A Marverick #Poetry by Diana Mary Sharpton w/Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night #Musicvideo1/11/2019
 "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...  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 This song does not have any lyrics listed anywhere, I looked; however if you listen carefully you can hear the message without reading about it. The Battle I heard the words "I can't love". Is this true? Or were they meant for the world; a whispered clue Tell me, did you hear them too? Thank God, I was born indifferent, sightless and rash Waiting for my sweet love into my soul he’d crash So why the pain? I guess I really do know…. Maybe, it's the battle between mind and soul...

"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. Well I'm crazy about my baby What would I do without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see Where would I go. Well I'm crazy about my baby What would I do without you, to see me through. References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/vanmorrison/whatwouldido.html Life becomes winter without you.... 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... I love every inch of you...  "Kissing in The Rain" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.” ― Charles Bukowski I have written many words about this moment.... "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... "Shining In The Rain" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #MumfordandSons #Forever #LovingU25/12/2018  "Shining In the Rain" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Music is a language, listen to it with your heart then read the words with your eyes and open your soul to it's communication: “Where words fail, music speaks.” ― Hans Christian Andersen "Forever" I know I've had you troubled And I know I've seared your mind But you know that I love you And that our love's not blind And sure, my dreams lie with you But I've many more besides And if I can't see them through Our love will slowly die So if you doubt for the time that you're spending And if you doubt for the love in your heart Think of London and the girl you're returning And the days you defend will turn to gold So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with your Dare I stay forever Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for your Dare I stay forever And I've known pious women Who have led such secret lives Shameless in the dark So shameful in the light And you may not be pious And I may not be saved But we could live quite happily And quietly unfazed So if you doubt for the time that you're spending And if you doubt for the love in your heart Think of London and the girl you're returning And the days you defend will turn to gold So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with your Dare I stay forever Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for your Dare I stay forever I was dreaming of the Liffey I was thinking of the Thames And now the East river flows by to the same end Are we too sentimental to not look back and stare So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with your Dare I stay forever Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for your Dare I stay forever References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mumfordsons/forever.html The girl is a woman that loves you... Are you the man of her dreams? Only you can say... Because her heart is set.  "In A Basin" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart. ~ Robert Sexton "For Love On Christmas Day" Wrote myself a letter, I told myself a lie That you'll be coming home soon and then your name I sigh I read it every morning since you went away I'm living in a dream world and dying a little more each day Wrote myself a love song, believing every word Saying that you love me in melodies unheard That you'll be coming back soon and forever you will stay I'm living in a dream world and dying a little more each day Snow is on the sidewalk, it's cold inside my heart I look up and I wonder, have I lost my guiding star And everything is white outside, how can it be so dark? Say a prayer and thank God that your love is mine alone And never be another who could grace our happy home Pray on Christmas morning that this time you will stay But I'm living in a dream world and dying a little more each day Yes, I'm dying For love on Christmas day references: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ericclapton/forloveonchristmasday.html Loving this song on a Sunday... and dreaming about you
 "Looking Up" 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 "Let It Be Me" There comes a time—a time in everyone's life Where nothing seems to go your way Where nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time You just can't seem to find your place For every door you open Seems like you get two slammed in your face That's when you need someone Someone that you—you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend that you need Let it be me Let it be me Feels like you're always coming up last Pockets full of nothing, ain't got no cash No matter where you turn, you ain't got no place to stand You reach out for something and they slap your hand I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone You feel like you'd give anything For just a little place you can call your own That's when you need someone Someone that you—you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me Miss you... "Trinity Sunset" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ Diana Krall "Wide River To Cross"#LoveOfMyLife14/9/2018
 "Trinity Sunset" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "Not from the whole wide world I choose thee, Sweetheart, light of the land and the sea! The wide, wide world could not enclose thee, For thou art the whole wide world to me." - R. W. Gilder Talk To Me by Suzanne Hayasaki Sit with me in the shade of this tree. Tell me who you were, who you are, And who it is you wish to be. Talk to me of days gone by and days to come. Talk to me of warm mornings, cool evenings, And cold nights, writing by candlelight. Tell me of the epic that will not come. Tell me of the love poems that continue to flow, Unread, unpublished, unappreciated, Unseen by the eyes that inspire them. Tell me of your ambitions, your wishes, Your vision of what you could be If someone would take the time to read The words you put to paper so passionately. Recite and I will listen. Hypnotize me with your rhymes. Lull me with the rhythms of your speech. Create a complete world with your words And let your voice lead us both Where you want us to go. The epic is an oral tradition. Poetry is meant to be heard not read. Don’t look for your story in the structure. Don’t expect to work magic if you are counting feet. Just be. Just speak. Just believe That within you is beauty And release it. "Wide River To Cross" There's a sound in the wind, blowing down the road I've been I can hear it cry while shadows steal the Sun But I can not look back now, come too far to turn around And there's still a race ahead, I must run I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I have stumbled, I have strayed You can trace the tracks I've made All across the memories, why aren't we gone But I'm just a refugee, won't you sing a prayer for me Cause sometimes even the strongest soldiers falls I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross References: Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dianakrall/widerivertocross.html Video: Diana Krall - Published on Sep 11, 2012 Personal Note: To the man I love, I want you morning, noon and night. I think of you always, every minute of the day. What are you doing today? How did you feel? Did you laugh and think about me? Did you take long steps or sit down? Did you get angry and shrugged it off? Dance with this gal my darling. The journey is not over yet. It's you that bring the sun to my rainy days and without you I am lost. Consistency spells affection. Affection is the response to my emotion, I have for you. You are the love of my life. Diana  "Electricity" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "I live for sex. I celebrate it, and relish the electricity of it, with every fiber of my being. I can see no better reason for being alive.” ― Fiona Thrust, "Kiss You All Over" When I get home, babe Gonna light your fire All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe You're my one desire Gonna wrap my arms around you Hold you close to me Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah I don't know what I'd do without you, babe Don't know where I'd be You're not just another lover No, you're everything to me Ev'rytime I'm with you, baby I can't believe it's true When you're layin' in my arms We do the things you do You can see it in my eyes I can feel it in your touch You don't have to say a thing Just let me show how much Love you, need you, yeah I wanna kiss you all over And over again I wanna kiss you all over Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Stay with me, lay with me Holding me, loving me, baby Here with me, near with me Feeling you close to me, baby So show me, show me ev'rything you do 'Cause baby no one does it quite like you Love you, need you Oh, babe I wanna kiss you all over And over again I wanna kiss you all over Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Till the night closes in References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/exile/kissyouallover.html Hungry with desire for you baby....

 "Daisy In Light" By Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "Look at me that way again, and you may just claim what's left of my heart." — William C. Hannan "Sweet Surrender" Baby I'm through runnin' it's true I'd be a fool to try to escape you Maybe I'm beat but oh what a sweet surrender You keep your rights, I'll take your nights No one can lose when we turn the lights out Tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender I'm givin' up myself to you but I didn't really lose at all I gained the only love I've known and it never hurt me to fall Now that it's done, so glad you won I know our lives have only begun now No more retreat, only my sweet surrender Umm Babe, I may be beat, but oh what a sweet surrender surrender...
