Long has life been with its twists and turns
Sitting by a camp fire under starry skies dark blue
Watching flames as they perform a dance of life
And thinking back so far upon a life lived he knew
Asked by young companion of things now gone by
Tipping his old hat thinks of a life almost won
Grunts and softly answers in his own simplicity
Well .. the reality of it all explained this way son
If all life in reality was a Kangaroo one could say
Upon its rear end somewhere would living its destiny
Would be positioned the whole human race I feel
Existing back there no different than a flea
As life is always a hop in front of us all
Though we dare think as a race we are in control
We never come to know what its really all about
Not until if then when we grow so very very old.
Only getting older having been bolder her head my shoulder
Does one only know then how to treat an angel divine
Loving her as if theres no tomorrow ever going to come
Until the sun turns up my friend until then your mine
Age and experience speaks with knowing and completeness
But you'll not realize this until you do grow old
But she will even being younger find honesty and reality
And feelings that existed Only known by the aged soul
However never look for it for it knows well of perfect time
When only it feels she and you then should know
Of the once in a life time its now or never to be
Both becoming unknowing the very day and night of rhyme
He pushed his hat back some leaning on old camp drum
Life has its lows many and with any luck a high
Which becomes a memory one remembers till end
And a lone crow slowly again crosses lifes sky

THAT OLD PINE
A forest almost full of younger pines
And just up the way stood older tree
Had been there for such a longest time
And the pine cutters they just let it be

Taller stronger wider with endless cones
Had seen many a pine season come and go
Nature had given it the power to survive
The hottest days the rains and the snow

That forest area was called lone pine hill
If only this giant could ever in life talk
Many had chosen that area lone pine hill
Since they first met years ago to walk

Experience resistence patients knowing
It stood upon this hill of pines and grace
Many now with family they often went
And sat under its peaceful lone pine space

One could see it from mountain ever near
Over valley and across the forests near by
From a lookout that was simply miles away
As it kept company with cloud up in the sky

Generations were told of it being long ago
And it stood still proud and tall does today
Eagles nested in it every year to raise young
And every year they grew and flew away

Friends they come and go and they fade
Like natures seasons in life made
So many an opinion many a grade
Best being yourself a ***** a *****
Socially religiously politically as well
Endless vines in life's jungle rings a bell
Some hear say nothing others they tell
From earths mountains to lower the dell
The best friend one has is mostly you
One can never lie to ones self it's true
Many know or not say that they knew
All as different as insects life on through
Best not to follow to hell with the mutitude
You know you've been dealt good to crude
That many couldn't handle honest to rude
Life it has so many most a different brood
They think they know you know they do not
Never will they and in life there's woe forgot
If you told them still worse would be their lot
In the veins of life is always found a silent clot
But being one's self and caring each day less
Of a world full of human created absolute mess
Never are they to say helped make it or confess
The only rule lives since the very days of old
All one can be and do is to be within a good soul
What others think is not really worth a solitary dime
As positive as able your walk in life through time
Live for today and to hell with anything that's divine
Give but keep some for you as you walk life's line
Forget donating the wealthy they can afford that
That how come they'er wealthy they'd steal your hat
Be proud of where you are life It's your ball and bat
Forget forgiving those who don't wipe feet on your mat
They all good to bad rich to poor know right and wrong
Their choices and your choices it's a life long song
Wisdom doesn't patronize us it's us to learn life long
Walk to your own drum and keep your rhythm true  
Before any in life come what may be proud of you
Don't worship anyone but parents all life through
Think carefully before anything that you may do

WALKING THROUGH AN AGED HOSPITAL

I was on my way from one place to another
Within an aged hopital one day
And as I did I could not but hear
Will someone give me anything to take the pain away

I turned I looked and saw a once dedicated mother
Who had raised a family now just dumped in here
I walked over to her took her head in my hands
And kissed her as she'd not been for many a year

The look of pain vanished and replaced by a smile
Saying softly oh I've not been kissed like that
Looking into my eyes whispered anther please
Of such I can not within remember or I'll eat my hat

I kissed her once again as this angel earned the right
To be appreciated for all she'd done for home family
She lay back with a smile closed her eyes gently
The pains all gone now dear one how I thank thee

On the way back her bed was empty i asked how come
They said she just passed away smiling ever so
They don't have drugs that can do that anymore
Walking away with tears in eyes and no pain to go

It's really a shame nobody to blame
But not being able to add a pic to explain
A write a poem upon this site HelloPoetry
Mostly why I use www.etastic a lot again

If that was possible it would be grand
Many would know why you say what you say
But I've looked and tried to find a .immage transfer
But no luck so far as it goes without cost upon this day ..

NATURAL INNER BEAUTY
If ladies forgot about all that makup
Lipsticks and all the rest
When Im walking down the street
I can tell you which ones look the best
When a womans got inner charisma
And inner beauty ever so
All shes got to do is smile
And all hearts around they glow
When a womans got natural inner beauty
She dont need makeup at all
She takes care of herself , hair n skin
And for her how hearts they fall
She has confidence and its in her smile
Its in the very way she walks
Its in her eyes and they dont tell lies
Its the way her natural inner beauty talks
If more women spent as more on natural beauty
And looked as natural beauty does upon its own
They for sure would not need make up at all
And they would not need those diets of skin n bone
As they you are what you eat its true in life
And eat you simply in life have to do
All this cat walk skin and bone is going out
And the natural inner beauty will soon shine through
Natural inner beauty wins every single time
I can spot a woman with it a mile away
Inner natural beauty Is naturally more beautiful
And will every time steal every heart away

That's what Your Love Is worth

One day I was feeling broken and lonely
The next I owned the earth~
That's what your love has done for me
That's what your love is worth~
One day I had no real direction
The next , my way was clear~
My very being now perfection
All because of your love so dear~
One day my life seemed like living hell
The next I felt I was at heavens door~
And that is where my heart is right now
My love is yours for evermore~
One day I felt so empty
The next day I was so full of you~
Topped right up with all your love
Darlen .. Im so inlove with you ~

Little moments of romance
Happen every day~
Always there to remind me
We are in love come what may~
Like how I do oh do I what
When she leaves bathroom in a towel~
I approach with same old smile
Discouraged with a growl~
Hair so wet and shiny skin
Fragmented of perfumed soap~
One would think I'd try once more
But this bloke is not a dope~
Bear feet beautiful,hands so soft
A shape that would melt pure steel~
I just walk by and give that sigh
Perfection is still real~
Dressed in sarong she walks along
Say's .. I'd love a cup of tea~
I gets that look can't be miss took
Another job for me~
Hair still wet close as I can get
I get that look again~
I smile and say is all alright
She Say's..is it go-en to rain~
Just when I have given up
How everything changes so~
Little moments of romance
They are just so wonderful you know~

A little like a look see whats in there
And if by doing so you find it bare
Chances are your living by others rules
And in actual fact most of them don't care

If you have nothing to keep just to yourself
No memories that are only yours alone
It comes to mind no magic moments fine
And your life has no real meat on the bone

Doing the right thing always as others say
Has a living robotic life seem so good it's true
Time to go collect a few secret moments magic
And store them away where they live for good

You where not created a toy doll others to play
You have a mind of your own use it every day
A little imagination a few things not to tell or say
Them your secret room won't be all dark and grey

Every soul upon earth has one most of them full
And they remain so long after the day you die
No smiles or  secrets to take with you even then
Like a healthy egg uncooked but  dead to fry

Take just a moment now and again yours to know
Fill your secret room with a few over your life time
And know the  time you tend to peep in there
At least you have known a few moments ever so divine

Believe It Or not ,, This happened ,,
     In all honesty ..And in Gods name .

When you have experienced something
That was for you alone to learn that time~
And the lessons that you then received
Would make others feel less stressful and so fine~
Then you get the feeling that you should tell
But you know they'd not believe~
What it was you saw in all reality
And they think a story you now weave~
But so help me not all that long ago
Nine years after she was in fact dead~
My mother decided to just turn up one night
Right at the very foot of my bed~
She appeared in full size its true
And she simply spoke my name~
As if to hear the sound of it
And to move at all then I wasn't game~
She was there for a good thirty seconds
And just as I saw her last~
She always told me she'd be back
And of course then I too laughed~
I rang my sister right away that early morn
And she replied then happy birthday to me~
Then it all became a reality
Knowing what I really then did see~
It was my birthday this was true
And mum turned up right then and there~
On the same day Tuesday that I was born
And the same date and birth time I swear~
As I was born at two thirty in the dawn
And on a Tuesday too~
Upon the date the second of June
In all honesty I'm now telling you~
The reason I am writing this
Is so I can say that I have told~
Everyone who has lost someone they love
The body dies but never does the soul~
I'm no fanatic in these kind of things
But seeing is all the proof I need to know~
That there is way more to this life my friends
Long after we die and seem to go~
So just know within as I do now too
This is just one very small class in time~
In the biggest school of learning ever
And believe me .. They all are doing fine ~..

REAL TRUE FRIENDSHIP
I come from my own fathers values
I have tried to be every inch the man
The very true soul before days of old
In life every possible way that I can

He once said to me out of all things
That there are that exist in this life
You my son are one thing reliable
Forever from  heaven to hells strife

A real friend of yours can rely upon you
Be they married hurt you ignore you too
Turn their back later in time up the track
When they need a friend you'll be there true

And he was right be it day be it at night
Forever means to me forever its so true
Regardless of what forever means forever
A real friend can count on that life through

In a hundred yeears from happiness to tears
They can always say I got a real true friend
Does'nt matter where you are near or far
Friendship to me is to give forever not to lend

Simply that forever reliable as my farther said
Forever is forever in time priceless and divine
One true friend can engrave that on their heart
A real true friend to me forever in life and time

POETRY
Words that sing
Without a tune
Words that paint
As bright as the moon
Words that help many to feel good
That teach of life
As poetry should
Words that sometimes
Play and ******
Words that build
sometimes reduce
words that bring love
and often show the way
Words remembered
For many a day
Words of poetry
Words of rhyme
Words from the heart
From your soul and mind ..
Ever seductively magnetic
Diving into widows of a soul
Poetry and motion rhythum
Bringing back romances of old

LOVELY PLACES
We all have a favourite place
Where we all love to go ~
To think or paint or take a friend
Someone special that we know~
A spot that brings us peace of mind
A place to be alone~
A place to bring ourselves up to date
And a place we can call our own~
There might be a little brook
Or just a big old lazy tree~
A little hill behind the house
A place we can feel free~
Well ... I for one have such a place
And I go there once in awhile~
Its years away from confusion
But in distance  just a mile~

OUR VIBES
Like waiting for an exotic flower to bloom
Or even for spring to finally arrive again
Also waiting for a long lost friend to arrive
And as well much the same as waiting for rain

Its the not knowing how some things will be
Or in confusing times pondering good or bad
Hoping for a new tomorrow even  peace of mind
Butterflies in hearts  imagining happyness or sad

All as if know everything souls promise miracles
And here you are knowing they simply don't exist
For impossibilities  might be possible tomorrow
But after a lifetime to this day yet to be kissed

That feeling one gets having to rely upon a fool
As at this point one sometimes has  little choice
All the prayers sayers players come what may'ers
Telling you woryy not instead have a coffee rejoice

That not knowing wondering imagining doubting
Life's taught  long ago the words trust me you hate
For every time someone said them to you smiling
Inner strength prevents you showing them the gate

Weve all known this feeling deeply within ourselves
You know the greatest psychic with you always rides
How often have we wished we'd listened to that advice
How often have we wished we'd instead trusted our vibes

THIS BEAUTIFUL MORNING
This Beautiful Morning

This morning still calm flying ever slow
Glancing at the many views so far below
Sunshine lighting early dimness of day
Gentle breezes among clouds find a way

Mountains to the left valleys to the right
Sloping pines a glow with dew from night
A new day born still free from any plight
Natures kindness with love a beautiful sight

As lone bird glides high with peace of mind
Bringing gentle feelings for hearts to find
Flowers wild upon falling slopes every kind
Nature painting pictures of colors to bind

Lets just get on with living
With nature and our earth~
And forget new world living a little more
And give all the natural ways their worth~
Lets all ease up on mew ways
To live on planet earth~
And give the old ways a go again
Re discover some more age old turf~
Lets not to create peace on earth
Its been here longer than us its true~
Let us all simply be again
And let the sunshine shine on through~
Lets all forget the politics and color
Forget chopping down all the trees~
Lets all ease up on the plastics
Save the animals,the birds, the fish,the bees~
Lets all walk together in rhyme and in rhythm
Sing all the same songs and right through~
Let us all love one another as we should
Treat each other as if we all mattered,me and you~
Let us go back to when common sense it ruled
When we were taught how to respect and love~
Let us be as we were long ago taught to be
In the book that God he inspired from above ~

I sat talking to an old man in a pub
And a story to me he told~
Of memories that he had in store
Of days now gone and old~
He spoke to me about his wife
Of the girl that he once wed~
A girl he knew for all of her life
And this to me he sadly said~
I knew my love for all of her life
From when she first came down from heaven~
I held her in my arms at first
When she was born and I was seven~
And being neighbors we grew up together
We knew the bad times and the good~
We fell inlove as people do
And lived as those inlove all should~
We wed and raised a family
But now they've grown and moved away~
And if you listen to my story
I ll tell you why I'm here alone today~
My love she grew old as we all do
From one thing and another~
She had been the best wife and partner
And a real devoted mother~
Last night I knew her last of all
When she left me for parts above~
She died telling me she loved me so
And just said " this is goodbye my love "~
Today she will be buried
And here I am alone~
I cannot live without her
And I hate the thought of going home~
I knew my only love from always
And for her love I ll always crave~
I knew my only love from always
From the cradle to the grave ~.

copyright 1964 .. TRUE STORY
One of my first poems
Love to camp to fish to ride at home among all natural
To sit to watch the endless stars upon display
By gentle burning camp fire flames in total dance
Appreciating all our planet gives away

A strumming of an old country song once sang
Eyes a sane man would have to learn in to swim
A smile that steals ones heart away full moon display
When an old cowboy thinks this is where I again begin

The love of a horse a saddle under blanket home made
I yet have my boots I bought back in a time I did adore
They yet love me as I love them 11 inches under jeans
Gone the days of lonesome dove love to return once more

To sit in camp with a Montana angel with a starlit glow
When I return guess where I'll be thus heading again
With my bed role near by under a Montana star lit sky
Come sunshine come the beautiful Montana rain..

Living in a country where most have not a clue
That there's a difference between emotions..
So grossly most controlled by religion as if
Their's an emotionally difference as oceans..

There's so many that I love not in love with
Others I'm in love with in my very own way..
I was born psychic and can as well look within
And see what lives in there come what may..

So tied of having to explain myself to many
Them thinking I should tell them of all of me..
When I don't know anything about themselves
Their own life's secrets hidden and not free..

Whatever I am is for myself to know in life
As long as my intentions are decent with respect..
If they have to at all know all of me then ask away
My integrity honesty open mind easy to detect..

So many in the Philippines have become religious
Hypocrites without knowing that as well it's true..
I do not follow any religion I captain my own soul
And have done always in life and as well in life I do..

To all these that have to know mind your business
Until I've done something wrong and I don't it's so..
I know right from wrong good and bad so to them
The ******* has a job to do if they need to know..

Tell me all your thoughts feelings within your soul
In life first or is that some kind of religious hex..
I only answer to myself not stuffed minds or religion
Learn the difference between love being in love and ***..

Mostly like a woman yesterday asked myself about myself
Her being herself who in life never had a single idea of love..
I gave someone I adore a hug and this women's lonely mind
With only her fantasy of God had to speak as if God above..

The audacity of this unknowing person way less my age in life
Thinking all men are one in thought looking at her I understand..
The kind of male I suppose she knew in life over her time
I feel resembled a grub and not that of a decent kind of man..

The young soul that I hugged so she knew who I was within
And rushed out to hug me as well with loving sincerity true..
And I hugged her as she is charismatically within so innocent
The older woman almost had a heart attack not having a clue..

They don't know me I not them these holey hypocrites that be
Yet over their lives they've done things that'd set fire to a tree..
So fed up them me at my age now thinking I was born yesterday
Not knowing love or being in love maybe *** a trinity that be..

Thank goodness they'er not all the same but ever so many seems
I have an open mind and values many if I had four wives up to me..
Stuff the religious owned souls get an education about here and now
I only answer to myself not them to be myself I'll always be..

My business is my business I always walked the very line
I'm a better person than most of them ever hope to be..
So if you think I owe any or you an explanation of myself
Take my ******* and go climb back up your tree..

ONE DESTINY
So sensual so spine tingling
My very being with you ~
In every way from back more than a day
My loving you my love as I do~
Total ecstasy to crown all feelings
How I treasure your loving me so much~
I live to be a part of you and me
For the wand of love and romance within your touch~
The very knowing you as I sincerely do
Your very knowing me~
As candles burn and clock hands turn
We are both in love and one destiny~
No stories told in all of life's ages
Could tell of a love more true~
Than the love we both have forever
Of two that love each other more than we do~

Our drain pipe is an instrument
Every time it rains~
As soon as we here pitter patter on our roof
It starts all over again~
No sooner rain runs down our water pipes
We here the same old sound~
Our very own favorite melody
So deeply the sounds go up and down~
You see in our drain pipe we have two frogs
And they are real big and green~
They are the biggest and the greenest frogs
That we have ever seen~
And when the water rushes down
It really turns them on~
And then they really go to town
Singing their favorite song~
Our drain pipe is an instrument
Every time it rains~
As soon as we here pitter patter on our roof
It starts all over again~.

Lifes Never Easy
Life's not easy wherever you go ..
Life's not always easy who ever you know ..
Life's not that easy what ever seeds you sow ..
Life's not always easy this we always know ..
But we all give life it's best as through life we go ..
Horses I trust and old dogs it's so ..
Gardens I trust as I get back what I there sow ..
I've learned  so much from life as through time I did grow ..
The reason I love writing and singing a country song
As many find memories both some sad as some glow..

Boy sits on a ***** lone beach hill of lawny grass
With a very attractive girl he not long had met
And they looked at each other and then smiled
She thinks I bet ,, he wants to make love to me
He thinks, OH I'd love to make love to her
He thinks but I would never tell her that though
And she thinks If he asked me I just might but
I would not tell him that as he'd think I'm easy
Then he says I bet you think I want to make love to you
But if I did I'd not say so as you'd think me awful
And she says no I wouldn’t but I'd not tell you
If I wanted you to, anyway but I bet you do
Me ? What gives you the idea I want to do that
Nothing she says I'm just thinking if you did , that’s all
Well if I did want to I'd be worried that you'd leave
She says am I going anywhere , am I moving at all
He says well I'm not leaving , do I look like I want to go
Then she says if you did want to , would you tell me so
And he says yes I would tell you if I thought that you might
Well she says if you ask me I might tell you if I do want to
And he says if I did ask you that , would you mind at all
And she says If I asked you , what would you say to me
He says Oh I don't know ask me then and then you’ll know
And she says I'd ask you if I thought you wouldn’t mind
And he says I wouldn’t mind if you asked me at all ok
And she says ok I'm asking you then , so what about that
And he says what are you asking me then may I ask
And she says I'm asking you to ask me to ask you if I want to
Would you ask me she says to ask you so I’ll maybe tell you
Tell me what he says will you just let me know what you want to know
What your thinking right now he said so I'll know what to think
And she says well ,,,, I’ll tell you what right now honestly .. ok
And he says , YES YES tell me ..
And she says ..
I'd really LOVE a ****** ice cream ..

THE LADY WAS HIS WIFE
The Lady Was His Wife.
(About a man I once knew)

I liked what I saw in him when we first met
How I then thought he was in life~
But then I found out how come his perfection
That was the day I met his wife~
She was the motor behind the machine
The force behind the will~
The heart and mind and the very soul
That continued on until~
In silence she quietly performed
As if nobody would ever know~
That the mainstay behind this man
Was the one that loved him so~
Not ever receiving credit
Not for a single deed~
And whenever he needed an answer
He d rush off to her with speed~
She was the lubrication that oiled his way
The balm that soothed his strife~
The very backbone of this man
The lady .. Was his wife~

When one can smell that freshest air
That is a living pleasure to breath in
Its pure fragrance as it nears to you
Silently still it moves slowly to begin

The crops and grasses all sit up and wait
The leaves upon the trees all bow and sway
That beautiful smell of the coming rain
I enjoyed its heavenly fragrance again today

We get more than our share of rain sometimes
But there is that special time I speak of true
When one can sit and smell the most pure air
As it moves slowly across the land to you

One can taste the oxygen in ones soul
Life giving and a gift from above
Has one feel glad to be alive and well
Another gift from God with love

How I just love the smell the coming rain
Even though its still a little far away
Its purest air one can breath in so deep
As it moves slowly across dry soil on the day.

If the sun did never shine
And we had not the rain_
We'd never know the value
Of life and love and pain~
These things they need each other
To even simply be~
But even they'll not know about
The bliss of you and me~

Can the flowers in our gardens
ever share as one~
With glory , grace and pardon
And the caress of both rain and sun~
Will they ever grow together
Sharing life this way~
lending beauty to each other
As they travel through each day~

She is a flower within my garden
Delighting come who may~
She pleases all who know her
As she goes through each and every day~
Beauty indiscribable
She brings ecstassy , the best~
standing higher than the sky

As a candle will burn longer
It's worth way less all of the time~
And as we to go through our daily lives
Our candle of life burns so ever fine~
As our time on earth it slips slowly away
The value of life to many becomes cheaper~
Burning life up as if a candle
And the way back it becomes ever so steeper~
The value of life was once worth far more
Today not many care about values fine and free~
So many they feel they'll live forever more
Not thinking at all of our final destiny~
These days it's all computers it seems
Nobody works that hard any more much at all~
Running through life as does the wind
Feeling they'll ever have to climb life's final wall~
Once there was needed so little to be happy
Now more and more we seem to need to even live~
When not all that long ago we had it all
And we then still had so very much to freely give~
But along came those with an eye for a buck
And almost robbed this planet dry~
And among our most respected wealthy
Not hardly a tear they'll ever cry~
Very few will ever realize what they've done
And they'll never miss what it is they've never known~
But with just a little more human and planet consideration
Instead of burning up our candle it could have grown~
We all arrive with nothing when first born
And at end of day we leave ever so much the same-
Every single soul upon earth and life a gift from God
So much still needless woe , struggle and pain-

WHENEVER
When ever others have to know all your secrets
The only thing that you really have to do
It's called feeding the chickens
Give them some crumbs maybe a few

If thats all they have in their life they have to do
Just tell them enough to keep them satisfied true
Give them a make believe don't tell will you
And feed their empty minds with a crumb or two

One has to show pity for such a lowere I Q
So throw them a few crumbs of don't tell will you
As long as they live their lives won't change true
Chicken after all just chickens and do what they do

They'll take those crumbs adding a thought or two
With fowl like imaginations the hens roosters too
But thats who they are like some humans so blue
Some get laid some don't some get hatched it's true

Replying .. You got laid ? goodness have'nt you too
Never thought you would .. But even chickens *****
Along came this rooster and it was all far from blue
Then he told the whole farm yard with a **** a doodle do

TAKE AWAY
Take away all the dreams .. the games
The hurts and joys of yesterday~
The ways you d like it all to be
The believing in the prayers you pray~

Take away the emotions many
That guide us all the time~
The need to be needed so
And to have things oh so fine~

All the little things we depend upon
And the things we think we do~
And you end up with someone
Who can still make it through~

Seems a little far fetched but
There's always another way to open a gate~
And to look at life yet another way
And give yourself a brand new slate~

Then you give it all that you have to give
With what you have left its true~
This time giving it your heart and soul
And you ll get there and never more be blue~

THAT OLD COW
Old cow your bones are brilliant
As they bask there in the sun~
How you've paid for drought conditions
And now your time on earth is done~
You died out upon this lonely plain
Without a blade of grass at all~
No water holes out here not one
And no rain ever seems to fall~
Your soul has to be in a better place
Far better than out here old cow~
You died from thirst and starvation
And this place looks no different now~
Its still an arid and heartless land
And there's no cows out here but you now~
But I feel they d know what you went through
And how you died somehow~
But you never died for nil old cow
You still act as a memory and a sign~
That this place is no place to be
And a **** good place to leave behind~

Moonlight and Goosebumps
A very new to me combination
As the moon lit your body so
Moonlight through yonder window
Had those little bumps all glow

The cool breeze played its melody
As it had the curtains do a dance
And there were you aglow its true
Enjoying all that night as if in trace

I loved this night less worldly plight
Still wet from shower goose bumps they
Were all over the loveliest moon lit form
As you moved so did they move and play

How the moonlight in attic loved you so
As you and goose bumps riggled so in tune
If only you knew how beautiful you looked
Only dressed within the softest light of moon

My heart body and very soul will never forget
You  dressed in moonlight and goose bumps too
All of this in angelic bliss sealed with a kiss
  
I dearly love moonlight and goose bumps now
Its my brand new favorite trend from today
How beautiful you looked dressed in moonlight
And as well moonlit goose bumps again soon I pray

MAGIC MOMENTS
Magic moments are made of
The most simple times and things~
Oh how wonderful it is its so
What a magic moment brings~
Takes your very breath away
Gives your feet such flight~
Causes your heart to miss a beat
No matter day or night~
Magic moments are the very highs
In our lives to fight the lows~
Magic moments are the strings of love
And our heartstrings are the bows~

Complete Surrender
How I could feel the gates of heaven open
So new So fresh so ever lovingly soft
Like a fog so damp as it eased without cramp
As I found my way as if to an angels loft
I felt the greatest feeling of approval
And an angel clutched my hand just so
As if we two how we flew to uncharted stars
A strongest grip as to as if never let go
It was as if the swell upon the deepest ocean
A feeling of a glow from moon and sun as one
Rising and setting over and over once again
A feeling of as if a new world had just begun
Time it seemed as if the longest time to be
Like holding hands we sailed into deepest space
And as well a slow motion I've never known
With the changing emotion glowing upon your face
A pleasure of experiencing something ever new
A complete feeling of taking even the breath away
All of ecstasy it self could never before be
As one until the very dimmest light of day

ALL MEN ARE EQUAL IT SAYS

All men are on earth are equal on earth
Thats what it says in their man written book
Everyone knows right from wrong as well
Instead of have faith why don't they take a look

Everybody knows anything passed the word no
Is **** but **** has many different forms true
Those who are the powers that be on a daily rate
Are ****** our very only planet home as they do

The list of all being done to date to long to record
And they'll soon know how climate change loo
We have a planet wiped clean six time already
The human race helping this become seven times true

Simplicity is not worth money to them in any way
But the walking already human dead think that war
Will win the way and that fortune will thus them pay
Religions mixed with politics will take care for sure

How many already lost civilizations thought the same
Our oceans floors hold endless that thought as they
And endless loving poorer souls all know so better
While little boys with bigger toys such games they play

Come will a time again their uncaring games divine
Again as before there 'll be no I told you so's
Yet in another million or so years to one day come
Deepest oceans will reveal the stupidity another race to go

TO MY BEST FRIEND
Please help me to build my self esteem
And please be patient with me in some areas
For I maybe according to some a late bloomer,
I need my sense of dignity
So please do not belittle me in front of others
For I will take far more notice of you if you
speak to me in private in an understanding voice,
I need to feel good about myself so please do not
ridicule me in front of others or imply my inopropriate
behaviour means that I am bad as it wears down my sense
of self worth,
When you experience somethen annoying within your day
please do not take it out upon me,
I am far more capable than you could imagine,
Please help me to blossom and reach my highest potential
by giving me lots of encouragement and understanding
as the more I feel safe and protected the more my inner self will risk being shown,Please remember I thrive on love and understanding but surely I do not have to tell you that do I ,
Please do not ever compare me with others or anybody else,
I just want you to love and like me for simply who I am,All you have to do is know that I love you far more than I ever could say .

This was written in the worst english and had to be sorted out word by word by myself but it is not mine , Just put in my words best I could under the circumstances ,Its a very old piece of work , Author unknown .

Three half fallen walls left of rock and mud
Almost covered by smothering oldest wild fig tree~
And it had grown right through this old bush hut
Where once stood a fire place and it’s chimney~
Proof still about of this once magnificent spot
Once enjoyed no doubt by family of a few~
Still four days from simply anywhere at all
Up the top of Australia not far from ocean blue~
There had been here an old outside bath in stone
Another tree grew there so very much the same~
It seemed to be a wild cherry tree of some kind
That found good soil in search of from the rain~
A deepest old water well it stood quite near
And the top fashioned from rock and mud as well~
The track that I drove upon stopped 3 miles away
And overgrown scrub hid the hut as if never to tell~
I’d taken the horse out from the float back there
As I wanted to see this place of which I was told
They said that it had first been an old settlers hut
Right away back in the very early days of old
Who was it lived so far away out here in this old hut
Must have been at least one hundred years ago~
How they survived away out here so far back in time
Where they came from to here I guess we ll never know~
There was remains of fence posts grey, dry and  leaning now
An oldest ever home made gate it hung there badly~
But the visions of such happier times lay all about
Though all these years have passed for it now sadly~
There was no more the obvious days of reasonable splendor
It’s once day of usefulness have long gone and its need~
The owners of this place would all be gone long ago
Now stands their testament in overgrown scrub and wild ****~
There was some signs of a path still to be seen
Still many oldest rusty tools and signs of once life I see~
And even makeshift toys near an oldest ever tree
Now all a part of a families long ago still secret history~

OLD SONGS
Old songs they seem to haunt you
And they seem to take you back~
To times that you knew long ago
Aways back down the track~
Old songs always there to remind you
Taking you back to a day~
Ever so very long ago
Every single time they play~
Without warning one is transported
Back so long ago~
To a place , a love , a time
Of someone precious you came to know~
They stop you right there in your tracks
Steals your mind back into time~
Old songs always there to remind you
Of special moments in your life so fine~
When one least expects it
An old song it will softly play~
Takes you heart and soul away
In an instant on the day~
Old songs always there to remind you
Whenever you least expect~
Old somgs those old songs
How they demand a hearts respect~
Seems theres a song for every magic moment
That we have deep in our mind~
And they are always there it seems to me
To simply pop up unexpected to remind~

My Version of An Old Song
It's 4 in the morning and she's in there snoring
And I'm as cold as  can be
I went out drinking she went off stinking
And locked me in the old lavetry

She's in there swearing I'm out here decaring
This'll never again happen to me
Now she's in there snoring the rain it is pouring
And I'm locked in this old lavetry

Oh her I will throttle wished to God I had a bottle
How bad can this life for me ***
I'm soaking wet how bad can life get
And all I can smell is this sh..........t

For the **** life of me on toilet paper no glee
I write a poem with my finger
Guess I'll throw it away but when night comes day
No more inside here will I linger ..

WHEN
( A sad but real reality of love and life    
    we all learn over time )


When you've found all you've ever searched for
All your whole life long~
When you've heard the very words
To your very own souls song~
When you've found the very reason
That you yourself was born~
When love remains as brilliant
As nights first sensual touch of dawn~
When the words total ecstasy
Replaces all you've ever known~
When you know love better than sheer perfection
As if it came to you on the most seductive wind ever blown~
When you are feeling with your fingertips
The very angel you've waited a lifetime for~
When she alone is in your heart and space
And has opened up loves every door~
How can you have her really know that
Its her alone that fills your being~
How can you prove to her in hours
What it is that you are feeling and seeing~
With her exactly as she is without changing
In every single sensual beautiful way~
And she s everything you've ever dreamed of
For now , for ever and a day~
This is when you've found love
And yes this is how it is for you~
But its not worth a solitary dime
If she doesn't feel that way too~

SOMEONE ONCE ASKED ME
Someone asked me one day
What was my funniest memory~
I had to tell him about it
And thus this now story~
A bloke I knew Italian died
And to his funeral I thus went~
It was raining simply cats and dogs
But he was a genuine lovely gent~
His wife walked to the graveside
As down there now he lay~
But there was mud everywhere
And this is the story ay?~
Eighteen stone of wife she slipped
And down onto that box~
First time I saw an eighteen stone woman fly
She came out of there just like a fox~
Straight up into the air she flew
And never touched the side~
Three foot above that grave
And with only damaged pride~
No way she was going too
Though love him I'm sure she did~
Will never forget that very day
When on top of him she slid~
The preacher hid his laughing face
I landed in the mud~
I know you think that I am bad
But laughing I landed with a thud~
Had a brand new suit on to
Well that took care of that~
Got mud all over my suit
And ya should'a seen my hat~
First time I've ever seen
An eighteen stone woman fly~
The way she simply came out of there
And ya should'a heard her cry ~

THIS BEING A CLASS
This life being a class in a very big school
University life if you call it anything at all
The further you go the harder the lessons are
Treat it as a joke ..... Well it's your call

Those without legs .. Or very often worse still
Are way further than the healthy wealthy here
Have come back to perfect lessons harder to pass
While so many take time to not be all that sincere

So many full of themselves with little respect fo aged
And endless who've done that longest ever mile
So many even younger this day and age much to learn
And think lifes a joke but karma takes away that smile

Never mind others your the one with homework to do
So many drive don't know where the carburettas belongs
Time more worked harder on the within sincerely
Life is not the latest clothing and much loved songs

SO MANY AFRAID TO VENTURE
So many afraid to venture to dare to even chance
Much they see in movies read in books of fantasy
To take a time to let go of the done thing vine
And become for moments all one in life could be

Only you to know no needs to tell all it's so
Of feeding a souls deepest inner desires
Knowing in time taking a chance seductively divine
Throwing fuel upon longest dimmest burning fires

Letting go not half doing anything to creat that glow
A memory that lasts beautifully thats yours alone
With open mind being all one could be in time
Abandon taking heart mind body soul together home

Can any inform myself as an educated man
when too much love ever killed a soul
respect or caring concideration for the aged
As far back as any can venture in days of old

When pssion or romance or even making love
Ever course a being any harm this time around
Living a simple working life as a farming family
Planting tomorrows hopes within the ground

Sadly that where the human race began long ago
All proud of daily efforts come the fall of night
And love it's self in any form since away back then
As each one rose above and dealt with endless plight

Love and making love branded bywrde than any
As to capture hearts minds and many a soul
As to create a wealth beyond figeration  so often
Since the oldest ever days of yet found days of old

Love to know how I would so when love and loving
One another coursed a being any harm if it was love
Caring endlessly for one another upon this earth
Since together lived as one both hand in glove..

MAKING MEMORIES
What ever we are doing within each day
In actual fact we are making memories-
In a perfect world it would be grand
To have it all look how we'd like it to be-
Keeping in mind one day we'll remember
As we look back at our life in time-
It would be Better being pleased with it all
Having each moment a memory so fine-
Things in life cannot always be this way
But to some extent we at least can try-
While at the same time just being ourselves
Keeping in mind some memories never die-
Each and every moment that we live in life
And each day and everything that we do-
Will one day be a memory
That will always be there for me and you-
And as we live each day one at a time
This thought we all should keep in mind-
Is this the way we would like to have it be
When we go back for a memory to find-

HOW I LOVED MY DAD
(In memory of my Dad)

He stopped loving her today
This was my fathers life~
The story was the same right through
My mother was his wife~
Now all these years later on
From a small boy I watched him die inside~
He kept his vows every single one
And broken hearted died with pride~
No one but myself chooses to remember
How he suffered but always carried on~
And though an older man now myself I'm doing fine
Right up until again I hear this song~
I told him I'd find what he never did alive
Simply true love and peace of mind~
I said to him last I'll find it for you dad
I can still see his sincere smile so kind~
I've lived my life searching for unconditional true love
One who adores myself as I did her as well~
In every single old fashioned way
And soon we'll ring that wedding bell~
I've broken the spell,my hearts now safe and free
I cannot die anymore as my dad left this earth~
I am so inlove with one who's inlove with me
Happy now until I take my last breath on earth earth~
But every time I hear that song
I feel again his suffering and pain~
My dad a saint,A man right to the end
He gave only sunshine to all and received rain~
I've found it dad peace of mind and true love
No money on earth could buy it true~
I live my life with all your values intact
You being my dad it lives on all thanks to you~
I learned never to drop ones search in life
For what really matters to you more all along ~
But now all I've found one a little old fashioned
Has me being able to listen now to that that song~
LOVE YA MATE ......
