   so long since i wrote on here i could hardly remember how to do this......
   
          
         Spring is showing itself,
         The tiny white flowers,
         Pushing their way through the snow....
         New life a pleasure to behold.

   Through thin stalks rife
   Battling the cold
   To bring joy untold..

   Snow covers the ground,
      But still the Spring flowers
      fight for their survival
      The birds looking for food.
      Whilst cosy and warm we
      Drink hot chocolate and write..............

   did breath begin us
   breaking silence
   becoming the inside

   for a moment I am grass
   making the decision to be found
   
   the enemy stands in front of me
   radiation levels lousy in its dna
   evidence that things don't change
   
   but i am not paralyzed by my status
   
   eaten by a cow and moved into the form of a summerfly
   i become mobile
   and witness the dazzling throneroom of god
   conflict and rebellion are no longer validating

    Yet, even a worm,
    The lowliest thing,
    Awaits treasured Spring.
    
    Beneath thawing soil,
    It begs to emerge,
    It, too, has an urge.

    connecting with both earth and sky,
    creating, and being creating,
    breathing, pausing to catch one more breath,
    Inhaling the surroundings,
    Encouraging, and being allowed the freedom
    To connect, and create together,
    Though not in the same space,
    not in the same mind,
    far away, but in many ways so close.

    Poetry for the soul
    my mind not at ease
    a heart broken
    thoughts scattered
    mind battered
    emotion arrested
    feelings made numb
    
    i am now lonely
    ruled by hatred
    seeking for vengeance
    sad at betrayal
    love to me is a lost cause
    
    read my mind
    you will see a dark path
    seeking for relief
    my heart troubled
    cos love is an outcast.
    
    Thoughts from
    the mind of a boy

       Tell us that you dared
       to live with courage
       to show you cared
       Enough to give all of you
       from life’s wellsprings you drew
       Once given of life
       Ask not for it again
       What you gave
       will come back to save!

    The sparkle of love
    holds us spell-bound
    its embers fan our ego
    at the start of its magic
    
    ¤¤¤¤
    love is a strange feeling
    when in it
    you dwell in a faraway land
    like aliens,
    your thoughts ancient & funny,
    it keeps you going each day
    ¤¤¤¤
    
    it dashes you hope
    And bribes you with joy
    Each moment glorious
    Each day sacred
    
    ¤¤¤¤
    but when it is sour
    your world come crashing
    Each day an obstacle
    Moments of pain unending
    remembering those sweet moments,
    with sad faces

       my life is like a riverpool a movin' mighty fast
       i'm known to skip a beat or two - won't nothing never last?
       if i should fall in love with you please tell me if it's true
       cause i can't tell the difference now that I made love to you
       
       my life is like a riverpool a pullin' me along
       i'm known to skip a beat or two when the feelin's really strong
       if I should fall in love with you don't drown me by the quay
       the riverpool has left me dry - the area is grey
       
       sometimes my heart and mind collide - i can not beg to stay
       my life is like a riverpool a draggin' me away

    awestruck
    wonderment and delight have carried me
    to the place where poets rise
    
    and there I found a star man
    a person who is loved by everyone
    
    a large round man with a willing smile
    a round smile and a face like the moon
    
    he drank honey with his coffee
    and red sprinkles
    said it was the magic that gives the coffee its greatness
    
    he wore a big ring and drove a cadillac deville
    polished perfection
    like the shine coming from his eyes
    eyes which were true enough
    
    “there are two kinds of people,” he’d said.  “the little kind and the big kind.
    don’t let the world confiscate your heart,” he told me.  “you got to be a magician”
    
    I figured he was telling me to hide my feelings or something
    
    “no,” says he, “you got to leave something everywhere you go and leave nothing.  don’t just visit”
    
    “I must have rocks in my head.  how can I leave something and nothing?”
    
    “come on – don’t be miss ignorant.  be a myth maker, a teller of tales, a messenger”
    
    “fierce leader, what does this mean?” I teased him while he honeyed his coffee
    
    “you are the steps you take
    fill your days with gems and whims
    talk to the hummingbirds
    hear from clowns
    
    life’s measuring is not in our aloneness
    it’s in the red sprinkles we leave for others
    ***
    and so I follow the poets in their blissful parade
    and I listen to the fairies whispering behind me.

    Now i am here again
    To unearth my emotions
    Tell a tale of my feelings
    share my heart and mind
    Of the glorious happenings of my life
    ¤¤¤¤
    I slept in peace yester-night
    though bugged by emotions unending
    about a woman
    that once stole my heart
    my heart sleeps with her words,
    the sonorous sound of her voice
    with whispers so divine
    touches of shivers
    In times of glorious sweaty sweet moments
    ¤¤¤¤
    i remember how you cried
    cries of painful pleasures
    Each stroke a maiden's delight
    ¤¤¤¤
    let it be dawn
    i am home
    let the candles blaze
    let the music sound
    make it slow and soft
    is the bed ready?
    My body quakes
    your touches divine
    kisses deep
    mouth searching
    tongue sweet
    moans echo
    bodies melt as the heat cloud our vision
    Each thrust chains of pleasure sweeter than honey
    you shout, head shaking
    hips jabbing
    with such pace
    i am a champion
    ¤¤¤¤
    wow! Those re deep thoughts

       what copyright is this - you cannot say
       to copyright my love - when it was thine
       I send this letter thus, your heart to sway
       the hope of which to give you what is mine.
       
       if i could live upon your tattered brow
       and bathe my heart within your silken tear
       then there would be the portent of my dream
       complete resplendant love unbidden there
       
       but suddenly i am no longer bold
       remove the words of anger spoken there
       what once was full of life now quickly gone
       the cause of such defeat i can not bear
       
       so precious to your soul the gift you hid
       you close your heart from breaking even now
       no flame nor e'en desire holding there
       but i, to save your love and this i vow
       
       would live among the misty streets of dreams

    How feebly reached my finger, but hesitating so;
    One phrase it wished to capture, but words it did not know.
    Poised there above the backlit slate, it longed to etch that rhyme,
    That poem yet still burnt in heart, but not yet borne to mind.
    
    Time passes as the finger waits, a fidget now and then
    Flicks lightly at its poised-there tip, while iPad screen grows dim.
    Hath inspiration left my soul? Falls scorn around my head?
    'Tis late; the Hubbers I have failed. Off now, I am, to bed.

    Oh, stately, sightly, beautiful dead
    I fall upon your ancient grave.
    Still now, I hear your whispered soul
    and see with heart, not eye.
    
    When once you led the hearts of men
    what battles did you see?
    What came unbidden to your eyes
    and caused your soul to flee?
    
    When first you heard the footsteps of my soul
    you chanced to love.
    I layed a sword across your lips
