log agog


Sunshine cab ride
thought it was a love vibe
couldn't be more wrong
and
back to my own tribe

I don't mind
its no matter
I'm forever involved
I am my happy ever after

its no mind
its no mention
laugh out loud
relived of tension

pretentious pretention
looking for self invention
worry worry
bad girl detention

log agog
relived its off my foot
wrote out my prediction
not my business another's affliction

I don't care
if others stare
for I am real
percussive

paradiddle boogie
only I can move me
relived and a movie
crash elsewhere

happy in my meanness
optical truth of mine
always moving
always fine

30 seconds
walk away
empty pockets
high on pay

dead end

sunshine laughter


That time of year
soft butter
popping buds
blue skies
wide smiles
t shirts
short skirts


free
liberated
experience full
and the smile
wide as the Nile

I never want to go back
loose focus
pull track

I gave what I give
100%

I live what I love
hands on
without protective gloves
standing alone
how I love to be overlooked
ignored

gives me freedom
gives me reason
enjoy this season
of self love
sharing with real ones

me and him
loyal
to each other
arm in arm
with our
sunshine charm

independent
when you reply on nobody
you just know
you can rely on yourself

an old tree
with its own canopy
shading its own roots
swaying its own dance
need no viewing
to know
the joy of its existence

Misplaced leaf
taken by a leaf thief
well
its got plenty
generous tree
doesn't mind
already producing more

float away
invisible
for now is now
focus right here
eyes forward
knowledge brings laughter
a tower of leaves
are my bed
for the reclining
of the happy ever after

take a look

shedding
shredding

torn

shading
fading

blank
page

ended
begun

pause
pause

unbounded
free

given back
slack attack

miss me
missed me

knowledge
has yet to begin

crumpled
rumpled

self straitening
crease free

gladly
happily

full lungs
liberty

ancestral
rigmarole

toll

stitched in

trying hard
try hard

too hard
truth

keep it
weep it
sweep it
swept

shedding
removing ill skin

ending that
excitedly begin

no more

question?
snore

false
positive

positively
false

weave
the rope

gravity
falls the floor

always seeking
a better door

simpler
I

fly here
bye bye

more life
in a wooden box

sly old love
is a strangled fox

laying forest floor
yawn

fake handbags
quality lags

in the zip
open the fabric teacup

take a look

cowboy song


Its a good life
if you can be taught to look
its in the air we breath
in the food we cook

here alone
its feels real nice
there aint a thing id add
aint a thing that aint just right

there horizon I yearned for
well its here now at my feet
makes me happy
to know this complete

its not that things didn't pass me by
things I loved
I let go
I let them free to fly

how does if feel
to be away
do you get your shit done?
does your time pay?

its good for me
I like a small ole life
I like being complication free
but I knew that from the start

and the zephyr flew past
I saw behind the mask
blockades embellished with brocade
lacework upon face work

I put my life on hold
so committed I was
so bold the heart that beat
I found that drum was little fun

I let go on my coat
all my troubles fell
naked I stand
more knowledge upon my hand

its a grateful heart
and I rejoice
and I wouldn't change
not a single choice

for I know what I know
and I want not a thing
and if I did
it blew away with a cold wind

and it flies free
through the branches and clouds
and for the love of it
is in me

there aint nothing I shared
that isn't truth and real
now I stay here
knowing absence aint really real

I feel bad that your too young to know
that you can let it go
but it wont ever really go
I don't guess, I just know

if you can grow a life
well make it your own
its gone in a wink
and I rely on my own

fly

Fatigue sweeps across me
I awake tired
its down hill from there

so tired
all I can do is either push
or lay awake

my brain
the first computer
tic tok

the ifs
the whys
the if onlys

I push regret away
its no use
brain plays in the obtuse

I rest there
watching
colour, perfume, behaviour

the birds have a ton of energy
alive with blossom
grumpy fuckers with each other

territory
ownership
survival

I lay back
watch it all
upside down am I

dream the dream
imagine
what it must be like to fly

strong


I look
I feel silenced
observation
time
all efforts have been made

I feel in a steady space
knowledge formed
there is little I cannot face
ive done all I can
ive been thoroughly true

in my heart
I know I love you

to know this love
it set me free
a love so deep
it split the very heart of me
it showed me how
and know I know
to ive you love
I must love myself so

I give myself a gentle space
invite loved ones in
take joy in there face
and it with winged hearted abundance
I fly

not for you
not to you
but to guide the way
come this way I call
come with me
play
laugh allot
know I'm strong
I will shield you
support you
when there is no bird song

and pure as pure can be
you are always here for me
honest
pure
excitable
demure
kind
uncomplicated
Ive always known
you were mine
that we were fated

cloudscape



cloudscapes
trawl in my head
eyes flicker
towards my bed

sacred space
heavenly place
consummate ease
baby please

the heart
unlatching linen given
old wrongs
forgiven
all learning driven

soul smitten
purring like old style
kitten
everything, given

slow motion love
folding, bending, mesmerism
gilded golding
the now, moulding

heat, light
no matter how cold
no matter how dark
hand holding

see you through
whatever
see me with you
my pleasure

knock knock
open door
clothes cast
upon the high thread floor

you
adore
me
adore

open hands
clap
silent
applause

hold you
to hold me
give it
to keep it

brings more
and
more
no snore, never bore

beauty in the vulnerable
in the flaws
that trust allows
to show

time will pass
lifes shall be made
children will grow
the path is made

small steps
courage in the shadows
joy in the sun
feel all around me, the fun

hearts tapestries
flowing rivers quench
even the bitterest tears
that life did drench me, us through

I never gave up
neither did you
143, has been the only thing
I ever, freely, gave to you

communication
solution
keep the lines
true

beautiful me


It is my curse
for love to choose me
and not to let me go

my heart so soft
my mouth so hard
silent pain surrounds me

I want to sit with him one more time
I want to hold your hand here
and know lady you need my hand too

share this life ive built
alone I am
accepting silence I do

my love out of just that
I do not talk to you
about him

preferring to be silent
preferring to observe
sadness floods me

not for a single day
but for memories of hiding
tenderly I hold all my pain

in perfect stasis I am
not even fearing of vulnerability
comfortable

complex beauty
I open my hands
hold you

tend to you
love you
only to find out

that this loveable thing
this melancholy beauty
is me

date fait

in the end
I went on a date
I had so much going on in my head
I just wanted some fun
some laughter
distraction
 
well now it seems
the boot is on the other foot for me
myriad of messages
too many for me to keep up with
deep thoughts communicated
from a person I hardly know
 
it is me whom is exhausted by it
makes me laugh and cry at the same time
this understanding
this knowledge
I laugh at the joy of learning
the irony of it
I cry as this knowledge has come too late for us
 
They said i was still in love with you
I was just me
I don't even exsplain that I shall always love you
that you touched a place in me that is sacred
rarely visited
locked
 
only serves to make me smile
the joy of knowing that this is how i love
im aware of many things
that its too much for you
overwhelming
I can see that
do I hide it?
no i just live with it
keep it from you
find a way to love you that you can accept
feel the love
not pressure
 
how I do that I do not know
so im reserved
sit back
allow the universe to aid you
understand that my role is for me
to do the same for myself
 
 
all consuming love
so strong
for one so naive
I just let it
spread
infect
and im sorry
 
try not to feel it as pressure
ha!
how does one do that
with one so verbose?
so passionate?
 
I guess you push it away to appoint where
its equidistant to the space you need
I understand
 
even petulant me understands
want you to find your own freedom
your own motivation
and from that energy will come forth for you
 
not drain
cause pain
 
so im so happy its you
so sad too
for I never wanted to add a layer
to the onion
so peel away
 
you will get there
you will become confident
that im incharge of me
that im safe
its safe to be near
sophie
 
that the pain for me
is a beautiful acceptance
of not being
where I want to be
 
but I am however
where I need to be
can you imagine having to be around me
as my dad is dying?
how awefuly gloomy it would be
you need the opposite
and
im glad
as alone
I can keep the castle walls intact
that you
and you alone
can bring them crumbling down
 
what a responsibility
crack the vulnerability
see the authentic me
and they all crumble down
and I cant have that
burry it
push it down
act the clown
be pragmatic
phlegmatic
 
so I support you
doing whats right for you
and know im strong
and I don't need you
but miss you
yes
miss how my heart feels just seeing you
even under awkward times
I look at you
and
and
 
it just all clicks
and love overwhelms me
not just for you
but for me
and for life itself
 
what a gift
for life itself
and im left feeling
selfish
and thinking about health
and that wealth
that wealth you give me
the knowing
independent knowing
that only the universe conspiring for me finding you
and you I
has given me
wrapped up so nicely
 
for ever inspiring me
never divisive
 
so im sorry
sorry for you
that I cannot stop loving you
but you will get busy with other stuff
understand its no threat
and it will all be ok
better than ok
 
for us both
and we will drink feoja vodka
and toast our own health
and laugh with each other
about that silly time
we tried
failed
glad for the closeness
the gifts it brought
self knowledge
like going to college
yeah
life college

the gift

oh muse of mine
oh muse so fine
yes you my sweetest beauty
I try to write
with all my might
of others but im found lacking
 
my heart so full
of all the good
that you decanted unto me
 
 
if I could change myself
bring forth an elf
to sprinkle some magic dust
 
to increase my gentle
decrease my lust
oh how I would be so grateful
 
in my eyes
no prettier skies
have I ever trodden foot upon
 
inside out
there is no doubt
that beauty is just the word
 
all the energy gifted to me
has be used to garden my soul
I just wonder whats the price
of that generous gift to the giver
 
received with thanks
universal pranks
its strange how blessed i feel
 
to be chosen to share
the intimate air
with such a delicate
one such as you
 
our friendship will mend
be different
stronger
kinder
longer
 
 
just the thought makes me feel uplifted
but I shall never forget
the love that met
and for this I shall
always feel gifted

blue is the colour

I thought if I went out in the rain
that nobody would see my tears
keep everyone away from my pain
 
I trudged about
splashing my feet
enjoying my child's fun
 
and I looked up
and there you were
my miss marple
 
I told myself
as I had to walk by to get to the car
that I wouldn't make myself known
as I didn't want to cry
 
I tried
and to my horror
I saw my hand in view
and it reached for you
 
and there you were
and there you were
 
I bit my gums
to keep myself in the moment
wanted to lay on the pavement
and cry
 
but how I could I let you see that?
how could I let anyone see that?
 
I didn't know what to do
sadly thrilled at seeing you
 
and so
I walked to my car
keeping my son close
 
I sat in my car
choked
missing stuck in my throat
like a native in a stoats throat
 
I told myself
why didn't you ask them for coffee?
because I didn't know how I would be
didn't want it to make it difficult for another 3
 
took my tears home with me
took them home
 
I think
how do I get that friendship back
how can I ever go back to that
 
I want to
how I want to
 
I muse
maybe its not us but me
maybe this how it all is for me
to always loose the precious kindest souls
 
I don't have any choices
im all alone
in a house
 
and everywhere I go
we been before
so each remind me of you
and the time before
 
it wasn't all rosey
was hard all the learning
but authentic love I have for you
a rare commodity
 
I take the quitepine
helps me to sleep
went to see the doctor
a virus I had
told her my loss
 
and maybe its the rain
that makes me feel so grey
like there is going to be no end
to this loss
this grief
 
I count my blessings
I count them twice
ill count them all day
 
in the distance your still there
tending to yourself
and I want that
for you to only focus on you
 
but it doesn't take the tears away
doesn't stop me feeling blue

start again

I observed
knowing there was nothing I could do with the space
between us
 
I felt comfort
thankful to the rock pools
for giving you the peace I could not
 
I want to be the person that just lets go
I don't want this love I carry
I tell myself I shall learn to live with it
 
there is a gap
I try to fill it
but what filled it was unique
I have the knowledge I treasured all of it
all of you
 
id never had such a mind to share
so clever
so beautiful
so observant
so thoughtful
so kind
 
emotionally unavailable I think
not through wish
but through situation
through nature maybe
 
no judgment
just how it feels
 
im a realist
and a dreamer
took comfort in knowing you
the hugs
the touches
the looks
the blushes
 
I look in others for you
but you're not there
and im reminded
of my loss
my loss
 
I know in the end
if I was better
more together
that we could have made it
my heart wanted forever
 
so patient am I
that I will wait
this life time and the next
 
there I shall start the journey all over again
my search for you
and I hope
how I hope
 
that in the next life time
that it will be the time
that then
we wont pass like ships
 
that we can stay
and enjoy each other  love
that I can stay
that I can stay
 
and I wonder
what happened that day
how I hate this home
amalgamated as I am
 
I wont forget supposed friends stupidity
and the cost to me
frailty of my own forgiveness
 
I don't want to start a new with another
I want to start again
just with you

splat

words choke me
my choices land
mud splatters
grey sky thinking day
 
only from the outside
do I understand
love offered
returned
to sender
 
now im a pretender
suck it up
throw off the pain
scrub it off
watch it fall
 
splat
im a prat
no doubt of that
irrelevant is where im happiest at
 
on the margins
safe from harm
on the outside
alone
strong
 
that seed
it dropped through
a concreted crack
 
it grew
emotionally unavailable
it was
 
no matter how much sun shone
no matter how much water it was tended with
awkward tentative
grew against its will
 
but that seed loved its feet in the dirt
could see the world down here
could see up the worlds skirt
its secrets
 
crooked
weak
but the dirt gave its friend
all the love it could
gave it all its honest minerals
but the seed
wished not for minerals
but for vitamins
 
the storm came
had been before
the crooked seed tried
but a gust came
uprooted so said seed
and separated it from the dirt
 
off it flew
petals
stem
roots, a few
 
the dirt
safe under concrete slabs
under the crack a space
where seed had landed
roots had grown
 
but that was before the gust came
and now all that was left
was the knowledge
that the seed had flown
and a lasting impression
 
the earth
the greater part of that dirt
held it together
that dirt loved so much
it let the seed go
fly free
onwards on its journey
somewhere else to sow
 
and the rain came
and through the concrete a raindrop fell
and a muddy splat resulted
dirt let go
but never of the dream
the feeling of that union
forever germinating in its heart
 
and the splatted travelled earth
accepted its fate
tried to forget
couldn't
wanted a river to grow
wash it away
but I guess the price
the dirt pays
for having cracks above it
for its fertile heart
for loving the seed
for taking its chance
now the dirt could only participate
in a far off dance
 
rain kept coming
the rain kept coming

my home

oh how truly blessed I am
to be able to stand tall
to have shoulders wide enough
to carry the true opinionated
painfully earnest me
 
how I have walked on burning coals
and fought so hard
and lost so much just for the right
to be me
 
i ask myself
"is it worth it"
"would compromise have kept more and been easier?"
 
 
i am not the sort
to be able to speak a half truth
to live a half life
to not sleep in the gutter for my beliefs
 
 
it is the need to sleep straight in my bed
that makes me so
I cannot see the point of living this life I have been given
bent by others
 
even so
bent by others
this attitude of mine has left me
limping free
but free in truth and self responsibility i am
 
the convenient truth
that nothing and know one is
nor can be perfect
to themselves or to others
 
my sister tried to please
and bent and bitter she seems now
where did all her joy go?
I just don't know
she must have had some
shouldn't she?
 
I understand
truth
real life
struggles
I don't mind hurt
as long as it by the tongue of truth
its a learning tool
lifes sign posts are full of hurt
and im no coward
too studious
eager to learn
 
is the door shut?
I don't think so
would it be hard for me?
oh no doubt
can I conquer hard?
every time
every time
even when I don't want nor wish
I just don't have it in me
to bend past the truth
that
yes
I love you
am content to never be with you
and for you to make your own choices
support them
be content
but to like it?
never!
 
silly love
stupid connection
but patient for a life time I have no choice
but just will be
compare all to you?
I hope not but think so
 
cannot be free
will not be free
all sounds like fearful compromise to me
but then
im not you
 
ive given up so much for people who didn't deserve it
thrown away family
who in the end
didn't deserve it
 
but live this life
be me
be free
its just who I am
and its not an easy task
and I wouldn't infect a dog with it
but
it feels wonderful
even alone
to stand tall
and call my home
my home

say to me

Every night i dream I have had the courage to write to you. Every morning im reminded that im not as fearless as I think. Every day a fool I think I am to be hurt by a person so much and yet still want, miss that one. How can I miss someone this much? I distract myself with chocolate and old movies, focus on motherhood. Tell myself your much better off without me and that you want it to be this way. In the thinking of you needing it to be so I am calmed and can shut off my adult feelings and the grief of loss in me. I would be wrong to deny I am angry, but it is with life and not with any of the players. Could I, would of I, if only I had..... not meant to be... is all I can say to me 

i have merino

I think
all the things
all the lack of commitment
was nothing about
me
nor
being busy
 
 
all the things that I took personally
not about me
 
wash
excess wash
from a previous time
 
am I hurt?
of course.
 
i know
that if you could have just trusted me
communicated with me in a clear and honest fashion
trusted
my honest love for you
 
i sigh
 
it wasn't like this
you didn't
not wouldn't
i think couldn't
 
all those years of hurt
the programming
made it so
 
i am not angry with you
im understanding to an extreme
ive been in hard places
i after all understand
 
i get moment when i want to say hi
but i don't
i wont
give you a clean start
remove any confusion
 
but i miss you
but i like the calm in my life
i didn't realise how much energy i invested
just keeping contact
 
i wanted to do it
so i did
 
i like having not to worry
about my words
i know how i feel for you
so i never saw any negative
as i knew there was none
 
slowly
slowly
all the questions
grew in my mind
weeds of concern
 
questions
negative questions
 
and it grew
and grew
 
and i couldn't be patient any more
 
and i just let go
 
i accept this
it was a choice
not a reflex
much thought had gone into it
much time
much observation
 
and i wonder
do you miss me
as i miss you?
 
do you?
 
and the leaves are turning
and soon they shall fall
and dormant winter shall be with me
i have merino
i will be ok
in life
its just the price
the tree pays
here for a season
gone for three
it was true love
true love i felt for you
in
me

no room for pretence, no need for defence

in this space
our 2 faces
look at each other with knowing
that were on this path
facing the same way
supporting each other in the going
 
my focus is you
only you now its true
and im glad for you bring me all that I need
 
to give of myself
all of myself
and to be taken and loved for who I am
 
how my heart sores
hearing your giggles and snorts
your stories and wonderful logic
teaching you jokes
and watching your explore
the joy of laughter with me
 
I thought I could spread
myself out of my head
but I couldn't and Im glad to be back
nothing ventured
nothing gained
and no pain to be tamed
is settling
 
and all I can dream
is here infront of me
not a day
I shall loose
no
no more
 
even your snore
cute to adore
no room
in our home
no
no room
no more
 
lessons ive learnt
more shall be burnt
to the not the same list that's extending
and here with you
is the best through and through
and im secure that there is never any
pretending

wings

young man of mine
im going to take you places
show you faces
introduce to you
the world
 
we will spread our wings
taste delicious things
and
laugh, oh laugh
all the way
 
ill hold your hand
and will stand
by your side
and be with you
all the way
 
and oh what jakes
life does take
when freedom calls to us
and im just open
universal considerate token
and love sweet love
rules
through out

slap, hum, repeat

I no longer need an image
to prompt me to write
no, I need nothing
to be in full flight
 
and I see myself projected
and all the things I hid from
are there, right there in full beam head lights
I refuse to turn away
I sit here rooted
and this is what I find I say
 
I don't need to pay
I don't mind who I am
I don't mind hearing my heart
don't mind what it has to say
don't mind im a fool
don't mind im naive
honest
romantic
thoughtfully apologetic
self responsible
carry my faults
open to them
admit them
try hard to improve
never commit to them
that the strength I have
is a strength of humour
the never get me down
no matter the glower gloomier
the belly laugh hard
the awkward charm
the willing to dance
captivated by beautiful trance
that im super nice
honest times the thrice
that hard for the hiders
open hands
open heart
smile at the world
the feeler
the want to believer
the wishing on a star
the wanting to believe they all are
who they say they are
the walk in the truth
the bloggers babe ruth
the moment grabber
the sharpen the knife
lifes too short
stab
the dust myself off
the blank book
the lowest shelf
the bluest of Delpht
the child
the woman
the never force another
the thankful mother
 
and im glad
so happy
that all I am is mine
and mine is all for me
and I don't want a pint size pot of pity from a soul
make me laugh
pretence is for actors
something that is or the audience
fictional detractors
 
I am the happy fool
yes
let me love this role that I begot
and love this soul
that's forever too big
too intense
for something as shallow
as a poor pint pot
 
dallie you
dallie me
on my knees
shackles removed
and the laughter
rises
and
ha
I run a million miles an hour
processing
processing
I am from the future
let them all stay in the past
eat there pasture
water there grass
round the universe I go
stronger than strong
while the victims
paint there sorry tales
enable
enable
turn the table
enable
enable
soothe your soul
enable
enable
is a dirty game to play
I burn the cards
refuse to play
rather
dance on the table
write my own fable
from experience of life
not from a myriad of others experiences
I am strong
cos this is real
experience is my enabler
strength
is
my
smile
when your lie is so strong
you believe it yourself
better break that plate
wake yourself up
paint the blue Delpht
 
wake up wonderer
wake up
 
slap
hum
repeat
