NightDay

Walking in the morning dew

Sleepwalking through the earthquake drill

Listening to the birds as they take flight

Stopping the TV falling in the night

The ducks quack, one flies in the sky

Even though the ground shakes, I don't open my eyes

The dog leads the way, following the ground

Somehow I know what to do, even without light or sound

A fresh day is upon me

A night's sleep interrupted

Cold air, warm sun

Dizzy, so tired

Take a deep breath and welcome the new day

Close your eyes, back to sleep and let the memory go away

fame

To fame they climb,
A rocket-fuelled ride,
Standing by each other’s side.

Eyes are blinkered,
Ears are blocked.
When one makes a move,
The other looks shot.

Who earns the money?
Who gets the fame?
And when it all goes wrong,
Who is to blame?

Behind the curtains,
Behind the scenes,
If only all of it could mean
Something concrete,
Something sure.
There is no love,
This isn’t pure

No stepping forward.
No stepping back.
Stuck in a time warp,
Staring at my lap.

What to do?
What to say?
All I can do is step away....

you

looking forward
never behind

you can see this love
behind my eyes

this love lies deep
and from deep below
rushes to your heart
emotions overflow

there is no end
there is just this

the fountain of love
pours out the magic kiss

Love hurts

Love hurts,
Love tickles,
Love causes agonising pain.


Love smiles so much
Just to see your face again.


Love aches and breaks
Each fragile little heart.
Love takes away the hurt
When we have to be apart.


Love me now and Love me then.
Let love come tomorrow
And again and again.

It broke my heart to see you go,

It broke my heart to see you go,

Your death so slow

And so unnecessary still.

The knife so sharp

It felt like me being stabbed in the heart

And all I could do was look on.

They wanted your money

They wanted your watch

And you were so defensive.

I'd give so much more

Just to hold your hand.

Oh, I wish those kids could understand

What they have done to me

With their greed

And their incessant need

For power on the street.

I have to fight without you

But to my word I stay true,

I can't wait till we once again meet.

Destiny?

The eyes
The mind
The heart
The soul.

Where do you want to be?
What is your goal?


Who do you want to see?
Or do you just want to hide?

Do you believe in fate or destiny?
Because sometimes we cannot see what is meant to be.


Tread carefully now,
Filling each step somehow
With pride and satisfaction.


Who knows the end?
Just wait and see,

But make sure you enjoy the action!

Adoration

I find the need to be adored
By men and women alike.

But how can the flattery
Change the reality?

Somehow it does
And it makes me smile.

To know that you're loved feels great.
To be wanted and needed is something special.

So, when I find myself alone longing attentions from another,
I can understand where the cravings come from.

To hear my name in the night,
Or even just a call on the phone
Makes me feel special
And happy knowing I'm not really on my own.

© Leonora Sophie

What was it? What is it?

Was it a change for the better

Or simply the worse?

Have I just been prolonging the reality

And made it a curse?

It was once an adventure,

Is it still the same?

I have to ask myself

Does the same fun remain?

A change of scenery,

A new light,

Should allow the perspective

And tell me what is right,

Or at least show me the way to go,

Because right now, I do not know.

So, I board my plane

And take my flight

On my journey

Through the night.

A new day awaits,

A new horizon through new gates

And a chance to see up ahead, as well as behind

And a chance to reason with my own rhythm and rhyme.

WWS

Candy floss clouds

With marshmallow pillows.

Mummy singing out loud

To her baby Willow.

Twinkle Twinkle

The stars are shining brightly

Mummy is so proud of her boy

Willow Whitely.

Just look at his picture

To all he shall appeal,

This adorable little baby

named Willow Whitely Steel.

Hush little baby,

Just lie and sleep.

I hope you have the sweetest dreams

In your sleep so deep.

This Love

This Love

Having climbed to the summit,

You're tired, but not alone.

You have achieved the hardest part.

At the start it was only you, at the top, there are two.

You can look around and best yet, you can see below.

You can see how far you have come, but more so, how far you're both gonna go.

You have made an achievement.

You have so many more to make too,

But that is going to be easy, for there is him and there is you.

This love is like a mountain,

So daunting and so huge,

But once you had started, there was absolutely nothing to lose.

Sharing an adventure,

Treading on unfamiliar paths,

Afraid of nothing else,

Other than to not make each other laugh.

Now, nothing is impossible as you stand hand in hand,

And on this day together proclaim your love to the land.

The music blaring out loud,

The music blaring out loud,

No fears among the crowd,

Flapping and dancing to the beat.

The energy's electric,

She's on fire

As she taps her feet to the beat.

Funky vibes take over

Her mind, body and soul.

Where's the party?

It's in her,

whether alone or with friends.

The beat goes on in her mind;

Feet tapping,

Hands clapping,

The fun never ends.

My Friend

My Friend

Wanting the world

Meant sacrificing her heart.

But for her it was a small price to pay.

She gave him her all,

But at a price -

Away from her friends she strayed.

Love conquers all in her mind,

And she's not alone in that thought.

But it is friends who stand by you when it rains.

But in the downpour,

Who is there?

Who cares?

We all do.

Together we'll find shelter from the pain.
