 "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...

"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! Huh, you know life is funny when you look at it Everybody wants love But everybody's afraid of love You know, I'm a true believer If you get anything out of life You got to put up with the toil and strife Ooh You're pushin' my love A little bit too far I don't think you know I don't think you know how blest you are And your friend Annie May tell you all she see Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha That's the way I feel about 'cha I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind I know you've been hurt and so have many others too But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru Put you thru, put you thru Trust in me, my dear, have no fear You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha (Any of us can leave for a long adventure) That's the way I feel about 'cha Don't take my love as a sign of weakness Check into the situation, girl Dig a little deeper Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha That's the way I feel about 'cha Source: LyricFind 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...

"A Little Bit of Heaven" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Why the sea?' he asked. I smiled, meeting his eyes and seeing the colour I was describing. 'Because it's such a magical colour, so pretty and powerful all at the same time; think about what the water is, how demanding it can be one minute, then how calm and serene it can be the next.” ― Angel McGregor A Blue Azure There is no boundary to time or shadow Except passionate outbursts that set and lasso. I think about it every minute… until then Knowing nothing can ever stop this wind. One step… to another… then one more… Steady! Keep focused on that brown door. It’s honey… no craving… hell no, it’s altogether It’s heavy… no hot… truthfully, it’s light as a feather. It’s you… it’s me… past the door to a blue azure Fly, drive, run, walk , or even crawl… I’m yours… Diana Mary Sharpton All Rights Reserved © 2018 "You're Still Beautiful To Me" Turn out the lights and close the door Put your head on the pillow let me keep ya warm I wanna run my hands across your face Ya lyin' beside ya' still the perfect place We're still goin' strong So glad that you came along Ya babe in every way You're still beautiful to me I just - have ta say - You're still beautiful to me 'n (it's bin a long time baby) Lay back baby - close your eyes Let me do everything your heart desires When I think of the years makin' love to you There still ain't nothin' I'd rather do There's somethin' I can't deny You sure know how ta move this guy Ya babe in every way - You're still beautiful to me I just - have ta say - You're still beautiful to me - can't ya see Still feels good - still runs deep When you get close babe - I still get weak Cuz in these arms - is where you belong We're still goin' strong - so glad that you came along Hey babe you're still number one Oh can't ya see - you're still beautiful to me You'll always be so beautiful to me Ya babe in every way - you're still beautiful to me References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bryanadams/yourestillbeautifultome.html I fell at work today but that won't stop me from stepping into tomorrow... and loving you...

 Layers by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The human touch is that little snippet of physical affection that brings a bit of comfort, support, and kindness. It doesn’t take much from the one who gives it, but can make a huge difference in the one who receives it.” ― Mya Robarts On the Square Talk to me please, darling, tonight… Touch me with your lips in nibbles and bits As you have become the love of my life. I miss you; I need to come home I'm lost in the darkness of an endless storm Where lightning strikes and clouds form So, tell me, do you still care? I do, and I dare! Love for you is on the square… Diana Mary Sharpton © copywrite 2017 All Rights Reserved Home Again Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again It's so far and out of sight I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else Knows how to comfort me tonight Snow is cold, rain is wet Chills my soul right to the marrow I won't be happy till I see you alone again Till I'm home again and feeling right Snow is cold, rain is wet Chills my soul right to the marrow I won't be happy till I see you alone again Till I'm home again and feeling right Till I'm home again and feeling right I wanna be home again and feeling right Lyrics by https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/caroleking/homeagain.html Nothing else matters Sugar.... say something. stand by your friend. It is a selfish call but I need you... xoxo  "The Morning Dance" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “We've lost a lot of years, but you can't lose love. Not real love. It stays locked inside you, ready for whenever you are strong enough to find it again.” ― Martina Boone Our Dance Locked in this room with no windows or light It’s icy cold to bare skin; a constant pain, I fight Escape would taste like honey dipped in lime God! I beg you, release this soul; give me love Give him time…. Walking in circles around and again A hopelessness it almost seems Let me shed this skin; let me rip it from these bones So that flesh falls on to the unsympathetic stones Maybe then… the door will open to a golden sunrise I am distressed beyond what a mind can endure Sitting in this dark clammy room; Is this it? No, I am sure…. So, I leave this body; climbing into all those sweet dreams Surrounded in music it's our dance; that’s what matters to me… Diana Mary Sharpton © copyright all rights reserved 2017 It's my honest opinion that being in-love can bring the extremes in emotions. These are the lyrics: "In The Name Of Love" (with Bebe Rexha) [Bebe Rexha:] If I told you this was only gonna hurt If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first? Do it all in the name of love Would you let me lead you even when you're blind? In the darkness, in the middle of the night In the silence, when there's no one by your side Would you call in the name of love? In the name of love, name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of love In the name, name In the name of In the name, name In the name of In the name, name In the name of Love If I told you we could bathe in all the lights Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky? Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights? Would you fall in the name of love? When there's madness, when there's poison in your head When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed I will hold you in the depths of your despair And it's all in the name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of love In the name, name In the name of In the name, name In the name of In the name, name In the name of Love I wanna testify Scream in the holy light You bring me back to life And it's all in the name of love I wanna testify Scream in the holy light You bring me back to life And it's all in the name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of love In the name, name In the name of In the name, name In the name of In the name, name In the name of Love I miss you Sugar....If I become silent, know I am waiting and wanting you..... xxxx  "Simply Gentle Blue" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body." ~Martha Graham "As He Leads" Sunday morning: Autumn slowly enfolds and sets in Cooler, a briskness with all those desires it brings. I can see them swaying tightly to this jazzy tune As the Harvest sun rises in a sky that’s deeply blue. And he leads… Gently turning her face towards him; there’s a quiet recess, Kissing in distinct affection to a desire this witness can confess. The music continues as they return to dancing with ease Whirling her around in step whilst she follows this lead. Dreams… Are meant to be realized; Like this dance, I want with you Be it under a morning or evening sun; on a beach or in this room The point being that all is not time wasted; it’s real and true For one that dreams moment to moment of love, with you. Diana Mary Sharpton (c) copyright 2017 All Rights Reserved I am added the lyrics to the beautiful song sung by Van Morrison. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. "If You Love Me" If you love me You will give your heart Why should we be apart If you love me If you love me You will know the truth I wasn't born to lose And I love you Affinity and communication That makes reality Understanding is the first thing It means so much to me If I love you I will find the key If it's meant to be 'Cause I love you Affinity and communication That is reality Understanding is the first thing It means so much to me If I love you I will find the key If it's meant to be 'Cause I love you Cause yes, I love you Sugar...  From Shadows by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The question, love, is whether you want me enough to take the risk.” ― Lisa Kleypas Songs Eyes locked in place Are you there? I didn't see you today? Maybe this fever kept me away… Who can really say… I have been sick, in that shell It’s comfortable, quiet, my kind hell Yet, the sun will rise to summer dew And songs of joy and love will renew And I remain blue to the core In love with you, wanting more And I'm... the livin' you passionately need It’s no secret this thing between you and me...

 A Perfect Pair In BW by Diana Mary Sharpton Photography Introduction: “I can't tell if I should be ashamed of wanting to hold you on this day, or grateful that, despite what happened before now, it somehow brought me to you.” ― Sarah J.

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
