RETREAT TO HEED OUR HONEST DEEDS

Two old oak trees weathered by winds and rain
with fallen leaves, branches and toughened bark
to shield a core of grandeur, and sustain
the wisdom borne to see the light from dark.
Two noble men aware of twilight time
both face evil world with...

My darling enigma, my dove   
You’re the epitome of my love
Your smile shines at me pearly white      
Pale skin shines and glints in the light       
Silken locks, obsidian flow
Eyes just like ice,...

did a lot of mighty fine thinkin’.

Though born in a cabin dirt poor,

he’d rise to free the slaves with a civil war.

" Exult O shores, and ring O bells!       
But I with mournful tread, 
Walk the deck my Captain lies, 
Fallen cold and dead."(Final lines from Walt Whitman's "O Captain My Captain")

My hero, oh how wonderful it would have been

I was asked to write an honest portrayal of my life-
I could say I am a daughter, mother and wife.
My days are full of so much more than just those things-
I spend time sketching portraits, playing guitar and I sing.

My past is full of such...

I want to be honest, fruitfully honest
But now in pain, I waver
I would much rather live in the dark hallows of my mind
Where honesty is blurred in visions of imagination
Blurred in a world where lies are often welcomed
Lies often unfurl laces of truths
I guess I...

My word is my Gold 

No ifs nor buts attached

A spade’s a spade 

A joker’s a clown in a circus charade


I think carefully before speaking out

Knowing my feelings maybe bias 

I censor my mouth  


If need be

A small patch of flowers, a mountain top glade
slapped into twirls of magenta by cold rain~
voiceless but pleading for the purity of truth
to be taken by {a} tender into the beating of dawn

In sundream they'll play,black butterly and fawnheart
tempering time untill dusk makes the crows...

Shocking as it may seem to believe,
I dislike iTunes Christian and gospel genre.
The only explanation I can fathom,
Is that all its songs sound the same to me.

My preference is hip hop and pop,
Lecrae and Andy Mineo are my tops.
I do like Ariana when listening to...

To lover,my soul
opens inward so much pain
woosh clean

Shared, now free
not lost,understood,woosh
broken bits and tears

flow, woosh did not burn
the man,the past, no more fear.
I was I am still...

She is a willing listener 
Imagine being able to confide without fear 
Many people have told her their stories 
Private thoughts are kept confidential 
Likeability factor is at an all-time high 
Exceptional way of not giving you advice 

Her willingness to listen is appreciated 
Openness...

honest mum it wasn't me
I didn't take a nibble of the cake
it was just as I walked into the kitchen
I saw something move....mum....I did ...
was the biggest mouse you ever saw,
it was stealthily moving towards the cake
whiskers twitching, nose in the air
I watched amazed
then it...

I feel so tired… not with my work.. or my life…
I am so tired with my own thoughts own heart..
I would really like a few minutes break at last..
I have searched the whole world for a honest friend…
A friend to be with me always.. To...

^As I got up out of my bed today,
I had a thought that won’t go away.
I looked out the window to see sunny skies,
I´m sure that the smile, showed in my eyes.
So I’ll start today with joy not with sorrow,
Because we are not promised tomorrow.

As...
