The light of SelfThe light of Self, it shines always
Find it in heart aflame
Let us turn now, inward our gaze
Since God-search is our aim
How long will we wander
On who we are ponder
Truth’s within, not yonder
Glows by itself
The light of Self...

VictorI know that all the weight upon your shoulders
Is debilitating at times
The luggage that you're carrying with you
Is you and other people's baggage
Intertwined
Focus is needed for life's journey
But sometimes it's just too hard for you to find
Due to the storms that you encounter along the way
And the tears...

Shiny and beautiful and newFor the broken. It doesn't have to be this way. Blessings.
Shiny and beautiful and new
By Michelle Morris
30/05/2025
Your broken pieces
Keep making me bleed
Every time I show you kindness
You act like you don't need it
And the blood that is spilled
Even if it's unseen and unheard
Still breaks my heart each time...

Love And RainbowsLove today I saw a beautiful rainbow that made me smile because it made me think of the beauty of our love.
The first time I talked to you, I knew you were special.
You were so strong and smart, I was happy to feel secure.
You made me feel so secure that I knew...

Welcome HomeWith pure light, you cannot see.
With pure darkness, you cannot see.
With both, you will see the beauty of life surrounding you.
Mountains, Sea, sky, and life will sing knowing your truth.
Now, your journey begins through the night stars and space.
Your soul now remembers this loving, unknown embrace.
You are home, welcomed in love as you swirl in...

Klepto
After all these years
it's my belief
based on experience
time is a thief
all wounds it heals
they say but in truth
it took my looks
purloined my zeal
and stole my youth
no matter the cost
come what may
I'm at a loss
what can I expect today
a past that won't last
or linger longer any more
and with or without me
life goes on as before
when at...

Has-Beans
One cup was enough
to curl his toes
as caffeine
the psychoactive chemical
allowed no doze
or more than a mug
no matter how roasted
the polyphenols
affected his free radicals
'til he did feel really quite toasted
and yet with no wish to upset
the happy home
after so many years of married life
he chose to grin and bear it
the 'Harried Hubby' syndrome
for altho' his dear...

Stimulation
Hot coffee
black coffee
really has the means
when I sup but half a cup
to make me feel
quite full of beans
only one requirement tho'
no decaf if you please
and altho' born in Kenya
where the coffee grows
why it's called
'a cup of Joe'
I'm sure I do not know
but
hot coffee
black coffee
is the best ammo
when I do a mug or two
to give me...

Life And Times
Said he, “Life is but a short journey, a dead end at best and over all too fast,
but along the way admire the view, enjoy the ride while it may last.
No ifs ands or buts, there are no shortcuts, we all fall by the same sword
and the race well run, from the starting gun, is...

Summer Rains
The summer rains came today
washing winter woes away
seems so long since they were here
welcome back old friend to near and dear
memories awakened from the sky
with the petrichor of years gone by
precipitating dreams of lazy days
illuminating sunbeams in a haze
which full-circle brought me back to you
and the fun things we used to do
on weekends walking in...

It's Good To Be Bible Right.It's Good To Be Bible Right
It's good to be Bible right,
In these days and times,
With thought of doing God's will,
Afresh in our minds.
We will all need the Bible,
To examine our lives,
To see where we stand,
In doing this we are wise.
If it convicts us,
Then we need to get right,
If it helps and inspires us,...

Open Door PolicyHi sweet lady, do you know?
If you do please tell me so
Once a year, is that too much?
Those words from you are like a touch
Of velvet fingers, soft on skin
My door is open do come in
Take my heart, I want you to
Uno, you know, ILU

Virat KohliVirat..never ersatz..fat cat with the bat
Look at record book stats in every format
Kerching bling King of tats
Vicious & pernicious in the ring
Kohli kidology psychology methodology thing
Tit for tat..spit for spat
Never ending..mind bending
Rat a tat tat
Doff your hat & all that
Could only be Virat
Parting platitude ”walking away with a heart full of gratitude”
Could fashion such passion..imbued...

The world todayAll over the news
Rage stews
Seems a war does rage
People are afraid to turn the page
Mankind is entering a new stage
Leaders fight without heart
War of the world seem about to start
Finely disguised school of hate
Openly guiding our fate
Degrees they are earning
But what are they learning
Words of hate flow
How much of it is for...
