Fantasy and Reality…inspired by Converging Lives the novel
Fantasy and reality side by side grow
Boundaries blur where is the plateau?
The starkness of words translated into pictures
The holes in the substance, filled in, no glitches
Subconscious embellishment start a rosie glow
Bad habits never seen, don’t spoil the show
Endearments uttered are stored in memories box
They are intense and become important, the paradox
She needs emotions stirred, to feel a connection
His drivers different, maybe need inspection
Married to other’s, they met playing a game
Chatting and sharing life in a cyber domain
Shes desperate for love, her happiness compromised
She grabs affection and excitement, it makes her blind
He is looking for flirtation moving through lusts revolving door
He enjoys the immediate journey, never requiring more
Intimacy inevitably grows with the sharing
Could be great, if in perspective pairing
She loves that he calls her by that special name
Unaware he calls, all girls the same
He is wrapped up and interested, its no ploy
But soon he will be bored and move on, to another female toy
Her one in a million man will gradually extract
Leaving her devastated another set back
Fantasy and reality side by side grow
Boundaries blur where is the plateau?

Vulnerability
You have inherent style and grace
A beautiful smile that can light up your face
However insecurity plagues you
Plays on your self esteem
Woman is the giver of life, carries new life’s stream
Society’s expectations weigh heavily on your shoulders
Making you fearful to grow outside of these controllers
Past experience saps your will
Being a woman seems a bitter pill
Being a woman shouldn’t make you vulnerable
You should be able to live in your skin, feeling comfortable
Find your centre, review your assets
Discover self love in all its facets
You deserve the best this world has to offer
Writing urges
Feeling the surges of urges untamed
Thinking the thoughts a little deranged
Warm waves of pleasure wash over my soul
Wanting to surrender and lose control
Allowing the feelings to take over me
Ideas to flow, concepts to be free
Bottling the surges of urges untamed
Shaking them up, till they pop unrestrained
Unleashing ideas onto the page
Polishing and honing becomes a rampage
Allowing the feelings to take over me
New writing born for this moment free

Storm
Cymbals crashing in the sky
Staccato rain blowing by
Grey and dark
The heavens split
Zig zag flashes
Dash and flit
Clouds are roiling, feeling menacing
Sky a muddied yellow, feels threatening
Awesome detonations boom through the air
Count the seconds, till lightenings flare
Hairs on the back of the neck arise
Excitement bubbles no suprise
Storm rampages
Through its stages
Standing in awe
Should I be frightened of its power
Cymbals crash, lightening forks
Natures force, humans ivory tower.

You
You make me laugh you make me smile
You ease my troubles for a while
When the world feels gloomy and my skies feel grey
You help brighten the mood add light to my day
I celebrate the essence of you
Creating a different kind of beauty
Having not yet managed to finish one task and start the next I am today painting silk, writing poetry and planning my next moves in the second Converging Lives series. Smiling happily. Silk painting is such a relaxing thing to do. Its good for the soul because you have to learn to love your mistakes! The colours will have an added vibrancy when set, ironed and washed.
Life’s cycle
I sit in the corner and ponder my fate
Events overtook me
They just wouldn’t wait
My life has moved slowly
The seasons have passed
I was never lonely
Midst the flowers and grass
I scattered my seed, in the fullness of time
Then grew infirm, with natures decline
Soon came the winter, that robbed me of life
But destiny gave me a way, to survive
I sit in the corner and ponder my fate
I ask you to come, see my new shape
Although I am changed, please never fear
You can see my full beauty, its a view very dear
From a tree tall and stately, please regard
A, beautiful chair, has been carved.

Concentrate on one task at a time
Concentrate on one task at a time
Prioritise, keep your goals in line
An excellent way to be productive
Keep stress at bay,work more seductive
Works so well for many people
Finish the task less upheaval
So what is it with my butterfly mind
Likes to flit and fly I find
Always been a big picture thinker
Am I kidding myself, is that a sinker
Maybe I am not a completer finisher
Am I my own worse co-conspirator
Organise your daily tasks
Get rid of the dross, thats not a big ask
Concentrate on one task at a time
Umm watching tv whilst writing this line
Writing a book, painting some silk
Reading two books simultaneously and more of that ilk
Concentrate on one task at a time
Prioritise,keep your goals in line
Keep the mantra in my head
Multitasking isn’t yet dead
Finish one task stop this spread
Dont think of the next novel, concentrate on this one instead
Oh woe, way to go!

How to Set Healthy Boundaries
A vital part of healthy relationships
“I encourage people to remember that “No” is a complete sentence.” ~ Gavin de Becker
1. Identify current boundary crossers
The first step in setting healthy boundaries is identifying who it is that is the boundary crosser. How does this person make you feel? Most likely, telling this person how you feel will get you no where. They may even get satisfaction from hearing your plea. Remember, it is not uncommon for boundary crossers to be very purposeful in their boundary crossing behavior. This means they often know that they are doing it! If you feel taken advantage of, oppressed or bullied, it is important to make the conscious decision to change how you are interacting with them. Keep in mind, none of this will happen overnight. But, it definitely won’t happen unless you decide with the utmost conviction that something needs to change.
2. Consider how your past influences your present
Were you taught to set healthy boundaries? If…
