Poetry for today: Running out of time

Running out of time

 –

Tick tack

Tick tock

Running, racing

Against the clock

 –

Tick tock

Tick tack

Dodging borders

Ignore another flashback

 –

Tick tack

Tick tock

Climbing, falling

Breaking the next lock

 –

Tick tock

Tick tack

Searching answers

Before the world turns black

 –

Tick tack

Tick tock

Until Death whispers:

‘Time is up’

Quotes for today: Suicide prevention

 

If you are thinking about committing suicide or you know someone who is suicidal, don’t hesitate! Talk!

TALK! People can’t read your mind, you have to talk about it!

No.

It isn’t over until it’s over. You can always make a change. You always have a choice.

I know, I’ve been there.

You are a warrior. FIGHT!

You are. You matter.

True. And that’s a slow, painful death.

 But I know, no one cares right?

There is always someone who cares. There is always someone who needs you in this world!

Yes you can! Get help, TALK! Keep fighting!

I am here. I will listen.

Just do. Don’t turn your back on someone who needs you.

Be aware! Look out for the signs!

Don’t Judge, Just Care.

Take the badge, stand up and speak up!

Lots of Love,

Patty

Hush…

–

Hush, my darling

Don’t say a thing

Just listen to my voice

When your heart is breaking

–

Hush, my darling

Please, do not fade

My body is away now

But my love for you stayed

–

Hush, my darling

Don’t you cry

You can see me looking down

When you look at the sky

–

Hush, my darling

Do not despair

Even though I am gone

And life is unfair

–

Hush, my darling

Don’t be hurt so deeply

My pain is over now

And my spirit is finally free

–

Hush now, my darling

Please, do not hide

My soul will always and forever be

right by your side…

Reaching from the other side

–

I stare in the distance

Searching

Waiting

For your return

A promise made

Sealed by the softest kiss

And just as volatile

– 

Clandestine

Crestfallen

I walked so long

To find your warm

Diaphanous touch

What came to pass

Betwixt our dreams?

 –

I hope to see a glimpse

Of passion

Affection

In your eyes

An undeniable love

Pleaded with fire

And just as destructive

 –

Ignited paroxysm

Seeks lost intervals,

I stand

Beside falling passion,

Sense me here!

Folding beneath

Your searching eyes

 –

I pray for one last day

Embraced

Without haste

In your arms

A safe and gentle place

Like a fairytale

And just as untrue

 –

Connects consume

The frailty of day,

Is your grasp

An illusion?

In your arms I slip

away, a phantom

Nevermore to stay

Poetry: Let’s Pretend…

Let’s pretend

–

Let’s pretend

That my tears stopped falling

And you would come when I’m calling

So my soul can stop bleeding

–

Let’s pretend

Just for a moment

That times are still pleasant

And I can feel your embracement

–

Let’s pretend

That my heart was never fractured

My calls didn’t stay unanswered

And my hope never got shattered

–

Let’s pretend

You are still with me

Living free and happily

Enjoying life in all its beauty

–

Let’s pretend

Just for a little while

That I am still able to smile

And fate didn’t beguile

–

Let’s pretend

We never had to say goodbye

That it was all a nightmare and a lie

Let’s just pretend…

 

That you did not die

A dark Haiku for today

In loving memory of Ajay

 

Ajay Mody {Ajaytao}

‘It is with heavy heart and deep sadness that we mourn the passing away of Ajay Mody, also known as Ajaytao, blogger of “Ajaytao2010” and the “Ajaytao Botanical Photography” blogs. He left this world on the 10th August 2014 after a short illness at his home in Mumbai, India.‘

I stare at the screen in shock while I read these words on the blog of my friend Vijay.

Our dear friend Ajay, gone…

I cannot believe this, the world has lost an angel. A pure, white rose.

Dear Ajay, my sweet friend, this is for you. Know that I will always carry you in my heart. You will be missed. Thank you for all the love and kindness you showed me and many others. I am blessed that I have met you. ❤

A beautiful white rose

Honest and sincere

Soft pedestals of kindness

Touching hearts, far or near

 –

A perfect white rose

Sweet and loving

Embracing with warmth

Always there, always caring

 –

A pure white rose

Spreading love, shining bright

To all those around

A beacon of light

 –

Goodbye my dear friend

Until we meet again

Lots of love

Patty
