Why worry

Why worry

Forget the stress forget the worry

Take it easy! Why always be in such a hurry?

Even if into anarchy, you ultimately descend

Always remember it will all work out in the end

Take each day and live life to the max

No need to run yourself ragged, chill out relax

Patience is a virtue or so I have been told

To see it in action is truly a wonder to behold

Sometimes we are tested! More than we would like!

But remember if you fall off, it’s like riding a bike

 We are only human at times we flatter to deceive

But whatever our troubles we must always believe

Whatever the tunnel there will always be light

Always the stars to guide through the darkest night

Nothing is impossible if you have faith and believe

Put your heart and soul into all you do and you will achieve

Taking a chance out on a limb, staking a bet

It’s the opportunities missed that we live to regret

Out of the starting blocks the race has already begun

Only at the end will we know how well we have done

When finally we can sit back and with fondness recall

What we have learned and achieved if anything at all

But whatever we end up with when our time is done

I hope that I can say! At the very least, it was fun.

Facade

THE FACADE

What you see isn’t always exactly, what you get

And sometimes what you get you sometimes regret

That’s not to say don’t wish, or don’t be excited by what you see

It is just that things are not always, what they seem to be

Now family they say is the strongest of bonds you can ever find

I have been quite lucky, mine is an exception so bare that in mind

However, some are at war on a daily basis and always falling apart

Remember it is not always, what we do but whether it comes from the heart

Take friends well where do you start? Do they exist?

More fair-weather than not, there when it suits, if you get the jist

Rarely will you find someone who will be there through thick & thin

Ok on the outside, everything seems fine until you look within

Then there’s work well talk about two faced watch your back

Colleagues smiling to your face behind you’re back waiting to attack

Always looking for the chance to make you feel small & gain the upper hand

One-upmanship their chosen sport their goal to have you jump to their command

Girlfriend, boyfriend a match for life maybe one day even as husband & wife

Sharing those special moments and experiences that you go through in life

2 point 4 children a house with a pool, and don’t forget the private school

Whilst behind the scenes inner turmoil lies and pain cheated on feeling a fool

Life passes by faster each day and many things will challenge us along the way

A real time adventure with nothing and everything to lose so be ready to play

The clock is ticking and we are all magicians, illusionists, which ever fits best

So let us be honest if we are really frank not many of us are up to the test

Maybe I am a dreamer, an idealistic fool! But if we were all honest wouldn’t it be cool?

No one deceiving or being something they are not everyone happy with what they have got

The problem is we create the monster of greed and envy, hatred and spite

And if we are not careful then the time will come when it is too late to put it right

We are the same just different by circumstance; if we work together, we still have a chance

Freedom of speech human rights let us stop before we turn out all the lights

Why waste time or money, when so much can be done shouldn’t it be prosperity for everyone

Fate will decide nowhere to hide judgment will come, a cross to bear for what we have done

Somewhere in my heart there is love

Somewhere in my heart there is love

Somewhere in my heart, there is love

Hands together a prayer to god above

Somewhere in my soul, there is space

A tranquil and splendid harmonious place

Through my eye’s many things are seen!

A beauty so unique, magnificent and serene

Through my ears resonates the sweetest sound

Within your waters of love I am lost & found

The air that I breathe, the blood through my veins

Bereft of you, only emptiness remains

Unrequited love, lost in the mail! No return to sender

Without hope and belief, the battle is lost complete surrender

Where you lead, I will always follow

When you go, I am empty and hollow

The hand that guides me through the deepest mire

Your touch awakens and ignites my desire

When battle commences I shall not hide

Where you lay, I will be by your side

The feel of your skin as our bodies entwine

Explosion of passion as our hearts combine

When in doubt I will be your guide

There to keep the fire burning inside

Faithful and true nothing; can ever divide

A friend in which you can trust and confide

On my mind forever and a day

Never before, have I ever felt this way

Regardless of obstacles, come what may

Forever I will love you, and in my heart you will stay

My soul is not broken

Unknown Soldier

My soul is not broken, but I am weak

Filled with words though unable to speak

Wounded and bowed, the cut’s run deep

Battle scarred and weary, in need of sleep

Fighting a cause that seems to be lost

Standing until the end to count the cost

One man’s war against an army of many

Not sure if help will come, if any

Inside the trench I have some reprieve

For fallen comrades I must wait to grieve

Into the fray out of the trenches and over the top

Deafening sound of Machine guns, when will it stop?

Moving forward through the smoke and the screams

The chilling echo of a generations dying dreams

Disorientated and confused trying to find cover

Across the battlefield bodies lie on top of one another

Numb and cold trying to keeping emotions in check

But behind the mask lie’s a nervous wreck

Running on empty only courage and grit will keep us going

Hoping we will see our families again, but never truly knowing

Close quarter fighting, exchanging blows hand to hand

Moving forward on the orders of command

Gaining ground the enemy in organized retreat

Offering prayers that our mission will soon be complete

Night fall again and silence falls across the land

A chance to rest and regroup before our final stand

Morning breaks and silence is broken once again

The fighting continues with the few that remain

After so many month’s, week’s, day’s, hour’s min’s and seconds

Finally within our grasp the chance of victory beckons

As we engage, forging ahead each blow we strike, each step we tread

Upon our shoulders the weight of expectation, lest we forget the dead

Though nothing is certain in the cauldron of war

Our destiny is written of this I am completely sure

If victory and peace is to be the outcome of our final act

Let us pray that what we achieve will forever remain intact

Meaningless?

MEANINGLESS?

Words and emotions, it’s all the same

These tools used as part of their game

Flowing compliments you want to believe

In the cold light of day foolishly naïve

Building you up but, for their own ends

No crystal ball to see what each one intends

Same old flannel to put you off guard

Toying with your feelings total disregard

Hindsight takes a holiday oblivious to the fact

Unable to see the warning signs, slow to react

Taking what they can, giving little in return

You’d think by now, surely you’d learn

Honesty and trust that once was a given

Now replaced by deceit, lie and derision

There to be used when occasions arise

To boost their ego or self-importance, which ever applies!

Forget the saying “sticks & stones” for words can hurt

Vicious tongues that rub your face in the dirt

Forget the where’s, why’s and endless lies

And in our judgment be more careful and wise

Each day a new chapter is waiting to be written

A new love with which to be totally smitten

Love is not something that can be defined by time or rules

For in the realm of love we are all helpless fools

Be yourself and the rest will take care of itself

Avoid worry and stress and things that will damage your health

Easy though in theory but so hard to follow through

Always remember life is what you make it, so be careful what you do

when you rise

WHEN YOU RISE

In the morning when you rise

Awakened by sunlight open your eyes

Look to your side and what do you see

A life less ordinary or the person with whom you want to be

Can you live each day dying inside?

Forever living in denial in shadows hide

A life of regret is a painful fate

It is your decision, but decide before it is too late

You say it is over but find it hard to move on

But is it worth it for something precious to be gone

However long you leave it the message won’t sink in

The water is deep but the ice is getting thin

Each night apart my heart slowly dying

Without your tender kiss and touch, these tears I’m crying

Longing to hold you driving to be by your side

Stolen moments always having to hide

Leaving you behind I struggle to breathe

Still with my heart and love I believe

I know you are true and love me so

How much we are worth in your answer will show

Every trick used to win you back

He will never give up, hoping you will take him back

Are you strong enough to act on what you believe?

Or are trying, but flattering to deceive

When we speak it’s, one step forward three steps back

We have to be strong if we are to remain on track

He will never be able to make you as happy as I will

So make the break and stop living a lie

Our life together can only begin when it is done

Then and only then will our hearts truly beat as one

Happiness is something that cannot be wasted

So come to me and enjoy the greatest love ever tasted

I haven't a clue

I haven’t a clue

Why I am here, I wish I knew

Troubled waters wading through

Everyday understanding less

I haven’t a clue I have to confess

What am I searching for, what do I seek?

Endless toil left feeling weary and weak

Is there a plan does fate hold the key

Or is it just pot luck, what will be will be

Can I get a refund or have another go

I could be cheeky but I’m sure the answer would be no

Trying to understand but losing the plot

Perfect aim but always missing the spot

Going so well you think you have got it sussed

However, reality hits leaving you feeling nonplused

Did I miss something am I going insane

Going steady, now I feel like a runaway train

Stuck at a crossroads I cannot decide

Nothing seems to work, I wish I could hide

Whatever I do, I feel like I am cursed

My brain is in meltdown and ready to burst

Dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s

But sometimes I cannot see the wood for the trees

Great in preparation but often lacking in execution

I wish I knew where to go to find the solution

Back to the drawing board starting again

I have come too far for it to all be in vain

Sometimes what we want to achieve is hard to attain

Our journey is long with much heartache and pain

A Wiseman once said if you believe you will find

Not all is what it seems, understand or be blind

Whatever the answer I know one thing to be true

I will succeed and to the end, I will see it through

So I never have to say again I haven’t a clue 

hypothetically speaking

  

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING

Big posh house money to spend cars lined up end to end

Butler waiter staff by the dozen, no one upon which to depend

Extensive gardens beautifully ornate low maintenance not much tweaking

Just think of what you could have hypothetically speaking

Filled with lavish opulence priceless gems treasures to behold

Priceless artifacts, paintings, sculptures, statues of pure gold

Everything to perfection attention to detail nothing left to chance

Every single item just as it should be without the song and dance

Executive lifestyle high-powered job with salary to match

Country cottage retreat with roses and decorative thatch

18 holes of golf or, a weekends fishing in your own private lake

Football, tennis, so many choices a really tough decision to make

Fine dining spoilt for choice somewhere new every time

The most exquisite of meals accompanied by a gorgeous wine

Chauffeured limousine on to a show, “top west end play”

Evenings end retire for the night the finest hotel in which to stay

Holiday’s abroad no-where too remote, destination anywhere

By boat, rail, car, or private jet if you want to arrive without a care

Lavish hotels with only the finest of things from which to choose

Casino’s playing blackjack, slots, poker whatever you fancy you never lose

Pampered to perfection massage, steam room or relaxing in the sauna

Reading a paper or magazine, reclining on soft leather chair quietly in the corner

Whatever your wish your every desire, nothing too big nothing too small

Put quite simply whatever your heart desires, you can have it all

In addition, don’t forget that little something put away for that future rainy day

Forget all that remember whatever you want is at your disposal anyway

Just think all of this and more so finely tuned never having to do any tweaking

It would be amazing but let us not forget after all we are only hypothetically speaking
