Alternative way
If you are feeling at a low ebb
Despondent unable to cope, with lifes web
Heartbroken, unappreciated
Clothed but feeling stark naked
When you want to give up,stop, look for hope
Regroup, retrench and for a moment,be a castle in a moat
Find your essence, the centre of your being
Retreat into your inner eye, do new seeing
Let go of all the things you can’t control
Hold all your strengths and blessings to extol
Grieve for dreams unfulfilled
Wishes and hopes that have chilled
Then parcel that grief and toss it away
Breath deep the scent of the happiness bouquet
Find small green shoots to nurture, even in the devastation
Don’t give up, hold on, it’s all in the interpretation
Find lifes alternative way.
Padlocked Love.
Padlocked Love
So many padlocks
Locked with so much love
Each locked compartment
Bursting at the seams
Once upon a time
the symbol of fidelity
Lovers clipped them to a rail
Threw away the key
Thousands of padlocks
Sitting in a row
A sign of relationships
Waiting time to grow
Years pass by and the
world begins to tarnish
Locked to the rail
With no hint of varnish
Could we view those couples
Starting off brand new
Ten years on how many
Are still true
Are they welded close
Like the padlock on the rail
Or split assunder the lock
All atrail?

Fate
Fate
Planning a journey my heart races
chance to explore unknown places
in this world of exciting spaces
how to choose, stick a pin
that could mean lose or win
wish- list checked word by word
cut it down by a third
I travel far with little fear
leave it to fate, or stay near here
a journey made by boot and foot
a different adventure new input
with a map to help me yet
though fate, a new course might have set
Misty Dawn
Misty Dawn
Two souls dancing an aerial ballet
in the calm dappled light of misty dawn
flying and zooming without interplay
two souls dancing an aerial ballet
saying a farewell they can’t delay
as the zephyr breeze plays a carillon
two souls dancing an aerial ballet
In the calm dappled light of the misty dawn
In the calm dappled light of a misty dawn
floating like balloons higher and higher
moving together feeling woebegone
in the calm dappled light of a misty dawn
life has changed, the storms have gone
we are changing direction no more misfire
i the calm dappled light of the misty dawn
floating like balloons higher and higher
Floating apart as our balloons fly higher
in the cool dappled light of a misty dawn
leaving below loves funeral pyre
floating apart as our balloons fly higher
happiness and regret,we no longer desire
new skies to fly, new places to belong
floating apart as our balloons fly higher
in the cool dappled light of a misty dawn
Conduit of hope
The bridge to nowhere
My only escape
Pervasive landscape
While my heartbreaks
Only a conduit
Filtering my screams
Holding and protecting all my dreams
Safe from those erosive streams
I balance above
Exterior rust
Inside lined, with layers of trust
Barrier remains intact. Feels just
I run along
Landscape bleak
Seeing a sign, miseries defeat
On the otherside, freedom to speak
The bridge to somewhere.
The sign
Dark days become nights the stars don’t align
in this nightmare world of retrograde time
Stare into the cosmos look for a sign
Spiral out of control, lost lifes design
You were my anchor now gone such a crime
Dark days become nights the stars don’t align
Need to find a new path draw out the line
Not play the fool in futile pantomime
Stare into the cosmos look for a sign
Days feeling like weeks dreams seem borderline
My home no longer the haven sublime
Dark days become nights the stars don’t align
Break free from bad feelings must not resign
My love is worth more than a tumbling dime
Stare into the cosmos finding a sign
Love all encompassing, truly divine
Is waiting to find me yours was a mime
Light days become nights the stars realign
Stare into the cosmos yes there’s a sign.

Letter to my ex.
Dear one time lover,
What ifs, past regrets
Peevish feelings, let’s forget,
If today l am feeling blue,
Why wish you, miserable too,
(Although in my heart. Maybe I do!)
When you left, without regret,
With no thought for my distress,
Taking of course the easy way,
You found more, compliant prey
(I expect, you think this is just repay!)
What ifs, won’t change the present,
Just cause sadness, make life unpleasant,
So my one time man, we were not meant to be,
I will find something better, just wait and see.
(I have cleared out life’s debris.)
I have moved on, my life’s back on track,
What ifs, past regrets are, off my back,
If getting revenge was my aim,
Finding love and happiness- the victory claim.
(In my heart I am over you.)
What ifs, past regrets
Happy feelings, let’s not forget,
Today no longer feeling blue,
Having a good life in spite of you.
Yours out of love.
