When I was lying
On the roadside, bloodied doll,
I could only pray..
She came and took me in her
Cold arms, gave me peace and rest

Hello dear Mirror!
Will you still be insolent?
I am so tired!
Milady, you still are a
Beauty but time catches you.

Rencontre de hasard
Parler de tout, de rien,
Prendre un verre de vin
Dans la froideur d’un bar.
Un orchestre criard
Qui n’a rien de divin.
Tout cela est bien vain,
Que faire dans ce bazar?
Vouloir tromper l’ennui,
L’espace d’une nuit
En se laissant aller.
Se perdre dans le bruit,
Ne pas croquer le fruit,
Surtout ne pas chialer.

Naiveté
Originally posted on Source of Inspiration:
I have a certain naiveté
even after all these years.
I find it hard to accept
that others can be cunning,
devious, even ruthless,
thus fall into the trap again.
I don’t think it is because
I need to be a victim but rather
have retained a child-like
wonder of the beauty of the
world that our Creator has
given us.
Lord, protect my naiveté
and deliver me from cynicism.
Let me remain a believer
in the Tooth Fairy
and the goodness of man.

“Whispers Through The Night”
“Whispers Through The Night”
Whispers Through The Night
Two lovers loving so intimately
Not caring what is happening beyond the moment
Aroused by only the touch of a hand,
And the whispers through the night
The twinkle in their eyes is like the stars in the sky
The smell of their scent is like a warm summer’s day
Longing and hoping this intense feeling they have for each other
Lasts forever and just as strong
The magic of love is a blissful peace
The soft noises that lovers make
Are like whispers through the night
Oh, the wonderful pleasure in the whispers through the night

Update on: “She Survived it all” Many thanks to my readers and friends!
Originally posted on Barbara C Rowe Author:
I had posted a request to keep a blog “She Survived it ALL” going, because someone from back home was in trouble. She had just been severely beaten by her soon to be husband and was reaching out to me. I didn’t know her very well, but she had known about my brutal attack years ago and how I had became a part time journalist for a local paper and a supporter and volunteer at a safe house.
I received such a united front of support and concern, I felt it was my responsibility to let my fellow readers, friends and followers on her situation and condition. She stayed several weeks at a safe house, receiving counseling and their finding her housing and financial support. She is far from being alright, but well on her way to recovery and a new way of life and hopefully, a big dose of a better self-esteem.

I’ve got a Feeling
Little ones without a home or a bed
Children should be in our care
Not a place to lay their weary heads
God, the burdens they must bear
On the streets, day or night
Corruption is in the crowds
Not ever knowing the people’s plight
Not knowing the ones who cry out loud
Homeless, ragged, hungry, and sad
God, how could we allow things to get so bad?
I’ve got a feeling
Heaven’s angels are crying there
For we have lost our willingness to care
Look at all the ages in despair
I’ve got a feeling
The day of reckoning will come
The wrath of God will apply to some
People, some young, some old
Will find their place at heaven’s gate
The righteous will be brought into the fold
While the merciless will have to wait
I’ve got a feeling
Heaven’s angels are crying there
