I was hurtled down a steep decline
The climb back up got harder
I stumbled
It
got dark
Footing kept slipping
Felt I was plummeting into hell
I'm in the moonshine now
Hoping for a little more glow
I know I have faith
I trust the Lord knows where to go
I can only slip as I can handle although it feels at the time you can't go on
I know the days become a little brighter as we learn to sing when in song
The nights are changeable sometimes so cold but you see a little sparkle in the distance
Hope -
It will lead you home
Love is all we need
However love was all I needed and wanted
Still do
It's just my heart has a dull shade around it now
I can see the light in others and I can love them but I can't seem to feel love as strongly as I once did
Once my heart was left and broken by him
It became a kind of dim
Not sure if I'm ment to be loveless or love only as a friendship sense as a I see me in you and you in me never harm another
Not sure if all the love I try to give away is now devoted to him or for the Father and the Mother
Keep some for myself I know that
Just feel set at a distance to feel this flat
Perhaps it's the non attachment which can hold so much suffering severed me from the pain
But the numbness scars me too
Will mutual earthbound love ever feel completely true
Can't seem to fully commit
Even these thoughts are of the past
This poem too seems to lose its grip
A voice in my head says
'This too shall pass'
'Don't hold on
'Let go......

Dream/ Home
A country cottage little cliche winding path
Roses planted in the garden as flowering buds border the home
A place where garden and house combine to grow alongside each other
To be feeling fresh air in both lungs, outside and in
A place to call my own where the wildlife roams willingly and I finally feel free
Maybe adding a little view by the sea :)

Tomorrow is another day
I try to be compassionate but right now I'm not
I know tomorrow you will feel sorry for what you've said and done
I already knew tonight would end this way
I'm just fed up of being hurt by the harsh hateful words you say
I feel the same
I don't feel good in any way
Maybe I need to be better
Jul 2017 · 202
Always at your side
Hold your own sure
But you want someone to hold your hand when you stumble in the dark
Not to pick you up or lead you to the light
Just to be there and understand
At your side
Be it day or night

Owe it to myself
Once hurt by the patronising comments
I now turn the other cheek and smile as I do
It makes me giggle somewhat
For I know how far I've come through
So much more to prove
To myself
Not to you
Or you
Dancing was once devoted to the sun
However when the rain falls drops can wash you numb
So you learn to dance in the damper days
As cooling droplets trickle down your face
You feel the flow from up high place
Wet your lips
Pulsating pleasure
to
taste
Jul 2017 · 192
To life
The future is going to be brighter
The future will be full of synergy
Working together to create a positive
healthy energy
I hope you can come along too
Just believe it to be true
You have the talents and heart
to do what you want to do
May your good thoughts
uplift
and
guide
you
through

Messenger of Music
I fell in love with that music today
It made love to me in every way
Chest pounding
Toes curling
Stomach dropping
Elevated bliss
The music flowed through waves and penetrated at the core
Emotions flew
Tears rolled down face
Angel wings at foot of bed
Took to Angelic resting place
Passion now reinstate
That's how love should feel and taste
Who could ask for more
Morning belongs to the hard physical work
Creativity calls all the day
Nighttime the Angels and ghouls come out
Mystic mayhem at play
I want to feel the love that never dies before I do
To lie down look at the roof and only think of the stars
To talk about the wonders of the world
Ups and downs twisters and hurricane swirls
In summers heat walk on warm sand with bare feet
Hand in hand through any terrain
To feel the love
To understand the pain

page
Blood
dipped ink
Bred from lineage
A curse to some
to reveal so deep
But beauty comes
from souls
willing
to
word
as hearts
poetically
weep
If nature requires another view

                        up again
Climb back

Slide
     back down the pit if that's what it must do

      Will to find way
             - A way to see it through

Grace further ground by path of faithful trust

Once useful aid some structures perish into ruin

        Crumbling fragments
                               Tumble into dust

Changing any form to which is best for you


                   Work up skeleton feeling as you go


          Stretch up high as movement starts to grow

Coiled up snake lying in the bones
