A blog to showcase the intricacies of poetry. To explore a little of the human condition and to highlight the poetry of Samantha Beardon.
I am missing you
Where have you gone
I see you sitting beside me
The link was so strong
Now things have changed
The passion has died
Life is a plateau
Hot tears I have cried
I am missing you
Where have you gone
You are here in body
I need to hear your song
Can we mend fences
In the next phase of our lives
Will we find a way
Or has love truly died?
We make sense of the world using learnt behaviour
Filling in the gaps with the familiar when in uncharted territory
This can skew our understanding, make us misread situations, or sometimes be our saviour
Perceptions based on experience
Help form our resiliance
We make sense of the world using learnt beliefs
Adding a layer of our emotions, that affect what we see
Our unconsious awareness adding pleasure or grief
Two people seeing the same event will have a different perspective
In relationships we need to be bias detectives
Which is the road that leads to happiness
Is the sign post instantaneous
Does one tread a path and start anew
Or should one do a life review
A commitment made has become a burden
Start a new life, new diversion
Where to dump the heavy load
Grief and woe and loneliness
Which is the road to happiness
Ditch commitments run away
Or try to work with feet of clay
Entrenched in doubt, tormented by fear
Need to get the thinking clear
The path to happiness might be nearer than you know
Reach out to a friend in the undertow
Then cherish yourself in order to grow
Life is a circus
Some would say
Does that mean a dull grind, day after day
Or a series of adventures
With new skills to learn
Maybe with some stress, to grin and burn
Life is a circus
Some would say
Populated with clowns sinister or gay
But how about the strongman
Or the lion tamer
In a circus there are many entertainers
If life is a circus
What do we see
What does it mean for you and me?
Sometimes we explore all realms of being
Life, and emotions it’s totally freeing
Trust that binds us allows for sharing
All ideas pondered our intimacy baring
Expression lands us raw and intense
Ideas unlocked excitingly immense
So many situations and fun to try out
Partners of pleasure no limits no doubt
Flying high on clouds of delight
Spreading our wings with all our might
Making the visions we hold in our heads
Come alive to our delight
The rose lifts its head
Following the sun’s path round
The bee sips nectar
Help me understand?
A love that is supposed to be wonderful
But it brings me to tears
Two hearts too broken
To give a good fight
Help me understand?
Why our world is falling apart?
Why every sad song bleeds me to death?
Help me understand?
Why this pain of missing you is my only shield of comfort?
Why nights get colder
And days turn darker?
Help me understand…
Why letting go is so hard to do?
And holding on is my only option that gives me so much peace
No other ways and means
But to follow my heart
Though your silence slowly breaks my sanity
I still choose to love
Help me understand?
A battle between life and death
When I have to lose to save you
And all these scars
Mean victory
That true love does exist
Help me understand?
Why there is no formula to unlove…

Golf a new sport to try
Learn some new skills to satisfy
Learn to hit a ball with a club
How difficult can it be, unless I hit the scrub
Stand relaxed and swing from the hips
Practice the move, heck have to be a contortionist
Ready to try, they said go to tee
Not the drink I expected, but a plastic dinkie
Now I am worried, is golf really kinky
Is this t motorised and kind of pinky?
I take up my stance and swing at the ball
Manage to hit it no trouble at all
Just heard a comment that’s got up my nose
I know I am no vision in these odd clothes
But to mention my flanks is beyond the pale
They tried to change it to shanks, hah a likely tale
Some talk of an iron
Is it forefits to frighten?
If they bring out their smalls
They can keep their balls
Ah, now somebody just got a birdy
Thats really too much
Killing helpless creatures, thats so out of touch
I think all this perversion
Is too much for me, is there another version
It seems there maybe, maybe I just need a strong cup of tea
With apologies to golfers my try at highlighting some of the golf venacular!
Habit of doubt
Need to work it out
Communication is the key
Talk to me
Is this distance just a phase
Or is doubt the poisons craze
We are there to share good and bad
Talk to me
Doubt and love can go hand in hand
Trust needs to be the bandstand
Habit of doubt
Talk to me
A sabbatical from us
Will sever the trust
Lover or friend
Having doubts, share your feelings
Definition in words and pictures
Make an impression,markers and fixtures
When reality blurs how to show our worth
Are words enough or insubstantial
The path winds on, destiny calling, consequential
If words hang lame
How do we decaim our feelings
Body language supplements the story, fans the flame
Words light a spark
The void between us ignited by touch pushes back the dark
Definition in words and pictures
Knowing we may feel the same no strictures
Reaching out with all the senses
Moving from one reality to totality
Converging Lives. Sounds, Silence and Imagery
