From the Heart
Taking time to sit a while,
to contemplate what’s real.
It does’t take an awful lot,
it’s only time that we steal.
Focus on an empty mind,
let thoughts just fall away.
Fall like petals on the wind,
as those branches sway.
To find a space of stillness,
so vast and full of peace.
Just focus on a quiet breath,
let any movement cease.
This time is of the essence,
as so crucial in our lives.
Taking time to just be you,
to rid our lives of strife.

I haven’t any qualms right now,
I’m truly showing myself.
I’m comfortable with who I am,
that’s not like anyone else.
I belive in authenticity,
and I’m comfortable in my skin.
I haven’t always been like this,
I was always just like my kin.
~
It takes a while to find yourself,
longer still to let it show.
That small child has vanished now,
she’s from so long ago.
I thrive today on my uniqueness,
I’m really liking who I am.
You see, if I can come to terms with me,
then anybody can.
~
If I’ve a qualm about anything,
it’s why I waited so long.
We come to find ourselves here,
before our lives are gone.
Let us not focus so much on the past,
it’s me who stands here today.
And anyone who isn’t too sure,
has every right to walk away.

Daily Prompt Word ~ Qualm
I want to walk out to the shoreline,
but I’m not wearing the right shoes.
I must come back again tomorrow,
with footwear I can abuse.
I’m looking out to nothingness,
while sitting here on this rock.
That it’s so calm and peaceful now,
is quite a culture shock.
The sun is shining brightly still,
though it’s heading home to bed.
I like this part of Worthing now,
it sort of clears my head.

Some photos of the sea, two minutes from my flat. I’m not keen on the town but love the space to seashore provides.

Everything is just temporary,
nothing will last for good.
Everything will die one day,
it seems crazy but it should.
You see we all out grow this place,
manmade objects too.
New things comes to overtake,
there won’t be a rescue.
No one knows how long they have,
it could be very soon.
If we didn’t die one day,
there wouldn’t be enough room.
So everything is temporary,
we must enjoy it at the time.
Don’t save it for a rainy day,
use while the weathers fine.

I’m not bitter,
that it could have been me.
For not one tiny second,
now don’t you see.
I’m raging inside,
although you can’t tell.
No one can see,
that I’m living in hell.
It was a bitter pill,
the day I let you win.
As it’s only for me,
that you now have him.
You’re sweetness and light,
yes I can see,
too much sugar,
he could of had me.
You’ll bore him to tears
with your ideas,
I would have amused him
for many a year.
Bitterness
never helped put things right.
you won him fair,
I’ll give up the fight.

By the way this is a joke post, it didn’t happen!
I haven’t any curtains yet,
so there I’m a little exposed.
If you look into my windows,
I won’t necessarily pose.
My place is nice and tidy,
I like to keep it clean.
But then I suppose I should,
as it’s likely to be seen.
If you think that you can see me,
know I see you too.
I won’t twitch behind the curtains,
I’ll stare right back at you!
~
Exposed
It’s not so bad to be exposed,
as it’s really just being real.
Trouble is it takes us a while,
to understand what we feel.
We need to feel true confidence,
to know we speak the truth.
Takes some time to build it up,
it’s not something of our youth.
When we reach a place in time,
that we really know ourselves.
Worry not of what others think
or have fear of being exposed.
~
I could have panicked,
just given up,
or put my head in the sand.
But that wouldn’t have helped me much,
so I gave myself a hand.
I collected buckets of determination,
kicked away my fears.
I stood up for what I believed in,
in the most horrible of years.
I called my best friends around me,
and they turned up in droves.
I might have panicked for a moment,
but I didn’t and it shows.
~
Panicked
It was with a jolt that I woke up,
although was I really I asleep.
Was it you that whispered my name,
as so safe, so soft, so deep.
I cast my eyes into emptiness,
I’m silently calling your name.
Remembering you’ve gone away,
you’re not coming back again.
You linger here, I’m hanging on,
my mind is so full up of you.
But you’re elsewhere living life,
I’ve seen all the things you do.
I wish that we had worked it out,
that I could call you my man.
Sometimes in my day dreams,
I almost believe that I can.
I’m all alone without you now,
wondering if you think of me.
Are you in another dark room,
recalling how things used to be.

I know your weak it’s clear to see,
you’d rather bury your head.
But I’d respect you so much more,
if you spoke to me instead.
I believe in those that are honest,
not in those who make up lies.
I really need to let go of this now,
cut at those well worn ties.
I wish you well as you go on your way,
as you’re no good for me now.
But I send love and hope behind you,
well I’m trying hard anyhow.
