Thaw

sticks and stones can hurt as not hearing from you does too

THAW Winter winds Freeze you in My mind Waiting for a thaw Day and Days go Watching the ice flows Down to the oceans go  Build a fire Warm your heart Think of just only one On our banks With hope anew Above geese form As this old man  Dreams on For a note Or a call Watching ice flow See two robins necking This old man smiles Hoping to hear  Your thaw

The Will Of HEAVEN

Does HEAVEN truly exist? Why are there so many creatures suffering in the secular world?

All creatures are the will of HEAVEN. It started from the ancient time to elongate till now. How much can the earthling gain or lose? HEAVEN commands it all. Does HEAVEN truly understand all kinds of distress? Why does HE not to guide the earthling? Why do the ordinary people never obtain the basic request? We are merely a simpleton or a dreamer. Why does HE not let us move a half step further? Can HE show us a tiny mercy...

Silently

To be reborn once more.

I am left to loving you silently From a distance shore Where seagulls soar Waves crashing  Salty mist on my lips West where our sun falls Our place where hearts blend My soul screams your name  My heart reaches out To hold you once more Taste your honeyed lips Soul burn red hot Turning to ash  To be reborn once more On our distance shore  Loving you silently  As the seagulls soar

The Bench

A young man learns that life isn't always what we have planned, but what we are given

Any time of year in the south is normally hot, but the summer I turned eighteen, was as if Hades himself had come up from his depths and brought with him the skin scorching, water vaporizing torment to lay to waste on our little South Carolina town. I remember that summer with vivid detail as it was the summer my life would be drastically changed forever, and find a different course then what I’d mapped out for it as a ki...

The Hardest Decision

I hope you will understand

To me you are wonderful So kind and caring Who would do anything to help a friend I think of you as my rock and confidant Which is why this is so very hard And hurts so much Its been brought to my attention That I am holding you back Restricting your freedom And monopolizing your time Sure this could be pure jealousy But just in case it is not, I made a decision. I've always been told That if you love something You need t...

  I picture youdressed all in whitea veil on your head and unspoiled as a freshly fallen snowdrift. My heart catches in my throat,As I gaze at your ethereal silhouettethrough the Vaseline glazeof tears in my eyes. Frozen in place and not daring to move.Afraid I might wakeand find everything has vanishedfrom this dream place. Dare I tempt my heart with these images?Stoke such longing and drink so deeply from the fountain o...

The tales of a little boy and a little girl and the flowers

Love is shown in your deed, it is not just shown in your words. Love is something you do, .......

Tale 1 A little boy was fond of a little girl who was studying next class. They lived in a beautiful small town. Then, the little boy picked the wildflowers on the roadside for the little girl after school every day. The little girl was very glad to have the gift. She always showed a lovely smile on her face when the little boy handed her the flowers. He always blushed with a chuckle, whenever he saw her lovely smiling fa...

Life Blooms in the Desert

Rising up on particles of light

An arts and crafts coatrack got hung on the wall today. It's been waiting for months. Waterproof covers for exterior electrical outlets were purchased and installed yesterday. One more thing done.The day before some grocery shopping was completed. He felt up to eating again.An endobronchial ultrasound was performed on Wednesday. The results should be good.Little by little, more and more, the strength returns. Needing to w...

The time will come for me to draw my final breath,A day which yet my faint hearted soul would deny,The day when I will have to take my last goodbye,To face alone the dreaded moment of my death,But in the midst of doubt a flame of hope burns bright, That beyond the horizon of this mortal sphere,A better life awaits when we cross that frontier,And pass through death into a place of wondrous light.And so a sudden glimpse of...

In Memory Of Those Who Have Gone Before.

Some thoughts on the recent Manchester bombing that claimed so many innocent lives.

Hello, I'm Saffie and I'm just eight years old.I hope you'll forgive me if I don't make much sense,But I'm a bit confused just at this momentAnd I don't quite understand what's going on.Mum and Dad had promised me something special,A really nice treat for my birthday present,And I jumped for joy when they told me the newsAbout the tickets for the Ariana gig.We got a train from Preston to Manchester,Just Mum, my sister and...

My Heart's True Love

Written for and dedicated in loving memory to my beautiful Angel Face, Katy

Kind and caring, sweet and fair;With gorgeous blue eyes and long flowing hair;A heart of gold, through and through;Loving to all, pure and true;My gift from God sent on angels' wings;Never questioned the unfairness of so many things;Always so hopeful, come what may;She held onto that hope 'til her dying day;Now she's in Heaven with God above;My daughter, My Angel Face,My heart's true love.           

I believe in nightmares that consume by day, leaving one bitterI am wide awake, yet it’s only my regrets I see clearerI walk alone in a tunnel I was promised would be littered with glitterI see no light exude, of course that excludes, my hope’s last glimmer.I was told the future belongs to the youthfulI now suspect it might not have been truthful"I should have faith and that my future is bright" they sayI even hear it ech...

In the grim back alleys of the city,Mean streets devoid of all signs of pity,Amid the piles of decaying refuseAnd slimy pools of darkly noxious ooze,Frequented only by the scuttling ratsAnd noisome tribes of scabby feral cats;Here, slumped in doorways, human flotsam lies,Just filthy piles of rags crawling with flies.In such surroundings, one would not expectTo find evidence of beauty’s rare spark,Yet with more careful eye...

Smitten

I await your return ..

Like a foolish little schoolboySmitten by his first loveI find myself waiting each dayIn the hope, I'd hear from youBut you're never thereExcept in my lonely headStrange voices that whisper to meTelling me bad thingsMy heart feels emptinessOn those long, lonely nightsWithout hearing from youI believe you have forgotten meJust to hear from youBrings a smile upon these lipsA warmth that glows deep insideUntil then I can onl...
