Full of energy,
He knows not what's to come
No expectations,
His greatness has begun
Enigmatic smile,
He doubts what he knows
Softest eyes,
His composure surely grows
Selfless compassion,
He strives to please the undeserving
Contagious laughter,
His continual struggle for observing
Uplifted spirit,
He continues his journey
Trusted soul,
His presence soothes with deep serenity
Strong willed,
He can achieve full potential
Understanding heart,
His inspiration overcomes all obstacles

When I get home from work
I am all alone
Can't sleep one wink at night babe
Don't know what's going on

Ever since I could remember boy
I've been yanked around
Don't know what to do anymore
Since I've been shot down
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

Can't shake this feeling inside
It's got me tangled up
No-one know why I cry honey
Can't seem to give it up

Last man I was with
Seemed to be ok
Except when he got angry Babe
I just couldn't get away
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

No-one wants to listen boy
Nothing good to say
I awoke that very morning
Please make the pain go away

Memories come back to haunt me
Don't know what went wrong
I said never again honey
Will this ever go on
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

Now I pray that I'll find
Someone who'll do me right
Don't know where to start
Without my peace of mind

I'm doomed from the beginning
Until my thoughts rest
Can't seem to stop screaming
Release the pain in my chest
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

When I get home from work
I am all alone
Can't sleep one wink at night babe
Don't know what's going on

Ever since I could remember boy
I've been yanked around
Don't know what to do anymore
Since I've been shot down
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

February 1999

Opiniated, chinup
I stand tall
For I am faced with those who
oppose all

Carefree, I chose my destiny
With reservation
For I am the few who believes
in continuity

Strong, my will is good
Without judgment
For I am a woman who'll
fight her opponent

Single, tears are shed
In respect
For I am condemned in solitude
in all aspects

Kindness, wounds will heal
With time
For I am a soul who
deserves no crime

January 1999

A picture immobolizes us in action
It reflects our images, our bodies and our features
The captured moment is a memory that is cherished
Keep it! Don't lose it! It must survive

December 1998

When I see your face
I smile inside and out
Nothing could erase
The beauty of your pout

Working hard to make your way
Makes me proud
Wanting to hold you this day
Shatters that gloomy cloud

When you held me all night long
I set my fears aside
You help me become strong
While keeping your pride

I may not be much in your eyes
But this is who I am
Creeping thoughts willed disguise
Can't say love you, damn

Forgetful, it's ok to dream
Wild and unspoken lust
Evidently made to seem
I long for someone to trust

October 1998

Your Eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see you kneeling before me
Your soul
Your touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see you reaching out for me
Your soul
You touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see you standing beside me
Your soul
Your touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see you strong holding me
Your soul
Your touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see you embracing me gently
Your soul
Your touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see you, a surprise to me
Your soul
Your touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see your hopes teasing me
Your soul
Your touch
You've loved so much
When I look into your eyes

Amitie L'evident!

Tendresse inconnue a plusieurs
Sauf d'un sourire, mon bonheur
Chouette du jour au lendemain
Cote a cote, il y a rien que je craind

Ma vie, ma force vient de toi
Tu as toujours eu plein de foie

Inspiree, joyeuse, pleine de vie
Avec des peines et des soucies
Forte du coeur et de pensees
Tu auras plusieurs opportunitees

Ma vie, ma force vient de toi
Tu as toujours eu plein de foie

Ignorant les defauts qui t'entourent
J'serai la pour toi pour toujours
C'est comme ca se faire aime
L'evident est la joie, l'amitie

1998

When I get home from work
Nobody's home
Just an empty apartment
That's right I'm alone

Can't seem tosleep at night
Not too much rest
Nothing seems right
So I clean up this big mess

Cleaning everyday
That's all I can do
Until you come to visit
Then there was two

I like my space
No-one there to fight
Can't restrain my pain
So I ride and take a hike

1998

J'en veux plus

Je les vois, lors de mon repos
Si doux, si calment et si beaux
Ils m'inspirent, me captent, j'en veux plus

Pouvant voir l'interieur de son coeur
Je les vois, ce sont mon bonheur
Ils m'inspirent, me captent, j'en veux plus

Je ne cour plus, mes reves soumets
Il a mon ame, mon coeur, je l'admet
Ils m'inspirent, me captent, j'en veux plus
Ses yeux m'ont pris, me gardent avec surplus

1998 mai

Son Ame Apparait

Un homme tendre, calme et chaleureux
Entre confiant avec douceur dans ses yeux
Sourire d'un homme profond avec ambition
Comble toutes idees avec l'emotion

Energie, son ame apparait
Sans soupcons tous l'aimait

Un homme sensible, souriant et joyeux
Voit-il pas qu'il est chanceux?
Levres d'un homme adoucie avec plein de baiser
Fond le coeur de qulqu'un toujours rejetee

Energie incroyable, son ame apparait
Sans exceptions tous l'aimait

Un homme excitant, juste et myserieux
Courage imaginable avec touche soyeux
Courtoisie d'un homme fort avec un grand coeur
Une presence qui surmonte tout autre bonheur

Reach Deep Within

There's been times in my life
I thought I couldn't go on
Loneliest yesterdays, I'm still going strong

So I reach deep within my soul
To find my self-control
And I hope to discover me

And I reach deep within my soul
To find my self control
And I hope to discover me

There's a whisper in my ear
I've been longing to hear my dear
Saying darling I believe in you

So I reach deep within my soul
To find my self control
And I hope to discover me

And I reach deep within my soul
To find my self-control
And I hope to discover me

There's a thought entering my mind
I thought I had left behind
That's keeping me awake

So I reach deep within my soul
To find my self control
And I hope to discover me

And I reach deep within my soul
To find my self-control
And I hope to discover me

There's been nights in my past
I was hoping wouldn't last
They've crept up and are still haunting me

So I reach deep within my soul
To find my self-control
And I hope to discover me

And I reach deep within my soul
To find my self control
And I hope to discover me

I reach deep within
My soul
To find and discover me

Our Wondrous Ice Castle/Fort

Winnipeg, MB

January 2010

Many nights I lie awake and I ponder
The joys, the laughter and all the wonder
Capturing the delightful moments instilled
By wondrous moments that are willed

Feb 1998

Entering the Room

Poised confidence enters the room
Hearts beat faster way too soon

Entranced by amagnetic smile
Across the room for a while

Content environment makes a shiver
Weakened knees start to quiver

Dark eyes locked deep in the soul
Stirred feelings beyond control

Music plays though it is silent
It must mean true contentment

Haircutting My Addiction

I shed my fears aside
When I Shed what I hid behind
But, my past still comes to haunt me....

I cut...and cut... and cut some more
To run away from the past
Hoping to change my wounds within

Finaly, I stop to realize... my wounds can't heal from cutting
And I'm running not away
But, into my worst fears... I am addicted and I am ashamed

To all my readers...

I must apologize for the sudden end to the chronology of my writings. I have been severely preoccupied with some courses which needed my devout attention. I am sure you all can relate to the feeling of accomplishment once you reach a goal that has been long overdue. :)

I am proud to report that I am now a certified Relaxation Therapist and am ready to re-ease into the world of chronological writing! This is an essential part of myself that I had to neglect and I now realize was a great part of stress release for myself.

Stay tuned for new emerging poetry that has been collecting dust on my desk. Thank you for your patience and for all the wonderful comments.

A bientot!
