52. Only Grace

It’s been awhile, I ran the mile. To clear my head and still the pain. My heart is numb, must keep things calm. I must respect the boundaries she sets. It took a week, to kill my need. My need for Grace consumed my fate, she is my crush, can’t seem to rush. She called me Monday, to arrange an outing. Just us alone, with time to speak. My mind thought no, my heart say yes. She soon confirmed the place to meet. Why do I let, my heart to stir. My crush is valid, but she won’t rally. I’m just that friend, that holds her hand. We chat all day, without a trend. We talk with eyes and can’t pretend. We’re just so right, some say we match. So today we met in Grays, a beautiful retreat, she booked one room. I’ve been here before, the conference with all. She smiles and relaxes, instantly we cuddle. Our hands find each other and our hearts jelly like wax. We talked round the grounds, submerged in our world. She is so alive, her laughter revives my mind. Love shows itself, Grace so divine. Can’t stop and think, this all I want. Life worth the risk, her hand soft and warm. Just us alone, my heart leaps with joy.

19. My Dance With Grace.

The end draws near, another year almost done. The company unites, it’s time to rejoice. The party begins, with dinner for free. Each staff digs in, to turkey and wings. Across the table, she’s dressed in black. Her hair like gold, her smile my home. She laughs and cares, to all her peers. She is my Grace, her name my place. I’ve know her long, afraid to say. “I love you Grace,” you are my fate. But we both know, that’s not the case. She sees a friend, each time we talk. She sees a brother , each time we touch. She trust me so much, I picked her dress. We are each others, bestie for life. So at this party, she gazed at me. I sensed a change, within her eyes. So beautiful and free, she’s blessed my life. Afraid to lose her, I dare not change. Towards the end, I hide away. She searched the room, in search of me. I was with Tom, discussing the game. She pinched my bum and grabbed my hands. “You can’t escape,” she said, “you’re dancing with me.” With pounding heart and sweaty palms, the world looked on and time stood till. Into her eyes, I found real love, my Christmas completed, with my dance with Grace.

Look Away.

Its been too long, for me to stay,
I want no part, where art still lies,
The streets of youth, now old and cold,
This silent night, my walk for right.

I know this town, its peaks and tuffs,
The stain glass windows, its seats of power,
The lies men told, to keep their coal,
It stinks of guilt, they abused our youths.

We’ll keep it secrets, their hearts of greed,
They lived for money, they sinned for oil,
They run the governments, no tax to give,
The Panama papers showed it, hidden wealth they stole it.

A thousand shells, riddled with numbers,
The poor still died, hungry and naked,
The rich smiled on, stealing with innocence,
The good earth dying, they polluted us with their lying.

So look around, and smell the freedom,
The sun still shines, the news depressing,
Corporation still rule, the lives of many,
They call it social, but whoses watching their media?

He raised us well, and loved mum best,
Our turn to say, We Thank you dad.

My Best??

Will try my best, this walk to please you,
Will smile and laugh, this air to suit you,
Won’t run too fast, this race you shall win,
Can’t think so far, this mind will amuse you.

Will hug you tight, my hands won’t leave you,
Can’t shy away, your heart might lose me,
Just me and you, this paradise our humble home,
So stop and wait, my life to please you.

With every step, our paths still untainted,
My hands to share, the life within me,
You happilness, my reason for living,
To you my love, this kiss to believe in.
