Okay I am going to write another funny poem
then I will call it a night
Bed time
Is there sofa time

Especially...

Recalling moments stored in memories with people I miss
Staring at a star-filled sky sometimes it's nice to reminisce

who lived in an old rectory in Northern Norway

Je ne puis demeurer loin de...

I think that The Storm brings calm.
Before it,
The clouds build and build in the sky
Until you can’t see the light anymore,
The clouds waiting and waiting to let go of the thousands
And thousands
Of pounds of rain.
You...

the blood stained the streets, 
I rotted away in the sun 
mangled in a pile.

The way he shot me in the face 
spit on my back

I remember like it was yesterday
but it was years ago and another lifetime ago
that I fell in love with a man

i remember the day so clearly
just like it was yesterday
i couldn't believe what was happening
they'd come to take you away
i had no say in the matter

A beautiful human being, 
Lost her life, and no one seems to know why
If only her silence could be broken, If only her
Soul would wander around and deliver the untold
The story no one could tell,

My days filled with your inspiration
Anticipating our love vibration
That makes my heart start racing
Chasing our dreams with all this sensation
Of our feelings that have come unmasked
Trying to keep our lives on task
Moving forward not able...

I did not believe in love at first sight
its illogical at best
but faced with how I felt that day
and your memories now to overlay
It's clear that love at first sight has stood the test
