Shall I compare thee to a summer night

Sorry Mr Shakespeare, for paraphrasing,
Plagiarising your famous line.
This summer night is rich and balmy,
The breeze ever so light
Soothing to the senses as it carries the scent of flowers in bloom
I long for the presence of my summer night, personified
Summer knight, if you will
The one who can soothe me
Inspire me,
fill me with wonder
Make me see this world in all its beauty
Make me experience life for the adventure it is,
Make me want to be the best me that I can be

October sun

In the sunlight of the mid afternoon, in end October
its rays caress the landscape around me,
the wheat fields, newly harvested, has a golden glow,
framed by the greenest of green, the colour of early summer.

In the distance a mountain towers,
A beacon
A likeness to this we have
As it grows bigger, closer, more beautiful
Inevitable and immovable

Sometimes a prayer is the the words we speak that we hope will be true.

Not often enough

prayer should be the words we speak which we believe will be true.

A promise

I am a loyal one
Will keep to my word
Will take a lot
For a promise

If a promise is broken,
even a small one,
The trust is gone

I expect a lot
Because I am prepared
To give a lot,
Take a lot

But once you break your promise
Even a little one
How do you expect
That I will keep believing?

I live in a soap opera
Well not really, but maybe, who knows?
So much happens,
Drama, intrigue, comedy
The road of life is long and winding
It takes us on strange roads we never expected
It is terrible, magical, the essence of life
Every day a mystery
So great, so promising and a little scary.
This thing called life is more than fiction
Better, livelier, more real

And dirtier than soap.

Believe

When  it is dark, and you cannot imagine the light,
Believe
When you are lonely, and you want to be held,
Believe
When you don’t know what tomorrow may bring,
Believe

Belief is a stronger word for Hope.
Hope in tomorrow, Hope in life, light, joy
Belief is so strong and yet so frail
So easily shaken by the tides of life
But whatever happens,
don’t turn away from your dreams

Believe.

I will cry my tears in silence

No person will have the right again
To make me sad
I love to trust, and  trust to love
And yet I set myself up  to
Fail
Hurt
Cry
I want to be strong,
Independent
Live this life alone
And yet i was not made for this
Iwas made to care, deep and honest
I will cry my tears in silence,
One last time.
I have to find it in myself to be strong, to protect
To guard myself, my heart, my tears
For someone worthy
Someone to care

Someone who will never want to make me cry.
