Strange Friends

I was a stranger, you took me in

but I found you were stranger still.

I guess we’re two peas in a pod

cuz neither of us fits the bill

of all the many ways the world expects

two blokes like us to be.

You took me in, now we’ve become...

the strangest friends you’ll ever see.

Laura

Laura

Laura is a strong name
      dating back to Apollo,
            a Greek god of light,
                 of healing.

Laura means
       Virtuous
       Popular
       Victorious
       Resourceful
       Keen, and Wise.

Laura is a loving name
       For me it conjures:
               A charming hostess
               A talented florist
               A perfectionist garden...

Anger's Embrace

Anger curls its tendrils around me,

it envelopes me whole,

strokes me tenderly.

It forms an impenetrable wall,

a shield of sorts,

to keeps me safe and sound.

It takes all those blows

and hits for me,

protects me from my foes.

 

Rage filled screams,

cover the sound of falling tears.

Sadness sits beside me,

gently wipes my sea.

Anger extinguishes my fear,

Your Unknown Friend

There's so much sadness 
Stored in your body.
Too much sorrow
For such a little
Body to try
To contain.
It flows out of you.
Out of your nose,
Your eyes
Your throath.
Sadness paints
The canvas of your face.

 

I am a spectator,
Unable to change.
I watch and feel,
Tender brushstrokes
on my skin.
Mirroring the image
Laid before me.

 

Am I not you?
Are we not each other?

Angelie 🕊

A new angel joined the ranks in heaven above, 

 

Never imagined attending your funeral and sending you off with doves.

 

Gone but our memories of you will live on, 

 

Ever present in all our hearts where you belong. 

 

Loved by many and we are all struggling with this loss, 

 

In the next life we shall reunite, when it’s my time to cross. 


Everyday we will get to...

The Soul of the Moon

I stole the soul of the moon,

Kept it unclothed to illume

Dark, deserted manor rooms 

And fireflies that forever loom 

Above fifty forsaken tombs.

 

I secured a piece for me,

Kept it between creases deep 

And verses of revered balladry 

Written on the tattered leaves 

Of my hands rickety.

 

But then came a shooting star,

Its hands stocked with bits of its hea...

My Friend Phil

My friend got abducted by aliens, they took her in their ship 
The beamed her with a magic torch, it made her kip 
She woke up quite Drowsy, No idea what they had done 
One said in broken English 'Boy that was fun' 

She thinks that they looked in her mind, laughing as they read 
The prong marks on her belly itched and where all red 
Before she knew it she was home in Ireland in her bed

The Spaceship part 1

High in the clouds we float.. spaceship
Views of the city a head turn away
I see it all from here
I see lights and windmills
I see houses and tall hills
In the distance famous towers
Blessed for this view
I could gaze out for hours
I stay early hours
Love I've never felt more
Oh euphoric twelfth floor
Safe and time stops
Towered over tree tops
Warmth. . I feel your body heat
In sync ...

Friendship

A true friend shall stay with you

Throughout thick and thin,

And shall not come and go

According to whim.

 

They should be there to listen,

To be generous and kind,

And in a real friend

This is what you should find.

 

And in face of all problems

True friends should not leave you

And always be close by,

And there to receive you.

 

So should you find your...

GOD Bless

 

Surely, I'm not happy 
To lose the best friend 
It is true, not funny 
"GOD" put the final end 

Certain hour, of the day 
Whatever we are or where 
We have to say Goodbye 
"GOD" is kind and fair 

No one plans to die 
No one remains forever 
No When , Where or WHY? 
Let's pray, no suffer

Not alone

If you should fall down again
And find yourself needing a friend
I will always be here by your side
Please don't shut yourself in and hide
I will hold your hand through the pain
You will beat these demons again
Together we will pull you out
Of the fountains creating doubt
I will stick with you all the while
Hoping to see you yet again smile
You are never on your own
In my arms you have ...

Dawn

These are other people’s stories you lose yourself in to escape, to live another life, to become someone different..Yet you don’t see how beautiful the one you are in is.

Breathing incense and admiring the little pot of sunshine unselfconsiously lost in your head. I see you wrapping Christmas presents and drinking tea, full of laughter and happiness. Don’t forget where you are and where you hav...

FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is my best friend

she gives such relief

---

Finding my best friend

can be such a challange

She often hides in the corners of my mind

plays hide and seek with my heart

---

It's so hard to let go

and let her do her magic

It's easier to sit in the dark closet

holding onto anger

---

Anger is black and painful

it takes from my soul

It lies and ch...

Oh so sorry

Because I totally didn't listen to your problems,
I didn't vow to not tell your best friend something,
I didn't try to help you, I didn't care about you...
Oh wait, I did.
I didn't realize me trying to be your friend meant nothing to you, though.

Lost for you.

A Dream Come True

Feelings that once were hidden
Are now expressed to you.
Days that once were stormy
Are now the brightest blue.

Times that once were lonely
Are now filled with pleasure.
All that once was mine alone
Are now things we both treasure.

Nights that once were cold
Are now comforting and warm.
Fears that once were very real
Are now gone with the storm.

A heart that once was broken
Can ...

Autumn Lady

 

Autumn Lady

Anna with autumn hair and summer eyes.

Lady from afar here in England.

With such charisma, capturing her image in a blink of your eye.

Imagine that there was only ever one sunrise; that is Anna's beauty.

As memorable as a waterfall, free and never still.

In movement.

Never a prisoner of anyone.

Always laughing and smiling, never sad or in tears.

Not quite sure why your death affected me so much Lynette.                                                     

Left me very upset when I found out.
