Coronation
By Michelle Morris

I wonder how King Charles feels
On the eve of his coronation
Disquiet or fears about
Letting down our nation?
Or perhaps calm and optimism
Joy, peace and happiness?
Confidence and trust
In his coronation being celebrated?
For heavy is the crown
And powerful is the throne
We mark this occasion
The uniting of our home
An historic investiture
A celebration of this moment
Embracing the future plans
To connect us as a country
May God bless our King
And lead him beside still waters
Through every challenge
And every accomplishment
May the crown be lightened
By faith and guidance
May our nation instil pride
In our hearts and minds

NO COMPASS OR ANCHOR
….At sea
also known as my life, I drift.
I dream of wanting to have a
plan but I don’t. Letting down
people, not quite grasping
opportunities.
For I am a
non-commissioned
ensign of a boat in a storm lost
without its compass
or anchor.
I have passion and the drive
however I am fettered to a
chunk of seaweed.
It smells. It rots.
It becomes a part of me.
Oh the distant sunrise of a new day
is so far on the horizon it may as well be a grain of sand.
Small, minuscule, measly and insignificant.
Just like my remains of a past plan
long ago stranded on a desert island.
At sea also known as my life,
I drift….
i see with the eyes of my soul,
i love in depth in the same exact way,
we're always fighting ourselves not to look at others in this particular way,
we can't see past mistakes, forgiveness means letting down your guard,
this tiny room we've sheltered inside of us leaves us maimed and scarred,
what if we cleaned out all the baggage, and the resentment and anger
disappeared,
the room wouldn't look tiny and sheltered anymore, the floor is now visibly clear,
we've pushed out the old and made room for the new, and learned a lesson in
the same hand,
the things we didn't let go of are now understood, it was all just a part of god's
plan,
we learn from our hurts but he never garantees we'll ever get hurt again,
but the important process we must get taught through all of this is where it first
began,
to pull from within your spiritual strength, family and friends by u to hold your
hand,
to kiss u and hold u and stay close to your side, and help u to get up when u can't
stand,
i've been through incredible amounts of loss, and the people who were loyal
flocked to my side,
for this is where u find true love in your life, this is where your true friendships lie.
Form:
You speak from the depths of your soul,
Of all the things you say you can't let go,
But my sweet loving man, I want you to see,
Opening your heart is actually setting you free,
Revealing instead of holding it inside,
Allowing yourself to release all that you hide,
The pressure that pushes your heart away,
That keeps things hidden away that prevents you from change,
Because let's be honest, change means letting down your guard,
And the ego constantly will fight against your heart,
But once you start to open the door.. the most beautiful thing happens, you start to see more,
You give of your heart, you start to relate,
And then others release their bondage because they see your faith,
Love starts to grow where weeds once lived,
Because you were willing to open your heart and give,
You gave a sense of safety where fear once resides
And in doing so God replaced the fear with love inside,
To give of yourself more, to give again...
Against the fears of this world.. love wins in the end
Maples were first at letting down their leaves they always go first actually.
Sycamore and oak were a day later; both let them go satisfactorily.
Their crispy waiting autumn leaves had been ripe for more than a little while,
But if they did not let maple go first, there would be a frown, not a smile.
Colorful eager leaves cascaded, sprinkled, floated, twisted, danced, and swirled.
They were like exotic Romanian scarf dancers with bound legs unfurled.
The pumpkins and squash sat rolling their jealous uncaring eyes.
They were always in perpetual grumpy moods. No big surprise!
A spider began making her way toward the barn gate.
The knowing farmer tried to stop her, but he was too late.
Her intricate web was already up, as fancy as any lace cloth.
A delicate piece of pure danger for any insect she caught.
From the house wafted delicious pumpkin spice and cinnamon smells
Perky pink nose from leaf pile turned west as by magic spells.
Vole friend warned the mouse, I would not go in there. No way.
The cat had an early lunch, and the mouse learned the hard way.

Don’t get tired
But ride
Spinning never hide
Soul, soar the game blindside
Built equipped like a freight train minimize
Size never be another like me
Dinosaurs extinct can’t stop destiny
Every thing in me released
The beast
Everything in me they’ll see
Grave couldn’t hold science class astronomy
Pass anomaly
Phase graced Tsunami
Covered grounds
Beats by the pound humbly
Hold history
Die empty
Taking everything off the shelf
Plenty left
Plenty to give
Gave a sample snippet still popping pills
Feelings passed the emotions test
Bold took over brought out the best
What rest
Time to get it done
Hold back for what when what is pushing out production
Raising arms letting down hammers
Gather note books pen cameras to capture
Moves never recorded before
Hold down every town wanting more
Score notes sing melodies from heavens door
Pore out painting canvas creative shore
Wave expecting hurricanes covering matters
Been ready
Been gunning down Safari scenes scatter
Splatter sheets of success
What rest the beast bench pressed the test
(Verse 1)
How can I love you,
when you haven't experienced love
How can I believe you
When you don't know how to trust
All you want to do is fuss(fuss)
And keep saying (I)
When I clearly thought it was (us)
Why you have to keep up your guard
Lets love each other it's not that hard
We don't have to part, enjoy this art
That we've drew, you're not by yourself
Baby it's true,that someone out here really love you
Chorus
What do you do,when you trying to beat the odds
Make something work finally letting down your guard
Not afraid to love anymore,
Somehow your fear went out the door
To some of you this may be new
So tell me,what would you do
(Verse 2)
Experiencing the hurt
We've both been through
This makes our bond so unique and true
It draws me closer to you
Dosent make me want to be distant
A love like this didn't know it existed
I missed it, almost
Leave the past in the past
Lets make it to present
Imagine it
Sent from heaven
Its a blessing
An awesome view
No need to renew
So tell me what would you do
(Chorus)
What would you do, when you trying to beat the odds
Make something work, finally letting down your guard
Not afraid to love anymore
Somehow your fear went out the door
To some of you this may be new
So tell me, what would you do
Hook
Make it better
Oohhh through any kind of weather
Do what you got to do
Renew time to renew
Let the past stay in the back
True love makes you stay on track
Love it all embrace it
Except love and face it
There were times you had no clue
So tell me what would you do
Repeat chorus until fades

I've thought long and hard,
it's time for the final change to worthless living;
I'll leave the stress and the hurdles
at home and flee from grieving,
throwing out ideas that are profane and unsound!
My luck depended on the right card...
I was scarred by an invisible sword
being deceived by clever liars,
suddenly letting down the guard!
It's time for the final change to living,
I'm bored, I'm broken going nowhere;
girls want money, jewels, and a good time,
they've drained my credit card in one single night!
I'm walking with empty pockets, except for a dime;
it can't even buy me coffee or beer, am I that smart?
Streets are empty, lights are dim, I turn into a hare...
running faster, trying to get somewhere!
Dressing up, I sprained my both arms,
I was rushing to meet frizzy-haired Sinead,
she had a long affair with crazy Fred;
what comes out of her big mouth is not clean,
foul words make her a proud and elite queen:
I am her puppet, she has many charms!
It's time for the final change to worthless living,
I turn around and start from the beginning;
ah, lust is the worst habit of weak men,
rich guys smile, while poor guys cry;
being humble is not asking anyone for anything,
trusting anybody is a terrible thing to admit!
You learn by living, but merely getting by:
is a meager wish that won't ever benefit!
I hop on the next train breathing hard,
and sitting down I find relief, then a sex pot
stands in front of me, I give up my seat,
" Thank you, sweety. " I look up and smile,
forgetting I'm not a millionaire who just won the jackpot,
I asked her for a date, she looked at me saying,
" It will cost you, I am an elite lady of the night:
is your answer yes or no? " I scratched my head frowning,
" I got robbed before by the same kind, I learned a lot..."
" You are a chauvinist pig talking to me that way, I am a cop! "
Fragile is the pedestal upon which she stands,
like sand through an hourglass,
slipping through cold hands.
It brings great joy as it fills our hearts and fills the air,
when it slips into darkness
it brings great despair.
It bears a gentle touch, leaving fond impressions,
yet can break a heart
when turned into obsessions.
Can make just one kiss the warmest of desire,
Or rip a soul to shreds
and burn it up with fire.
Brings showers of affection that wash tears away,
or drown a heart in sorrow,
while it goes astray.
Wraps a body in passion, languishingly sweet,
then slaps you and pulls the rug
from under your feet.
It can be so beautiful, the sweetest of dreams,
then turn into a nightmare
of hateful dark schemes.
When you say those three words you’re letting down your guard,
followed by good-bye,
after you’ve fallen so hard.
Fragile are the wings upon which a heart takes flight.
Yet, if it's for real...
Love will shine forever bright.
It starts again
It's hard to breath
Lord, I have so many unmet needs
Please help me stand
I don't want to fall
You are God, in control of it all
This empty perception
Leads me into deception
This void in my heart
Breaks me apart
I can't move
I can barely speak
It's your love i desperately seek
The road has been long
And the journeys been hard
I'm finally letting down all of my guards
Take hold of my life
For I can't take much more
Help me persevere
What I was made for
In this silence I feel you near
You are the one who demolishes my fear
In this silence I feel you near
You are the treasure I now hold dear.
