Scrying Bowl

 Eyeing deep down in my scrying bowl

I asked a question "Would it know"? Digging deeper into my thoughts Within the bowl an image it brought I stared inside with hesitant eyes I hoped it would not tell me lies The question on my mind this night Would my love ever leave my sight

I knew that his heart was hurt And did not deserve to be so cursed But the love he had for someone else Caused me to make a dark love spell At last a clear image appeared It was just as I had feared I could see the light around the rim As the Scrying Bowl began to dim I should have stopped but waited to see If the love he felt was just for me Mixing the potion in my haste I de-cantered the drink so as not to waste

I knew that his heart was hurt And did not deserve to be so cursed But the love he had for someone else Caused me to make a dark love spell

It kept really well until today

I poured it out to display Knocking it down the wishing well I ruined my dream and my spell

The scrying bowl Vision rapidly faded And now it seems my time was wasted Here's hoping he shows me one true love Or will I have to mix potions in My Jug

Maybe I should stand aside

And even be my own true guide

Try winning now a new lovers heart

while wishing him well while were apart.

I felt really well until today

I poured my heart out to display

I ruined the Magic of my spell

Knocking it down the wishing well.

Three Parts

 Three parts Sand and one of Cement

With added ballast to show that we meant

The foundation and Footings of True love

Would stay strong and stand proud with us

Standing on stone and solid ground

Would be the base from which we were found 

Nobody gave help "We built it from scratch

It came from desire with a love heart attached

Three parts Sand and one of cement

Mixed with water and our intent

To make us stronger than paper and Glue

The strength of Us "Yeah just Me and You"

We didn't need to get permission

To raise a family while on our Mission

To Share the love formed from our tools

The pavement the road the family jewels

People often said " How do you do it"

You would not need to ask if you had been through it

Its Hard work and a skilled craft

Building Family and Friends meant to last

Three parts Sand and one of Cement

With added ballast to show that we meant

The foundation and Footings of True love

Would stay strong and proud with us

People will recognize the lines on your face

 The Foundation you use just cant erase

The love and hard work above the ground

Will always be there forever Found

Three parts Sand and one of cement

Mixed with water and our intent

To make us stronger than paper and Glue

The strength of Us "Yeah family too

Painted Lady

 Red, yellow, black and blue

Soft wings flying into view
So many colors that flutter by
Words to describe, Our Butterfly

Little wonders, how they gleam
Living out a painted dream
Red Admiral Holly Blue
Tortoise Shell and Monarch too


Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
To the Buddleia at my back door
Colorful and cabbage white
Joy reflected taking flight


Faint breezes blow as they pass through
Whispering secrets, fresh and new
They wait so long to spread their wings
But when they do, my heart just sings

A silent song of gentle grace
Leaving smiles upon my face
Orange Tip Swallow Tail
On the wind they gently sail

Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
To the Buddleia at my back door
Colorful and cabbage white
Joy reflected taking flight

From a tiny chrysalis, a world unfolds
Stories whispered, brave and bold
Each a masterpiece, a fleeting art
A gentle rhythm in my heart


Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
Bringing beauty to my door
Small, large, or a medium size
Joy reflected in their eyes

Wings of wonder, light and free
Nature's gentle melody
Flying high for all to see
A painted lady with Honey Bee

Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
To the Buddleia at my back door
Colorful and cabbage white
Joy reflected taking flight

Dragon Knights

 Once upon a time in days of old

The maids were pretty and there knight so bold

Maidens would swoon when he came in to view He was focused and ready for his debut He always noticed the row of maidens But had just one single declaration To slay the dragon in the far away land And come back to claim the princesses hand

It came to pass both night and day

The Dragon kept his love at Bay

His true appearance and real life hidden

From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden So off he rode on his brave journey The princess thought him almost worthy Her heart belonged to one who was cursed The dragon, the knights new quest and thirst When a sudden fear hit her heart Did the knight know where to start? She knew the dragon once long ago He wasn’t bad , he was once her beau

It came to pass both night and day

The Dragon kept his love at Bay

His true appearance and real life hidden

From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden

While the princess paced around The knight was tracking the dragon down He wandered near and far away Not knowing where the dragon lay The princess saddled up her mare And hoped she’d find her beau somewhere She hurried near and far away Not giving the Knight a chance to slay

It came to pass both night and day

The Dragon kept his love at Bay

His true appearance and real life hidden

From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden

Surrender knight the dragon roared Do it now you have been Warned The brave knight fought with shield and sword Not knowing the dragon could transform The knight fought hard to no avail He had to give up he knew he had failed Just then the princess joined the two And the dragon transformed, her lover true.

It came to pass both night and day

The Dragon kept his love at Bay

His true appearance and real life hidden

From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden

They made a pact to keep their distance The kingdom not knowing of the dragons appearance And to this day with hand on heart They vowed to make a brand new start

Once upon a time in days of old

The maids were pretty and there knight so bold .

Constant Memory

 Do the memories of me still linger in your mind ?

"Is the feeling that you had" ,somewhere you can’t find ? Do you remember our first dance, Or has the moment just drifted past

I am living for the moment when Your mind remembers me once again What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care

Are the memories now somehow fleeting ?

Your heart next to mine still beating I don’t remember the time or day When bitterness eroded your past away You look at me now with curious eyes I’m praying you see me without your minds lies Unable to recall the love we’ve known Each loving embrace that we have shown I am living for the moment when

Your mind remembers me once again What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care For these moments that once starred in our lives You carry the vows that make me your wife I try and push through all these dark days For moments of hate to be erased I will be your constant memory Even if and when you don’t know me I will never go and leave your side You have always been my friend and guide

I am living for the moment when Your mind remembers me once again What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care

I have to trust the path ahead The great journey Let it be said That you and I will see this through Even though it seems like Déjà vu.

What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care

Straight Line Speed

Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

Cutting corners and opening up

The straight line speed will win the Cup 

Playing Eff  one sounds on the way to the track

My heart beats faster to Fleetwood Mac

The race crew ready in the pit lane

Singing along to Mac and the Chain

Running through the shadows singing together

The smell of petrol fumes and burning leather

Leaving the pit for a practice lap

Make up the time yeah decrease that Gap

Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

A laurel leaf hung around my neck

Before the day a physical wreck

These Formula ones like lightning Bolts

Gleaming and sleek just like Colts

The Horse Power of these machines

will take me far beyond My dreams

The turbo engine tort and tight

The Aerofoil resisting flight

Cutting corners and opening up

The straight line speed will win the Cup

Aerodynamic close to tar

A wonderful sight a Supercar

All a Driver wants is to win or place

When the checkered flag waves end of race

2 Tire stops are the plan to start

If the weather holds and plays its part

Starting on slicks and hope they last

Under heavy braking but cant get passed

Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

Cutting corners and opening up

The straight line speed will win the Cup

The plan is always build a gap

With tenths of seconds every lap

If a Yellow flag slows me down

It might mean I'll lose my crown

The final lap is within sight

The apex corner makes me fight

These tyres lose grip on every turn

The Rubber is slick but starts to burn

The pit crew radio says to slow down

But I wont respond or lose my crown

The Checkered Flag ends the race

And I slow down to take my place

On the podium I take a bow

Shake champagne all over now

The crowd applaud the perfect chase

And the fastest Driver in the G.P race

Waving to the crowd on my victory lap

I will wear the Laurel and Grande Pree Cap

Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

Cutting corners and opening up

My straight line speed just won the Cup

Telegraph Strut

 On the street you look so dapper

That titfer tat a trilby capper

Smashing the blue tie and tonic suit

Your baggy strides and daisy roots

Cha Man Cha Man Cor blimey Gov " 

Strutting down to the Telegraph

Buy a pint and chaser of Rum

Your utopia will soon come

Connect with your people down cold harbor lane

Play some dub  while playing the game

"Dominoes" The shout goes out

A double blank could take me out

Jump on the bus the number tree

To grab some goat and hot curry

Then down to Stockwell to place a bet

Long shot with the bucket but he aint dead yet
