THE PRAYER OF MY EVERY DAY.

THE PRAYER OF MY EVERY DAY.

In life, everything eventually has its end.

Waiting on the inevitable
To drop a hand full of soil
On my dear mothers grave,
When it happens
I feel somewhere deep
It will also be the end of me

Please let life
Continue to flow
Through her veins
The thought of her
Being encased in a lifeless grave
Takes some of my life away

The Sea Of Tranquility

As Father Time pens his last words
The winds of change are crying to the night
They mourn the loss
Another year

A year when peace did not come
Hunger and death still abounds
Sadness blankets the world

You hear them moaning
Why must this be
Where lies the Sea of Tranquility

When will mankind learn
To live as one and end what
Was so thoughtlessly begun

Their egos and money
Have corrupted this life
Will a time ever come
When a flag is unfurled
Denoting the unity of one world

NIGHTMARES

In a sea of torment, what
hides behind screams back
at you from the other side.

Sleep deprived eyes within
shrunken cavernous hollows,
A deep dread bleeds through
bloodshot focus, blurring reality's
segmented mortality's.

From the hidden depths of your
immortal soul thoughts collide
and swirl, an unthinkable hellish
glare can hardly bear ridged body
nightmare stare.

Saving Grace

Laced with sincerity
These words overpopulate
This here blank page

Tearing my heart
And letting it spill
Endless emotions
Into the spotlight

When the world
Spit me out
You held my decaying
Soul with such care

You fed me compassion
Till my stomach couldn’t
Digest it anymore

I know it seems as if
We’re growing apart
Your more than a creation
Yes, you’re my saving grace
The pill that can’t be
Prescribed

TRIPLE-TWO-THREE-ONE-OH

TRIPLE-TWO-THREE-ONE-OH

We take long walks quite regular,
We sit around and chat-
But, since you boys are dying to know,
There ain’t nothing lovey-dovey
You know, we’re really not like that!
(But that girl is mighty good for my ego…)

And then, that night for all confessions:
I am- you are- the only one…
Did you know “Blue Jeans” were tailor made for you?
And, you seemed so sure
When you said you loved me more
And more and more than anyone before…

memories now have become memoirs ....recalled ///upgraded

memories are the imprints
everlasting ones
on the footprints,
maybe finger prints
of time,
but all evade us
even does time.

but memories take
much longer
these after all
none can ever erase,
it’s an inevitable phase
today
becomes a yesterday
and
with a coming tomorrow
we hope to play
as if it's a today

then memories,
many more
will form...

friend how then these
can be willed away
could anyone that ever,
say

TIME DOESN'T STOP FOR NEW YEAR, CHANGING

"TIME DOESN'T STOP FOR NEW YEAR, CHANGING"
Margaret Ann Waddicor 31st December 2010.

As the old year turns its face,
the sun sinks down to other parts, from here,
I look out on the starlit heavens
and see the same galaxies of light,
the same formations, far away,
and yet they move so slowly, yes,
but move they do.

G.T.H.O.O.H.(Get The Hell Out Of Here)

Hey old dude it's time you leave
you've been around for far too long
I know of no one who will grieve
you're as out of date as "Pong"

Your visit here has brought much stress
except for early in November
when we began cleaning up your mess
next to go? The great pretender

So here's your hat and what's your hurry
your leaving can't come soon enough
just melt away like a light flurry
am I being over gruff ?

I will hypnotize you ( by Shirley, Rosi and Eddie)

Look into my ocean eyes
Of blue and green surprise
Then you will dance your own dance
And someone new you will find

A dance filled with passion
Which will lead to the place
Where it seems
That heaven and hell collide

Let go of your senses and ride the waves
I see your heart as a darkened cave
Open your mind and forget the past
Take the pain throwing it away at last

Quench your thirst
With the waters of satisfaction
It is found
In the soul of perfect attraction
