Sweet Becca Lucas told me recently
My silliness makes her roar
Confided though, if given the choice
Prefers my serious poems more
My comfort zone has always been humour
Find humour in almost all things
A cockeyed look at this sad old world
Every morning I'm ready to sing
Till Becca confided, I was unaware
My serious poems made a impact
After all these years on this planet of ours
In life, experienced most aspects
Just chug along now in my own domain
Hoping to improve the outcome
So hearing a comment like Becca just made
It made my old heartstrings hum
Thank you Becca for your thoughtfulness

It's the hush of morning calling me,
the subtle cacophonic echo awakening
discord on windy hallowed eaves
of distant chimes and church bells ringing;
December singing in my ears
Christmas hymns and olden melodies
that plague the sound waves endeared
with old lost stories and memories;
the heartstrings drawn together over time
stitching threads of encounters amassed
sutures of heartaches and heartbeats primed
quilting the tears and laughter passed;
some toss and turn beneath the covers
blanketed in its thermal warmth and dreams
grasping at midnight hopes discovered
waiting patiently anxious for the scenes;
if only the memories could return
of father, mother, uncles, aunts galore
grandparents, cousins gathering in turn
waiting on Christmas to greet us at the door.
There’s a tale of happiness inside my wearisome mind
I sail ashore in your heartstrings — sounds more than kind
Thanks for the handkerchief for my wondrous tears
I’ve been weeping cheer for many horrendous years
The tale of tribulation comes settling in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Again, I’ve been searching for you in the dust
In the dust storm, I’ve lost almost all our trust
I have been settling underneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Beneath the Earth’s radiant wreath
Soaring bright with wanderlust, wanderlust
I have been settling beneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Underneath north’s musical sound, I breathe
Happiness is a must, hopefulness equals trust
There’s a tale of cheerfulness in the wintry air
I am snowed under by your autumn skyfall…
I must be there in your arms of merry despair
Drifting away asunder and feeling numb through it all
The tale of tribulation comes settling in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Again, I’ve been searching for you in the dust
In the dust storm, I’ve lost almost all our trust
I have been settling underneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Beneath the Earth’s radiant wreath
Soaring bright with wanderlust, wanderlust
I have been settling beneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Underneath north’s musical sound, I breathe
Happiness is a must, hopefulness equals trust
Snowflakes aflame in my eyes of fearlessness…it’s so extravagant
Blowing breezes of bewilderment and it’s a ruthless sorrow oh so elegant
Knowledge overflows into the springs of the lies laid beneath
I am settling with my broken wings of flight way underneath
I’m in the castle of dust…castle of dust…castle of dust…
In my whirling, twirling tombstone of lonely wanderlust…
You’ve gained your trust
In the castle of dust…
You cave in and collide through
The wistful winds of love so true
Oh, can one really blame me
for what is held against my heart
Perhaps it’s not what you may think
not what’s detained or set apart
But rather. sentimental glee
the memories of those I love
I cherish most above all else
for those still here and those above
The strength of steel cannot compare
to heartstrings’ standing, holding fast
For what can test the will of love
no matter age or time that’s passed
So often when the rain does fall
and when in kind, my tears may start
It’s then. that I have but to pause
and feel what’s held against my heart
O HEART
Tracing its symmetrical shape —
claustrophobic butterfly wings,
sensate sweep, with kisses my nape.
The flutter of my heartstrings sing.
Don’t break my wings of happiness,
this bellyache ballerina,
this lavender oil of sweetness,
and lover’s splash of katrina.
O pheromone pulse! Rapturous!
A dance in the mirror with you
— my slipper toes adventurous!
Love’s over the rubicon queue.
Lover , you trace my passion’s heart
— if it dies, it will not restart.

A SENSE OF EMPTINESS
Empty I feel inside,
No emotions left within since you died,
A black blankness that drains
a hollow heart remains.
Shackled to chasmic chains,
Leftover is a shallow shadow, wide..
A null void consumes me,
Sensations have been sucked out, all thoughts flee,
Nothing lingers behind,
Not a word in my mind.
Stark vacuum I find,
A zilch devoid of tender tendency..
A vacancy that tugs
these numb heartstrings, as unfeeling soul chugs.
This life slowly goes on,
But you are dead and gone.
Alone and woebegone,
I struggle with silent shivers and shrugs..
In this vague state, I choke,
Ah! To join you! I await death's one stroke!
To you, my dry tears plead,
In grave's abyss, I bleed,
You're free. I'm not yet freed.
Nothingness envelopes me like a cloak.

Take a deep breath
Sit and slow the pace
Sip a cup of tea
Chill and quieten your mind
Be open and receptive
Poetry is a universe onto its own
Most poems are a doorway to another world
Some will offer wisdom on a plate
Others reach in and play your heartstrings
Some will have rhymes that are divine
Others enchant you with their whimsy
Some will reveal truths that leave you speechless
Others make you work and fill the blanks
Some will trigger vivid memories within
Others flow off your tongue like honey and delight
Some will delve to depths bound to surprise
You’ll discover that poetry truly is a universe onto its own

It's me my wife and Christ
Bonded together three as one always
If I were married today there'd be too chords and one that I would praise
INTERTWINED so divine three would be as one for this I say
The times of marriage are serious it's a big decision in life
To have a husband to have a wife
a covenant bent first on Earth and then in heaven grist
Freedom making decisions bonded together entering into a forever relationship
A man and a wife tethered to the cord of Christ heartstrings become a strong
The lifeline I want my spirit to be United in marriage and Faith
And in the love of the Lord our God for two are better than one
And three are divine when you include Jesus Christ
For falling alone my friend can't help me up
And pity the one who's alone and has no one to help him up
But a cord of three strands is not quickly broken

Ecclesiastics 4:09 10, 12
[Verse 1] In the shadows of the midnight glow, A modern witch, with secrets to bestow, Teaching past regrets to fly, With potions brewed from years gone by. Channeling the moon, incantations thrumming, Spells of wisdom, the next generation's humming.
[Chorus] Hex the ex, with a flick and a twist, Candle flames flicker, hope's not lost in the mist. Heartstrings pulling, like the tides of the deep, Casting out demons from the love that we keep.
[Verse 2] Gather 'round, young souls of the night, Learn from the shadows, let your spirits take flight. Weaving tales of love that's gone awry, Learning to dance, and learning to cry.
[Chorus] Hex the ex, feel the power ignite, Shatter the memories that haunt in the light. With every curse, I break every bond, A bitter sweet symphony, of love that’s gone beyond.
[Bridge] Letting go is a spell I must cast, The chains of the past are fading so fast. No more bitterness, the smoke starts to clear, Moving on from the echoes I hear,
[Chorus] Hex the ex, with laughter and tears, Turning the page into brighter years. Forgive and forget, the magic I seek, In the light of the dawn, I finally feel free.
[Outro] So raise your wands, young hearts that ignite, For every witch knows the power of light. With lessons and laughter, we’ve come to release, Letting go of the past, we can finally find peace.
After two days of drama
Of pacing up and down
Looking for her nest
Looking for her eggs
Looking so confused
Looking all around
So imagine my pain
Looking out at her again
Just sitting where her eggs once were
I truly felt so sad for her
she was perplexed and puzzled
she was looking very muddled
For she sat just where her nest had been
Looking all around her
I went to bed ~ tears in my heart...
Awakened by the blackbird
his joyous song went on and on
As stumbling out of bed
to my balcony I did head
To see her moving bits for nesting
sat amongst it she was resting
and my heartstrings pulled again…
On returning from my walk
taking toast and coffee with me
I sat upon my balcony
for the morning sun was calling
as a brand new day was dawning
What was that I spied
a trick of the light
I cannot believe it
it cannot be right
For there it stood
just by her side
the shiniest
brownest
most precious
EGG
I jumped for joy
I whooped
I cried
For this morning’s miracle
I am waxing lyrical...
Written today ~ 26th May 2020
after losing her nest with 3 eggs in the night before it was truly a miracle to see another nest with another egg– gosh my nerves won’t take much more…
