Rainbow
Kindness paints brush strokes of beauty with a smudge of all the colours of the rainbow. It touches people especially in the hearts of the lost and lonely and shades over all the if only. It recognises the sad the sick and the ones who feel their best years are behind them. Not forgetting the ones who are tentatively trying to find their why and how and are to anxiety riddled to take they're first step into uncertainty.
Kindness is a feather and light and a gentle soul, and it’s found in the unexpected. The good morning and a smile that reaches others eyes. A...

Precious
How can I love when I don’t know how to .
I have tried but it is often denied and I started to realise why . I can’t feel or touch anything as precious as love is . It is delicate and fragile and deserves to be treated with trust and honesty to make it fly . I have the honesty tick that off the list but I don’t have the trust . So its not loves fault put simply its mine .

An iridescent bow of hope
May the light
Wrap around you
In its pearl opulence
Dressed in silk
Tied up with
An iridescent bow
of hope
Wrap around you
In its pearl opulence
Dressed in silk
Tied up with
An iridescent bow

Let the sun put its hat on .
I watch the night pull down the shutter it's Pj time and cocoa and getting ready to tuck yourself in . I stand a while in the crisp cool air looking to find that one lone star, who looks out of sorts mirroring me. I found one way past my garden tree it looks like it's lost its sparkle or maybe it's having a snooze.
I just want though to nudge the sun and say come on you up there you have work to be done. Shine as we are all in this together let's not forget that and send your rays and vibes to all who need to feel a warm comfort blanket when they feel that nobody cares. I make my...

Sweet Dreams
In the quiet solitude with only myself and my thoughts they drift to you, like leaves twisting in glee as they dance with the breeze or raindrops that found there window panes with a pitter pattering . In the echoes of silence I hear you as if a pin dropped and you burst into a reverberating sound at the back of my mind and sliding with a beat to the crevices of just between my breast bone . I feel the ache of wanting but not knowing how to take as the day breaks .
In the darkness and security of not being seen the night wraps around me as a cosy blanket and I see you when I...

A to B
I was on a route to A to B and got stopped by a X. I felt perplexed as I had learnt my alphabet in earnest when I was small. On the way to school reciting the letters in conformity and hands held in simplicity and a blanket of unconditional love. Nothing is as transparent as then or as orderly and uncomplicated.
You expected to find yourself at B but life gave you the finger and gave you the X with you are on your own kid. I mean this isn’t fair game I have got to find my own diversion without a clue to find my B. Nobody tells you life is not like the alphabet a structure of...

GLOCKENSPIEL
I never knew that a touch of a hand could make your body feel that it’s been reborn as your hand caresses my cheek. I feel you in the callouses, this hand has worked hard for his keep, my whole-body shivers at your touch.
I feel a charge of electricity, it’s strikes me, just like the hours of a clock. In this present moment I have never felt more alive in my life. I know I will never be able to forget that feeling and my eyes are wide eyed totally dumb founded that I cannot speak but I promise you I am not on crack .
How can your hand, your touch, make me feel...

Nothing more to say you lose yourself in the same cliche's . Not a single iota of a new course of action just the identical day but a different week.
You want to change yourself but to get it you have to break all the pieces of you that hold your hands cuffed behind your back .
That's almost waxing lyrical as if you were a master in tricks but it’s Houdini without the key and it’s wrapped in sad truths you’ve got yourself in a catch twenty two. It’s not a scene in a melodrama it’s your life .
Scene by scene and it’s going by way to fast like a...

What’s the conversation.
Your eyes have me mesmerised, I feel like I have dropped into the depths of the bluest ocean. Seeing everything it has to offer for the first time.
When you smile your eyes light up just as the moon does in the darkness. You attract and I can’t help but stare and get lost in your eyes and wonder what’s behind them. You on the inside I just can’t work out this equation.
So, I remain silent in admiration, eyes that speak a thousand words without a single syllable. A silent language, conveyed by oval shaped sapphires and framed with black sweeping eye lashes. I imagine...

Sunshine and walking in the rain .
To feel arms that want to hold you .
To be kissed and feel it .
To be missed and appreciated.
To be smiled at in that secret way
It’s you and me against the world.
To adore a face and a voice as they
say your name and you miraculously
hear it miles away .
To think about them and wonder if
they are thinking about you at the
same time.
To watch the clock tick tock until the
end of the day no more work with
them it’s just play .
These little things all encompass the
many aspects of love .
How euphoric...

Twist and Shake .
When you are feeling blue and stressed why do your senses think it's a good time to party all day and might.
You can't sleep as your mind is faster than your broadband it's on speed at 301 terabits per second.
But your body is on the opposite side of the coin your legs and feet you would swear on the holy bible in court that they have been filled with cement. The only saving grace is that they haven't set yet.
Why has your hearing morphed into that of a bat at 120dB its a constant hammering of a pneumatic drill that makes you jump out of your skin.
Your eyes have...

Living
If you want something so badly what do you have to do to take it . Fall to your knees begging and asking the big man upstairs to lend a hand . Or do you stand up despite the fears that truly make you want to bend . To accept less but you will be paying for the rest of your days . As resentment is a vengeful force and it will eat you up and spit you out in all that you remain.
Fear can be rocket fuel if you take it as it sizes you up it is counting on your retreat. If it was a betting man it’s money is on a definite cert it’s going to win without any bets taken it sees you shaking...
