If You Are a Quote Lover – Day Three

I’ve been nominated by my dear friend Mark to participate in the Quote Lovers challenge so have decided to give it a go. Mark has an amazing, upbeat spirit and can be found here:

If You Are a Quote Lover, Day Two

Here are the rules:

Post your three favorite quotes, one each for three consecutive days.

With each post nominate three bloggers for the challenge.

Recognize the blogger who nominated you.

I’m going musical on this one – here’s a preview!

And my favourite quote is!

Hello Again, Neil Diamond

Hello, my friend, hello
It’s good to need you so
It’s good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say, hello

Please forgive me for passing on the nominations today. If anyone would like to take part, welcome to do so and ping back here.

Fighting Flesh

image

I fight myself
The flesh that I am
Waging wars
Against worlds I find myself in
So I can fall
Onto my knees
And find my trust
My love
My everything
In Thee, my Savior, my Lord
My all

Delicate Threads

image

I used to think we were special
I used to think we were love
I used to think my dreams had come true
I used to think my prayers had been heard
But now I’ve learnt
My thoughts were just like threads of a spider’s web
Glistening in the sun
But as soon as it is touched
The magic that created it
Vaporises
Leaving the delicate threads
To disperse
As if nothing
Was ever there

Two Lives

image

Where are the words
When there are none to be said
I search for a line
But have nothing to say
I long for love
It is too much to ask
Our lives are parallel
Like two lines snaking down a track
Together into the future
Side by side
But never touching
Forever apart

Butterfly Wings

image

Spread your wings
Oh butterfly
Spread your wings
And fly
Warm the freezing
Winter air
With fluttering
Paper
Butter
Butter
Butter
Fly
Wings

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Off-Season.”

Narcissist

image

I opened my life to you
I let you inside
Not knowing
What was in your mind —
The sharp blade of a knife
And now that my heart
Is sliced up in shreds
You’ve left me on the floor
While you’ve gone searching
For more
Trusting and unwounded
Fresh slate for your
Amusement
You go knocking
On doors

Loving Grace

image

Your silent presence
Comforts me each time
I see your face

While others take –
You only give your
Soulful loving grace

Bubble Dreams

image

I
Blew some
Bubble
Dreams into the
Air
Thoughts
Of mine
My hopes and
Cares
And prayed
As each
Floated silently
Away from me
That one
Fragile
Vulnerable
Bubble dream
Would be carried
Gently back
To me


Inspired by an initial post of mine
Dreams as Bubbles before I had really started writing poetry:

Flying High

image

I fly to the light
I fly to you
I fly to where
The sun shines through

I fly with hope
I fly with love
I fly with wings
To heaven above

Love, Joy and Peace

Fruits that only Thou can give
Fill my heart with grace and truth
Love, joy and peace
