go on

"GO ON"

go today, go tomorrow, but just go
make my world a part of yours
wish it true
be it true
flash forward
protect your right to speak
say what you think
but keep your balance

sunday scribblings

for sunday scribblings, "where do YOU come from"
*this seemed appropriate this week, so for my nan, may god watch over and keep her*

those who came before her
she comes from the strength of them
that group of sturdy women
long lives and long memories
happiness and sadness
she longs to be like her nan
remembering the good
not the bad
making a smile
or a slymischievous grin
a wink
nimble hands up through her 101st year
she moves to a faster beat now
in the light watching over all of us

days gone by

watching arsenic and old lace
laughing over the comic gags
cary grant's typical funny faces
the hollywood heart throb
long gone
still remembered
he makes us smile
brightens our day
timeless.

trusting....

"trust and responsibility"

he regarded her aloofness. her manner had changed and he was unable to pin-point what it was that was new. she looked the same.
she smelled the same, probably better even. but she was distant and pushed away from him, as though protected by a bubble of safety. she flashed green eyes at him and he smiled. her guard dropped that quickly, for just a moment, only to return when she saw his smile.
suddenly he realised it, a light bulb moment as his son would say. "she doesn't trust you idiot, you haven't proved yourself to her yet," he thought.

sunday scribblings #152

sunday scribblings "lost"

she opens her eyes slowly
takes in her surroundings
attempts to shake the lost in the dark feeling
she shivers knowing she isn't really cold
but nervous
recalls to last night
glass of wine
wink kiss smile
she knows
feels warmer
not nervous, happy
scent of coffee
music singing
one voice
home at last
from far away
stay, don't go again!

beginning

"beginning"
the way it started
a way it began
drawn in
eyes the colour of rich coffee
drowning in possession
never forgetting
the memory of it
long ago, far away
continue on
passing years
moving on
no illusions
him with her
her with him
feeling what?
confusion
looking at her
knowing her
deep within that webbed circle
chained to the past
just one more time
the passion obsession
restored
removed
renewed.

springtime

"signs of spring"

grey fluffy clouds float overhead
the roar of a jet engine heard
geese fly vees south or north
huge black birds circle
pale green shoots
red tinged maple tree
snowmen melt shovels wilt
white chair sits forlornly waiting
more signs of spring

the song

strains of an old song
(was it kate bush?)
memories of old
(before diapers and playdates)
a calm time
(frightening and cold)
a dark room icy windows
(no one to love)
(no one to hold)
black eyes wet face
the song fades out
(love your today)
(cherish your now)
