I am grateful for all those people…
who have the courage, the fortitude…the might…
even in the darkest times
to fill their world with light.
Good morning bookstore owner,
here my new book is a loaner.
It is a must read,
it will turn your young readers head.
It is about silly yellow ducks not red,
shaking their feathers and counting ahead.
The kids will love this fun book,
fill your shelf so they can take a look.
-Take a peek at the gentle soul you created
-you took away all the sorrow with your angelic smile
-stopped all my shaking with your small warm hands
-the warmth you gave me feels like a home I never knew I had
-I sure am a lucky guy
-I only want to kiss you
-I only want to touch you
-I only want to love you
-I only want to gaze upon you
-I only want to hold you
-I only want to give you all my attention only you, just you and always you
-you’ve created a space in my heart that’s yours alone
-if you ever find yourself lost come and find me
-no one else could ever fill or reach your space in my heart
-my heart is yours and yours alone be proud of that
-no matter what happens, that space will always belong to you
Am I the one to blame when you come to the realization that you can no longer stay?
Because I know I make everything complicated when I tell you I want to know all of it.
Tell me about your day and what you saw; did you go out and have fun or do anything at all?
What colors did you wear and did you buy anything new? Did you accidentally run into somebody that you knew?
What did you say and what did you eat? Did you come up with any ideas you think are neat?
Tell me the things that you think are stupid because I promise you, I’ll be happy that I knew it.
Tell me the good, the bad, the worries and thoughts. Tell me it all so I know what I have got.
I need to know the details of everything big or small because that’s what I expect when I give somebody my all.
Maybe that’s the problem with me. I want too much communicating.
I think I would make it stop if I could because I ruin everything I have that has potential to be good.
I’m so deep in my mind that I sometimes get lost. I beg for somebody to understand what this costs.
Because I’d physically hand over my thoughts if only I knew how and I’d ask for yours in return because I’m empty now.
Conceded to what the Doctor said
Said needed to squat over my head
Except for that Gecko
He just heard an echo
Said need to feed your Head more Un-Lead...
Lead...
lead...
leaded!
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines
I conjure up an emotion or sing a song
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines..
Should I drop a meme , a gif or stickers
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines …
Do I send a picture or a trending video or reel
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines…
Tell you a story or ring in a favourite memory
How does one fill the silence if not with awkward lines??
Silence is scary like some unknown is calling
Silence can be enlightening but not when I am craving
Wanting to know your thoughts and wonders
So forgive me …Oh and just let me be seen ..
if I do end up filling silence with awkward lines!!
For Valentines Day Senryu Contest
my heart longs for you
words can’t express how I feel~
fill in blank your name
COME FILL ME AGAIN
Touching the heartstrings and well written
A melody so smooth and hardly energetic
For Annie, it was a song of love so poetic
By John Denver, who was clearly smitten
Amidst the snowy Rockies, in monochrome
A name change reflected his favourite state
Fame took a little time, coming not too late
As eventually country roads took him home
Inspiration came while in Aspen, Colorado
That song he became so anxious to record
D suspended fourth, that distinctive chord
Now in death, he is sadly incommunicado
What!!!
Write a MAN-ifesto
Would that not offend
Those writing a WOMAN-ifesto
LOVE can conquer all, they say
EVIL cannot prevail
LIFE is sweet when lived this way
FILL, with wind, the sail
LIFT me from this darkness, the darkness where I drown...
TILL, floating, burdens fall from me, none can weigh down.
LITE and free, oh let it be, where 'ere love can be found.
INTOXICATION
Let me be drunk in the aura of your presence
Let me be intoxicated in the beauty of your holiness
Enchant me Oh Spirit of God
Come enchant me Oh Spirit of Jesus
Let me be drunk… not with wine of this world
But with the Wine of your Spirit
Intoxicated by your presence
Becoming a fire that burns brightly
As I become a change agent to my world
The best friend you can ever imagine
A gist partner that can never be compared
A senior partner that must be acknowledged
The only one who urges me to worship and pray rightly
The shepherd of my soul
My lifeline to heaven
My number one witness bearer
The overseer of the Church
Let me be drunk in the aura of your presence
Sweet Holy Spirit
Intoxicate me with your love, I cant get enough of you
That I might worship with you
That I might commune in your presence
Holy Spirit flow through my soul.
Possible TV advertising for a certain kind of "donation" center…
or for guys who might be looking for "gig" employment…with apologies, dear readers...this one's a bit "naughty".
If your bills are getting to you,
The IRS is trying to screw you,
Jobs are few and far between,
And you need to make some green,
You've already sold your hair,
And you've no more blood to spare,
Come where a wank
Will put cash in the bank.
I filled the pool today
don’t get excited
it’s not Olympic sized
it’s plastic, three foot in circumference
a pool for my dogs
Less than an hour later
I see a bunch of flying things
swarming the water
faeries? bees? wasps?
they are thin and fast
I walk closer
some glide over my head
my dog is fascinated
attempts to catch them
they are too fast for him
dragonflies – dozens of them
a colony of them;
they must have been waiting for me to fill the pool
Fill My Cup
In sorrow You fill my Cup
And it overflows
And in my grief, You come
To comfort me
When I'm down in the valley
You make mountains rise
And in your great love, Oh Lord,
I will abide.
So fill my Cup with sadness, Lord,
Let it overflow
Because You are teaching me
What I need to know
You Fill my heart with laughter
To ease the ache inside
And in your great truth oh Lord
I will abide
Fill my Cup with pain, Lord,
Let the tears fall down
So one day I'll understand
This joy all around
In sorrow I bow
But in joy I'll arise
And in your great mercy, Lord,
I will abide
To know the joy of reaching up so high
First we must walk through the valley
And climb the mountain side
And in our great Lord
We must abide, we must abide.
