Timeout...

This tiny flame flickers
in the gentle morning breeze
welcoming all who enter
hoping that all stress will ease

For soothing meditation
helps the soul to feel bright
along with all the candles
that flutter in the sun light

Peacefulness is golden
a state we all hope to find
centering our inner selves
and helping us to unwind

Each sweet scented candle
assists us with our stress
so we can move forward
for there's strength we possess

So always take a moment
time to charge up your soul
and wear a beaming smile
so you can take control.

Determination.......

These feelings of pain and abandonment
seem to be growing stronger and stronger
as everything around is crumbling
to be honest, I can`t take this much longer

this loneliness I`m told is solitude
though suffering this pain is not good
so needing to sort my life out now
this is something, I know that I should

so shaking off all this doom and gloom
beginning to take stock of all my world
I`m not going to be trampled over
standing tall as my banner`s unfurled

I am not going to take any nonsense
please don`t take me for a fool either
though I've been down trodden for years
I'm committed to taking a breather

Giving up!

Sitting in the darkness, is the best place to be
hidden from every eye, staying out of view
feint shadows of my surroundings seen
no real colour found, just a hint of a deep hue

It`s hard to stay in the light, when you feel so low
unloved, unwanted, pushed out from all that good
remaining in the blackness of sorrow
knowing now that I am so misunderstood

I am but a shell of all that I stood for
down trodden by enemies, where else should I go?
but hide in the depths of this unyielding hell
here to remain for eternity,  oh well..!

Musical Joy

notes dancing

across the room

rhythmic beats

filling the air

the heart skips

as the feet tap

starlight in the eyes

sparkling bright

crotchets on pages

forming new tunes

dancing through time

creating music

to lift the soul

holding all together

smiles around

it`s party time!

Hurting...

Anger deep inside
welling up from below
pressure so powerful
nowhere for me to go

This pain in my heart
such a throbbing ache
just won`t let me be
make it stop, for goodness sake!

Fed up with being used
and taken for a ride
I`m worth better than this
I shouldn't have to hide

Thought you were my world
that you would protect me
how wrong could I have been
you left me adrift at sea.....

My soul weeps silently
as I watch you walk away
your arrogance running high
but I will live for another day...!

Writing will help.........

I`m told to release my hurt
through writing it down
on paper, it won`t seem so bad

but it hurts to explain
what`s really inside me
I`m sure that this won`t work

unhappy thoughts
since you left my life
this pain won`t go away

write it all down,  they said
it would help me
all I feel is loneliness

this hurt is too much
writing it on paper
just makes it real again

want my heart to mend
to feel whole again
not sure writing will help

I`m trying to write
but nothing works
why can`t this pain go away?

Standing there....

Standing so proud and tall
among the wooded grounds
watching with head held high
vigilant of all sounds

Constructed from branches
making up this feature
all woven altogether
creating this creature

This regal animal
caught in the sun so bright
magnificent antlers
such a wonderful sight

Stood here so dominant
there`s nothing its fearing
this stag yields to no man
in this woodland clearing

Cup of Cupacabana......

Rhythms of music fill the air
cool refreshing atmosphere
samba, calypso, feet tapping
sunshine and smile to be found here

Cappuccinos, lattes delicious
good company and great friendship
what more would you want for this place?
but to sit here, with your coffee to sip

Light, airy and inviting to all
what treasures will you find to eat?
lemon or strawberry cheese cakes
there`s always time to have a treat

Cupacabana,  what a place
always welcoming everyone
come, taste the treasured delights
chat, make friends and have fun.!!
