Are you ready to choose some syllables to use in your syllabic poetry this week? Ruth, from RuthKlein’s Scribbles, selected your two words:
I chose to write an ETHEREE this week, my synonyms for Family are Clans and relations, and for peace, Tranquility and war free.
Family & Peace.(Synonyms)
We Bluster And bemoan The shortcomings Of extended clans While calming the waters Others raise fires with their fans. Will things come to a bloody pass? Or tranquility encompass us? And so relations we will be, war free.
Just a little explanatory word. I wrote this poem one afternoon June, 2013, I do not know where it came from I just wrote it. It is about a person dying peacefully of some disease it could be one of many. I do not know if any of my lost friends have passed this way but I wish they could of died peacefully like this . I wish death could of been gentle for them and for all of us………..
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances, it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
Bees around the flowers buzzing gently, no thought of stinging.
Children are playing along the road, they must be home from school.
Time, time is my enemy always too fast, too slow never anybody’s fool.
I feel rested in the sun, relaxed maybe this is a new journey I have begun
Nothing to worry about anymore, nothing to rush for, nothing to come.
Gently things begin to fade, is this it or is just that I am lying in the shade
No I can no longer move , here comes the silent peace I crave.
I am happy that there will be no more treatment or pain
I am sorry for those who I love that will have to remain.
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
I hope they will not think me selfish, I could really fight no more
Here comes death to claim me and I feel safe as he leads me to his door.
Peace, peace no pain, no needles no scans no tired smile
I am going now, I love you all and I shall be here but not seen, loving you all the while.

“Peace”Shouted the Big Man “Someone stop them just for an hour”St.Pete made him a drink and said “relax.” Azrael had an idea. Later, utter silence. All was good but then the masses were all holding up coloured speech cards. “Get me a blindfold” the Big Man cried. Satan laughed. (278 Characters)
I have decided to post Peace in the valley by The Alabama 3. The song is about what drugs do to you, a lot of their songs are. This one says to me that there comes a point in an addicts life when death is the only way that they can get peace. This is an honest, sad but to the point song. The words are raw I warn now.
My eldest son introduced me to the Alabama 3. some years ago and I am now a firm fan. Alabama 3 despite their name, style, accents and looks are lads from Brixton London! Read about them here.
For the video I have picked the slower version so you can hear the words.
For whatever reason you refuse to feel this space we’re in
To know it’s insanity, really know it Whatever your particular anaesthetic is, that you hold onto so desperately The thing I mean that makes you think you know who you are Whatever that thing is that you allow to keep you sane Your ace in your hole The psyche that keeps you from trying to guess what your pimp has in store for you Whatever keeps you from screaming out at this very moment in absolute and sheer horror Whatever you fuck your brain with, whatever that is Whatever that is It’s a lie It’s a lie. “
She spends too much time with herself every night Just fooling around with her fears In the morning she mourns the decline of her mind Drowning in a bottle of beer It’s too dangerous just to think about what she might have been If she’d sung for salvation, if she’d danced on her dreams
But there’s gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow Cause tonight she’s gonna blow it all away Lord, she feels so twisted, She ain’t ever gonna fix it She’s just waiting for the light to shine on a brand new day
An’ he don’t know if he’s a communist, a hedonist or a whore Spent too much time ridin’ on a white line to find the door An’ if he did and he opened it, he’d find those letters in the hall But he’s too blind to read between the lines Cos’ the writings on the wall
There’s gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow Cause tonight he’s gonna blow it all away Lord, he feels so twisted, he ain’t ever gonna fix it He’s just waiting for the light to shine on a brand new day
(Let that light shine awhile
Grand old oprie lights are on, Hank Williams on the juke box, we all comin’ home tonight
I’ll tell you dear…)
I got Ecstasy, but I need some company You got that mystery; Lord I need a plan All I got is a compromise and a bag full of alibis Lord, as empty as the bottle of whiskey in my shaking hands
There’s gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow Cause tonight we’re gonna blow it all away Lord we feel so twisted, we ain’t ever gonna fix it We’re just waiting for the light to shine on a brand new day
(One more time for the people)
There’s gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow Cause tonight, we’re gonna blow it all away You know we feel so fuckin’ twisted, we ain’t ever gonna fix it We’re just waiting for the light to shine on a brand new day. (x3)
This week for our Thursday Photo Prompt from Sue Vincent of Daily Echo we have this beautiful photo of a bed and pillow made from a tree trunk. It is so beautiful and I have chosen to write a poem this week. I have added a few photos to illustrate my poem I hope this is allowable Sue? Rules and Pingback Here
Peace before another day has begun.
Two feet and four paws move in tandem
This path is ours we know it well
Fate has us together yet it is not random
Two feet, four paws breaking the dawn’s spell.
Gently we cross the fields of green
Four paws faster than two feet
In the early morning quiet we are seen
Together and happy we are complete.
A picture of the hubby walking Ruby. Why not a photo of me ….. Because I was walking her and there was no one to take a photo of Ruby and me at 6.30 am!
