There is a tingle in you heartbeat,
a smile that brings a sparkle to me
and outside spring is bountiful in white,
while birds frolic branches full
and I do wonder
when a day like this will come again?

Next to the railway line
different coloured arum-lilies are blooming
and it’s unusual
that they grow in rows and rows wildly
where they bloom lovely.

For an ailing love maker
ending was optional.
Nobody wanted to extend the truth
and hear the distant voices.
Half-waiting to divide the territory,
splinters will unravel the mystery.
A food chain slits the tongue, reaching, not reaching.
In the island of lonliness
somebody has left me midway in eternal twilight.
Amidst the stars
a river forgets the time, and moon
scrapes the sky.
A new pledge may bring back the sun.

You talk to me in words but not connected; I don't understand
I have tried so many times to tell you how I feel I am trapped in my own corner
Like a boxer waiting for the bell to sound
It has been too many years of Verbal and not sexual communication
Why must you be so unfeeling to me
I am going now; on a new road, one that will take me on a new journey
I feel fine for the first time in years and I Thank You for that
You tried to court me before I left and that was atrocious.....
Like being a 13 year old again; I know that life has more to offer than
a goodnight kiss and some repertoire in the morning
I am pleased by your lack of caring as it has made the transition easier
I have hid behind my walls too long and waited you out.......
I feel like it is my birthday and I am blowing out my candle
One last time

I have been to heaven and I saw so many things
I saw the bright light of the tunnel and an angel spread his wings
I saw Jesus sit upon His throne and so many other things
I have been to the promised land; and a land of old
Where I saw an Indian Princess and tons and tons of gold
I was dead for nine minutes; the Dr's said it was the meds
Personally I think they think, it was all in my head
I am left with no recourse but to prophesize that Jesus is alive
For I have seen him with my very own two eyes
I am now a better person and I try so hard each day
To make sure I smile at each passerby that might come my way
I hear people say there is NO GOD; it is so sad to me
When you have been where I was, you can really see
That life exists on the other side and that Heaven is a paradise
But do you have to die to realize that GOD is really alive?
And now my speech is over and I hope you understand
I died and went to Heaven and was touched by GOD's hand
I, too am a sinner and will always be, but I have seen Jesus and He has set me free
After dying on life support for 11 days..........2010

Safety wasn’t a brand of quarreling
For it was known that I was of infinite value
Sudden circumstances in the moment
Establishing rare hopes that weren’t previously held
How it was such an inviting risk
Disappointment was the making of fiction
I knew not of catastrophic probabilities
When cherished by such a caring creatures
Around my neck lies an emblem of my sincerity
To hold for multiple eternities

A collection of valiant philosophies fornicate my cranium
Philosophies that mere earthlings fail to fathom
This desire to birth from such a complex asylum
A power not of the world of which you and I speak
Neither comparison nor ability can be measured
One can try but his efforts shall equate to nothingness
Man may take from it what he wants if he must
Although the return will be of a much lesser degree
Patience is but a fallacy
Now is a gift that shan’t compose contrition

Scared is human,
Dignity is human,
Pride is human,
Bravery is human,
Intelligence is human,
Stupidity is human,
Courage is human,
Cowardice is human,
Gallantry is human,
Protection is human,
Mercy is human,
Worry is human,
Love is human,
Embarrassment is human,
Helpfulness is human,
Helplessness is human,
Sorrow is human,
Depression is human,
Sadness is human,
Jealousy is human,
Happiness is human,
Freedom is human,
Longing is human,
Anger is human,
Kindness is human,

HATRED IS DALEK.

I long for your kiss,
I crave your touch.
Your lips as sweet as sugar,
And skin as gentle as the first falling snow.
My heart aches and my body shakes,
For without you,
My heart is dead,
The sky is bleeding,
My sheets are stained red.
Your eyes are the light that brings me from the dark,
As gentles and warm as a newborn spark.
Your laugh is the music that makes me bright,
My dear shining knight.
My eyes are dark and my heart is blue...
But when you come around,
They change their hue.
Melanie Gardiner, 18 december 2012
I'm so confused,
Lost inside my heart not knowing what to do.
Watching my feelings being stuck on replay,
Both of you don't even know,
That my decision has yet to be shown.
You'll never what I have up my sleeve,
Whilst my mind is tearing away at me.
Just leave me be,
'Cause there isn't a soul that could see to me.
My best friend and someone who I just got to know.
My other half and my beau.
How can it be?
That you two could simply just love me?
