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
