If That May Have Been A Time In-Between



Sweet Violet light
with gentle scent
wherever you went
I did go
wherever you walked
along so slowly
there in the dell
beneath the trees
was the whisper of love
and the song of the breeze.
There in the shade
of the forest glade
we played
with love at midday
and who is to say
that that was the place
that I wondered if
I would scatter your ashes
if you follow my drift.
If that was a place
in the cold of winter
where warmth became us
and there was none of the splintering
that followed on after,
just mist and colour
and some good fun laughter.

Along we go
and who is to know
if that may have been
a time in between
where love and shade
and sunshine and clouds
have passed over from heaven
and come to me now
as a remembrance of winter
and love in the mist
of the first time I felt
and enjoyed your kiss,
of the heart of the centre
and the beginning to end
when we became less spontaneous
and faith blew in the wind,
as there came the spring
and the summer season dried
all that we knew
and then left behind.
Oh come to the violets,
oh come to the times
when love began on the cold winters night
and times they changed from then onto then
and let’s let go
and begin again….

Pink Love Sharing

Pink Lake In Summertime


I love him to death, I do,
he is my rock it’s true.
As further along we travel this road,
we do and will, share our load.
Through hills and valleys, lakes and pools
we go together as a rule,
we do our best to harmonize
and live with purpose through this life.

And you may wonder why it’s so
that there are times
when the flow, is just a trickle
and you are weary
keep on going little one
you’ll find the peace
and enjoy sunshine,
it is not that you must ‘toe a line’,
it is that you must ’let it go’
and bring yourself emotionally
to swim the ocean, swim the seas
and rest each day knowingly
that you are loved
and so is he.

Love never dies and here you are
together sharing warm love around
there is enough
and you are safe
please sit with that my little girl
and come to hum
and sweetly ‘twirl’
bring yourself to quietly sit
and share your warmth all around
you are blessed bountifully
know that truth and be free.

Let the waters, ebb and flow
you are guided wherever you go.
You will turn the corner and there you’ll see
the grassy steps up to be free.

I Loved You My Love.

I Loved You My Love

Lyrics by B Porteous

Thanks for the gold coins
white daisies and ruby ring
when you gave them from heaven
they meant everything.
You said ‘forgive me my transgressions
be they big or just small,
when I looked back from here
I just saw it all’


Chorus:
I saw your sadness
the pain in your heart,
I saw my sorrow and loss
and it’s too late to start.
But you came to heaven
to see how I was
and you know now I loved you
I loved you because.


Life passes so quickly
in a skip and a hop
and then one day
with a heart-stop
I dropped.
I left your world
though you held me within,
I left you My Love
so you could begin.
Begin your life
find a love you can trust
and shine your smile
forever on by
for I am gone now My Love
it was my time to die.




Repeat chorus:
I saw your sadness
the pain of your heart
I saw my sorrow and loss
and it’s too late to start.
But you came to heaven
to see how I was
and you know now
I loved you My Love
I loved you because.

Grieving Is Like Leaving.........

Love In The Mist


Nine years ago today I read your eulogy
and then went into another room
to share a cup of tea.

And all the time along the way
I thought my grief would heal one day,
but although there are shifts and better times,
my heart just circles back to you
and faith helps me to carry through
all these years, occasional visitations,
but always, never another friend like you.

Five years ago you took me to heaven
to show me around,
you said you were sorry for your transgressions
be they big, or small,
and we healed so much
and I came back to continue along
healing myself and to write you a song.

This song with lovely lyrics,
I said I would share one day
and I continued writing in other ways.

But now I feel that cycle ends.
I must be present in my life.
I must heal the fractures,
be less vulnerable,
express myself from my heart
and begin again with a new start.

So as promised
and to continue Pink Love Shining
I will share those lyrical lines
knowing now that I’ve healed in time.
And as always
grieving, is like leaving
never going to arrive
until you do,
you do survive,
as the only way is working through,
casting off until there’s you
now knowing you as you do.
