Anchor me to a rock
For here I wish to stay.
On an island
Seclusion is for me.
From early morn
To late at night.
My view is of the bay
Enchanting is the scene
Paradise I found
Is here.
To the west of the isle
Calgary bay
White sands
And the
Atlantic Ocean
Here I can play.
Saturday morn
Shopping on main street
Quiet is the scene
As the bay opposite
Can testify
The wee boats
Moored - sleeping.
No hectic pace of life
Nor angry voices of in-patience
These things I shall not miss
For life is precious
And here I can live.
So anchor me
To a rock
Solid in foundation
As my Aquarian status
Depicts
Water all around
Now you can leave
For I have found
成人快手 is here
On an isle called 'Mull'.

How wonderful is the night sky
As you unfold
Your mystique charms
Winter nights with stars so bright
Dark and mysterious
Yet have no fear.
Hilltops in the distance
Darkened by your presence
Salute your every being
No clouds in sky
Just your enchanting display
As I gaze up in awe
At such a charming foray.
Will you be here tomorrow?
I ask of you please
Your radiance a joy to behold
Like a partner of heart
Never to be found
Seek from knowledge
Will I find out?
The truth
Perhaps I will never
Know why
Only you see me
From the sky
As I sit alone
Quiet is the night
As you unfold
Your mystical
Charms.

Where are you from?
I wonder
As I gaze upon
Your mangled sight.
Washed ashore
On rocks
So harsh
Even the pain
Of neglect
You must endure.
Did you travel
The oceans so vast
Or perhaps only
A wee local
Cast adrift.
Whatever your origins
A tale I'm sure
You can tell
As you soak up
The midday sun
On our rocky shore
May you stay a while
And enjoy
This wee isle
We call 'Mull'.

~ Aroma by Candle Light ~

As the curtain and doors
Now closed in your room
Escape to the seclusion
Here within your book.
Fire now lit
To keep out the cold
Curled up on a sofa
Now you lay
Book in hand
And here you stay.
Candles flicker
Throughout the room
Shapes of many in size
As if dancing in unison
They are at your command.
And so the aroma
From a warm
Candle lit base
Wafts throughout the room
Is it the aroma
Which makes you weep?
Or that of the book
You now read?
Think not of outdoors
Not of the moonlit night
As it shines your house so bright
And yet a short while earlier
The sky was of wind and rain
Such is the power
Of a moonlit night.
Think not of the dog
Outstretched in front of the fire
Nor that of the cat
For he, no doubt
Will be curled up
Asleep on your bed.
Think only of the book
Before you now
And of the novel
You now read
As it captivates
Your mind.
The aroma of the candles
Eager to search a place
If only the door was open
Aroma drift by stealth
A scent of beauty
Will linger from
Room to room.
As eyes feel so tired
Your bed awaits
Where for some
Dreams are made
And so to sleep
You shall be.
Think not of the fire
Which once warmed
This cosy room
For its flickering heat
Will soon be dead.
And yet the aroma
Shall linger a wee
While longer
Instead.

Shelter from the Rain

Whilst all around you
Feel the storm
Of wind and rain
That do battle
For superiority
Against this
Wee land.
You remain strong throughout
Displaying the colours
Pleasing to see
No need of battles
Your position
Is safe.
A wee sprinkle of sunlight
Is all that you ask
To allow your growth
The giver of life.
Whilst many
Remain indoors
It is pleasing to see
My short walk
On this wee isle
Was not in vain.

How the Autumn leaf
Awaits the fall
Of so many.
Discarded are they
Cast off along the way
Of roads and pavements
And often blocking drains.
Nature needs
To shed it's old
No longer needed
Discard the old.
Soon the trees
Will be barren
And cold
Darkened
By day
Evil by night.
Soon the
Autumn leaf
Shall no longer be
In sight.

It may be good to talk.
However, I prefer to 'blog'.

If only the
Autumn leaf
would stay a
Wee while longer.
Embrace the colours
Carpets of leaves
On footpaths
All can be seen.
And yet to see
Leaves in colour
On trees and bushes
Along the lane
Gaze up
And they constantly
Dazzle you.
Treasure the
Autumn days
For what they bring
And as I wander
Along the lane
My thoughts
Are of
"If only".

Notebook Cool Pad
Posted: Sunday, 28 September 2008 |

I recently purchased a HP Mini Notebook - and excellent it is too.
However, I noticed the internal fan appeared to be working overtime - due to the heat build up.
So I decided to take the plunge on 'eBay'.
I purchased a notebook cool pad - and you can see a photo here of what it looks like.
It arrived via recorded delivery on Friday - and I am impressed.
Certainly does cool my note-book and even I enjoy the breeze from its (2) fans - of course there are (2) blue lights to enhance the stand - and late at night - anyone going past my home - would probably think I was having a disco - ah yes fond memories of 'disco's.
One has to open one's wee purse from time to time, and I think it is a wise investment - less than 拢10.
