Things have never been easy for my mum ..always encountering tragedy after tragedy..she is an awesome lady ..she doesn't realise ..but its her that gave me this inner strength and all my witty humour..behind closed doors ..my mum is an angel ..she is a free babysitter for my two sisters children , she is the only one out of her sisters that actually cares for her mother who is very elderly and a handful..while her sisters are away enjoying holidays abroad my mum is here doing what shes always done ..putting everybody else first ..so she says i'm a godsend ..NO MUM your the godsend and i love you too ..lol to all the stars and back again.
MY ONLY WISH ..would be to see you have at least one dream come true..xxxx | |

Decadent Some Days
15 December 2005
Pain and suffering
takes a world
and steals a soul
Those moments
never to forget
yet unable to feel whole
This decadence of yesteryear
those trials of tribulation
An adversity to combat
not known if tomorrow
would be a day of celebration
Just to be alive
to know you are there
Just to know you did survive
of a world in command
never quite that place in being fair

“Friends”
16 December 2005
Sheltered inside a bond of hurt
wrapped inside a cocoon
Unable to be with friends
then television held some in zoom
Those girls called Courteney
or Jennifer by name
Or was it Elle and Joey
who were much to acclaim
As to Phoebe and her foe
unlike that of Chandler Bing
What was it they were to truly bring
Rachel - Monica and Ross
all to love in their own way
Or was it just a story of writers
to entertain as some would say
Six young people, on their own and struggling to survive in the real world, find the companionship, comfort and support they get from each other to be the perfect antidote to the pressures of life. - Friends: A Comedy Television Series based in Manhattan, New York, USA, about 6 young friends, in the struggle to find success and happiness in life.
Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green, Courteney Cox as Monica Geller Bing (also as Courteney Cox Arquette), Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffay, Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani, Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing and David Schwimmer as Ross Geller. With supermodel Elle Macpherson as Janine Lecroix.
A television series created in 1994 [TV-Series 1994-2004] to epitomise the lifestyles of the 1990’s , though the eyes of its 6 stars—in having the working titles of “Across the Hall”, Friends Like Us”, “Insomnia Café” and “Six of One” -to be simply known by its on screen title of “Friends”. A television Comedy / Romance created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman.

A Vision of Love
14 January 1996
It was around midnight
when my eyes fell closed
for just a second or so
when I saw a vision
A young bespectacled woman
sitting on a lawn
grass so green
Isn’t God mean
He showed me my future life
and perhaps also my future wife
for I believe I know this woman
I know that is true
The place I still had to find
Perhaps then I would make her mine
She stood as if to walk with me
like she had once before

I do not write poems - I play with words - write bad grammar and destroy the English
language - and do not care about rules of what a poem is meant or not meant to be - you
get out of one of my words - not the meaning - but the feeling of reading it - start at the
top - read to the bottom and then ponder over the first thought that comes into you mind -
do not try the think what I was thinking about - relate to what you are made to think about
as a result - and how you feel inside - happy, sad, confused - upset -
just take it as it comes
September 17, 2005
Then I've written over 100 of these poem things so far for December 2005
got to keep up the practice

Crazy Horse
16 December 2005
Love was lemon pie
bitter but sweet to try
When poetry was like a peach
to some it was talent less and out of reach
While others could dream
of golden days in the sun
That was if it was not raining
and this day had not been one
What is a poem
what is love at all
No one really does know
because of love they in and out fall
Like to have a heart and soul
all covered in uncooked
scrambled eggs
Hey she looks sexy
and what great legs

Tho' there are no bars
nor conrete nor fences
i am exhiled here in my prison
i have my warden
and guards

i'll never share company in jail
that's when i always hear
over half the worl shares my lot in life

Exhiled in my prison

Bubble Gum Blues
27 November 2005
Some can be funny - others were true
Then there were really bad movies
and chewed gum on the seats
that was left behind and stuck like glue
While there were topics
at times not all there
Because what was the state
of the state fair
Even if this was a movie
made from some guys play
The subject was merry-go-rounds
and that was another in Carousel you'd say
Some can be funny
as comic as can be
But who left their bubble gum here
because I'm stuck to my seat
and cannot get free

| For My Dear Friend Lost after a brave battle with cancer.
Posted: 12/16/2005 2:07:23 PM | Twisted thorns with arms outstretched
scars upon my soul are etched
the mountains we climbed, still hold our pride
no enemy or its aquaintance, allowed inside
two friends we were, we conquered all
never meant to last, it had to fall
the flame struggled to flicker, it began to fade
memories of us , and our teenage days
four little petals appearing in place
they hold your charm, blessed with your grace
each scar i have , i treasure thee
for on my heart you'll always be
memories of you will always remain
Until Elaine , we meet again.
In loving memory of my best friend and her four beautiful girls she was taken from.xxxx | |

Posted: 12/16/2005 7:27:23 PM | Hmm, I just want to "apologize", or something, for the fact that all of my poems are basically about the same subject, for now anyway. I typically write when I feel extreme emotion of some sort, and lately it has been much of the same for me. So, sorry if reading my words gets old, lol :P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Am I wasting my time?
As I sit here and think about you,
Pondering my love for you,
Wondering what you are doing at this very moment…
Am I wasting my time? | |
|
| So ya wanna be a poet?
Posted: 12/16/2005 7:28:21 PM | I want to be yours.
And I am.
But I don’t want just your heart.
I want your hand.
It’s so easy to just slip it into mine.
As you gaze longingly into my eyes.
But I guess it’s just not that easy to change your mind. | |

| For everyone on this thread
Posted: 12/16/2005 7:33:07 PM | Sorry that this is off-topic... but if anyone is feeling particularly philanthropic, I started a thread in the "Dating and Love Advice" area, called "I am in love with my ex, but cannot re-start the relationship now..." I'm thinkin' the title of the thread is pretty self-explanatory, so if you care to read the dilemma and leave some words, I would be ecstatic :)

| My Dear Friend
Posted: 12/16/2005 8:20:25 PM | A friend is someone
who listens and cares,
a friend is someone
who's always there.
A friend brings happiness
that can warm and mend.
I'm glad that I can
call you a friend.
A lot of people have
entered my life,
but one thing remains true...
I've never met a single soul
who has touched my heart like you.
Thank you for being a friend.

How is that

Posted: 12/17/2005 9:52:17 AM | kblgal - never "apologize", for writing or expressiing words and feelings from your heart
Write you heart out if need be and don't give a damn about anyone else in the process
That is what creates 'poetry' - and never be sorry for doing that, if this is your desire
Here's one I composed for Kat (from my Katalist)

Barefoot and Beautiful
06 September 2005
Barefoot and Beautiful
away from shoes on her feet
Happiness a smile to have
exchanging another when you greet
Heaven maid and heaven borne
her toes made free to air
Of a heart beating softly
to rhythms classical to fare
Through trials and understanding
no shoes being required to ware
Even when not all was roses in a jar
as to other moments to bear
Barefoot and Beautiful
away from shoes on her feet
Happiness a smile to have
exchanging another when you greet
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath
set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the
work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."
Ecclesiastes 3: 11 KJV

Eyes to Storm
07 July 2005
Picture this
eyes closed to a storm
Her back not turned
her face a smile sweet
Unnerving
yet unjustified to peace
Each beat of heart
the purr of a cat
Breathing gentle breath
enveloped with soul to breast
Resting upon a hand in gentle caress
through the mind of a drifting sleep
Beside her - he views this inner self
to happiness to have her so near
This life of future being to partake
of two in haven united to share
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them
of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18: 19-20 KJV
