Mush is good?

So I hope that I can do short stories to add to my repetoire of new and interesting things!! But I'm returning to my first love for this post, no, not Alistair or F1; poetry!

A few things have happened recently that have made me re-think life. I'm not so much of a pessimist about things any more and it's easier just to go with things sometimes. The willingness to change has come from doing well in my A-Levels, learning more in general about people and the way they react, and God forbid, breaking down the walls that I've protected myself with for so long. I've never trusted anyone to be fair, always doubted motives, and actions. But I've been taught a lesson recently that what you give out, you get back in return.

I feel fortunate to have had a great support network when I've needed someone to cry on. I've come to the conclusion, tears aren't worth wasting on those who never mattered to begin with. I've decided in all honest mush can be good. Here are a few poems I've written in the last dew weeks. Take from them what you will but above all enjoy them!

One Look

My eyes close as you stroke my brow,

I don't know why, I don't know how

this came to be,

This safe warm place called you and me.

You talk to me, your dulcet tones,

They make me drift, for I am home

When your near me and we are free.

-----

I rest my head upon your chest

The time of day that I love best

When we become Us,

We laugh, we talk there's no fuss.

All it took was one look at you

To know all that I felt was true

It was reciprocated in those eyes.

------

I smile a secret little grin

But know that this smile is also within,

Just for you,

These feelings strong and new

They overtook me claimed my heart

Like tiny little works of art

That I hang within my soul.

-----

So take my weary heart with yours.

It may be bruised from closing doors

on my past,

Knowing Us will be at last.

My eyes they look upon yours now

And in my soul I know somehow,

That one look-was all it took

To find the missing half of me.

Meeting

Is it over my sweet friend?
Is it over for goodbye,
Change, the moving change clasped in your hand….
That’s how should it all end?
Is it how we all will be?
Inside we understand…
We stay, pray, cry, love..
Outside we kiss goodbyes..
Ready to jump off the cliff….
Then we are one.

Is it just the interaction this much, in
This life…my sweet friend.
Or must we stretch beyond..
Will you remember me as I should be?
As we were near the start.
We stay pray, cry, love
Outside we kiss good byes
Ready to jump off the cliff..
Then we are one.

This world provided,
Now that I have found you…
From above, we are part….
We are one…
We are some….
We look around,
Bound by the threads….
Tugging each for truth…
We break some, make some.
And take some.

We stay pray, cry, love
Outside we kiss good byes
Ready to jump off the cliff..
Then we are one.

Muse

Promise me this,

Nothing is ever to difficult,

No mountain to hard to climb,

No goal too hard too acheive,

No dream too hard to make real.

Work hard

As hard as you can.

You'll get there.

-----

Promise me this,

Walk every road,

take every step

Analyse every day and smile.

Try all things new

Work hard,

As hard as you can.

You'll get there.

-----

Promise yourself,

Live every day to learn,

And learn every day you live.

Believe in yourself,

Be true to you.

Listen to your heart.

Work hard,

As hard as you can.

You'll get there.

-----

So when the dark clouds accumulate

Think of all those steps you take

Never let them get in your way.

You will succeed and have your day

If you've worked hard.

As hard as you can.

You'll get there.

Some nice mush, and dare I say it optimism there for you!
