Ink swirls
Spill the secrets of my heart
Desires of my soul
Lusts of my flesh
Breaking open
The barriers
Protecting
Me

I love the zing of lemon. In fact, just seeing this image has made my taste buds start zinging. Often I drink plain boiling water with lemon slices thrown in it.
One evening a long time ago, I was on a business trip in the UK. The client invited me for a pub dinner. It was bizarre in that I had a lemon squash to drink, lemon battered fish, and for desert I had a lemon tart. My dream lemon dinner haha 🙂
Heard this on the radio, thought I would share!
Truly, Madly,Deeply by Savage Garden
I’ll be your dream
I’ll be your wish I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
’cause I’m counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah
[chorus:]
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I’ll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
pleasure and the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the
comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
[chorus]
Oh can you see it baby?
You don’t have to close your eyes
‘Cause it’s standing right
before you
All that you need will surely come
I’ll be your dream I’ll be your wish
I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
[chorus]
I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

The sun has risen
Shining bright
The birds are singing
As their right
I have awoken –
Brand new day
Greetings to you
So far away
Sometimes I wish I could escape feelings. Or at least have a remote to control them. Set mood on automatic happiness level 9.8, maybe a happiness level of a complete 10 might be a bit OTT.
Everyday I am conscious of all the goodness around me. All the lack of suffering I have not had to endure because of circumstances of birth, combined with a touch of good fortune, tenacity and hard work. And yet, my mood is still low. Counting my blessings and being aware, but still having a sinking feeling inside of me, a feeling of sadness combined with anxiety and wistful thinking. Expectations of what we deserve in this life. Comparisons of others without knowing the whole story, not seeing the whole picture.
While we breathe we are tied to this physical realm. Our bodies need resources to survive. Love and affection and touch. One day I believe, my soul will fly free. Free of this earthly bind. Free of needing food, water, sleep, education, competition, needing to do this, needing to do that. Just being free. And feeling love. Hopefully, perhaps, it will be.
All my barriers
Melted at the very sight
Of you, my mistake
I hear your breathing
And feel your touch
In the darkness I know
You are with me
I am not alone
Nature’s gifts abundantly
Free, pure elegance
