Moment – for Prompt 55 Slowly Dawning Horror

There was a moment when you stood upon the stair
and all the lights of the world coalesced
cascading in your lustrous hair, and men in rooms
played billiards into the night
And you thought you could still make it
You thought that you just might
You were perfection in a ball gown
A May Queen waiting for the fair
Until you realised what was really waiting there
The chosen girl now for the carnival you stand
as all the dreams of this dark city
on such remedies are planned, and judges old
are nodding as the sentences are made
And you thought that you weren’t frightened
You thought you were so brave
And you bow for the masked fellow
who comes to take you by the hand
There’s something here that you must understand
Years later you’re remembered as the special, pretty girl
They spread roses…

BLUE BIRD of HAPPINESS
For those of you who do not know….. April is Autism Awareness Month and to promote this event the colour blue is everywhere.
Here is my interpretation of what Autism means to me.
Art work By Kath Unsworth
I sketched this bird because he is beautiful, yet vulnerable, he looks like all the other birds but he is unique and flies on a different flight path than most. He is happy with who he is, it is other’s who are ignorant to difference and try to change him into something he is not.
This is for you my sweet clever boy, we will always be here for you and your sister.
Different not Less.
You never see it coming, that healthy new-born baby bubbling with possibilities . I use to wonder why I had so much freedom. Traveling the world, doing as I pleased with little or no real responsibilities. When I met…

not enough
Originally posted on ladybluerose:
my mind wandered
into awake
bringing me down
a one way path
within the sands of time
where I lost my soul
it would seem
I fall within the night air
warm, soft to the touch
my mind awakened to
the wandering thought of
when did love
become
not enough
to create
the dreams
of the heart
the music echoes
gently on the wind
in the distance
of the yesterday
of tomorrow’s night
my mind wanders
in this stillness
of past midnight
a leaf whispers
as it falls
from nowhere
touching my heart
as I walk
beneath the trees
do you
ever wonder
when love
became
not enough
I do
as I am touched
by love
in midnight’s hours
truce
a tear slips quietly
to the ground
waiting to be found
to be heard within
this void of without
in the moment
when love
became
not enough

Two souls

Two women in love,
Some turn their head away with
A disgusted look.
Love is a bridge between
Two souls, not between genders

Shamrock

The shamrock is strong,
She fights the monster that wants
To devour her flesh.
Medics and science help her.
I send her a tune of love.

My soul flies to you,
A long travel to meet you,
To laugh with your soul.
The sound of your voice is wings
My heart is forever yours.
