A Comet’s Tale…

The moonlit grove
withheld
all breath,
as the
fallen figure
prepared for death.
Ancient eyes pleaded
the night sky to relent
’til as prophecy foretold
his comet began it’s ascent.
The Ancient One smiled,
as with a final surge
he let go life,  evaded death,
… his soul flying high to merge…

Inner Voice..…

 
“Let me tell you a secret”
the voice softly said,
as I looked around
it seemed in my head.
I walked on a few paces
but the voice said again
’Let me tell you a secret
I can relieve your pain”

My mind suddenly swirling
answering “I have no pain”
made the voice more insistent
as firmly it repeated again
”Let me tell you a secret
as only you can decide
should your heart be as open,
as your imagination is wide.”

I surrendered the battle,
and finally said with a sigh
“Please tell me your secret
and to whom it does apply”
My Inner voice said softly
”It applies only to you
regain faith in yourself
just be resolute and true”

“You are truly the sum
of those gone before,
just don’t lose heart,
should emotions be sore
you will meet once again
the ones you have lost
live your own life, be brave,
and never, ever count the cost…”

Imprints…..

Lazy waves lapping
ebbing and flowing
erasing my footprints
as I wander the shore
The sound of the sea
is like musical rhythm
my heavy heart lifts
I walk on once more…
A deep pulling love
this call of the sea
making senses feel
a primeval ache,
never let me resist
needing the sea’s kiss
should reality be dream
never let me wake….

LadyP…

I find myself trying to rhyme all the time, see?… My mind seems to want to stay in rhyming mode, I don’t know why. I used to blog a few years ago, I used to share my everyday life, anything and everything that I thought would be of interest, until I suddenly realised my whole life was there, written on those pages for all to see…My pain, my laughter, my mistakes and my triumphs…I went too far with the sharing..It was not good, looking back, I know it could have been classed as therapy, maybe, and perhaps cheap at the price, but it had to stop. Things were getting out of hand and so Lady Penelope was born on WLS and then on Blogspot .… I feel free to try different subjects, a different way of connecting with people…Whereas before it was a case of this is my life, warts and all, it’s now… these are my poems, my stories, read them if you will, they are a part of me, my way of looking at the world, sad sometimes, happy others, for we are a mixture of the two are we not?.

WE are a combination of our Past, Present and soon to be future…so, I hope you have enjoyed what’s on offer…as much as I enjoyed preparing them for your delectation!…..
