My love is total.
My heart is pure.
But I get hurt easy,
Though my love is sure...

Art

Museum Art of the Day: MOCA’s “Art in the Streets” — the first major US museum exhibition dedicated to street art — opens to the public this Sunday, and will remain open through August 8.
Among the familiar pieces stretching all the way back to the dawn of graffiti-based vandalism are new and original pieces from the likes of Os Gemeos and Banksy (above).
My Modern Met took some photos during yesterday’s press opening which you can see here.
I'm an atheist but like most atheists I love religious art. This is beautiful :-)

Sleep My Love
Sleep my love,
And dream of me.
For I shall sleep,
And dream of thee.
Lay your head,
Upon my chest,
And I'll protect you,
As you rest.
Sleep my love,
In my embrace.
And we shall stay,
In this warm place.
Sleep my love,
And dream of me.
For I shall sleep,
And dream of thee...

A Mum
What's a Mum?
A Cook
A Carer
A Teacher
A Bringer Of Hugs
A Protector
A Counsellor
An Advisor
A Cleaner
A Comedian
A Storyteller

A shoulder on which to cry
Our Rock.

She's there in our hearts.
We still talk to her.
We miss her.
We still love her.
She'll always be Mum.
So she's never really gone.

Dandy
Who's the Dandy in the hat,
Baggy trouser suit,
And dandy spats?
Wheres the Dandy gone right now?
Is he at home,
Or on the prowl?
Come on all Dandies in funny hats!
Come out into the broad daylight
And show us your fancy spats...
Cut Away
A small knife.
A lancet.
A tiny blade to prick a finger;
To rip skin;
To let crimson blood flow.
A primal urge.
More pain to cover pain.
Rivulets of dark red.
The colour of life;
The transporter of oxygen.
Why cut?
Why not?
An uncontrollable force,
Within me.
Driving the lancet home.
Tearing, splitting...
Why can't I stop?

Hold me
Too Far
You're words lull us,
Into a false sense of security.
You make sure,
That you soothe our souls.
Then you dig.
You twist the words,
To make the true seem false,
And the false seem true.
You undermine any confidence,
We may have had.
You attack our work,
Try to block it from others.
But you take it too far,
When you attack a relationship,
However subtly you do it.
Time to concentrate on yourself.
Time to live your life,
And stop trying to make anothers life hell.
Did they do anything to upset you?
No!
So why do you think,
That you have the right to interfere?
It's time for it to end.
Time for the prodding,
Undermining, nasty business to stop.
Just leave us alone,
Before you cause something that you may regret...

Little People
The Little People,
Don't run away.
When things go wrong,
They always stay.
The Little People,
Like their food.
And all kinds of things,
When they're in the mood.
The Little People,
Like to sing.
Their favourite song,
Is "My Ding-A-Ling"
The Little People,
Like to sleep.
And if they can't,
They all count sheep.

What a Lot of Nonsense!
No sense is nonsense,
Not sensical either.
The words come out sdrawkcab,
And frontwards but neither.
All is so jumbuled,
And scrumbuled outside,
That the pogscroodling hornswaggle,
Is left by the side.
_______________________________
Squiggly Piggy in the middle,
Squadgy Podgy up the flue.
Silly Billy down the centre,
Gobble Wobble follows too...
_______________________________
In the dark of the night,
With no moon to give light,
The Scrimblings come out to play.
They flitter about,
With no noise or a shout,
The Scrimblings go on their way.
They are small and quite round,
No legs can be found.
The Scrimblings don't need to wear shoes.
Their wings are quite small,
But they do have a ball,
When their Scrimblets are watching the news.
At the end of the night,
And after a fight,
The Scrimblings fly home to their nests.
Then during the day,
They doze in the hay,
While the Scrimbmales are washing their vests!

The Pogscroodler's Ball
Are you feeling sort of lonely?
Are you feeling kind of blue?
Do you want to go a-dancing,
Around a floor or two?
Come on into the ballroom!
Come one and then come all!
Proclaim the dance night coming!
Cheer for The Pogscroodler's Ball!
All of you who pogscroodle,
Or have pogscroodled once or twice,
Come with all your finery,
Come even if you look quite nice.
All ye merry pogscroodlers,
And all ye merry gerplonks.
Come within the dancing house,
Before the band rezonks!
Dance away pogscroodlers.
Dance all night ye monks.
Dance until your toes fall off,
And your legs make some kersplonks!
Celebrate pogscroodling,
Celebrate the time.
Cheer at the band who play for you,
To make the Pogscroodler's Ball sublime.

The Henge
Twas windy,
The stones stood straight,
The rain did fall
But the stones stood firm
The sun did shine
And the stones were warmed
Then something magical
To heal the World
The stones spoke
But did we listen?
