it is finished

So here it is the finish picture, it may be a masterpieve but it was the best i could have done so I'm pleased with it, so it was a sucess.

When all is done.

The pencill is dull
the last stroke done
at arms legth i admire my work
I like it
a part of me
is there in the picture
my eye has seen
my hand has moved
to mark
to lay the image
to the page.

New Things

All Things new
this happens
when change arrives
like a  whirlwind
blowing the old away
bringing the new
like black clouds
parting
revealing the new
blue sky over head.
Change is inevitable
Whoever you are
where ever you are
rich folk
poor folk
change is coming
be ready

Control

control
when all around is noisy
when they are clammering for you
to feed them
sooth them
advice them
and when it seems you can give no more
then close your eyes
take a deep breath
and imagine a stream in a wood
and then know
that many miles away
someone is doing the same
and there you will find me
by your side
to help you gain control
and find a little peace through friendship
with someone many miles away
yet close to your heart and mind

some time

Some times I do
Some times I dont
Somes i can
Somes times I can't
Some times i see
Some times I'm blind
Some times I'm warm
Some times I'm cold

Some times

some times

Between times I am me
Normal
Every day me
neither praising myself
nor beating myself up
over what i can
or can't
do.
Over what i should
or should't
do.
Over what i have
or haven't
done.

The concept of ME
is hard to grasp
I know me too well
I can not see me as other see me
which is a shame.
I may or may not accept
myself
more or less
than
I already do.

Humans are complicated
I'm Human
I'm complicated

Sitting

Sitting in silence
Thinking
Staring at the screen
Keyboard cold
untouched
Waiting.
Inspration hovers
just out of reach
I tried to reach out to grasp it
I tried but I failed
So I held out my hnd
for it to come to me.
I reached out
I tried I suceeded.
It came to me
like  frightened bird.
Inpriation Igniting my mind
guiding my fingers
to warm the keyboard
to type
to express
to show

TY 22.05.07

Tried..I succeded...

I tried to kick the ball to score the goal
I tried to run my fastest time
I tried I Succeeded

I tried to remember something
I tried, o recall whyit was i love you so
I tried I Succeeded

I tried to lift my head
I tried to be positive to see the good
I tried I Succeeded

I tried to say I love you
I tried to speak what was in my heart
I tried I Suceeded

I tried to keep on trying
I tried to try
I tried I Succeeded


Ty 22.05.07

I Tried.. I failed...

I tried to hold the wind in my hand
I tried to stpp it blowing
I tried I failed.

I tried to remember something
I tried, its was on the tip of my tongue
I tried I failed

I tried to stop the tears
I tried to stop them flowing
I tried I failed

I tried to say  I love you
I tried tried but my mouth was dry
I tried I failed

I tried to keep on trying
I tried to try
I tried I failed

ONE HUNDRED

Well folk's this is it....the 100th post. I'm going to start with a requested poem, I asked my readers to give me some idea's for a poem. The winner and only entry was KATHERINE who wanted a poem about man's best friend, and specifically about a Yellow Lab called Samson..
Well Katherine here it is,  A poem Dedicated to you and Samson

Best Friend..by Tim Young

A black soft eye
looks out
stares
from a sea of Gold.
An open mouth gapes
rows of sharp teeth
bared
but a pink tongue
removes any fear.
The mouth almost in a smile.
The dog pants
cocks his head
wags his tail
and bends me to his will,
for walks
for food
for love and affection.
I wonder who is the master
I wonder who
is who's best friend.

Katherine i hoped you like it...

OK on with the poetry...

Point of View. by Tim Young

I did'nt have a point of view
I just had objections
contridictions
ignorence.
You had points of views
but with love
and wisdom
to know when to express them.
You
awakened me
showed me
wider horizons
you helped me down
from my high horse.
You hugged me
let me put my head on your shoulder
held me there while I cried
then
you forgave me..

Yet another one coming up..

This next one was an instant poem challenge set by a friend of mine, he challenged me to write a poem about an accident he had so here it is..

Pain no Gain

A tear of blood
fell
followed by many drops
a wound opened
quite by mistake.
The main protagonists included
a timber of wood
a strong sturdy Hammer
and
a missed timed swing,
the resulting
BASH
CLASH
PAIN
FLESH ripped wound
ende in hospital.
Fortunatly
the bone was strong
the head survived
but the pain
lasted longer
than the scream
on the inital impact.
Such a small mistake
such a lot of pain.
They say no pain no gain
but the shed remains
and is still standing
testament
to pain no gain
and the phrase
DIY
really does mean
Do It Yourself..

That one was for you vince!!!!!

I hope you liked todays poems, please let me know if you would like me to write you one.
See you all next time

TIM

Apart from That this is my 99 post........SO PLEASE SEND ME  YOUR IDEAS FOR POEMS FOR MY 100TH POST......

Idea...by TimYoung

The stuff inside my head
has idea's
thoughts
notions...
but what to do with them,
act them out
write them down
share them
keep them secret
a secret
never to be told.
Discard them
embelish them
expand them.
Idea's
thoughts
part of what make us human
parst of what makes me.....me
I think I'll write them down
in as pleasing but disjointed way.
I'll call it poetry...

Almost there

Another post nearer to my 100th post....again I'm asking for idea form a poem. Let me know a subject you would like a poem on, out of all the suggestions I get the one I think is the best I will write and e-mail you a copy.
Help me celebrate my 100th post.. I never thought I would get here....

Just an Idea.. by Tim Young

Its just an idea
a thought
a light bulb lit up
in my brain
a thought was illuminated
a notion was born.
I thought about it
deliberated on it
even tried
to put it into practice.
But sadly
nothing
nothing was the result
after all
it was
just
an Idea

getting there

Soon it will be my 100th post....I would love to celebrate it in style, so let  me know if there is poem you would like me to write. I will post it on the Blog and e-mail it to you to keep if you want it. 
I have  an idea that I want to run pass all you guys and girls out there, I'm thinking about starting
two more blogs for poetry, one for my faith with is so important to me and the other would be for 
romantic love poems, let  me know what you think.

How to speed up time..... by Tim  young

As you know
you will be aware
then when stared at
the hands of time
creep more slowly.
So my brain has an idea
print a picture
and stick to the clock
I figure that if you enjoy
looking at the clock
then the hands of time
will speed up.
We should enjoy out time
on this earth
this planet
we only have one life to live

  

That morning feeling

I have just got up,I have to be at work for 9.30am today. Work is busy but good, I will have to shake off that morning feeling though, you know the one, eyes not focussing, yawning, tired limbs, though with me my back is stiff and painfull but that another story. The walk to the bus stop will wake me up fully.

Alarm.. by Tim Young

It rings but I sleep
It shouts but Ignore
I turn off
to tired to to hit
the
RED
snoze button
If i can do that I can get up.
The cover tighten around me
my eyes hide
deeper in my head
unseeing.
Then a thought
and I wake
I rush
to be at work on time

Just another Day

Is there such a thing as tomorrow, a question my Mother used to say to me "Tim" she said Tomorrow never comes. There is only today, tomorrow is a consept, made availagble to us only though our understanding of time... what a load of rubbish I have just written
Still it makes you think.

Rubbish..by Tim Young

I have spouted some rubbish,
in my time I have spoken,
thought,
garbidge.
But like a painting
to some it is as i have said
rubbish
to other it is genious.
Random thoughts that
that capture the imagine
spur on thought
understanding.
Rubbish or genious
it does not matter
as long as my voice is heard.

Just me and wendy

A strange thing happened today. I have been off work on a few days holiday, the kids were at school or university so me and Wendy got to spend the day with each other, it has been a lovely day we went to a local pub that does great food, 2 for the price of 1. I have a mixed grill it had gammon,steak,chicken and sausages chips and union rings and peas. Wendy had a fishers mans feast, with prawns and battered cod, chips and pea's. Hopefully it will not be too long before we can go again.


Just the two of us. by Tim Young

Three Simple Things.. by Tim Young

Three Simple words
so hard to say
so full on meaning
full of promise
full of promises
three words
from me to you.
I love you.

Moon

I have seen two amazing things this week. The first was a ring around the Moon, I do not know if you have ever seen one. When Ice forms in the upper atmosphere the moon light reflects off the ice crystals forming a "ring" here is a pic ( sadly I did not take it)


And secondly Yesturday was a Luna Eclipse. The moon when red as it passed in the earth's
shadow, truly wonderfull. (I did not take this pic either)


The Moon by Tim Young

Floating
hanging
glowing
guiding
from new to full.
Man has travelled
stood on you
then abandoned you
but there you remain
alone
beautiful
looking down
on us,
most of who
do not care about about you
let alone
our our planet
