Poem May 31st 2015

Cold Fever
Feeling like;
I am living inside a rude ice cube.
Burning up in cold;
shivering shaking;
body quaking.
Barely able to write;
also feeling like a kite.
Good day and good night!

Poem May 30th 2015

Right and Wrong
Right and wrong are flavours;  
that leave an aftertaste; 
on the consciousnes, and soul
of people.

Wanting
Sat on luggage;
staring out into space.
Wanting to be;
at another place.

Poem May 28th 2015

Thought
We all need time;
to realize;
that we have good and bad inside.
Every decision we make;
no matter, what we contemplate;
will have good, and bad consequences;
for ourselves, and others.
Whatever we may choose;
think it through:
refuse to be rushed.
That way you can carefully decide.

Lost in my Fog
Lost in my inner fog; 
pulled torn by sadness; 
uncertain unclear.
I’ve got to trust myself;
find my way
back into the day.

FEATS Fringe 2015
Laughter quakes;
chairs shake;
audience great!
Had a lot of fun.
Unfortunately FEATS fringe 
for this year is done.
See you at the next one;
in Brussels.

Healing 3
To heal is to reveal what is concealed;
help it to lose its appeal,
and send it away,
so you can be free to be happy,
and at ease.

Poem May 23rd 2015

Remembering 2
Remembering in a positive way;
brings a longing;
for people, places, and times;
when you felt wanted, loved or desired.
A happiness of being alive;
glowing inside;
which you miss terribly
when it is not there.
Feels hard to survive,
and carry on;
when you believe your love,
and your hope are gone.
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)May 2015

Poem May 22nd 2015

Waiting For the Bus
People staggered; 
along the side; 
waiting for the bus to arrive.  
Sort of a line up; 
a smattering of mumbling;
grumbling;    
the occasional loud stomach rumbling.
Some people fumbling;
to find their tickets; 
playing games or sending messages to kill time; 
until our ride arrives.

Poem May 21st 2015

Umbrella Tree 3
Umbrella tree excessively pruned;
I hope it has not been ruined.
It makes me sad; seeing it this way.
I miss seeing the lovey leaves;
that embrace you;
when you stand beneath.
it is more than a retreat.
A welcoming feeling;
when you stand  there.
An oasis of calm;
no matter what is going on.
It is a place, I love to be.
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)May 2015

Poem May 20th 2015

Word’s Long Reach
Words have weight;
whatever we now might think, feel
or contemplate.
What we have written;
can cause others
to react to it.
Now, and in the future;
in ways we can not anticipate.
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)May 2015

Surprised Lines 
Scuttled syllables;   
suddenly spliced together;   
instead of your lines;  
everyone laughs, and smiles.

Poem May 13th 2015

The Bumbling Bee
Bee bumbling;
along floor of the bus;
unsure if it can fly.
Some people carefully took it up,
and put it outside.
With time it was able to fly.
Buzzed past as if saying thank you,
and goodbye.

It is an act of love;

in the body; 
ensuring freedom of movement again.

Tonight
A walk tonight; 
wasn’t enough for me.
My blood sugar was still too high.
So I went dancing;  
it makes me feel free, 
and happy. 
Now I am sleepy!
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)May 2015

Poem May 9th 2015

Feelings
To feel,
reveals that you are moved;
or touched in a way
that reaches you.
The face, lips, and mouth show.
Eyes reflect the most;
then you know;
words are not needed.

pain not easily going away.
Try to enjoy the weather anyway!

Watching rain drops

Poem May 4th 2015

Try to be Occupied
Still sick;
can’t rest,
can’t sleep,
might as well write;
that way I have a productive night.
A good distraction
against the pain
until it surges again.

Migraine 1 My Day 0
Today’s been a day;
filled with a lot of pain.
Felt as if a railway train
driving through my brain.
Went to the doc;
told me I’ve got a migraine.
When will it go away? I ask;
it takes time, pain killers, and rest.
Go home stay in bed is best.
it definitely is one of those days
Be happy, when it is gone away.
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)Apr 2015

Poem Apr 28th 2015

The Combination
Had a bad headache;
went out for a walk.
Did not pay attention,
got lost.
Blood sugar dived; 
hauled out some food;
devoured it,
feeling good.
Now know where I am;
heading  back to my neighbourhood.

Busy

feeling like a cloud,
being pushed by a gale.
