Expert – DP

lizaaitken

You are extremely professional,

an expert in your game.

Your clearly far superior,

to the others who do the same.

You are an artist in your craft,

artworks are like no other.

So can you play the game of life,

be at one with one another?

Your works of art astounding,

they prove to be the best.

Professionally speaking now,

you pass on every test.

Your flying high on all counts,

so far in front of me.

But will you share what you have,

for all the world to see?

x

People crowd to hear you,

file to get your book,

Your name is in the media,

everybody looks.

Your time is not for nothing,

you command a mighty fee.

But when it comes to those in need,

will you give yourself for free?

Old friends are there at just the time, you need them most to be.

Old friends are few and far between, I’ve only really three.

Old friends have past the test of time, they have wiped away the tears.

Old friends have been protectors, throughout the painful years.

Old friends know what your thinking, before it leaves your lips.

Old friends have all the answers, if you ever took their tips.

Old friend are wrapped in memories, very special treasures.

Old friends to me the only ones, who really have my measure.

Cheat – DP

lizaaitken

Avoiding you is easier, as my eyes avert your gaze.
Sidestepping the emotions, that only time will fade.
Missing precious moments, as I cast them from my mind.
Escaping memories of you,  of smiles so hard to find.
Cheating pain and suffering, I’ve stored it deep within.
It’s easier to evade the hurt, until new life begins.

Mistake – DP

It was a mistake to let you walk away without telling you I cared.
But your loving declaration found me somewhat unprepared.
I laughed at what you shared with me, not believing it was true.
You must have thought me very cruel to make a fool of you.
I’m feeling so much sadness now, you have a new love so real.
I’ve learnt the hard way sure enough, I hope my heart will heal.

Lessons from your Blogs

I’ve learnt a lot today and I’ve only been up about an hour.

Learnt from reading your blogs, wow, what amazing power.

Isn’t it just fabulous, that I learn from what you say.

Like on photography, in taking shots, the very best of ways.

And commenting, how I should, to show an author I care.

Via posts, on how, to carefully put my words out there.

On love and life, on success and on every other topic.

Finding messages in your posts however microscopic.

My agenda, to read some more, while I drink my coffee.

I’ve dived into the blogging world, so what on earth can stop me.

Obvious ?

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.

Letting Go

.

To let go of what doesn’t serve me,

will one day set me free.

No longer fearful, I’ll take flight,

without those cares, just me.

I’ll settle where my fancy takes,

and stay a little while.

I’ll dance around joyous folk,

those that help me smile.

Again I’ll head along my path,

absent of guilt or pain.

In the universe I’ll travel far,

until I return again.
