Heart Beat

Heart Beat

You came into all our lives so many years ago, it happened with heart beats

We shared our lives in so many ways, laughed and learn't, with heart beats

The love and genuine care was simple and real, and always with heart beats

During our lives there were many experiences, you created new heart beats

For those moments we can be so proud to have shared similar heat beats

Whilst your heart beats were cut short, you continue to breathe in our lives forever more.

Baz, we miss you, we feel for you, you were in our lives in so many ways

The French are much kinder in their expression of "Brother in law", they refer to them as "Beau-frère" , meaning Beautiful Brother

Rest calmly in your soul, we will always remember the heart beats.

The Dark Side

The Dark Side

If I reflect on life before, if I find myself thinking and analysing what has transpired

The people, the situations, the darkest moments, the fears that have been endured

My anger which has flared and the gut wrenching moments that have torn the essence of my belief system to shreds

I have lived those moments and experiences, I thought about them deeply at the time, but moved on

I look at myself today and question, do any of these emotions and experiences that I still hold in my conscious or subconscious continue to add any value or benefit to the life that I live today, or for the vision I have for a positive future existence

I am completely responsible for what I allow to remain in my mind, as I do with everything I chose to do

Need

Need

If we possibly spent more time focused on wanting what we need

as opposed to needing what we want, then the waste of time, money and energies

could be far better enjoyed with fulfilled needs and not wanting a lot.

Get into my soul

Get into my soul

So nice to see you again, how have you been ?

Oh I am so sorry to hear about that, at least they passed away quickly

Things must be going ok for you though, is that a new platinum credit card ?

Wow the surgery makes you look 20 year younger, I hope it didn't hurt too much

Well the holiday you've had must have been nice, I am sure that even your nipples are brown

But tell me, how are you really ? do you feel good, I mean about yourself

Are those re-occurring dreams still happening, and do those pick me up drugs work anymore?

You seem fine, but there is something that I can't quite put my finger on

I remember when we used to laugh, god how we used to chuckle

The raw honesty that we shared, is it still there, do you remember what I mean

No, I suppose not, your work and career have been so important these days

Yes of course I'm fine, still my normal self, a few bumps and scratches, but the same

So when can we meet again ? maybe a coffee or a meal ? sure I understand, It's hard to get a booking at the dentist these days

Hey, no drama, give me a call when you have time, when you want to get into my soul

.........................................

Don't slap the surface of my heart, this only ripples and leaves some horrible marks

Dive into my soul, swim strong and deep we'll both feel the energy with every stroke

Water and me share common qualities, maybe old but still fresh, full of emotion, not created by motion

To bathe in your soul, I feel the love for you grow when you do the same with me

I want to swim naked deep inside of you, discover the person I care so strongly about

Teach me your dreams, let me feel your fears

Just be real with me.

Time to talk

Time to talk

It's is often very difficult for two people at the same time to be available, in the right mood, not distracted or have other people around for us to be able to talk, relaxed and free with our words.

So let's enjoy those times when it is that way, and understand that those moments are very special and valuable, the other times are just mile stones marking the path between the special points in our lives.

My woman

My woman

I dont want to breathe without your air in my lungs

My sleep can't be sleep without the warmth of your flesh

I won't dream without your wisdom and strength

Your touch or caress changes the frustrations and the stress

The tears we may share are the streams of our souls

There are no shadows when we walk, by your side there is only sun

Our lives are tightly entwined like the weaving of silk

We make real because we are one

Mine and yours are indelibly one in itself
