THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
The love of my life was only a whisper
A slight ripple of air, an almost silent sigh
The love of my life came so close beside me
I could almost touch him, as he breathed with me
Saw through me, almost standing by my side
Almost, but not quite
We were just out of reach
We tried for each other
But just couldn't see
How to stand face to face
How to truly be real
So step by step we back away
Nail on nail, the coffin is sealed
It seems we're letting go
Losing hope, giving up
It seems what bound us close
Is becoming forgotten now
Our love
That once burned so strong
Is now fading from view
And now I stand alone
When once all I felt beside me was you
If a love like that can falter
Can stumble, can fall
How can I go on to believe
That soulmate love exists at all?
Maybe this planet
No such treasure can hold
No such ecstacy, no such entwining
Two hearts to one, just cannot mould
Maybe the only place for that
Is in the moon among the stars
On journeys of imagination
In playrooms, in idyllic places, located somewhere afar
Far, far away
Where rainbows shine on
Where pure hearts can survive
Where we can live as one
The love of my life came to me from nowhere
Took over my heart, became my all
But just as suddenly, he left, he faded away
Maybe the truth is, he was never really here at all.

This poem is a little unusual in style for me. I was working on a love poem yesterday and all of a sudden, I got this one 'fly in'. I thought maybe I should share it straight away with you all :)
I dedicate it to all the single mothers (and fathers) out there and children everywhere that have to grow up too soon.
INVISIBLE ANGELS
"Why is your hand shaking, Mummy?
What is that tear in your eye?
Why are you trembling, Mummy?
Please Mummy, please don't cry
"I need you to be strong for me
I've never seen you weak
If anything happens to you, Mummy
What will happen to me?
"Will they take me far away
And I won't see you for a while?
Who will read me magical stories
Make believe with me
Give me beautiful, princess smiles?
"What can I do to help you, Mummy?
Why are you so alone?
How come they left you to struggle, Mummy?
Will we lose our home?
"Your face, it doesn't look the same
Your eyes are swollen and red
Please stop sobbing so hard, Mummy
Why do you look so scared?
"It'll be alright, Mummy
I know you can sort everything out
You're always telling me God is watching over us, Mummy
Have you forgotten that?
Do we need to pray together out loud?
"Please let me come and hug you, Mummy
See how nice it feels my fingers on your cheek?
It will all be alright, Mummy
Just give my little hand a big, tight squeeze
"There, there. You go to sleep now
I'll whisper you a song
And look after you, as you've looked after me
Together, we'll be strong"

Poems come to me in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times...This one was drafted on the back of a Pick and Mix bag and my entry ticket at the movie theatre (I had no paper on me - unusually!!), while the trailers were playing. I still have the bag and ticket...:) For some reason, I started to see a rainbow twirling and whirling in my tummy and out the poem came....magical....Enjoy!!
INTO THE LIGHT
I stumble forward into the light
The sun bears down upon my skin
Grown pale through that time
I was lost in the darkness within
I find myself near the top of a mountain
Emerging from a hidden cave, blinking in the sunlight
Inside me, a new feeling is breaking through
A twirling, whirling rainbow fills me up
Warm, hazy, colourful - my heart is thawing at last
My face to the sun, I stand at the edge
Surveying the beauty of this view
Finally, my soul has returned and I can say
'Thank you'
Without your cruelty, I would not have known the joy of this release
Without your lies, I would not have treasured so much those who uphold the truth
Without your ruthlessness, I may never have seen the kindness of certain souls
Without your taking me into the shadows, I would not have arrived at the light of this new day
And without the path you led me down, I would not have reached this place
This place where he stood waiting for me all along
He takes my hand. Warm and strong
No fear. No more. His heart is just like mine.
Clear and pure.
Honest and giving.
A blend like this I never knew.
Without the death you took me to, I would not have experienced this living.
I came this way because of you
And only because of you.
I found this place of heaven, because it was on the other side of the hell you pushed me through.
And for that, I truly thank you.

I often write while 'on the move' in some way...this poem was written a little while ago, while driving...the lines just came to me as I travelled...Enjoy :)
HEART TALK
Our voices are silent, strangled
As our lives have become estranged
But in the stillness and quiet moments, it seems
Your heart still knows my heart's name
I'll be driving along, calm and at peace
When suddenly I get this feeling of inner unease
The same happens when I'm out, enjoying a walk
And now I come to realise that, although we are silent
Our hearts still talk
I didn't think it possible
I honestly didn't know
That amidst the wreckage of that ending
Somehow those two hearts would still glow
Although everything has been done
To well and truly move on
And other hearts knock at my door
There's a clear conversation going on
It seems can't be stopped
Between my heart and yours
I raise my eyes to the sky
I see the sun breaking through
I pray for peace
For me and for you
The error you made
Left our hearts restless and entwined
It seems they won't follow the decision
You made in your mind
They don't feel that same fear
That you allowed to win
They have things that need to be said
And they won't give in
In the quiet moments
By day and by night
I hear our hearts talking
Trying to say 'goodbye'

What do you get when you mix a Singer-songwriter and a Poetess on You Tube?
Inspired by my poem 'Heart Talk', Mel wrote some music to create the song 'Our Hearts' (lyrics below, taken mainly from my original poem)...Check out his Channel if you have not come across him before - his songs are GREAT!!!

OUR HEARTS
Our voices are silent, strangled
Our lives have become estranged
But in the stillness and the quiet moments, it seems
Your heart still calls my heart's name
Driving along, calm and at peace
I get this uneasy feeling
It happens when I'm out, living my life
Now I see that though we are silent
Our hearts still talk
I didn't think it was possible
I guess I really didn't know
That amidst the wreckage of that ending
Somehow those two hearts would still glow
Everything has been done
To well and truly move on
Other hearts knock at our doors
But there's a clear conversation going on
It seems it can't be stopped
Between my heart and yours
I raise my eyes to the sky
I see the sun breaking through
I pray for peace
For me and for you
The error that you made
Left our hearts still restless and entwined
It seems they don't feel the thoughts
That you keep there in your mind
They don't feel the fear
That you allowed to win
They have some things that need to be said
And they'll never give in
And in the quiet moments
By day and by night
I hear our hearts talking
Trying to say 'goodbye'
Trying to say 'goodbye'
Trying to say 'goodbye'

Based on a true story.......
Now I apologise to those of you wanting me to get in front of the cam - still awaiting my technology! The poems won't wait however - so here is another reading video - BUT - when the little pink box opens in the poem - you may find Sunbeam hiding somewhere in there...I'm shy ;)....xx
LITTLE PINK BOX
He packed me away, in a little pink box
A sweet, little box. A little pink box.
He packed me away in a little pink box
So he could try and forget me.
He tucked all my treasures in a little pink box
And wrapped them in tissue, so softly forlorn
He tucked me away in a little pink box
So he would always know where to find me.
So he could caress me and hold me close
Remember my wonders, ponder our shared joy
Keep me all to himself, in silky imprisonment
He locked me away in a little pink box
So no-one else could ever find me
Each day all alone, he guiltily visits me
Pulls out each token, each photograph, my image to see
Touches my face, feels the warmth of my smile
Lets his heart open, lets his soul fly free for a while
And just for a moment, he has me back in his arms
There was no goodbye, I still see his charms
And just for a moment, our love is still there
In my heart, in his, all around us, in air
Then he shuts me away in that sweet little box
That only he gets to see
He hopes one day, he will forget
He will move on, have no regrets
He hopes the lies he told will fade
The wrongs he did, the way he betrayed
The reason I said goodbye will turn to dust
And all that will be left of what was us
Will lie within this pretty pink box
Of hazy, hazy memories
But try as we might to tuck away
Those feelings we felt another day
Our hearts won't be told when we try to force them
Soul bonds once formed aren't so easily broken
So day after day, he locks me away
In the little pink box, by his side I will stay
He locks his heart too and hopes no one will see
The secret he keeps hidden.
The secret that's me.
He locked me away in a little pink box.
I wonder when I will fly free

So, ShanethePoet tagged me in this naked Vlog Tag game....what was a Poetess to do? Especially one who had only just dared to get in front of the cam clothed!!
Well, grab a YouTube man and get on with it, I suppose :)
Loosely based on the wonderful drawing scene from the movie Titanic, Trent Donovan (Dave) and I combined to become James Cameron directing this scene for your viewing pleasure :)
Of course, we had a lot less budget, technical this and that at our disposal, and 3000 miles between us to contend with - but we took the approach that no mountain is too high when you know the view at the top will be worth the climb :)
I want to thank TrentDonovan for his dedication to sorting through many, many clips of me near naked...somebody had to do it...lol!! For all his work editing and for being such a wonderful friend and fun to work with!!
If you haven't checked his Channel out yet - please DO!! This guy has talent by the bucketload, and has many, many GREAT videos!!

ENJOY!! and THANKS FOR WATCHING!! :)

Well, if anyone had told me when I woke up this morning that today I would be uploading a karaoke video - I would not have believed them!! But here I am!!
JoAnn (luvpurebs) dared me to do one and so I thought I would just for fun. So, BE KIND :) I am not a singer obviously...but I do LOVE this song and dedicate it to someone ...err...I would...kind of...like to 'kiss me'...lol...;)
KISS ME - SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER
Kiss me out on the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing that spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon is sparkling
So kiss me
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
Video Honours - thanks to all of you wonderful people who came, watched. commented and rated!!
