Where do you go to?

lizaaitken

 

Where do you go to when you sleep,

have you ever seen me?

I travel the universe and back,

it’s in great colour that I see.

Met a good man who woke me up,

I very clearly saw his face.

The sky was gold and a sea of blue,

I’m not sure of the place.

He gently put his hands upon me,

I saw through to his soul.

It was in that very moment of time,

that my heart he stole.

He wrapped it with a ribbon,

before opening it out so wide.

I felt this all throughout me,

as tears of happiness I cried.

Where do you go to when you sleep,

have you met him as well.

I’m sure you think him magnificent,

through his eyes you can tell.

Have you heard a voice in your dreams,

gently carrying you through.

I know that he’s from another place,

I wish I could be there too.

But try as I might I cannot get there,

as he always comes to me.

I just wish that he’d come more often,

I think I love him you see.

But I know that he can never be mine,

he’s only helping me along.

Maybe one day I’ll get to that place,

to find that he has just gone.

Poppy has the builders at home so came to hang out with me.  She was all of a tremble when she arrived as the last time she saw me I swooped in to her place for my friend, to drop her at the vets, anyway she’s okay now, calmed down a little bit.

I’m not sure she was expecting the cat in the mirror. She’s been walking up and down like a lioness watching that other cats every move 😊

Lovingly

lizaaitken

Lovingly you looked at me,

as you walked out of the door.

Eyes so soft and soothing,

I’ll remember them for sure.

Lovingly you said farewell,

and you blew me one last kiss.

I thought you’d be returning,

at least that was my wish.

Lovingly I think of you now,

your never far from my mind.

A love so true and honest,

would be impossible to find.

I have your picture hanging,

on the wall just near the door.

Your loving eyes still watch me,

and they shall forevermore.

How can I….

lizaaitken

How can I possibly resist you,

there’s nothing to compare.

There such a richness to you,

you drown away my cares.

You’re bold yet understated,

there is a velvet undertone.

When I see you on the shelf,

I just have to take you home.

😉

Loving todays Daily Prompt as there are so many things I can’t Resist

Close to Midnight 

lizaaitken

So we’re getting close to midnight, 

the clock is almost there.

Only two and a half seconds away,

but does anybody care.

It has gone forward thirty seconds, 

we are closer to the end.

The hands of time are moving fast, 

on that you can depend.

So who out there will stop the tick, 

stand up for what is right.

Resist the false and bring us back, 

before doomsday tonight.

Yellow

lizaaitken

Your energy lights up my world, 

you are always bright.

Your sunny face of happiness, 

helps me feel alright.

Your sweeping vibrant colour, 

spreads across the land.

The way you mirror sunshine, 

makes my heart expand.

Your whispers are so gentle, 

soft and rather mellow.

The sweetest little daffodils, 

I love your happy yellow.  🌼

Ten bits of Me

lizaaitken

 

  1. I love fiercely as I was raised in the most wonderful family. My mother raised me and my sister alone, she was amazing, pure strength and love and that’s what she taught us. We are strong because a strong women raised us and we love easily because we were raised in love
  2. I share if I have it to give, as that’s how I was brought up. If one of us has it and the other doesn’t then it is theirs, it belongs to all of us. It all works out in the end because it balances out, we all go through good times and leaner times and it’s good to know your family are there for you. Sharing isn’t only about money, it’s about the giving of yourself.
  3. I wear my heart on my sleeve (you might have noticed) 😉 I was brought up with truth and taught to be honest and therefore can’t be anything else, I say what I think and feel. Mum used to tell me to hold my cards a bit closer to my chest and not expose myself so much, she warned of people who’s intentions are not as good and not to trust so much but I always struggled with this. I think it’s a bit late to change now, I am what I am and I trust in people to do right.
  4. I struggle with rejection, always have. My dad walked out on us as kids, I never really came to terms with that. I married a man exactly the same as my father and he left too (which in hindsight was a godsend). I struggle with being told I’m not good enough and fear not being good enough, it’s something I’ve had to work on throughout my life.
  5. I’m a natural carer, I want to take care of people, especially those who are vulnerable.     I think this is just a natural part of me.  I always wanted to be a nurse as a child until I realised my stomach wouldn’t take it, I’m a tad squeamish. I like to look after people, feed and entertain too.
  6. I’m not good with money, I leave envelopes unopened and don’t budget.  I don’t like money, but I need it. I don’t like talking about money, how much you have etc, it leaves me with a bad taste.  I think money left in wills is not in any way generous, because none of us can take it with us.  If I have money, I want to share it while I’m here.
  7. I’m intuitive, I know what people are thinking and feeling however they are acting.  I’m an empath and tune into the feelings of others.  This has helped in my career of working with people and in life although I have had to learn to separate others feelings from my own.
  8. I’m a good cook, brought up on home cooking by a health fanatic.  I call my place ‘Liza’s Lounge’ and people check in when they arrive on Facebook.  I love to feed people and my friends like me to do the cooking.
  9. I love to walk and I love nature, give me the country side or a beach and I’ll walk for miles.  I will happily walk around the city too, walking clears my head and is something I have to do every day or I don’t sleep.
  10. My biggest achievement in life is being a mother myself and raising a wonderful son. I am so proud to think I have done this and love my son to the ends of the earth and back again.

Devastation

lizaaitken

I was devastated when you walked out on me.

Surprised, lonely, so confused as I hadn’t seen.

You pulled away the carpet, I fell upon the floor.

You tore me to small pieces as you left the door.

Throughout this devastation you just carried on.

For one moment we’re lovers, next you are gone.

What did you expect of me, stay just where I lay.

I’m sorry my old chaperone, I’ll live another day!
