Not today

In my darkest days when things felt grim

I saw you standing as light grew dim

In my darkest days when I tried to figure

If it was good to pull the trigger

I couldn’t understand my life

I didn’t know why life was strife

I ached and grinded through the pain

Are my thoughts so totally vain

Can I still look and see a dream

of a world that’s bright and clean

and a river to wash away

all the poisons of today

Darkness creeps over me

I know my fellow man should be free

Not banged up in some useless hole

A prison for the dying soul

I live in hope but not in greed that my

Soul will soon be free

That the dark will go away

And kill the madness gone astray

Who is there to trust but you

For so many have not a clue

Of the plan to curb our lust and to turn us to

a speck of dust

I walked alone but where I went I

Knew that each time I spent

It would take me

Close to the truth the one that said

Don’t take my roof

Each time we doubt and turn away

And shut out the light of the day

Each time we neglect to hear

Brings more and more fear

I thought the fear had gone away

But it haunts my dreams today

The dreams of hope that I once enjoyed 

now make me mad, cross annoyed

FEELINGS DASHED

Ask me a date and I do not know

Ask me a time and I will show

Feel in your heart what’s right and do it

Trust your feelings and begin to intuit

Don't jump in with two left feet because

You can't walk both sides of the street

Give me a shoulder on which to cry but

Don't pretend and please don't lie

Give me a hug but don't hold to tight

I might still want you in the middle of the night

Send me a message but don’t let me think

that love is definitely on the brink

Counting your blessings is a positive act

But behaviour is always worth of tact

Lack of communication is akin to hurt

People pretend and people flirt

If you know where you are going

There’s no -where to hide

The truth is always on your side

Life is a mystery of ups and downs

Say what you mean if you feel a clown

Even if you wear your heart on your sleeve

It is better to say and feel yourself grieve

Because what may be lost was potentially good

The other person sadly misunderstood

Twin Souls Unmasked

Unmask me I am a cat

I’d like to purr as simple as that

Unmask me I am a clown

I make jokes that cause people

to frown

Unmask me and see my truth

The one that’s been blowing my

Newly made roof

The knowing the seeing the feeling

So real

The part of me that took so long to heal

Unmask me and see me bare

Take your fingers through my hair

Taste me, lie with me and know

That I care

Stay with me and hold me in the night air

Listen to my heart beat and experience our truth

Unmask me

Unmask me

I am no longer aloof

Know me and grow with me like souls entwined

Share with me, care with me

And see what we find.

Survival by Jennifer Lynch

Lies

I don’t want to see the lying eyes of politicians as

They plant their spies to divide us like pieces of a cake

Saving the largest piece for them

There are no sides only the ones they force upon us to

Distracting us from the truth

Yet still they continue to manipulate

Lining the pockets of the filthy rich

And do nothing about the bankers robbing their

Own banks with bonuses which far exceed the imagination

Of pensioners not able to cover their heating bills

Those familiar names of a few families we hear over and over

We know the world is run by a handful of men -the dirty dozen

Who hold all the cards in this vast monopoly game of life

Investigations stopped by the military for daring to get close to truth

Mocking us as they absurdly think that we believe their

Lies – they insult our intelligence

All is blamed on terrorist groups as military bases are secured

And people are thrown into jails with no trail held suspected of crimes

But no hard core evidence but the core that lays under

Their feet as they pace up and down in the scorching heat  

Like circus animals and we call ourselves human

I name no names because in doing so this won’t be read

As people soon have distaste for the truth when it comes to being

Loyal to their country

Preferring to remain patriotic

What is this war on terror does it exist

Or is it another means to

Control the population with an agenda reaching the far corners

Of the earth

Hadn’t you noticed the new geographical political map

As our earth begins to shudder on her axis

Little by little our human rights diminish as another amendment

is introduced in a fashion that only a expert lawyer could understand

There were no complaints

No-one understood it

But it smelt

It felt as dirty as the toxic waterways polluted with heavy

Metals

The waters not safe to drink

Lung diseases increase leaving this earth seeing a familiar pattern

We stare up on a summer’s day and won’t admit to chem trails

Where engineers were told not to service their planes because on

Certain days someone else was doing some special kind of service

One where another person dies of lung disease

Poem of The Day by Jennifer Lynch

PURPLE HEARTS

My soul has rendered a purple star

With thoughts of you that drift afar

The beauty of love

The whisp of rain

Has drunk my thirst

To rise in vain

Alas my spirit’s nearly gone

I hear your voice in every song

I see your face in every tree

Why can’t love just follow me?

And though I’m decked with rage and pain

I still hope that we’ll meet again

A purple heart with a pink surround

Can unconditional love be found?

RUNNING WATER by Jennifer Lynch

Once there was a river it was made from mud.

It stole the hearts from men it dried and looked like blood.

It was all that was left of many years of pain

Distilled by our dreams, a wound to heal again.

I could feel a rush of anger in my throat,

I would need some water on which to sail my boat.

There would be a measure, the distance between the cracks,

divided amongst the thirsty a flask held on our backs.

There would never be enough, so many miles to walk

A life to be saved, a lesson to be taught.

I don’t remember the way it used to taste

Was it clear from anger without the toxic waste

Did it bubble slowly or gush from a stream

Was it clean and healthy, Earth’s forgotten dream?

Did we turn it on and off, a tap, a pump, a well.

Did we pay the price, was water cleaned to sell?

Will divine intervention help us fill our pail?

Could we flood a valley?

With tears we could not fail

DANCE by Jennifer Lynch

  

    Softly stepping in time with the music 
touching that inner space
Eyes meeting eyes reflecting moments
synchronised across the face
Moving swaying hypnotizing
trusting staying with what's real
Depths of passion for the music
learning just how to feel
Retraining what we knew already
deep in our soul before we lost
The earth's melodies of knowing
keeping time at any cost
Ballet to salsa, urban rhythms
they made us what we are
For in each turn we are reaching
For in each turn we are travelling far
In a sense in each direction 
sits the essence of our soul
A subtle beat in the moonlight
A fire's embers on the coal
Light up the dance with new found
passion you are the master of the dance
You decide which way to take it
In a haze or in a trance
Merging but individual
In how deep it resonates 
Bold and vibrant colours seeking 
where dance does not hesitate

Jennifer Lynch
