Random update

Good Sunday All

I thought I would update on my general life as poetry is coming in bursts that have no included today on thier list of appearances. Last night I went with my niece and my sister and her partners sister to the carnival, It was so much fun with a child seeing her face light up when she likes something was priceless. (Not so priceless when the big floats scared her aww).

So the short stories are coming along slowly, I mean snails pace slowly but stay tuned when they are done they will appear here first for your reading pleasures.

All the best people stay tuned etc you never know these days when a new poem will suddenly grace me and you with its prescence.

Mwah to all xx

Oh heres a new pic of me I am still alive see lol.

Finding Yourself

So what happens when you realise yourself?
When you suddenly figure out who you really are
What about where you have ended up?
How do you apply your revelations to your existing life?
Does it happen on its own naturally?
Must you force it into its place?
Will you hide it, push it back down?
How would it feel to embrace it?
So take a journey, find yourself, scare yourself, love yourself.

The Right Path

Who can tell where this will lead? Who among us can see how it will end?
Trust in the universe or destiny or probability whichever you choose to follow.
Trust that it will always lead you,
Guide you to the exact place at the exact time you are meant to be there.
I always say everything happens for a reason, I do not always see it at the time,
Eventually I see the reasoning and can accept the past
I always know deep down I will gain something positive from these negatives,
Life is balanced, you just have to look.
Observe from a different perspective.

Where Is She?

Pacing the street hoping to glimpse what she once saw so clearly here
Her life has changed so dramatically so violently
Her view is now clouded by the poisonous clouds
Engulfing her mind slowly infecting her soul
Where is her peace her light her happiness?

Nothing

Blackened tear stains her cheek
She has again been betrayed
Her world again crushed
Her universe engulfed in the nothingness
She realises her tears now dry
She does not feel anything the nothingness takes hold.

Family Ties

You know I think it is possible to have many families of varying degrees in your lifetime. Biological families, friendships that feel like family, online families these days also.

My idea of what a family is: A group of people who love you, care for you, worry for you and are there for you when you need them. Biological bonds do not always create a family atmosphere or feeling, some families act like complete strangers never speaking to one an other, some are enemies with no love for each other, no care no positive feelings toward each other. Can these types of Biological families really be called a family at all?

I am lucky I have a wonderful family some live close by others live in various countries around the world. Although some of us have never met face to face we seem to do well at keeping in touch more so since the Internet appeared. But even before that we had phone calls at Christmas, letters or card throughout the year and such. Always asking how everyone is and worrying if someone is unwell we all communicate well with each other wherever possible.
Then I have my really close friends, the ones I feel like I am related to like sisters or brothers in some cases by the way certain friends have taken care of me in the past even parental roles have appeared. They have always been there for me just like my family through thick and thin, and I have always tried to be there for them I have worried for them I love them and I would do anything for them.

More recently I re entered the RPG world online, I used to play WoW and slipped out of it a year or so ago. But I found I was missing that kind of interaction with people. So I joined another site. I wont say what site but those of you who do know will have heard all about it ha ha. But within this virtual reality I have joined a clan/family and it really is just like having a family, they look out for each other, they care whats going on with other people in game and I imagine in some cases in real life too.

So I do think it is possible to feel part of many different families be they biological or not. So long as those around give you a feeling of family and you feel close to them, maybe in some cases even closer than a biological family, can they then not be described as family?

What are the other opinions out there do you all think the title of family is just reserved for parents, siblings, guardians?

Happiness?

The secret to happiness lays in the eyes of those you love
In the smiles and laughter on their faces you can create
It does not lay in wealth or greed
It does not lay in obtaining power or rule
Create happiness where ever you are and it will live and grow within you too.

Serenity

Submerged in your ocean like eyes
A comfort takes hold
Calms every inch of my body
I begin to drown with no desire to be saved
A feeling of complete serenity washes over me
Drags me deeper holds me under
I will not fight
I will not struggle
Against the serenity usually so hard to find and feel.

Untitled 1

Breathed her in and never want to exhale
For fear of letting out her essence
It fills my lungs
Is carried around my organs
In my now excited blood cells
Filling me with a feeling
So intense and yet so soothing.

Grandpa

Its is 8 years today since my Grandpa died so I thought I would share with you something I wrote just after he passed on.

I wasn’t there the day you left
I was alone in a strange place
But I knew when it happened
She held your hand
As you slipped away
You knew it was time

You are missed
She cried each night
She carries you in her heart
And will till her time

Wherever she goes
She knows you are there
Right by her side
Ready to guide

I respected you
I looked up to you
But you were her rock
Her light in the dark

She knew when to stop
Oh you and your look
But never will you be forgotten
And pushed to the bottom
We know you are there
Just watching and waiting.
