spark within

I challenge you, a deal to win

Ignite me, light a spark within

Hold me close, liberate the waves

 Energy, jumps from you, to me, set ablaze

I feel set free, relaxed able to be

Join me in my wonder

Send me to the heights, sate my hunger

Liberate me, Join me

Ignite me,light a spark within

Colours

​Shivering colours of exotic hue

Weave there way, round me and you

Honey brown eyes, glint and laugh

Glorious white teeth as you laugh

Vermillion lips, trace an autograph

Grey eyes sparkling glinting blue

Intertwined hair, blonde and bamboo

Pink pointed tongues, leave silvery trails

Dappled skin, pink tinged amazes

Aura radiating colours of flames

Our movements fan and rearrange 

Silver stars pop in our minds

Pink  green and gold just emphasise 

The palette of colour that we create

Changes each time we concentrate

Swirl the brush in a different direction

Colours change with our affection

Shivering colours of exotic hues 

Paint a picture of me and you.

one memory

​If you could keep but one memory

Jut a single memory from your past

What would you hold close to you

From all your lifes repast

Could you distill all that was important 

When life doesnt come by installment
Would you systematically discard all the dross

Memories unimportant, trival or gross

Left with the treasures, held to the light

How long to examine them, to get the choice right

Would it be that memory of happiness and fun

Something to make you smile when you are on the run
If you could keep but one memory, a thing to reconcile

Would it be one, that inspired you to walk the extra mile

Would it have to be of that one true love

Or would memory of family have to come above

Having crystallised the memories too precious to discard

I find to choose just one is really just too hard
I find myself with a treasure trove

All too precious to remove

With only one memory would I want to remember

The person who is me, because it would dismember

My whole ecology

My memories are the sum of me.

Cyber Friends

​
In cyberspace their is a race

Of people who want a different space

Who want to add a layer on

To make new friends not take them home
Some of them just pass us by

Touch our lives, make us, laugh or cry

Others linger sharing stories

Of life or love and other glories
 Some become firm friends indeed

Others want to flirt, different creed

For some the magnet feels so strong

However the story weaves is it right or wrong?

jigsaw

​I cherish those pieces of you I shared,

It had to be enough, the times we cared,

Propping me up in times of woe,

Helping to fight the common foe,

My knight in armour,

I think maybe not,  knight in ardour,

That’s a possible plot,

We never had a future just a here, to adopt,

A mutual need,  so no angst or hook,

Sharing our time, like pages in a book,

Learning to grow and fulfill myself,

Came directly from  scraps, found on our shelf,

The jigsaw of life more complex than some,

Fitting together, our demons overcome,

Once more the jigsaw of life is tipped from the box,

Lots of the middle retained its locks,

Fitting the stray pieces together again,

With new insights a clearer refrain,

I cherish those pieces of you I shared,

Learning and growing my jigsaw is prepared.

Healthy kick

​Calm sea

Cloudy sky

Walking free

Would rather fly

Long hike

With beautiful views

Feet don’t like

Blisters, bad news

Healthy kick

Doing my bit

Unfortunately mthink I need a stick

Shouldn’t have stopped, must admit

 Now Stiff muscles

Hobbling now,Oh the pain

No more hustles 

Where’s the gain

Blue sky 

Calm sea

Tomorrow will a deckchair

That’s for me.

Learning to be

​Learning to be,

Can be hard you see,

Life teaches us early who we are,

Can make us doubt ourselves, makes lasting scars.
If we focus on others judgements,

The negatives, can stunt our circumference,

Told you are no good at that, 

Are ugly, stupid that’s a trap.
Learning to be the person, that fulfills their own potential,

Can be hard, if we believe we can’t be successful, 

We are duff at sums, we have no charm,

We can’t attract a mate, communication causes alarm.
Living with the mantra of negativity,

Becomes a self fulfilling prophecy,

Yet each of us in unique,

Why do we have to follow the herd,or be the freak?
Learning to be, can be hard,

Some never manage, they keep their marked card,

Others start to realise, they like their self,

Gain confidence, count their strengths, grab life itself.
Learning to be, is easy for some,

They have self love and confidence from day one,

Get positive feedback,  grab the day,

Breeze through life, like through a holiday.
From where ever we start,

It’s important to be, all you want to be,

Start with caring for you,  seeing the good,

Celebrate your achievements, search out the dead wood. 
Each of us is unique, and deserves to live life to the full, before they die,

Aware of who they  are, shining brightly in the sky.
