Falling Apart

Why can't we understand eachother? why are we so far apart? did I come from my heart? can't we go back to the start? why are we falling apart? Love should be patient and kind Not Blind! Not Blind! My eyes water; my heart aches for you... With or without you - I don't know how to say goodbye! It doesn't make sense... Afraid to speak our hearts... Instead we just fall apart... and apart...and apart...

Baby Come Back

Come back so I can hold you - so I can put my arms around you... kiss you on your heavy eye lids, say nothing; just hold your hand - not apologise anymore... it doesn't make any difference. just hold you until the pain goes away until we get back on the love train - to where we used to be...

For Lisa

The paint that swirls,
And dances on the canvas.
The words that leave your mouth.

The light in your eyes,
From the sun in your heart.
I have no doubt.

The more you show me,
The more I’m in awe.
You fly through my mind.

I miss your beauty,
Yet you are here.
Love is not confined.

By my dear friend karl 2012

Reach!

Grow like a tree
From smallest beginnings
To endless possibilities
And reach for the Sun...

Karl Adams

A poem for Lisa

She drifted in from nowhere –
Out of the Blue and Green
Gathering friends around her
Painting her Rainbow scene

She sent me off to 'cuckoo-land'
And somewhere in-between,
But to penetrate my very soul
Was something unforeseen

'Vancouver Days' - her lovely ways,
She radiates a glow.....
Inspiring and beguiling me
Creating an undertow.

But then her wanderlust returns,
New Zealand was the calling –
Leaving me to contemplate
Would she ever be returning?

Perhaps, with time, the day will come
When surely she will see
The only place she'll feel at home
Is right here, and with me!

Unlikely? Well, of course it is!
The Horizon is her target,
As her relentless search begins
Another day of searching.

Although I only have one wish –
That we share our lives for ever,
Her needs, as such, do not include
Combining our endeavour.

So here am I, forced to admit
The one hope for my salvation
Is that she'll find her perfect Love
Within this very Nation.

And then with all that searching over
A simple message I will send her –
"Should your world collapse around you
I'll still be close on hand, to hold you.

My Eager Heart

My eager heart fell again...
Like it had never had pain;
Never been broken.
Why so soon?
Why so quickly?
The heart feels no fear!
Ever ready to love...
Remaining open; remaining pure.
There I go again,
Fluttering to the love theme...
Til the day my love will be requited.

Rose buds

Petalled, gently, silent touches caress the skin.
Speak it, relay it, play it, spend the day inside it.
What of it? Blooming stars gaze - speak the unspoken word.
Soul free - free the soul, live it, your way.

Actors mock, there's not much talk - speak it still.
Lay awake for it, petalled down, keeping it free.
Blabbering woman or sensitive soul?
Growth belongs to us, to this day - let it be ours.
There is a depth amongst you, keep it real.
Misunderstood yet still - never to become more than that.

Petalled still, gently spoken, let the trees bloom with roses!
Cherried blossoms, lost amongst them, their pretty smell.
Keep the silence, speak the real thoughts - flowering gardens.
Forget the pretense, no matter how intense - have sense!

Rose buds blossom into flowers, beautfiful, pretty ladies.
Their days are numbered, so are yours...

Devastating

Devastating - realising the real you,
After all that's been said and done...
You've won.
Or so it seems; the battle, not the war!
What are you fighting for? The real deal?
Or your own ambition?
Did your heart get lost in the process?
I think so! I know so!
The heart doesn't care for ambition,
Silly rules or selfish needs!
The heart loves, gives, soars, expresses endless beauty.
The art of the heart is love...

Lisa.c

If you're going to be anything...

Be an Inspiration...
A trail blazer
A pioneer
Do it without hestitation
Though it will be hard
Though they may hate you
Be it, for if not you -
Then who?

Beautiful messages from friends along the road...

"Sunnyside is slightly less sunny without you and your verve, energy and yet thoughtful clamness. Wishing you people that welcome you, appreciate you and inspire you too."

"You have the courage to make decisions others can only dream about...you are a born leader. You are an inspiration to many and an unbelievable amazing and kick ass friend to me. You give 100% in everything you do. The Lisa I know always wants to challenge herself and get the most out of life. Your shoes say "No fear" - your head says bring it on. I'm going to miss you, the tea, the oversized coloured cups, the Lisa on the bike never stopping, the Lisa who took off my door, painted the room and built the wardrobe, the painter, circuit champion and Taekwondo dancer yet there is a big bold world out there that needs Lisa and it's yours for the taking!"

"Lisa, genius ninja and lovely free-spirit, the world is a brighter and better place for you being in it. All the best on your travels, I know that good things will come to you. Hope you're back this way at some point in the great unknown future. Will miss you like crazy! Homeslice!"

"Dear Lisa - thank-you so much for all your wonderful help and inspiration! People like you are rare. Keep your enthusiasm, talent and smile up!"

"as Ali himself might say, you the greatest - the double greatest even! I've had a brilliant trip and got to see what a good friend you are to me and others, all the time."

"keep spreading the joy Lisa and help us all come alive."

"You're so friendly and crazy, we could share so much time with a laugh. I love your character. I was glad that you were trying to listen to what I said. Thank-you for trying to understand carefully. Your painting makes everybody happy - never stop painting!! Wishes you all the best with lots of love."

"Thought I would give you this small gift as a token to thank you so much for your wonderful gift to me - your total trust and friendship and for being the lovely person you are; a funny - little, gorgeous, little Irish - talkin', rapid-fire sweet-talker of a woman...who blew me away from day one! You are a very precious individual...the world is a much better place for having people like you within it..."

"I will miss you so much. Thank-you for always being a true friend. To know you is to love you, you truly bring joy to the world."

She'll be that Girl

That walks alone
That Speaks the truth
That tells it so
She'll be that Girl

Separated forever in heart-knowing
Ahead of the pack
A leader, a pioneer
She'll be that Girl

That stands alone
Misunderstood
Infinite wisdom
Many past lives
She'll be that Girl

Colourful they say
But why so different?
Why can't she be like the rest of us?
An outcast
She'll be that Girl

That hurts just like everyone else
Feeling pain more intensely at times
Everything intensely
She'll be that Girl

Misunderstood
Harsh, hard, painful lessons
Heart-breaking
Generousity beyond words
Strong vulnerability
She'll be that Girl

Waiting longer, stooping lower
Raising higher
Spiritual journey - the divine quest
Simple living, living with the basics
She'll be that Girl

A life without regrets
reaching new heights
A spirit like the wind
She'll be that Girl

An inspiration to all
Answering to divine call
Going with her heart
To the depths of her very soul
She'll be that Girl

Looks and stares in wonder and disgust
Questions, assumptions, perceptions
Wrongly accused
She'll be that Girl

A queen
Regal
Born to lead
She'll be that Girl

Achieving greatness of the soul
Humility
Strength
Courage
She'll be that Girl
