Upper Room

I built a moat around myself

so that you can't take me by surprise

if you turn up I have time to prepare

for  battle or to escape

If you try to swim across beware

of the crocs for they protect me 

jealously and if you don't 'smell' right

they will know before I do

the draw bridge will not crush you

unless it detects a sinister intent

so you better be bold or plain genuine

if you do make it to the door

..... then the rest is up to me

please don't expect too much

too soon though

as my generous heart is cautious

and can take no more chances

it now knows it is worthy of nothing

but all things rich and pure

and I guard it ferociously so 

please only apply within

my meekness is my strength

another sacrifice to great end

I honour me and I honour you in saying so

for I am the richest woman you will ever know

with more than any pretentious dollar value

I afford myself the luxury of careful selection

never again throwing my pearls to swine

Love is not love unless it is reflected back

shared and added to

so I will never accept anything 

that does not want to be given

I establish a foundation
so unshakable 

that it can handle the storms

~Ange x

as easily as the raucous parties of life

I pray the storms are few

and the parties are numerous

reckless abandon can only be fully 

enjoyed if properly accommodated

for you will be my home

just as I your shelter

and so, I suppose, it does just come down to this.....the simplest desire to ROCK the planet in connection with another....maybe I am human after all dear friends! ;)   No comments please! xoxoxo

*convoluted, she saluted a way forward through the wastelands*

for Britt Lapthorne and her family

Britt Lapthorne was a beautiful young lady living her dreams and looking forward to a bright future. She was effervescent and excited about life and, by all accounts, gave so much of herself. It is unspeakably tragic to know that she has had her brief  life snatched away!!  It is in these moments that we think of our loved ones and 'absent friends' and ponder the meaning of life. Our hearts overflow with sadness and sympathy for those left behind, and indeed, our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to Britt's family, friends and all who encountered her vitality and enthusiasm. I did not have the privelege, but I relate to the spark this young lady had for life, and the love she showed so many. I dedicate this to Britt and her family and all those out there crippled under the weight of grief and tragedy. My prayer is that we edge closer everyday to illuminating the world in a way that rids it of the darkness that robs us so frequently. That task, my friends, falls firmly at our feet when we climb out of bed in the morning. Wanna be a world changer? Awesome, let's go for IT & do our bit!!! xoxoxox and yes....aku sayang kamu my lovelies!! 

beautiful lady

swept along in lifes' day

that echoed the promise

of dreams as she lay

under the foreign sky

knowing it was shared

pondering it's meaning

at the sparkle she stared

she thought of  a future

set before her a spree

infused with such passion

so whimsical and free

Ambrosial

she can feel spring

not just in the air but

in her limbs

a deep breath

signals the start of

boundless energy

for within her fibres

lurk bouncing merkels

sparking for the ambrosial embrace 

of love

Yes! anticipating

a time yearned by many

they are not alone

in their sweet pursuit

for the kaelideoscope

in that mystical mind

no need to check twice

for the owner already knows

her way around the

vast corridors of

countless abandoned buildings

*she strolls politely through the recesses of his mind to gather some delicacies for later *

Something New

Ok, so this tune was 'born' in 2003 through some interesting times that killed off my inspiration. The good news is...it's come to life AGAIN and so now.....here is the finished (well, kind of...) version. A few melodies have been hashed out and I'm writing a bridge atm....but you get the idea! Tis a LURVE song I suppose......hope u likey!  =) 

Verse 1

Sands shifting & the Earth shakes
I look at my life in your face
I'll never stop 'til my heart's safe
And you're there loving me still
Can you think of a time or place
That you found yourself without a page..
The trees whispered something new
That you were too lost to hear

CHORUS

I'm sorry to confuse you 
But I don't want to lose you
The old story I can't undo 
So I do try to make a path

For all the days of tears
Working through my fears
I can tell you now that I want you
So I guess I'll make a path

Verse 2
Money can't change anything
If you've got nothing to give
And love can choose everything 
When there's a vision through which to live
Many times I tried to see
That future plans could work for me
But I suppose they know a thing or two
About my hidden dreams

CHORUS

So I'm sorry to confuse you
But I don't want to lose you
The old story  I can't undo
So I'll try to make a path

For all the days of tears
Working through my fears
I can tell you now that I want you
So I choose to make a path.

Wait & See

Kindness is golden 
When the separation sways
You into submission 
And the lowliest of days
It's tough to see the reason
Why the tears are in my eyes
Though the pain I feel gives
Power to the fear I can't diguise

It sounds too hard that's for sure
To make you understand me more
It feels too tough when we cry
To help us find the answers why
But I'll forever love you wait and see
You'll always be the one for me

Collapsing the sky
surrounds my feet
The estimations are lonely
When my emotions retreat
It's difficult to see the reason
Why my soul won't claim
The peace and the fullness 
Of the One that stays the same

It sounds too hard that's for sure
To make you understand me more
It's feels too tough when we cry 
To help us find the answers why
But I'll forever love you wait and see
You'll always be the one for me

Cold hearts surrender
When there's so much to gain
Yet the friction may test me
to see if I'll remain
It's tough to see the reason
Why you don't talk so loud
I can barely hear you
But maybe I'm too proud

It sounds too hard that's for sure
To make you understand me more
It feels too tough when we cry
To help us find the answers why
But I'll always love you wait and see
You'll always be the one for me.
