A Marverick #Poetry by Diana Mary Sharpton w/Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night #Musicvideo31/12/2020
 "Blair Stuart" by Blair Stuart Photography Introduction: “I personally believe mavericks are people who write their own rulebook. They are the ones who act first and talk later. They are fiercely independent thinkers who know how to fight the lizard brain (to use Seth Godin’s term). I don’t believe many are born, rather they are products of an environment, or their experiences. They are usually the people that find the accepted norm does not meet their requirements and have the self-confidence, appetite, independence, degree of self reliance and sufficient desire to carve out their own niche in life. I believe a maverick thinker can take a new idea, champion it, and push it beyond the ability of a normal person to do so. I also believe the best mavericks can build a team, can motivate with their vision, their passion, and can pull together others to accomplish great things. A wise maverick knows that they need others to give full form to their views and can gather these necessary contributors around them. Mavericks, in my experience, fall into various categories – a/ the totally off-the-wall, uncontrollable genius who won’t listen to anyone; b/ the person who thinks that they have the ONLY solution to a challenge but prepared to consider others’ views on how to conquer the world &, finally, the person who thinks laterally to overcome problems considered to be irresolvable. I like in particular the third category. The upside is that mavericks, because of their different outlook on life, often sees opportunities and solutions that others cannot. But the downside is that often, because in life there is always some degree of luck in success (i.e. being in the right place at the right time), mavericks that fail are often ridiculed for their unorthodox approach. However when they succeed they are acclaimed for their inspiration. It is indeed a fine line they walk in life.” ― Ziad K. Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics A Maverick As water flows into time; humanity propels an infinite truest. He’s not lost; just complicated, an enigma, between custom and thirst. The wind’s his mistress; transfixing existing depths hurled to a pause, In pursuit; of beauty with a lens, resolute however never resolved. He is a man that walks a path bequeathed in honor and dignity, A truth akin to surges from an ocean controlled by the anger in wind, Centered in his frame; carrying it bearing no disrepute, Yet there’s that wrinkle, a wanton speck in tenderness, moot. Alike a smoothed bolder splitting the natural flow in a stream, Or a lengthy journey commenced awaiting its symmetry. Not the complete man, a tersely fragment lodged in his soul, And at times between blinks it leaves him bare and cold. Shaking his head to mend the painful silliness that seems to append, And focus on the grace of life in the now, irrespective to the journey’s end. Distinctive yet rebellious, perceptions tend to send, For his allure’s an unorthodox merit of being a maverick among men. I wrote this poem several years ago based on my impression of Blair Stuart. I hit the nail on the head, so to speak.... :) I have changed the music up to Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night which in my opinion fits this post and Blair's personality the best... Take a listen... remember people will show you how they feel. Need your loving Sugar... #AlGreen "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" #coronavirus #DianaMarySharpton#Photography #LovnU31/3/2020  Purple Buds by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The umbrella won't stop the rain, but it will help you to get out during rainfall. As well as confidence is not going to guarantee your success, but it will give you the opportunity to achieve it.” ― Eyden I. The world is in a conundrum. Individuals are being asked to live "at a distance" from each other due of the #Coronavirus and for me it has been very frightening and sad. Compounding this emotion is the fact people are dropping like flies at a sugar bowl full of sweet poison. Thank God no one that I love or know has been affected. People are either playing according to the rules or not at all. The latter being truly selfish and disrespectful. It is surreal. This being said, my second favorite thing is listening to music and sugar, this along with my first favorite thing is what we will do to pass all this time on hand.... smiling :) Let's listen to Al Green to talk about the pain. He knows how to sing about it! How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? Al Green I can think of younger days when living for my life Was everything a man could want to do I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow And how can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go round? How can you mend a this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees And misty memories of days gone by We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow And how can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go round? How can you mend this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Barry Gibb / Robin Gibb How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? - Notting Hill lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group Missing you...Sugar show-up  Introduction: “A day without you beside me is like a day without warm sunshine. It's cold and gloomy.” ― Mouloud Benzadi The song that I am going to feature this evening is titled “Without You" (2) and sung by the brilliant young duet, Birds of a Feather (Amy McKay & Ryan Leon). Both singer-songwriters, their music is consider Folk, Pop. The video was published on March 1, 2020 and uploading on YouTube by DEUTSCHLAND. "Without You" is the 9th track on their brand new albumn titled "You Are Music" released on August 28, 2019. I love this groups' music and this song is no exception. Remember LOVE Traverses it all!...I highly recommend a few moments of your time to to check out their albumn and this video... A little about the artists and the lyrics are listed below for your reading pleasure... A little about the Artists: BIRDS OF A FEATHER Amy & Ryan "Amy McKay (vocal, guitar, piano, bluesharp) and Ryan Leon (vocal, guitar, banjo) are artists with a long track record respectively. They have been performing on both big and small stages in various places and countries before having met during their previous project, TinkaBelle. The band was signed to Warner Music Central Europe, and both their studio albums were awarded with gold status. The group joined soul singer Seal for a duet, opened up in sold-out stadiums for rock legends Status Quo and went on tour with The Overtones in Germany. By the end of 2013, it became clear to Amy and Ryan that the time was ripe for musical development and personal change. The decision for a new beginning had been made. Birds of a Feather were allowed to mature slowly. Their first two EPs “Light Up” (2016) and “Rise Up” (2017) were recorded in Dublin with the support of producer Ger McDonnell (U2). They took them on the road and performed shows all over Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, and Austria. In spring 2018, in cooperation with DB, they gave concerts in all major train stations in Baden-Württemberg. In December 2018, they launched a successful crowdfunding campaign to finance their band bus. At the end of August 2019, Amy and Ryan will release their first full studio album “You Are Music”. They repeated the inspiring collaboration with Ger McDonnell, and this time they also worked with three amazing Irish musicians: John Colbert (Bass), Esa Taponen (Gitarren) und Daragh O’Toole (Keyboard) Camera by: https://www.robinegli.ch Cast: Alessandra Votta & Patrick Müller-Klug" I have added their social media connections in case you are interested to connecting.

Pink Rose #Photography by #DianaMarySharpton w/ #FaithHill & #TimMcGraw - "Let's Make Love" #lets17/1/2020  Pink Rose by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “They say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as I'm missing you right now” ― Edna St. Vincent Millay It is as simple as "hello" that can make the difference in that persons' day... Let me say "I hope your day is brilliant"... and that you are missed. "A Basket of Roses" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #VanMorrison "Up on Broadway" #MissU23/12/2019  Introduction: “I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” ― C. JoyBell C. "Up On Broadway" by Van Morrison Up on Broadway Far away from trouble Up on broadway, baby Feel liek we're living in a bubble And the city lights Stretching out way down below Up on Broadway, baby It's where I wanna go Up on Broadway When the night is quiet and still Up on Broadway, baby High upon the hill Stretching out across the bay And the early morning light Up on Broadway Man, it's outta sight Down to North Beach In the parks of the West That's the place that I like to go Like to go the best Take a walk with me Just to see what we can see Up on Broadway, baby Sounds just like a symphony Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway So far away, far away from trouble Up on Broadway, baby Feel like we're living in a bubble And the city lights are stretching Stretching way down in the city down below Up on Broadway, baby Got to get on with the show Up on Broadway, baby Got to get on with the show Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, baby Take a walk with me Take a walk with me In the eveining time In the eveining time's where we gotta be Up on Broadway, baby Up on Broadway, give me five Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway It's so good to be alive Give me five Give me five Give me five It's so good to be alive Up on Broadway Give me five Give me five So good to be alive Up on Broadway, baby Up on Broadway, Broadway References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/vanmorrison/uponbroadway.html Where are you Sugar?... why are you hiding?

Poinsettias #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #LadyAntebellum "Be Patient With My Love" #NeedU7/12/2019  Poinsettias by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.” ― Rumi "Be Patient With My Love" Mighta done it this time Mighta drank too much wine Mighta said somethin' that I just can't take back Always push till you cry And I just don't know why Tell me there's a way to turn around On this way to goodbye 'Cause I'm comin' back Back to my senses I'm comin' back Like holy redemption I'm comin' back to the man that I was So, please don't give up Be patient with my love No, I never fight fair But I'm tryin', I swear Old habits don't break I heard someone say (Heard someone say) Ooh, yeah, I could use some Jesus A little more prayer But if I could make it to the middle Could you meet me there?

This evening  Sunrise In Galveston by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I've learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not always to be trusted.” ― Steve Goodier Well it has been a very difficult four months, fiscal year-end, new staff and the beginning of an Audit. Then suddenly, there was a leadership change details of which really do not matter. The thing that is important is that I turned in my resignation yesterday and my last day is on 11/22/2019. Lets say when one wakes and looks for excuses to not go to work there is a problem and this time I addressed it head on. I am proud of myself... that's right! I am okay and did the right thing for me. I am looking for my path again... eyes wide open, with clear vision and heart in hand. I will continue! Richard Clayderman is a brilliant pianist... here is my music for today, enjoy! It is an instrumental; however the words below describe my emotion. Richard Clayderman - Ballade Pour Adeline When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, And don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm, There's a golden sky, And a sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Though your dreams be tossed and blown... Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone... You'll never walk alone Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone... You'll never walk alone Love you my sweetheart... and thinking about you... only you  "Come Close" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Come to me. Why must you ruin this moment? You are burdened with thought. Burdened with the past and expectations of the future. You are burdened with your self. Cast these aside by laughing at yourself. And love, for what more is there than to love me? Take me now and let it be heaven for us.” ― Kamand Kojouri It has been a long time since I wrote anything; however I have thought a lot about life, choices, behavior, responses, regrets, hopes, yesterday and tomorrow. Living in the now is important... I wake up and thank the lord for the new day... and live my day. I have always felt it was safer to think and act this way. If I die well I didn't agonize over the fact of death. The finality of it all. This probably tells you lot about me. Everyday, I start a new page, it may be the same as yesterday's or even tomorrows; however my plans are typically short term if I am to act on them. Yes there are those dreams and hopes but to buy the new car or tires for the old one happens this weeks, not in three months. I have a budgets that helps me plan ahead... but then I am living right now... Risk taker? Big yes and small no. It is a difficult yet easy decision and is strictly based on how much I am loved and the potential for a logical or even positive outcome.... This month, this week today, this afternoon... if not then I will address it tomorrow....This behavior is really about believing in my tomorrow in the hopes that if I get there it will go my way or at least I have a sure footing with people, time, events that I have invested in. Complicate? Hell yes! I have always been at the crossroads of my life... Why? because I am also scare about tomorrow and the choices I make that will affect me emotionally... If I die... well I am dead... who cares... It's the pain in disappointment, loss, love, loneliness that might crush me... So it's hard for me to crossover the road.... To make that decision... The right decision... People who know me, understand this about me and are patiently helping me cross this road.... to the other side. Don't push! I am stubborn... "smile" Here is a song that speaks to this universe. Love Me Anyway P!nk Even if you see my scars Even if I break your heart If we're a million miles apart Do you think you'd walk away? If I get lost in all the noise Even if I lose my voice Flirt with all the other boys What would you say? Could you? Could you? Could you love me anyway? Is it for better or for worse Or am I just your good time girl? Can you still hold me when it hurts Or would you walk away? Even if I scandalize you Cut you down and criticize you Tell a million lies about you What would you say? Could you? Could you? Could you? Could you love me anyway? Could you? (Aw, could you?) Could you? (Could you?) Could you? Could you love me anyway? Could you? Could you? (Could you still love me?) Could you? (Pick up the pieces of me?) Could you? (Could you still love me?)

I can always want you and need you... however I love you just the same. I can't throw it way, expect a different feeling no matter how I am treated... It's love... a simple fact... I can get angry, upset to the point of leaving but can't because you are my soul...  Purple Triangle by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The initial confrontation of the root is the most critical part of this journey.” ― Bruce Lengeman In Purple Fields We Dance Stay a little longer come closer to my heart Breathe dew breeze on my neck's nape do not yet depart Play for me bagpipe music Blindfold all my starving fears Let the dulcet tones of your voice give us back those harvest years Make of the citrus moon a ballroom Hold me firmly from both hands Lift me high to touch the star-sky Show me how young peasants dance Let my soothing fingers trail across your caloused sun -soaked skin In purple fields Come chase me in that place our souls have been Take me away with you where this world is out of sight Where unspoken thoughts and heartbeats are enough to blaze the night.

"Among the Crowd" By Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. ” – William Shakespeare I finally found the lyrics That's the Way I Feel About It!

"To Only You" #Poetry #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #VanMorrison "What Would I Do Without You"3/5/2019  "Majestic" By Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” ― Carl Sagan To Only You I can’t explain it! It’s like running furiously lost time Trying to find that moment that’s passing me by It’s a quiet sadness, only I know to feel As I laugh in days to nights the skin, I peel How can love evoke behavior like this? From agony to seconds knotted in fanciful bliss An energy laden in the flames of unfettered appeal Which is the true secret this soul must reveal To only you, my love is primal, tender and benign Saith I to you seeking moments shared at your side. Diana Mary Sharpton© Copyright 2019 All rights Reserved "What Would I Do" If you leave me, if you grieve me What would I do without you to see me through. If you hurt me, if you desert me What would I do, without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see What would I know.

I love you Sugar be my spring...  "Canary Yellow" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” ― Mandy Hale Can't seem to get this song out of my head, I heard it on the way home last Friday. I plan on retiring soon... or let's say not soon enough. Waiting for my paperwork to show-up. We all go through times that are hard, easy and happy. God bless me to make it to that happy point... even though it may be hard. The below poem is an internal struggle, I went through a few years ago. The good news is that this battle has become less and less each day. Isn't that something! I recently moved to a small one bedroom and my children stayed in my old apartment. The complex did us a solid and painted both units and laid new carpet. I just love both apartments. The amazing things is that the battle my son and I were in has vanished. He loves me now! I am blessed... yes indeed. I love the color of cobalt blue; however I am going to add to this list candy apple red, jet black, soft grey and canary yellow with the brilliance of them all dancing in my new apartment for me to enjoy every minute of the day. Yes, I can now walk around in my skin, wash clothes when I want, make noise, food lasts a week, no dishes in the sink and there are quiet moments when needed... This move has been an amazing lift to my outlook and mood. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and miss them, but they needed for me to move out...lol! Flock of Loons by Diana Mary Sharpton Churning thoughts drift as insignificant balloons, Springing upward into flight, As a flock of sultry loons Suddenly! Ear-piercing, there’s a CLASH, Breaking tranquility, A complete sound botch, As birds airlift from the distant loch Reminiscence, it’s all so pristine, As a fresh dewy morning, Crisp, green and serene Yes, I crossed the traverse today, And faced a demon or two, along my way, There’s no hiding from time, It slams the soul in discomfort, Slowly crawling up between nerve and spine One thing doesn’t change, It’s life’s impression, Washing down my face, Dictating pace, And clocking my next sensation or taste I looked in the mirror, today Bewildered, I would say Instead of me, I saw you Wondering who it was looking so cool I knew you but you looked through me, Seeing nothing relevant, Just a vastness, encompassing the deep blue sea, The difference felt little frightening too! An awkwardness, see, Because, I had found consolation without your soul in me What would I do? To merge the two! NOW and THEN, Split apart by sadness, loss, denial, revenge and sin, It’s just NOW, so I opened the reflection and let you in, Touched by this commotion, You reconciled to NOW and I to THEN © Copyright by Diana Mary Sharpton 2013-2019 "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (from "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" soundtrack) Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore It's gettin' dark, too dark to see I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore That long black cloud is comin' down I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door References: Lyrics https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/knockinonheavensdoor.html Sugar you have touched my soul, my heart and my mind...

"A Moon To Remember" Wrapped up beneath a blanket of stars you and me and the beat of our hearts both holding on holding on tight I can still see reflecting in your eyes a moon to remember a night to surrender a moment to treasure forever yours and mine a flood of emotion cast over the ocean a moon to remember for the rest of our lives - yeah looking at you nothing has changed what I felt back then, baby I still feel today you're all I want you're all I'll ever need I never will forget the night you shared with me Lyrics Reference: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johnnyreid/amoontoremember.html I need you in my life... come lets' dance, make love and remember every second of these moments... |

Diana Mary Sharpton“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Categories
