"I am proud of you." That is what we all want to hear, is it not?
Yup... 36 yrs old and still waiting to hear it. Doubt I will now but there you go.

It's very moving isn't it? x
These arent my words. But they have really meant a lot to me. Hope you dont mind.
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
James Blunt: Goodbye My Lover. If your in that place and you hear this its like a nuclear bomb to your heart! Why do people do it to themselves eh?

I was 38, and my Father was pretty much on his deathbed when we had a chat.
He was brave enough to hand over certain responcabilities to me also at that time... So not only do I appreciate his words and courage, I would hope I still stand up to his expectations.
I hadnt previously given him all that much to be proud of.

kiss Your dad loved you and even if you don't ever meet those expectations you have the knowledge he loved you regardless. x
Snow, white lying
we draw near
shear the warmth
deep in snow white.
My Love for You Is Simple, Deep, and Strong
My love for you is simple, deep, and strong.
I feel it flowing towards you from my heart,
A tide of unsophisticated song,
Sung with much desire and little art.
I cannot tell my love, but it will show
In ways that even I cannot foresee;
A love as full as mine must overflow
Into everything that makes me, me.
Just as the sun must shine to be the sun
And trees burst forth in blossom every year,
So I must love in ways that everyone
Can see or sense or reason out or hear.
Still, I'll tell you of my love in this:
For fear, despite all, you might my love miss.
Knowing this body
is like foam,
realizing its nature
a mirage.
Foam upon a spring tide
cast upon a beach.
Leo Marks, 1920.
The life that Ihave
Is all that Ihave
And the life that I have is yours
The love thatI have
of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep Ishall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours
To my Choon from his better half.

.you are very lucky x
I've always had a fondness for this poem
You were my little baby girl
And I knew all your fears
Such joy to hold you in my arms
And kiss away your tears
But now you're gone
There's only pain
And nothing I can do
And I don't want to live this life
If I can't live for you
This one is the wedding vows from one of my favourite episodes of the best sitcom in the world Will & Grace (if anyone would like to dispute my claim then it'll be me and them with swords at dawn duel) This little extract moved me and helped me patch up a problem i had with a loved one at the time.
When I'm feeling like there's no love coming to me...
And I have no love to give...
When I'm feeling separated from the world...
And cut off from myself...
When I'm feeling annoyed by every little thing...
Because I'm not getting what I want...
I'll remember that there is an infinite amount of love available to me.
And I'll see it in you.
I'll remember that I am complete within myself...
So I'll never have to look to you to complete me.
And most of all, I'll remember that everything I really need I already have, and whatever I don't have will come to me when I'm ready to receive it
There is only one rosebud
left in the world.
With asmazement they
watch to see if it was going to bloom.
Wjith sorrow in there heart the people scream for fairness.
the world is taken over by greed, obsession and selfishness.
Where did the compassion and the love go.
Is as when the leaf fall in the autumn and give a heartbreaking call.
Our childrens future lays in the hands of powerfull people.
Who falls down in the line.
we have to change to give the world a chance.
Quote by Carpathian
This isn't aimed at any one person in here - though some of you will recognise different bits that make sense from on/off forum comments - it's more aimed at the forum as a whole.
It rather cheekily wrote itself (it never even asked me first !) about 10mins ago and just deserved to be on here somewhere as it didn't really fit in any other thread.
Maybe, to aid others in the same dilemma, this could become a "sticky" poetry thread for original SH related works ? {subtle hint}
It'll build itself into a nice collection as theres plenty of gems written by people all round the cafe on post-it notes already. Maybe just the works themselves clear of other posts ?
Just a suggestion, of course !

To write I try and shall do more,
Stories and words of rhyme,
Ramblings enthused on subjects mixed,
Against brevity a crime.
I'm no star with music,
You'd not think my tastes too great,
Where playing of the notes concerned,
Below amateur I'd rate.
My use of chalk or brush and oil,
Is naught to make you smile,
Attempts to play with lumps of clay,
A task just not worthwhile.
Language tricks and usage tried,
A love of mine all told,
Flys past to land in barren ground,
And leave it's target cold.
What do I hold that marks me out,
From any other soul ?
What glue of magical effect,
Constrains to keep me whole ?
All I have is all I am,
No glitter strewn around,
Hugs and smiles sent freely out,
My willingness unbound.
So if you get to know me,
Then I hope you'll see my worth,
Born out of SH madness,
A friendship given birth.
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams
Quote by Drewxcore

IF WE COULD HAVE YOU BACK.....
If we could have you back for just one day
There would be so many things we would like to say
If we could just be with you for one whole day
To have you close and know that you really are Okay.
If we had known that you would be gone forever
If we had known all those ties were going to be severed
If we had known the pain, the loss, and the ache
If we had known the difference without you would make.
In the darkness you slipped away from us all,
Now it's just your memories that we have to recall,
They say that parting is such sweet sorrow,
But it's the longing, the wondering, and how to cope with tomorrow
They say that grieving a child is the very worst
Cause life's plan is that the parents should go first.
Now all we have are memories, the good times that we had,
We spend so much time in tears, and pain and feeling sad,
So if we could have you back for just one day,
You could let us know, how to cope until that judgment day,
When we'll be together as a family once again,
When we'll all be happy and free from all this pain.
Oh! It’s so hard to live when your child has to die,
Then we spend our lifetime trying to say Goodbye!
Glorious cherry blossom
Deep the petals
when the tree is beaten.

Colourful cherry blossom

kiss
To some 'no' is the hardest word,
it brings so much pain.
... but better on time
than later.
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart
as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom
gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
Oh, how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Many years ago Offa had a on the hills of Wales
Many men stood stiff and tall looking at movement on the hills of Wales.
Good men picked up their weapons on the hills of Wales.
Alas poor Offa has pasted on from the hills of Wales.
Time and age have round that on the hills of Wales.
Yet, still men and women walk on the hills of Wales.
To take their pleasure at that mighty cut on the hills of Wales.
Yesterday's man is gone.
Tomorrow's yet to be.
I am still here.
When the storm is rough;
And the going get tough.
When you're buried in pain;
All your efforts are in vain.
When all odds you meet;
And your friends retreat.
When you're broken in tears;
In despair and in fears.
When you lose - inspite of your best;
Toiling hard - no sleep - no rest.
Utterly confused - knowing not what's right;
Not a single miracle is in sight.
Shattered dreams - wounded thought;
Failing strength 'n' hope is lost.
You can carry on with firm Determination;
A smile - a touch - is a consolation.
All you need is just a bit of Inspiration
Run Before I Fall
I feel like I've known you forever
But sometimes it feel I don't know you at all
Since time began you weaved a pattern on my Conscience
Made me, me, gave me a will, gave me a call
I sense you mood change with the weather
I feel the sunshine on my face
The way the wind plays with my hair
The walls I've built begin to wither
Can I withstand the words you bear
Can I be what you want me to be
Begs the question that you ask me
Can I believe the way you want me to believe
I am walking now but will I run before I fall
I can't deny that times a pleasure when I'm with you
But still I try to catch myself before I fall
All the I know tells me, resist this fleeting notion
All that I feel tells me I must surrender all
Your scent attracts me with its sweetness
It draws me in
My senses struggle to be free
I must put will before emotion
Please tell me what you want from me.
I must say she looks rather nice
I have seen her on cam once or twice
She seems to be funny
When she strokes her bunny
but she's not as bright as posh spice.
kisses to PK!!
