The Magical Nature

How much time will you be in room?
 Please come, play with us and bloom 
Behind the bars, there's a chirping bird,
 Sleeping still, have you not heard?

The gentle air through the breeze, 
Occuring from moving of trees
 Forests looking beautiful by its blow
 "Hey You, focus it's showing its glow".

Everybody likes the rain, 
And go for a dance on the plain
 It fills the ponds and rivers with cheer 
Making the weather a little quiver.

So let's go and break the boundary,
 Leaving behind each doubt and quandary
 With courage and fears and spirit wild, 
Will face each challenge calm and mild.

Motion as the victorious struggle unfolds. 

crafting tunes from their swirling vitality.
As the sun shines, aesthetically pleasing earth. 
Such vibrant hues, a chromatic surreal display 

surreal
Our land was filled
loveliness was redeemed, hostage
explicitly crafted for concealment
surreal evil force dwells in
We shall prevail on them
So that grace guise

Premium MemberLoved Beyond Measure Or Boundary

Loved beyond measure or boundary 
That's my definition of you
So deeply engrained, so profoundly 
It cannot be other than true
My mind likes to drift and consider
Just what it would be if it was
And should that day come to fruition
I'll be ready for you when it does

Timeless

Time has no boundary here
In between worlds, it transforms as I am

Some days I see it run; 
There I stand still, awake
Perched on the mountain swaying

Other days I see it crawl; 
Whispering to me in secrecy
I begin my descent through the void

Backwards the clock turns;
Allowing me to sleep in contemplation
Swirling all the pieces into a dream

Time sometimes grows rigid;
Anxiously awaiting my arrival
The keys dangling in my face

Many times I have seen it slip;
Beguiled by the foolery that is hidden
I find joy within the small miracles

Lesser times it skips a beat;
Momentary lapses of memory come
Forgetting where I left my vessel

Then time heals the disconnection;
And I, once again, step into the clearing
Strengthened by the flames

Premium MemberBoundary Lines

The boundary lines draw out a pleasant place;
The grass is always greener where you are.
By day your word provides the sweetest taste;
By night when I lie down, you're never far.

With you at my right hand and in control,
Secure, my heart is glad and I rejoice.
For you will not abandon me to Sheol;
Blessed is the sheep who knows his shepherd's voice.

But when my eyes perceive a far off place,
And cause my heart to wander, feet to roam,
By steps and turns, you help me to retrace;
By whisperings, you softly call me home.

Lord, keep me in your tether, at your side,
And joyful in your presence, I'll abide.

(from Psalm 16)

I'd waited for you now forever,
capturing my embrace between 
your grasps, wandering about 
solace and peace, we'd shattered 
the universe, gathering seashells,
 
of compassion, gravely I glanced 
beneath me to a calmer coast, 
heaven sent almost, testing 
hidden treasures, my mind 
steadfast while my heart exploded, 

beyond the essence of unneeded,
gifts I'd bestowed, quietly devouring
haste in an untimely place, why
I'd succumbed to an emptiness
feeling trapped, above all else,

tampering with the needful things,
where love and lust seemed, 
to danced right on my toes,
an achiness, called pain withered
throughout time, a rapture of trust,

collided leaving me, room to roam
a rather cleaver passion hints,
of loss removed, replaced malice,
restoring my sense of purity 
and grace, glorifying self love,

creating boundaries of you and I
while in love, we soared differently 
on different clouds, abundantly so,
joining one another, on the ocean
shore clinging to forever once more.

Boundaries

I have to let you go
I have to say goodbye
You say you don't want to lose me
But I can't sit and watch from the sidelines

This scenario is quite different
From the toxic one you were in before
A relationship that's blossoming 
Seems to have much more in store 

So, as you see where it might lead you
I'll be taking time away to recover
Can't fault you for spreading your wings
Just can't watch you love another

Love Is Worth Crossing Boundary Lines

You say I didn’t give you your fair shake
I used your heart and I was a fake
You say I never gave and left a big wake
That’s what you see, but that’s not my take

I wanted to love you and oh I tried
But you pushed me away with every stride
Every little thing had to be your way
And if I didn’t comply you’d always complain 

I gave you love as best I could 
You couldn’t accept my love for you
Maybe with the next one you’ll realize
Love is worth crossing boundary lines

You said we were fine if I didn’t cross the line
But no matter what I did, I crossed it every time
The rules always changed depending on the day
I really did love you, but I’m not into games

I gave up trying, I couldn’t be perfect
I loved you better than you deserved it
But it wasn’t enough to match what you expected
So now it’s over because you say you’re neglected 

I gave you love as best I could 
You couldn’t accept my love for you
Maybe with the next one you’ll realize
Love is worth crossing boundary lines

Boundary

the boundary you have made to surround yourself, 
will never give discomfort to the people who love you.

Instinctive Freedom

Do I need to break free from this nook I care?
Where the care and love of my mother prevail
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear

In time I shrieked into a craddle in tear
The spacious world during which I care and hail
Do I need to break free from this nook I care?

For freedom I crawled from the craddle I care
On to the wondrous world of life like a snail
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear

Bounded in a homestead so great as a fair
Till longing to free started pulling my tail
Do I need to break free from this nook I care?

Striding from my house to the world in despair
In far distant lands I wandered for a trail
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear

How large the boundary that we set and care
Longing for the freedom will raise from your jail 
Do I need to break free from this nook I care?
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear.

This Frail Membrane Is Our Boundary

My room is warm and comforting and light
This feels  like kindness , brings my skin delight
I remember  being held in loving arms
And soothed by songs  as sweet as any balms

Let the lamplight run across  the eyes
Let them soften to a wider gaze
Let the hair  be free from sprays  too strong
Let the skin enclose us  softly, strong

We can’t deny the skin is often pricked
Or beaten by a parent who’s too strict
More fragile than a leaf from any tree
This frail membrane  is our boundary

Floating into sleep in  reverie
I lose myself  while God imagines me

A Jigsaw of Life

Turning pieces face up we begin
picking out the straight edges.
Working to establish the margin
we fix the boundary, the outer edge 
from where we follow patterns and lines 
gradually revealing a picture,
framed to capture a scene that outlines
an observation frozen in time.

In life I begin from the centre
discovering what will fit with me,
interlocking, exploring outwards,
growing patterns that become my life.
I will find without need for margins
how I'm formed with you in a design 
beyond the limits of a boundary.

I do not see the world through square eyes.
Our horizons are not limited,
together with others we connect
and exchange, joined to an adventure
that reveals what it means to belong
to be held by the Other – embraced.

But the puzzle is never complete:
later in life if I'm losing it,
puzzling over faces and places,
finding memories no longer fit,
I shall need that boundary, edge pieces
containing me among those I love.

Then when all is done and I am gone
it will be time to gather my pieces
in a box, archived yet unbounded – 
unbounded that I may live as part
of God's eternal jigsaw of life.

Beyond That Boundary Wall

Thinking of pastures and the playground,
Animals and the birds around.
Dying to meet his friends.
Who have been declared unlucky,
For not getting a chance to study.

With no love and no hate expression,
With a notebook and a pencil in possession.
He is lost in his dream world.
Of handsfree cycling and hoop rolling,
Of laughing, jumping and tree climbing.

He is scribbling hard and even harder,
To make himself even more smarter.
Concentrating on those unknown facts
Which seem to be meaning less. 
And of course strange and pointless.

He always enjoyed playing schools'
When in school he hated those rules.
How he wishes to drop that pencil
And tell them that he wanted to play 
With the toys made of wood and clay.

He is trying to play with a number
But seems to be lost in a slumber.
His heart beats beyond that Boundary Wall
Pretending to be happy in a class
Thinking of the exam he has to pass.
