There will be times... - 21st November 2008

When we're together
and when we're apart
There will be times
that we may feel being ignored because of the silence
Know that it's untrue
for there are things on my mind to work on

There will be times
when we feel unloved/abandoned because of the distance and detachment
Know that it's untrue
for I have you close in my thoughts and heart

There will be times
when we can't be with each other
to support each other because of circumstances
Know that deep down
how I wish to be right by your side
to give you the support you need

There will be times
when we aren't listening to each other because our minds are blocked
Remember that we have to find our balance
to open our ears to listen with empathy and patience

There will be times
when things don't go the way we want to because of circumstances
or lack of understanding
Remember that we have to accept the things we can't control
and learn to deal with them
And for the things we can control
we will help each other have a better understanding
in order to find a solution together

There will be times
that one of us are not in the mood because of various reasons
Remember that
it's probably not your fault
and if it is
we will make sure to share our thoughts with each other
to gain an understanding so we can try reignite things
or find ways that work

There will be times
when life becomes like a roller coaster
Know that I will be riding the ride with you
till the end beside you

I love you!

The journey - 21st November 2008

The road ahead
a journey unknown
challenges to face
adversities to overcome
new adventures to experience
new wisdom to gain

The present journey
full of doubts, fear and uncertainties
Yet at the same time
full of peace, joy and certainties

Ride through the tides
Embrace all that come
Don't be frightened
Fight that fear
Shine to the best you can be
Yes - YOU CAN and WILL!

Frightened Soul, Child & Heart - 19th November 2008

A frightened soul within
Afraid to love
So afraid to open up completely
the fear within is great
that becomes the barrier of my desires
to create fully loving connections

A frightened child within
living in the darkness of the past
striving to see light through darkness
with courage and patience
knowing... that very fine day
will surely surface
that brings joy and peace
to my heart and soul

A frightened heart
seeking peace and love within
though been shattered, loved, and reborn
the journey to enlightenment continues
to heal, to forgive and love wholly and peacefully
and be thankful
for every experience that comes into my life
that brings wisdom for spiritual growth in my life

Thank you everyone
Thank you experience
Thank you universe
Thank you life
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.

To love - 18th November 2008

The love I have for you
frightens my soul and heart
It makes me vulnerable
and it makes me do silly things at times
It also helps me feel alive within

To love is to bare my soul
to the truth within
Exposing my greatness and vulnerabilities
to the one I love

Real love persists
through good times
and especially difficult times
The bond is never broken
but made stronger
and the love for each other
grows as those moments are being experienced.

Deep within - 15th November 2008

Deep within this solid frame
lives a vulnerable being and soul
that long to love and be loved
but also afraid to hurt and be hurt

A soul...
longing to understand and be understood
to move other beings and be moved
to help others and be helped
to love and care for others and be loved and cared for by others
to support others and be supported
to forgive and be forgiven by others

Deep within this solid frame
lives a vulnerable being and soul
a seeker of life's wisdom and beauty.

Don't be afraid - 11th November 2008

Two poems written at different times Oct/Nov 2008 have been combined to create this poem.

Loving you brings pain and joy
Painful memories, loving memories, beautiful memories

A fragile heart
to be taken care
with great care and attention

Dear love,

Don't be afraid to love me
For I will not hurt you
but embrace your love with an open heart
and love you even more

Don't be afraid to tell me your worries
For I will lend my ear and shoulder
and be there for you always

Don't be afraid to share with me
your intimate thoughts and fantasies
For I will listen with an open mind
I may agree, disagree or need time to think about it for a while
You'll never know what my answer may be
till you ask me

Don't be afraid to hurt me with the truth
For I will embrace it
with understanding and an open heart
Though I may be blinded by the truth or rage
In time
wisdom on the blessings
will clear the blindness within.

Don't be afraid to touch me
For I will embrace your soft touches and nurturing
Your desire is the aphrodisiac of the moment
that keeps my desires alive within

Don't be afraid to share your dreams, joy and sorrows
For I will support, rejoice and cry with you
and hold you close with support and understanding

Don't be afraid to approach me
for any thoughts that you may have
For I will give you my attention and empathy
whenever you need it

Remember dear
Don't be afraid
For I am here with an open mind and heart
with empathy, love, courage, patience, compassion and wisdom.

Divided - 12 September 2008

Seperated in two worlds
each minding their own business
and trying to stay connected
careful not to break the bond of unity

Seperated in two minds
Which is right?
Which is wrong?
Where is the line drawn
between the gray and black and white?

Love you - 30th August 2008

Thinking of you
puts a smile on my face
I love you dearly
from the bottom of my heart
I wish to be right by your side now
embracing you tenderly

Your presence builds my path to great wisdom
Encouraging me to live and learn
with patience, perseverance and courage

You have been my inspiration
to grow and nurturing my love within

My dear
I love you so dearly
from the bottom of my heart.

Desires, illusion and reality - 12th November 2008

3 short poems written at different times in year 2006/07 which were "incomplete" have been combined here to create this poem.


Sun shining bright
up in the sky
Clouds passing by
forming every form
in your eyes and mine
in your mind and mine

Fighting through hardships
to reach the stars
to fight for the truth
to have our dreams realized

Every drop of sweat
every effort contributed
within desires and reality
stems illusional paths
and the challenge to stay real.
