Within each storm

When doubts and drawbacks struggle in the mind
And certainty seems but a demon dream,
When the faith to love is what no-one can find
For even when asleep, the mind still schemes

When darkness and defeat seem close at hand
And lights dim even as we pray for peace
when wrecks and ruins rile the native sands
When in this life we feel we’ve lost our place…

Then at the saddest depth we see the light
Surrounding with such warmth,with love adorned.
The path that seemed so wrong now leads us right
And in our hearts, warm feelings are new born

Within each storm there is a calm still eye
From there we see the fiercest clouds blown by

Where I touch you

You know there's that little place in the inner wrist

where it's so soft and tender?

Where I need your touch;

Where I touch you

Wrist to wrist,no-one will notice;

But we notice,

I feel your pulse beating,

Or is it mine?

Take the rose,

Take the rose for your table.

And when you see it

Remember,

Remember everything

What we said,

What we never said but implied,

And only the rose will listen

As you sing your song

The rose will be there

In the heart's garden

Dreaming,

Dreaming us back into being.

As we fade gently away

With evening time.

How Do You Know What You Know

I like this poem

how do you know what you know, joys of joel poems, poem about rumors and spreading lies, poetry and quotes How Do You know What You Know? – joysofjoel.wordpress.com

Everybody tells lies but not everybody enjoy it so much their life revolves around creating it.

Do you remember that high school friend badmouthing your crush because she secretly desire him? How about that office pal who pat your shoulder and stab your back? And those innocent looking trolls waiting for your epic fall?  

I just look at my facebook and see a friend who’s still in my list . I wonder why he’s still there? The good thing is looking at his photo i was able to create a poetry . Who says you can’t make good stuff out of bad traits?  Inspiration may come from both sides.

Here it goes:

Rumor Has It

How Do You Know what you know?
Through the windows of your ears
or your eyes that depend
on your one sided sight?

Is it…

Emile goes to the Garden Center with Stan

2apples1Stan and his bright ,beautiful and wise  yet almost psychotic wife Mary went to the new  Garden Center to use a gift token Stan had been given on his birthday by his cousin Marian. from Lee on Sea which is near Manchester They wanted to buy a big pot of mixed flowering plants to put on the porch of their 4 bed ,  tin bath cottage.Stan used to fill such a tub or indeed several himself but what with teaching Emile  his cat to swim,balancing the account book and cooking a dinner every day he was too busy.Not to mention cleaning the windows in the conservatory with his microfibre cloth which he did weekly.And all the baking too..he was missing out on going to the University of the Third Age to teach logic to retired artists.1236071_370604443072690_670872119_n

[My art..  from a  photo  of a bleeding bite on my leg..]

Emile their talking cat always went with them for a drive but he stayed in the car in case a dog might see him and bite him.Stan said to  him,
Emile,would you like to sit on my shoulders,then you could come and have some coffee in a saucer?
No, thank you.said Emile,I don’t want a dog to jump up on you!I will lie down under  the seat and have a nap.You can bring me some icecream back..I love ice cream as it melts.
Stan and Mary went into a huge  glass greenhouse which  had a cafe at one end.How stunning  the orchids looked.. such delicate colors and what delicious and sweet perfumes they could smell.They sat down by the orchids and had a large cappuccino each and a very small scone with strawberry jam.
My goodness,what big mugs,Mary mused.Why don’t they standardize them? But to whose standards?
This must be half a pint!In some coffee shops this would be “Huge”
Well,just drink part of it,Pet,if it’s too much for you,” Stan replied abstractedly his mind on the nubile waitress.
What are you thinking?,.she enquired gently.This is the question most men dislike…maybe because they are not thinking and if they are,it may be they are thinking of something a wife or partner would not want to know!
I’m wondering what color  of plants to get.Stan acknowledged quietly yet intravenously.
I always like blue flowers like delphiniums she informed him.After 69 years of marriage he still did not remember…but it made life more fun… and more surprising as each day was nearly new yet not quite  second hand
The next moment they saw Emile. arriving.He was standing on the back of a large handsome black labrador dog which accompanied two stocky men.
Emile!he called,What’s going on? The two men came over.
Hello,one said,I’m Bert and this is my brother Bart.We found your little cat crossing the road.He said you were in here.Then Max,our dog,said Emile could ride on his back to avoid the mud by the gate
Thank you very much,Max,Mary said in a trembling voice. But how did you get out of the car,Emile?
You forgot to close the window and I could see a lovely tortoiseshell lady cat across the road so I decided to pop over.Emile said triumphantly.I feel in the mood for something which is good for me.. namely sex.
But you don’t know the Highway Code yet,Emile!Nor safe sex
Stan groaned, as it was one more thing to teach Emile.Will he want to learn Ancient Greek, as well he asked himself evasively
Isn’t it cute seeing Emile riding on Max’s back? asked Bart.Do you mind if I take a photo?
Feel free,Stan replied.Allow me ,please,to buy you some coffee.
Thank you,said Bert.Two double esspressos please.And two scones with Cornish cream and blackcurrant jam,thank you
Stan went to order whilst Max and Emile did a tour of the cafe and had their photo taken by several surprised people sipping coffee and tea simultaneously in error but yet in time with life’s music
My goodness,said Mary,I wonder if this photo will be in the local newspaper next week.It’s a  symbol of love and peace.
Though of course not all dogs are as generous as Max. Not all cats are as bold as Emile..
Max wagged his tail and smiled upon hearing this.

Sunday verse

DSCN0051Catching wild  herring off Whitby-

My husband went out with the tide

He felt nauseated

So they had him gold plated

And he stands up, as broad as he’s wide.

I went out  in a rowboat

The thunderstorm hit me so hard.

I flew into the air

I cried,I declare…..

Danger  should never be barred.

5my leg

Stepping stones  in a wide river

Still  give me a childish delight.

Ambleside’s best

In all the North West.

I wish I could fly there tonight.

The wildflowers

Gently dancing in the sunP1000250
Wildflowers grow;
they bloom,
are gone.

With no thoughts,they have no cares;
Yet their lives are gentle prayers.
May I walk in such a way
That I am alive to this day.

So I see with widening view,
And joy and sorrows embrace too.
Then my time will come like yours...
And of us nothing shall endure.

As to the earth our bodies go,
All are one;it shall be so

The cubicle

How like a prison is my cubicle
How restless is  my body on my chair.
How still my heart and yet how truly fickle.
How fast it flies to you who are not here.

How elegant your letters and your thoughts;
Ambiguous was your touch upon my throat.
You destroyed  my words and all  that I had wrought
You were no lover but a self crazed goat.

As in this mental jail I'm  now enrapped,
I'll use this time to write,yet what to say?
Perhaps my mind can extricate a map,
From which I'll plot the route to get away.

The prisons we think external are inside
Yet in such captive grief  we may soon die.
