Writing can be a window to the soul...a way to release your emotions that can't be said...a non-confrontational way to let people know how you feel and sometimes a pressure relief valve. Here are some of my favourite poems...some written by me, some by others.

I'm fine till early morning,
When the memories drop by.
They visit uninvited,
And tend to multiply.
I'm awed by your love
I melt before your smile.
I reach out to your presence,
Held closely all the while.
Those moon lit nights and roses,
Kept promises of play
To tender love's proposes,
That heightened every day.
And tho' dark friends surround me,
The shadows on the wall,
The ever vigil street light,
The lonely morepork's call.
This room still bathes in moonlight,
Is filled with roses' hue,
But empty as a promise,
Without the near of you.

Our friendship has grown stronger now
Our loneliness left behind
You taught me all the things in life
I thought I'd never find
Whenever I'm feeling down
You pick me up from the floor
You make me feel a life ahead
So I feel like living once more
You give me advice so freely
You talk to me of pain
You tell me about things in life
I owe you all I've gained
Because you mean so much to me
And because your love has given me the greatest joy I know
Because you're such a part of me
I'll never let you go
Our friendship will last for ever
Though people may think it won't
I think it will because I feel like I know you so much better

This poem was written for me by my niece Milly

To My Dearest KELZ

I've known you all my life
And I've always called you Kel
You are my mum's little sister
And you've always meant well

I know I can always come to you
When I need some advice
And I know I can trust you
Cause you're really really nice

You know you're like a sister to me
And you treat me like one too
That makes me feel really special
Because I can trust and talk to you

If you ever need someone to talk to
You know where I am
I live in a far away land that you dislike
Lending a helping hand

So ring me if you need to talk
And I'll try to understand
Don't be scared to tell me what's wrong
Cause I'm here to hold your hand

So remember this and keep in mind
People like these are hard to find
For our friendship is very true
I'm always going to have time for
YOU

I watch you silently sleep
Your little hands caressing the cat
Your hair framing the angelic face
Such a big heart for a little girl
A heart filled with love and yet so much pain

Your body in stark contrast from moments earlier
Shaking with fear,
Each sob making your little body writhe
A mother holding back her own tears.

Tears of a time gone by
Tears of not knowing
Thru the sobs come tiny words
Four words that can make grown men cry
"I miss my Nana"

You lie there...holding you close
Telling you that Nana and I love you
Feeling my heart tear from my body
How can I help you understand little one?
When I myself don't understand?

A lonely soul
In turning time
A rising toll
Of shattered minds
A darkened night
With saddened fears
A losing fight
On deafened ears
Decisions made
Cease to weep
Plans are made
For eternal sleep
Goodbyes spoken
Life resigned
One last token
A star that shines

This poem was written by Sexy_Smiles (Sonia)

I am not there, don't look for me
My laughter, my smile, and my joy are not there
My tears, my frown, and my sadness are not there
Do not weep your tears for me,
I am not there
Nothing of mine is there, only a headstone with my name,
I am not there
That's not even my body, it was only a shell to hold my spirit,
I am not there
Hold me in your heart, for I am there...
