From the Heart
~
The eyes are the windows of the soul,
so dive right in and see.
What lies behind the mask I wear,
come find the real true me.
The colour changes with my mood,
so come at the right time.
Green and blue and sometimes grey,
communicate my signs.
When lids are closed do not disturb,
it really wouldn’t be wise.
As I am dreaming and travelling far,
and watching with closed eyes.

Feast yourself on me,
I’m beautiful,
you have to see it’s true.
With eyes so green,
I pierce your soul,
and take control of you.
I am a warrior,
fierce
and proud,
I rule the shadows near.
Now pay me back
and fuss me now,
attentions needed here!

I’ve been looking after my friends cat and does he like a fuss. No chance of getting anything done when he’s about! There’s cat hair everywhere, clothes, laptop keyboard and up my nose. He’s adorable I grant you, but I can’t lavish him with love every moment of the day. I love him dearly but I’m so glad my friend came back today so life can resume as it should!
~
Oh deep full moon that controls all tides,
spend some time with me.
Wash away the sludge that’s gathered,
on the shores you cannot see.
Move what binds me as with seas,
clear out emotions that stay.
Control the pain that’s hidden deep,
please make it go away.

My trajectory is meaningful,
I’m projected out with force.
In following my pathway,
it can be hard to stay on course.
I think I know the destination,
until a rocket sends me off.
Holding on to my foundations,
and fighting hard to stay aloft.
But so it goes with pathways,
it’s the curves that cause a spin.
In order to remain on track,
we have to search within.

I question that I come to bare the fruits from that same tree.
Of all the mystery that unfolds, I cannot plainly see.
Why eternities not clearly signed and I still have to find my way.
You went before me up ahead, yet I’m still as blind today.
Reach out your kindness, walk by my side and help me as I go.
So I might set example here, in the love that I will sow.
The sun went down and I was scared, with darkness all around.
The moon popped up to comfort me, bright and full and round.
Don’t fear my love he said to me, I’ll see you through the night.
With gentle glow and smiling face, I knew that I’d be alright.
The ghost of my existence, weighs heavy on my mind.
On what I’ve given to this life, I’m finding hard to find.
I was selfish most the journey, put my own needs first.
If only I had remembered, what I came her for at birth.
Entering my Autumn years, the harvest has show to me.
All the things I should have done and couldn’t really see.
I wish to make amends now, to those whose love endured.
Who loved me despite my selfishness, I need to even score.
I’ll return to you in times of need, I’ll not depart this land.
Until I’ve paid you back in full, I hope you will understand.

Response to daily prompt – Ghost
The ghost of all our memories is haunting me inside.
With wails and cries it reaches out, I have no place to hide.
Whistles through my emptiness, jumps into my dreams.
It’s bound to my existence, it pains so much I scream.
If memories would settle down, depart and leave me free.
That would surely be the end, of what once was you and me.
I will carry you if you need me to,
I know that I can handle the load
Relax, please share your burdens,
It’s a long way to go on the road.
I can carry just a little portion,
of what your finding too hard to bare.
Let me lighten you of your worries,
there’s plenty enough to share.
Two are stronger than one you know,
and a worry shared is lighter.
Sit down and tell me your story,
and I promise you’ll feel brighter.
Life is as confusing as we make it. I have dreams that confuse me, disastrous dreams, like last night where the bank was closing in and I was in so much debt there was no way out. Is this a message for me to get my affairs in order or just a fear that finds its way to the surface when I’m asleep and not able to suppress it. This morning my immediate reaction was to fret and worry and then I opened my eyes and remembered I don’t do that anymore. I’m not supposed to have all the answers and life will work out as it should if I worry or not. I checked my bank account and an outstanding invoice had been paid, there, it was just an unconscious worry.
Confused is just another term for not having all the answers and I certainly don’t have them. Confusion also arises when we don’t feel in control, we don’t know which way to turn or who to listen to any any given moment. I don’t want to fight control any longer, I submit, have it your own way control. I’ll wait until it feels right or I’m inspired to move forward.
Some things I don’t mind finding a little confusing are crosswords, the rules to football and those that don’t ever think further than their day to day existence.
Life is as confusing as you allow it to be. I don’t give being confused much space now because it’s all a mystery we will find out at the end of the day and at the moment I’m in no particular hurry.
