The Disease
I was the disease that you never wanted,
I played games with your heart,
Whenever you looked into my eyes,
You couldn't handle the rush of emotions,
The feeling of falling,
Not knowing if I would be there to pick you up,
You played the role of gun and bullet,
Out to kill the disease that was aching at your heart,
Knowing that the disease is what you wanted,
But the pride is the bigger enemy to love,
Love would mean letting go,
Twirling out of control,
The shivers and shakes,
The withdrawals,
The heart breaking when you weren't with me,
Was all but the disease eating at you,
And you turned your back,
Walked away and killed the disease
With the bullet with words of lies,
Because I was the disease you wanted all a long.
“inkstand”
as i sit here today
trying to figure out
how to say
that my mind is about
to call it quits and
just walk away,
let the inkstand
rust and collapse in dismay
keep these words
‘let the inkstand rust and collapse in dismay….”
of words never written
take my chances to ride away
chasing a this crazy dream
it seems as if am about to betray
myself in my own crazy dream
so as i sit here today
trying to figure out
how to say
that my mind is about
to call it quits
just walk away
let the inkstand
rust and collapse in dismay
keep these words
“let the inkstand rust and collapse in dismay….”
of words never written
the dreamer in me
in which my hands only wrote
just let it be
within this note
keep these words
“let the inkstand rust and collapse in dismay….”
of words never written
Mountain Spring
So beautiful and gentle
Tinkling down
So amble
Moving forth, as to drown
My wailing cry
Of a broken heart
Please do not deny
As we depart
From this earth
And to reign in heaven
That our love was worth
And we were chosen
To love not deceit
Angel sings of
Music so sweet
As doves
Symbol our love
So beautiful and gentle
Tinkling down
So amble…
Moving forth, as to drown
Their cries, of bells to ring
To hear such sound
At the mountain spring
Dreams vs. Reality
I had it all at one time…
My moment in life
Where I thought everything
Was perfect and nothing
Could take that away,
It was only a year ago
When you were in my life
Sitting around chatting
Listening to your stories
Hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile,
But all I have now
Is memories and regrets
If I knew that telling you
How I felt would have
Cost me everything
I would have not told
You, but the feelings
Were so strong,
When we weren’t together
The emptiness
Felt like a frozen waterfall,
Just frozen in time
With love yearning
To show you
Then when we were together
The feelings were so true
As if God had put you there
To save me from falling off
That cliff that I was teetering on
Where dreams come true
Or they fell apart
Instead of waiting for you
I jumped off and told you
That I loved you
And now here I am
A year later still waiting
And only loving you
In my dreams at night.
Clouds of Gray
I awake with clouds of gray
Hanging over this head of mine
Skies are gloomy, sad looking
Upon my face
It feels if there is no way
To make the sun shine
Or to hear the birds sing
Searching for God’s grace
At the end of the day
Hoping God will give me a sign
Just a small ping
If it is only to embrace
When I bow my head to pray
Knowing His love is divine
He will take this aching
Heart and replace it
I can say
That today will be fine
And the birds will sing
The clouds will erase
And the sun will shine
Upon my face

Two dogs and a suitcase, the title says it all: what we have and where we are. This book, the sequel to Glass Half Full: Our Australian Adventure, follows our French exploits as we endeavour to rebuild our lives in another new country, after spending four and half years in Australia. Our goal, or hope for the immediate future, is to focus positively on the present, so that we can start a new, optimistic future back in Europe. Our main aim is to be nearer to the children, leaving the dark clouds of the challenges we faced in Australia as a distant memory. Journey with us as we arrive in rural South West France; enjoy my reflections, thoughts, and observations about my family, our new surroundings, and our lifestyle. Follow the journey of my writing career and how we start our renovation project while managing our convoluted family life. Once again, we will laugh, cry, and enjoy life to the fullest with a generous helping of positive spin thrown in for good measure.
