Love is really the only answer, isn’t it obvious.
In response to the daily prompt – obvious
From the Heart

Random thoughts I can’t compose,
come spilling through my mind.
Fine scattering of vague memories,
net curtains their hiding behind
Like petals dropping one by one,
letting go just to disappear.
I pray they’ll stay a moment more,
please bring my loved ones near.
I used to think it quite sensible,
owning a tidy, working mind.
But as days go on not as obvious,
in the love I’m trying to find.

~
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.
~

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.
