    Love

    Anyone can say that we should love someone not by his or her face but

    It's a sad truth that we love someone first by his or her face
    Crack the myths and be practical

    THE ISLANDS

    The islands is friendly, I

    know that is true

    They welcome everyone -

    from me and you.

    The ocean is blue - the

    sun is a star,

    You can walk on the

    beaches - you can

    walk so far.

     

    The islands have love -

    and beauty is there

    The people will say;

    hello, because they

    do all care.

    The islands of paradise -

    it's there for you to

    see,

    Once you are there -

    you shall always be

    free.

     

    The islands are magic -

    to the eyes, and more,

    Just laze in the sun -

    you'll soon know the

    score.

    Embrace the animals

    as they will greet you -

    They are God's creatures -

    that is so true.

     

    The islands of heaven,

    can always be forgiven,

    They embrace the...

    MY BATTLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH

    http://thegraymonksscriptorium.blogspot.com/search?q=darryl+ashton&m=1The mind plays tricks on me

    And all I want is to be se free.

    There must be a cure out there

    to grasp and embrace

    Before I make the choice to 

    leave the human race.

     

    One day I am okay and thinking

    what to do

    Embracing happiness but there 

    is always a big queue.

    I think all the time as my head

    is list in war

    A war of being "normal" but that

    does see afar. 

     

    There are lots of other people 

    who suffer just like I do

    And no one can see their suffering

    it's hidden - that is very true. 

    You always are dreading each and

    every day

    You hate life so much it only brings

    you dismay.

    Obstacles

    Clouds try to hide my shine;
    Still, it can't prevent my glow...
    Cause, I am Sun!

    Still, clouds can't prevent my light;
    It can just hide me for a while...
    Cause, I am Moon!

    Why should I stop my glow?
    Just because of an obstacle... 
    I'll burn them into ashes;
    Cause, I am human!

    THE MAGIC BOOK PAGES

    The mind is like an open book - you

    sometimes want to close

    Page after page is telling a story - 

    but what of....no body knows.

    The pages tell a story and your mind

    can create some glory

    And if you do get stuck - there's always

    Jackanory!

     

    The mind can be stimulated as the 

    eyes open wide with glee

    And you can also make a story up - 

    and it's all for free. 

    The excitement is overwhelming as

    you turn page by page

    And can enjoy the whole book - no

    matter what your age. 

     

    The pages can see a secret and they

    know a troubled mind

    You can even enjoy the pages - even

    if you're blind.

    You see the pages are also magic as

    they can also talk to you

    That is so special the magic is so true.

    THE WATERFALL OF LIFE

    (I dedicate my poem to all

    true believers. May God truly

    bless you. Amen.) 


    The waterfall of life,
    shall quench the 
    thirst, which is rife,
    For the thirst of the
    mind does say;
    "drink and thou shall
    save a life?"

    The water is pure - 
    and so sweet,
    It tastes so good - 
    it really is neat.
    The father, our God,
    has blessed the water - 
    Just for us - as we
    now drink, as we 
    oughta!

    In desperation, the
    body does wander,
    But forsaking the lord,
    is only in slumber?
    We all need guidance - 
    and a shoulder for
    support,
    That shoulder, I feel,
    is the support, I do
    sought? 

    To cleanse the soul,
    is all I wish,
    Then take a taste, of
    that glorious dish!
    The dish of food -

    A BRIGHTER TOMORROW

    The poor get poorer

    that's a fact

    The rich get richer

    they never use any

    tact.

    The homeless are

    begging - but some

    are only fake

    They sit outside the

    shops - and are

    always on the take.

     

    The Government has

    tried to help us

    But some people do

    cause a lot of fuss.

    They stay at home

    working hard on the

    phone -

    As the slowly turn

    into a clone!

     

    Life will never be

    the same again - but

    to carry on we do

    Covid-19 has changed

    our lives - that is very

    true.

    When we wear the

    masks - it hides a

    sinister look

    Then we walk in to a

    shop or a bank - and

    looking like a crook!

     

    Is there light at the

    end of this dismal

    THE MAGICAL HEAVENLY STARS

     

     

     

    The magic of the stars

    is magic to the eyes

    I can see them all day

    and night - what a

    surprise.

    The stars gather round

    on proud display,

    And to see this magical

    sight we do not need to

    pay.

     

    The darkest of the night

    is a blessing for all to

    see,

    You just look on up at

    the sky - believe me - it

    is free.

    The sky is inviting me

    to go and have a tour

    To see the wondrous

    stars on parade - they

    ooze lots of amour.

     

    God has made a special

    home somewhere in

    the sky

    I would dearly love to

    see it - of this I cannot

    deny.

    Even the angels are

    flying and flirting with

    the stars,

    As they are now angelic
