The Greatest Gift
@ Tuesday, Jul. 24, 2012 – 20:21:13
The Gift of Life
I gave it to you many years ago
Nurtured you and helped you grow
The gift of life is a priceless thing
And in exchange I expect nothing
Enough to see the life you live
The gift of life was mine to giveMarian Barker©

Transport of Delight
@ Friday, Jul. 20, 2012 – 08:03:10
Heaven
Wrap me in a gossamer sheet of silver stars
Enfold me in a silk cocoon
Take me in your arms tonight
Beneath a golden moonCover me with a thousand kisses
Surround me by your love
Transport me with rapture
To paradise aboveMarian Barker©

Ghosts
Be still you restless ghosts
Haunting my sleeping hours soBe quiet you mocking ghosts
Taunting me, causing me woeBe gone you hurtful ghosts
Haunting me endlessly ~ GOMarian Barker©

A Friend in Need
@ Tuesday, Jul. 10, 2012 – 07:59:28
Troubled Soul
Oh troubled soul please do tell
What makes your life a living hell?
Please talk to me with all your heart
And tell me when did it all start?Oh troubled soul it hurts me so
To see you and to never know
What makes you sad and makes you cry
Please try and give the reason whyOh troubled soul you’re not alone
I haven’t got a heart of stone
I cannot guess just how you feel
But talking often helps things healOh troubled soul I’d like to aid
I hate to see you so dismayed
Problems shared become less whole
So share with me oh troubled soulMarian Barker©

Deadlier than the Male
@ Monday, Jul. 09, 2012 – 08:00:00
The Temptress
Cascading locks and ruby red lips
Dazzling eyes and swaying hips
Men fall at her feet in adoration
Mesmerised by this creation
Drinking in every word she says
Forever singing of her praise
Sitting there beneath her table
Eating crumbs when ever able
Eagerly pandering to each whim
Chanting her name just like a hymn
Blinded by beauty oblivious they stand
Not realising that this is all planned
The temptress has power second to none
A toss of her hair and the temptress is gone
And there in her wake prostrate they lie
Giving themselves up and ready to die
The temptress looks back once or twice
Despising the pitiful human sacrifice
The ruby red lips still on her face
Parted, revealing an evil grimace
The beautiful façade did cleverly hide
A more sinister, cruel person insideMarian Barker©

Says it all.....
@ Sunday, Jul. 08, 2012 – 08:26:07
Clear and Simple
What you see is what you get
Even though we haven’t met
What you get is what you see
You simply get the real meMarian Barker©

Thoughts at the Bus Stop
@ Friday, Jul. 06, 2012 – 15:13:06
Epilogue
One date that was all
Luncheon
With a pleasant man
One word said it all
“Epilogue”
Ended before it began
One thought came to mind
Was it cruel or was it kind?
“Epilogue” no right to reply
“Epilogue” or “Goodbye”Marian Barker©

The Ripple Effect
@ Tuesday, Jul. 03, 2012 – 10:10:16
Ripples in the Pool
Like a pebble he dropped
And shockwaves radiated
He couldn’t have known
What his action created
Yet the ripples go on
Years after that day
Touching so many lives
In so many a way
Questions unanswered
Thoughts left unsaid
Silent and painful
In everyone’s head
A mother, a sister,
A friend and a brother
Children having to cope
One way or another
Some just didn’t make it
And drowned in their sorrow
Yet those ripples extend
Into every tomorrow
Ripples in the pool
Still go on and on
A constant reminder
Of one who is goneMarian Barker©

Friendship
@ Monday, Jul. 02, 2012 – 07:52:42
A Constant Companion
No drama, no fuss, honest and true
A friend who means the world to you
No airs or graces, constant and calm
Nothing they do would do you harm
Caring and sharing, loving and kind
Always living with you in their mind
A constant companion loyal to the end
Someone special, a dear lovely friend©Marian Barker
