Premium Member What Dreams Are Made Of

Fears and tears and fantasy
Things we feel but cannot see
Things we hope to someday do
Being in love with you-know-who

At everything we are the best
If you’re a man, then there must be sex
People we haven’t seen in years
In some we face our wildest fears

Some may be in black and white
They can come in shades of day or night
Some we are glad to wake up from
Others we wish were never done

Deep desires; insecurities
Our dreams are made up of all of these
But this you know and you know for sure
By falling asleep you will make some more

Premium Member Beautiful Sunrise - the Whitney Style

~Beautiful  Sunrise~
( Whitney  Double  )


Sunrise shines
Appears again
Spreads around
Cover mountains
Sea,  above
Clouds softly pass
A band of seagulls  fly high

The air's cool
And the sun's warm
Delightful
Wonderful spring
Warms my heart
Songbirds sings
His love shines upon my face.

Unleash From Within

18th & 19th February 2012

Weary, drained spent, shattered,
Deep inside, many of us are spattered & battered.
Oddled once joyous hearts now beat all tattered,
Happiness to the heart is what always mattered.

Delayed, late, belated, in life arrives somber,
Dark, dull, drab, dingy, macomber,
Dismal, solemn, melancholy, lugubrious,
These recur within and indigenous.

I decree to me and myself 
To
Unleash from within

Unleash from within me the power of choice,
To take a chance on change and rejoice.

Unleash from within the power to give,
and forget and forgive.

Unleash from within the power of trust,
Work on the “t” or the relationship will rust.

Unleash from within the power to listen,
But not lose your voice or happy face that glistens.

Unleash from within the belief,
That something wonderful will happen today and will be a big relief.

Unleash the power not to criticize yourself,
And see for yourself what happens when you appreciate yourself.

Unleash from within the power to
Love
Learn 
Laugh 
.
Unleash from within,
Unleash from within……………
The beginning is the hardest but is life’s secret cotter pin………..

Premium Member War and Peace

He comes to shake         the foundations of the earth
the work of every hand                   of man to prove
to punish the unjust            and expose sin
and those who hate righteousness           he will remove
 
He has sent the call           into all existing lands
that men should seek peace            and it pursue
to separate            the wheat and tare
and expose the hidden things         men do
 
To close every mouth          that speaks a lie
uncover every            thought of hatred done
he has freely offered           you a life of truth
but will not spare            to scourge when they come
 
For the stories told in time      are now fixed
and what is written in its scroll          now firmly set
he will open them       for his kings to judge
and those who have found mercy              their sins forget
 
Those appointed to be Kings         will take their station
they will rule with Christ                     for a thousand years
subject to the rule of God         is every nation
no war will there exist           or the inclement of fears
 
For though the promise           seems long in coming
all the signs are             made visable by light
raise your eyes oh Israel                   your God comes judging
and will reward those                who have walked in right
 
Be reconciled in heart           to seek the truth
that who you are              you come to understand
You are called to love truth             and your brother
until the peace of God           lives in the land
 
The trumpets blast            call the armies to their war
the winged ones ride               the winds of wrath to charge
and poured out is the fury              of his chalice
the cup of violence        is deep and large
 
For all governments of man     are chains to slavery
their aim to lift themselves            and you to rule
but Christ's intent           is to lift you from this knavery
that you might not          become the fires fuel    
 
So make your peace         and seek his mercy now
for when this time arrives         will be too late
though undeserved the offer         of forgiveness
the price will be too high             if delay you wait

Premium Member Whatcha Bin Smokin' Boy

Marshmallow dreams, puffy white clouds
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Get back to reality for crying out loud
Whatcha bin smokin' boy

Peace on the planet, first time in history
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Reason you're acting like this is a mystery
Whatcha bin smokin' boy

People loving people no matter their race
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Got a big smirk on this time weathered face
Whatcha bin smokin' boy

Republicans and Democrats agreeing on stuff
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Totally blown away sitting here in the buff
Whatcha bin smokin' boy

Now hang on a minute, there must be a way
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Though men have failed forever and a day
Whatcha bin smokin' boy

Call me a dreamer, there's hope in my heart
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Let's all set our sights on a shiny new start
Start smokin' peace and joy!

Lifes Journey

You know its so short lived but do we not think or realise
Who gives it a second thought, it's gone before your eyes
It sounds cynical your born, you live, you die, end of story
One frowns but guess it's part of the cycle of life’s journey

Though I would still question what about the in-between
What’s ones intension we ask our self’s what dose it mean
You know I was once told that time, it will wait for no man
Go with the flow, whinge and whine, or do the best you can

With obstacles to tackle, herldes to jump ,bridges to cross
At times there’s miracles, theirs hope and too, love and loss
What a drag, if not enjoyed, it's endured, where is the rapture
A zigzag, getting annoyed or bored, moments we try to capture

There's no straight path in this life, it's like one side or the other
Makes you laugh or cry at times it's rife , so much too discover
But gone so fast, like your picture taken then faded into obscurity  
A touch of a button, a flash, I guess it's just apart of life's journey





WITH THIS I WAS TRYING TO DELVE IN TO THE MEANING OF LIFE LIE SORT OF THING
GOT LOST AND BORED WITH IT FINALY BROIGHT TO AN END I STARTED TIS JANUARY 2012

Premium Member Through All - the Couplet Style

~Through  All~
 ( Rhyming Couplet )


 Without God, I don't know where for sure now I'd be
 He sends me so many blessings that's clear to see
 He gives His unconditional love today and forever
 He grants me His forgiveness, He'll abandon me never

 No matter what I do He always sees me through all
 There are some days when it's so hard to stand tall
 But with Jesus by my side through everything I can go 
 Because His love and grace helps me more each day grow

 With God nothing is really impossible at all, this with certainty I do know
 He gives me love, hope peace and strength, and in my heart His love just flow
 He helps me see better when things go bad and I'm feeling down and blue
 I am so happy and thankful that I know  Jesus as my Lord and  Saviour too.

Premium Member Stranded All Alone

I was left on a island called lonely and despair.
  Utter loneliness consumed  my whole being.
  No one could understand my state. I lived this
  way for years and years.Until one day I met a
 handsome stranger that  understood me very well.
  " Sir how do you know about such loneliness"?
  " Mam I too live on the island of lonliness and 
    despair". "
  " Where have you been all my life"?
  "I come from a wealthy family and I took the
   private jet and crashed here. I don't know 
   how long I've been here. I  just remembered 
   who I was recently".
  "Do you think your family is looking for you?
 " They probally are but I don't know how long
    I've been stranded here. What is today's date"?
  "Feb 8, 2016".
 " Oh my I left Dec 23, 2012. WoW! It's nearly four 
  years. How did you get here?
 "I was born here. My family and the
 rest of the village got ill. I don't understand why
 I survived".
"That is such a heartbreaking story.I feel your pain.
 But know this, from this day on you will never be
 alone again".
 I started to cry as if a dam had broken.
"Come lean on my shoulder while you cry.You are the
most beautiful creature I have ever seen.I came from
 a place with money and I was still lonely. All of that 
vanished the moment I laid eyes on you".As the tears
stopped and I looked in his has handsome face I 
knew I would  never be alone again.Our hearts and soul 
were connected and our love will go on from this life to
the next. Love washed over me on that day and I was 
complete.

From Tomboy To Girl

As a youngster, I looked like a boy…there was nothing girly to be seen
I could run topless without comment until the age of about fifteen.
I could climb the highest tree, jump the highest fence
I even dislocated the shoulder of the man teaching me self defense…
I could run forever eating the wind - but was never really fast 
That didn’t matter in any event, I was the one that none could out last.
I could dive and swim from the heights to the depths
I could do so much and never lose my breath.
Then I turned eleven and things started on a decline
I fell out of a tree head first… and it was definitely not by design.
I hit the ground, but remember it not, apart from all the screaming
From thirty foot I took my dive because of too much leaning
They all knew I was the only one able to climb that tree
A mother asked me to save a kite that had cost about 50p
I remember thinking that branch was thin and would break
I was right but for the mother, this risk I did take…

It caught me out and that was when I learnt there was one thing I could not do,
And that was fly like a bird, or float like a butterfly, believe me, I really tried too.
My neck was broken when I landed there and hit the ground, 
I remember my toe was the only thing hurting when I came round…
But then a terrible thing happened… and I turned into a girl
My tomboy escapades were gone - it happened in a whirl
I hung on as long as I could but things began to change
One thing was sure at this time… I was never mistaken for a boy again.

Premium Member You Are Someone I Cannot Love

Lenina, I cannot deny I was attracted to you.
Knowing you has brought me elation.
You appeared to have feelings for me that were true.
However, this relationship must have a cessation.
I do not understand the ways of this civilization.

Your kind of love has filled me with consternation.
What I used to know is what I have missed.
Our kind of love is different on the reservation.
How could you fall in love with a non-conformist?
For these reasons, please cross me off your list.

I cannot accept these promiscuous ways.
I was hoping for you to love only me.
What strange bedfellows we keep nowadays.
Life in this London appears as an anomaly.
From all of these irregularities, I must flee.

Based on the novel “Brave New World” by the late Aldous Huxley
