It's beauty overwhelms me
I know God is here!

Wild Child
T. C. Boyle -
Told Victor's story.
Lived, aged, died at years forty. 
Teacher and pupil both - failed. 
Child from wild - no wild from child...

9/11  - We Will Never Forget!  

Unbelievably
The mighty towers crumbled
Grieving loved ones prayed
That God had spared their loved ones
While victims jumped from windows!

For Francine Robersts contest....Pick A Beverage




I once drank a glass of champagne
Then ran naked into the rain
I love all the bubbles
But it caused so much trouble
I’ll never drink it again!

Wining and dining!

I enjoy a good glass of wine
Whenever I go out to dine
But the prices are steep 
So I make sure I keep
The rest to take home cause it’s mine!

Here lies Bea At a hundred and three
In the place she vowed She’d never be
She always swore She’d never die
Till all who bugged her
In the grave would lie
She hung on tight To the very end
No foe was left For flowers to send
Let’s raise a glass And shed a tear
She sure raised hell while she was here!

Fears and fantasies entwine
to make a whole picture of life.

We fantasize a life of love...adventure...incredible achievements
as we soar far above the common man, 
to a level that no man has ever
gone before.

We stand at the edge of the surf
but alas,
we are too timid to place 
a toe in the water!

Freedom a space in time;
Left, with only sadness;
I only have vibes;
For happiness ever after;
Trapped in a world of madness;
Slavery got me behind;
The wings of the lamb;
If I help you along;
Don't thank me for my kindness;
Just join me in the song;
Take me from this fine mess;
Applaud me in my cleverness;

Just saw Susan Boyle again
I know that her kin
Must be feeling awfully proud
That this lass pleased the crowd

She's the one with the voice
Celebrated by many she their choice
A lass from Scotland in her fourties 
Had some more sass this lass from Glasgow

Hope she wins another round
For when she opens her mouth
The crowd is astound
Of the voice that does abound...

S is for the songstress O Sunshine.
U is all the whole world to mime.
S is for the pride O the Scottish.
And the A is for oor Angel we wished.
Named and baptised as Susan Boyle.

Boy did the Good Lord bless us all.
On oor own Mother type Kelly,s doorstep.
You were chosen to tread the red carpets.
Littered by the flowers of your fans.
E is for the Everlasting thanks O your Clans....

I will never love again and give my heart away 
As I have done with you my love 
Though now you've gone away. 
I will never love another as I have worshipped you 
And worked and prayed for your success 
In all you tried to do. 
I will never love again 
And let my poor heart bleed 
For even though God called you home
You're all I'll ever need.

Cancer
                                      By Lynn Boyle 1956-2014

Cancer is a monster
it has taken my
  
            Mind
 
            Beauty

            Joy
        
            Pleasure

            Trust

It has seared my skin off my body

It has broken my spirit

It has destroyed my hope for any future

It has taken my identity

My independence

And left me


           Waiting for death...

I never said goodbye the day you went away
Goodbye was just a word that my heart couldn’t say
But my world fell apart on that dark, dismal day
For forty years we had been wed, 
We were children when we met
And though you had to go on ahead, 
My heart will not forget
You promised you'd always be with me 
That we would never part
And so I keep you my darling
Nestled deep within my heart

God is our umbrella in the storms of life
Ready to shield us from the rain
But we must remember to always carry it with us
Not put it aside, hoping the sun will always shine
Rainy days are blessings in disguise
For it is then that lessons are learned
And if we take good care of our umbrella
Not carelessly putting it aside
It will always be there for us
Shielding us from whatever storms may come.

Vanity…Thy Name Is Woman!

My house is on fire
What shall I do
I’ve seconds to decide
My choices are few
Shall I grab my money
My precious jewels
Or my brand new furry
Bedside mules?

This smoke is deadly
I can hardly breathe
I make a mental list
Of what to bequeath
But live or die
I’ll wear my designer dress
I’ve got to look great
For all the press!

Ne dusle senle  gecti  yillar
Ne hikayeler  senle  yasadik birlikte
Bir gun yakin asik
Bir gun yabanci
Omur goctu boyle
Sanki  sen dusman bana
Hep birlikte yasanan  yillara
Kusmusun sevdasin boylesine
Soframdan  tat  almayan  sen
Yeni bir damak tadi  bulan ben
Sanki bilmem mi   gecmisimi 
Hic bitmeyen yanardag  ofkeni  
Ve siddetini yasadikca seni
Unuttum desem   unutsam desem
Sevgimle ortsem desem
Ayni bitmeyen ofke
Ne yapsam bilemem
Bu nasil hastalik  bende
Iksiri  zehir  kendim...
