POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
And without a date
Walking all alone along, the beach on summers night
Here is something that I found, to be a small delight
As I wander through the sand I look upon the sea
Is that just the image of a man whos here with me
As I no im dreaming, as I look out further on
Oh I feel disheartened as I see now that hes gone
I walk a little farther, and kick along the sand
I think about what I just saw and outward stretch my hand
I think of how he'll walk right up, and take my hand in his
The comfort of a hand in mine, is so sorely missed
I look up to the sky above,...

I am me
I am me and who I see
Is the one I want to be
With my golden wavey hair
With a heart of gold to care
Like a broken pot of clay
Can it be, fixed up to stay
To be strong, and take a fall
To be thrown against a wall
Yes it can with with glue to seal
With TLC so it can feel
It wont be broken any more
Stand still and steady on the floor
Like a cutting from a tree
Soaked in water, roots to see
Planted in the soil now
Not too long and its in flower
Such with me and I do know
Take some time, but I will grow
Back...

Look and see
Please look now, and you can see
The little girl, she is just me
The girl who laughed and jumped and played
The one when you were sad, she stayed
But did you care, when she laid bare?
When all her life she had to fear?
When she called and cried and screamed
Did you care? no you just beamed
At all the injuries you caused
Was there some time,where you had paused?
To see the pains you were inflicting
I see them now, its all so sickening
But now, I have the one who cares
And takes away my hurtful fears

I see
I look upon the sky above
I no its full, of gods true love
Ive been among the sins of life
Ive felt at times, it ends by knife
But I now know, theres better things
Richer more than diamond rings
Love from where ive never felt
Bashes there, and then a belt
But now I have, more life to live
So much more, that I can give
I have been, to places known
Sadnesses, and haters shown
Now I see the light above
Graces as a flying dove
Im aware of who I see
And the place I want to be
Too long now, ive lived in hate
No...

the new
Never stay where pain is strong
Listen to your favourate song
Then decide where you want you
Lifes too short for feeling blue
Take your pride, your love, your self
Go and find a life of wealth
You dont need much to survive
Just the need to stay alive
Take the plunge and think of you
For yourself only, just be true
Will others really care enough
To help you through, when your not tough
To get yourself, out of your pain
Is it just, for all their gain
To say "I was there to help you out"
Bottom line, your full of doubt...

walk with me
The lane I walk of twists and turns
My feet and heart so full of burns
But I no through my life till now
Youve been with me, and I see how
At times Ive felt so much alone
My love of life I could have thrown
But you have held me up and strong
At times I thought, how very wrong
That you would make me go through this
Now my life has turned to bliss
I look back now and see my trials
Now safely tucked away, in files
Of my life which was the old
My life was one big hateful mold

tired
Positive they say, is how to be
Is it so easy to just be me
To raise above the hurts and pain
To feel I have a life to gain
To smile, laugh and joke and play
How many times, I have to pray
To ask for just a chance to live
To see that someone else can give
Instead of always being me
The one who has to cry to see
Sick of all the take, take, take
Stop it now for goodness sake
Walk away, just like you do
Im so used to feeling blue
Tired of the games you play
Tired of the things you say

Why Bother
Days of chat, you'll stop and talk
Others days just walk your walk
cant work out whats wrong with you
your ups and downs just make me blue
Why speak once and not again
Your ignorance is just a shame
My biggest day id had as yet
You pulled away as our eyes met
You held your stance so far from me
This day was ment for me you see
How dare you steal my day away
My mood was hapi, fun and play
Friends is what I thought we were
Your distance to me is a blur
You turned away, your distance far
Off to the carpark, into your car
Well that...

My Him
Years of seeking love so true
Finds us feeling sadly blue
Never seems to come for real
They lie and cheat and hit and steal
But I no deep inside my heart
The nastys now for good, depart
Deep within my heart so strong
The man for me, he wont be wrong
I no when time for him, arrives
Will be the new for both our lives
I have him set in my mind
Hes cute and nice and really kind
He will be mine, and just for me
No one else will get to see
The man who makes my life complete
Hes happy, stable, really neat
He will love me this I no...

inside of me
Living deep beneath my soul
The little girl in darkest hole
Climbs out from beneath the rubble
Lifetime hurts and painful trouble
Looks to future drapped in dread
Will she end up sadly dead
No, shes far from what she feared
Someone round her, really cared
Out she climbs from hurts now healed
To a shining sunny field
Of hopes and dreams and love to come
Far from things been dealt from some
Looking to the life now seeing
From things that were past being
Full of saddness, loss and pain
Now a heart thats full of gain ...

Forgiveness
All through life we suffer pain
Tiz not through payback, that we gain
Is only with our self respect
To be the bigger one, and yet
Dispite the anger filled within
So easy sort, without the sin
To look the culprit in the eye
And say to them without a sigh
I forgive the things you do
For deep within, it is not you
It is the pain youve suffered past
Thats send my way for you to cast
I see the pain within your eyes
I feel at times youve said goodbyes
For all the pains you wish would heal
So deep within again youd feel
The love and joy...

Spoken words
Unbeknown, our words are strong
They can be sung, out as a song
We cease to realise just how much
Language has effect, and such
Many times we speak aloud
So much said within a crowd
The words we speak are what we reep
Not always is, it what we seek
Powerful, is what we say
Words are heard, as when we pray
Much speech is, said out strong
Many of, which is so wrong
What we speak, is what we get
Have you not, realised yet
What we reep, is what we sow
Sometimes takes much time to no
Speak out of, just what you wish
Whats not...
