The Waterside


As the lights shimmer on the water
A rippling cascade of beauty is caused to exude
With the glowing sheen provided by the dockside glow
Making a brilliant natural interlude
When the waves ebb to and fro
And lap at the waters edge, gently
I can hear a voice in my distant mind
Whispering I love you, so pleasantly


With the white and blue lights in the distance
I walk slowly, thinking of you, and your smile
And it reminds me constantly
I have missed you for quite a while
So my mind drifts in and out of true love thoughts
Just like the waters with their Rainbow glow
And I send a message on the wind
To say I love you so

Sunflower memories

I used to think about the times we had.
I would dwell on it and then end up sad. 
Because those days were one of the happiest of mine.
But you know what they say, everything good leaves with time.
If it was meant to last then you would have stayed. 
Because God’s plan is perfect in every single way .
As long as I live I’ll look fondly on my past. 
Enjoying the memory’s, knowing life moves on so fast.
Because before I know it I’ll be old and turning gray.
And I’ll look happily on this moment remembering today.
For what happens today will be a memory tomorrow.
So I will try to stay happy and forget all my sorrows.
This life of mine always moves along too fast . 
Making my happiest days only something of the past. 
For as new days come barring smiles and hugs.
The yesterdays go leaving only memories of love.

Premium Member Two Old Photos

I was leafing through my mom’s old bible that’s sat on our shelf since she died
when two pieces of paper floated out and landed by my side

Two old photos I hadn’t seen before…photos I never knew she had…
Photos of two soldiers…one my mom and one my dad.

On the back of the two photos…five words in faded grey
written in each other’s hand…’you take my breath away”

Photos they must have given each other before war tore them apart
Photos that, while in their youth, showed the essence of their hearts. 

I imagine they kept these photos with them…to help see them through the war
I imagine they kept them near their hearts…like so many soldiers had before.

And when they returned home again…safe, secure…unharmed…
the pictures were not needed for they had each others arms…

So they found a final resting place- their job was now complete..
in a page in Mom’s old bible…until they landed at my feet…

Two photos from a time I didi not know them…when their love was new and strong
Two photos that…after reading them…I tucked back where they belong.

Perhaps it’s a bit egotistical of me…and certainly it’s wrong
but I never thought much about my parents lives before I came along…

But reading the back of those two photos…
from another time…
another day…
made me smile for a moment 
as they took my breath away.

Time erases sadness

“Sadness flies away on the wings of time.”
—Jean De La Fontaine
...................................................
Heavy is this gray cloud above our heads,
Its weight like stone, it bows our shoulders low.
The robe of joy we wore is torn to shreds,
We're clothed in tears, in despair, ache, and woe,
Yet still we crave good hearts to love and care.

This yoke we bear clings tight like second skin,
Its presence felt in every breath we take.
Memories we thought were buried within
Still rise and pull us under when we wake,
Our hearts exposed—so empty and stripped bare.

But time erased our sadness, eased the pain,
The scar too faint for even eyes to see.
Now joy returns in true love’s gentle rain,
Its warmth and laughter set our spirits free,
The love it brings now shines with fun and flair.

Hard To Forget

Searching for the chemistry that we had
Was it ur age?
She is ur age and yet not the same
Was it ur blonde hair?
She has blonde hair and still not like u
Looking for the qualities that only u possess
Smoking myself into a coma every night
Clearly out of my mind
Thoughts of u send my mind into a tailspin
Lost with no communication
Searching an uncharted piece of my soul
I have never had these damned feelings
The words u told me were lies of a hopeful heart
We will never pick up where we left off
This emptiness will never be filled
I thought that I had loved and lost before
I had no idea it was like this...

My happy place is listening to Harry Styles with u on the porch in the sunshine of May. Ur blonde hair glowing in the sunshine. White tank top, short jean shorts. Ur yellow toe nail polish.
Soon after, reality starts to take over
The clouds roll in and slowly take away my sunshine, as u disappear into the fading sunshine. I am left alone in the gloom of an overly cloudy, grey sky. I wait through the rain and snow, hoping to catch a glimpse of ur face in the sunshine.


Remember Me

Remember me when I am gone
And my spirit whisks its way across the lakes
A gust of wind, a gentle breeze
Surprisingly that’s all it takes
As it travels onwards over Hill and Dale
It leaves a gentle puff of smoke, like a vapour trail
But you will always know it’s me because it is so bright
And feel my tender love, because you know 
You and I together was so right
As time goes by you will think of me
And the way I used to be
But do not be sad, always smile
For I am with you all the while
To hold your hand which you will feel
When you are down, it may not seem real
But believe me when, I am around
You will always hear the sound
Of a gentle breeze when I whisper in your ear
Do not be frightened, never fear
I wish I could hold you close and then
Kiss you time and time again
Like I used to when I was there
When we laughed without a care
And when the Sun shines
 It will be me keeping you warm
And my heart will shelter you from many a storm
You will always have my love close at hand
Wherever you may be, across the land
I will follow you everywhere you go
Because I will always love you for sure you know
So when you see that little Robin sitting in the tree
Just remember, it could be me
Watching over you as I promised all that time ago
And never fear when the wind doth blow
Because it will be me sending a special kiss
To show you you’re the one I so dearly miss
So remember me and this heart of mine
Because it is yours for all time

Scarred For Life

There she was, sad and bereft,
  weeping hard with troubled signs,
    lone, desolate she was left,
walking midst overgrown vines,

Love memories she did hold,
    reminiscing them, she’d soar,
  but that day, gloom did enfold,
as tears continued to pour,

The graveyard was neglected,
  hued leaves and branches lay there,
    it made her more dejected,
the feel of death in the air,

She would clutch on to grim thoughts,
    when she did inhale his scent,
  her heart would tie up in knots,
that fragrance made her lament,

He was alive in her heart,
  but felt so tangible here,
    where his grave drove them apart,
but where she could grasp him near,

Losing herself in mind’s maze
    with a sob, a gasp, she cried,
  she wandered there in half-daze,
in recollections she’d glide,

To this day, she finds comfort
  when she visits his graveyard,
    tears would clasp her heart in hurt,
her love’s death has left her... s c a r r e d.

Premium Member I just loved you

I just loved

I just loved, just loved, and loved. And loved
Need a God in my life, can’t be my life’s kind

If my life is a problem, let me lose that, cross the time
Forget my problem, get me yours, I need your love in yours

Feel my soul, still beating, a take my life into yours
Death is mine because I want to give you my lives
Live you, love you, get you, you drop me, into you

I just loved you, passed all the memories away, 
I am just a life lover, be my killer, my life get always you

Hah, my life is coming of you, because want to forget you
Hah, drop me and love you, love your life, let me be, let me be

A slave of you
Someone
Nothing
But…
… Loved you

Premium Member Memories We Cherish

Life is a garland of many lovely flowers,
each flower is a memory that we cherish,
the needle and thread of time pass through the lot,
binding them together so you never forgot!

joyous fragrance from school days come fleeting in row,
memories of laughter with friends we used to know,
taskmaster principal who ensured discipline,
the teachers,the play room, and long lunchtime bee line!

of teenage years, romance, and those lovely long nights,
when dreams are golden, hopes and wishes of great heights,
dawn of reality, out to build a career,
success of finding job that brought family cheer!

marriage and children then make bulk of the flowers,
fragrance from the garland smells sweetest when lovers,
love of parents is eternal perfume in heart,
gratitude we owe them for their love from the start!

the garland grows and gathers flowers on the way,
as we age and take on new roles each year, each day,
colourful, cheerful embellished with many thoughts,
the memories we cherish are fragrance of hearts!

A Coffin

A Coffin


A coffin came my way,
They said, therein you lay;

I could believe them nay,
Until they said they could flay;

Wild I went,
I could not vent;

The expression remaining,
Before it started draining;

I was no longer composed,
I had to be dosed;

You were ethereal,
This had to be surreal;

No enmity could matter,
When everything had shattered;

You had been battered,
When you had me flattered;

I can not apologise,
You have been baptized;

I seek not your forgiveness,
I need not your liveness;

For you’ll always be,
Right here, in my heart;

I woke up, to find you gone,
For EVER in your zone..

I need not repent,
For I have your scent;


Your memories alive,
Shall always thrive;

You were one of a kind,
Never out of your mind;

It is not cowardice,
For it requires courage;

It shall not be despised,
For it was your suffrage..
