Awaken my soul part 2
By lady Arabella
You touched me and kissed me with gentle lips
Touched my soul with your finger tips
You created a feeling that I thought I would never feel again
You made me believe and trust again in men
But then you took it all away
You were the one reason I would have chose to stay
But you said words and made choices and pretended like I wasn’t there
I wish you honestly knew before now how much I did care
When I made the choice to go I thought I was ready to say goodbye
But every time I think of those words and you I now just want to cry
Because if I knew you loved me when you did
Then maybe my own feelings wouldn’t have had to stay hid
If I knew then what I know now
Maybe things could have been different somehow
Part of me is hurting because I was never given that chance
I’d give so many opportunities for you to change your stance
But you never did and yet I’d still stay
Hoping things would change one day
But too much time of no changes made me question why I wasn’t enough
Watching you do the things you did and still stay was tough
Each girl or each time you’d deny what I saw and each time you would turn me down
You Made me feel more and more unworthy of my own crown
But I just wasn’t ready to just let go
And all this I now need you to know
As words left unspoken
Lead to hearts being broken
Maybe if I would have walked away sooner saying goodbye wouldn’t cause so much pain
This situation has become such a Shame
Regrets and chances not taken means we will never know what could have been
Why is “love” so mean
Awaken my soul part one now turned to pending
When it was Written for you at a time where there was no ending
In the famous words of pink who knew
I guess the course of love never running smooth is true
My biggest regret is it took me leaving for you to say
But if it wasn’t for all the above by your side I’d alway would have chose to stay
Time to heal
By Lady Arabella
They say with time the pain becomes less
In a world full of chaos , hurt and lies it became such a mess
Sometimes you don’t want to give up and walk away
But sometimes forgiveness can’t happen when things don’t change and you always stay
They say sometimes you don’t realise what you had until is gone
Sometimes you know in your heart you can’t take anymore and it’s just done
It doesn't mean you wish them bad or Ill
But sometimes recognising they are not the person you thought is a bitter pill
They say time heals wounds which have been caused
That time gives you opportunities to take a step back and pause
That with time the perception of pain can be altered
That time gives you Awhile with self, and permission to be faltered ,
Sometimes the brain knows what the heart does not wish to admit
It’s a question of How much more can you and will you permit
And the answer to that question is no more
Because I deserve someone who respects me and means what they say that’s for sure
There’s something about disrespect you just can’t move past
No matter how much you may have wanted things to last
Sometimes what we feel isn’t what we deserve
It all comes down to understanding your worth
And for me I know I’m a queen who deserves a king
Not someone who lies , continues to hurt and is a vehicle to everything
Someone who will let anyone get in and take a ride
Someone who doesn’t believe in themselves
Or has self pride
Someone who thinks it’s okay to treat you any less
Someone who will never recognise what you offer is the best
So right now I need time to heal the hurt they have caused
As When I think of the person I once loved, I shudder , tremble, and know now those feelings must be paused.
I was never going to accept or allow anything less
But if they are willing to then it will be on their time not mine and I wish them nothing but the best.
Today the sweetest letter arrived
I felt the love she had written inside
As I opened her envelope fairies flew out
For I knew who penned it
there was no doubt
My darling girl
My precious love
Arabella my grandchild
She was sent from above
Expressing her love of all things archaic
Like castles and palaces and dare I say it
Ancient people with stories untold
When turning the page a verse I behold
Of how Grandma is even more beautiful now
Her wisdom, her smile, even wrinkles somehow
So please can I share with whoever is there
After reading her words tears were everywhere
To think she had written about faded beauty
Touched my heart ~ Touched my soul
My darling Grandaughter
Oh I do love her so...
(below is the poem from my sweet Granddaughter)
Beauty ~ by Arabella Rose Gilmour ~ 2020
I know of so many beautiful buildings in the shadow of city skylines
They are still even more breathtaking
than when the first person stepped foot in them many years ago
I see old buildings and I am in awe
naturally drawn to the history
the people who have been before me
their stories ~ their culture
So I cannot understand when people say beauty fades away
As it simply is not true… beauty stays forever
My grandma is just as beautiful today
as her teenage self many years ago
Just more smile and laughter lines that time has brought
Wrinkles are not always imperfect
I think they are stunning
They show happiness ~ time ~ experience ~ wisdom
They are something that should be treasured
Not masked or hidden
~
In my eyes Beauty only gets stronger…

HONORABLE MENTION
Having soaked up
all her memories
whilst dancing
with the man she loved
So many nights remembered
as their souls soared up above
I complemented her red hair
rich emerald green my hue
designer elegance was I
so many compliments I drew
Throughout the years
much joy and laughter
but now I was feeling discarded
just hanging around in her wardrobe
in deepest
darkest
blackness
The only sounds I ever heard
were fluttering wings of moths
Arriving hungry every night
chomping and chewing
her clothes they did ruin
but from me ~ they did not take a bite
My fate not looking good
from conversations overheard
My swan song was for me to be
inside her coffin ~ just her and me
On entering the furnace
we would soar up to the sky
to the arms of her beloved
dancing to the end of love
Well this had been her plan
Until sweet girl Arabella
her precious granddaughter
now coming of age
One day asked my girl
could she please try me on
Now looking more positive
for my final swan song...
So surprised to be taken
back into the light
She gently unpacked me
to my utter delight
Arabella – her grandchild
was trying me on
in this emerald green dress
she shimmered
she shone
and me
~
this Emerald Green Dress
~
Well
~
I was out to impress…
Written 13th July 2019
after gifting my precious Emerald Green Dress to my granddaughter Arabella
now 18 years of age ~ and so the memories will go on…

HONORABLE MENTION
I never knew
By lady Arabella
I never knew how much I needed you until you was no longer there
I never knew how much it would hurt that you act like you don’t care
I never knew what love was until the void no matter what I did could not be filled
I never knew how much it hurt and how much I’d have to be strong willed
I never knew I’d miss you as the sun rises and your not there to say good morning
How heavy my heart feels and how I feel like I’m in mourning
I never knew how much I’d miss our conversations and the way you say my name
I never knew how much I wish you’d feel the same
I never knew how hard your ignorance would hurt
You didn’t have to be so kirt
I tried so hard to be apart of your life and for you to see me
I never wanted to not have you apart of my life and be completely free
I never knew how much I’d think of you and just want to hear your voice and ask if I’m okay
So I could say
I never knew how much I wanted you apart of my life
Even after all this strife
If you’d just listen maybe you could see
I never knew how much I needed you and wanted you to want me
I never knew how much I wish you’d say the same and this nightmare end
I never knew how much I needed you even as my friend
Because when you care it dosnt stop you wanting the best
You wasn’t just like all the rest
And I never knew I needed you and that I wish you could see
But I guess the person I needed dosnt need me
Changes A Poem of reflection
By Lady Arabella
Winter comes and autumn leaves
Just like spring ,When comes a summer's breeze
Night changes into day
The moon comes out as the sun goes away
Change is ongoing throughout nature and life
Sometimes with change comes trouble and strife
Change can also bring something new
And allow us to experience good times too.
Within life nothing is made to last forever
Just like seasons and the weather
sometimes these things have to change
In order to explore other ways to engage.
Life's an ongoing cycle with new experiences to discover
You experience one thing then welcome another
You go from being young to being old
From Warm nights to those that are cold
From being daughters to being mothers
From being strangers and then being lovers.
Life has a way of changing and it's a learning curve.
Change isn't something that we can swerve.
We have to accept change as it allows us to grow
To learn and experience things that without it we'd never know
So although sometimes it's daunting and can be a hard thing to swallow.
There's a reason it happens and today becomes tomorrow.
And when we are ready to accept it embrace it as our own
You'll look back and see how much as a person you have grown
Because nothing ever stays the same
And well I guess change is just apart of life's game.
Hurt people ..hurt people
By Lady Arabella
I hope you learn one day to get over yourself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Stop trying to justify your actions
And use your words not just retraction
Hurting people is not okay
Not when they cared about you a certain type of way
As when you care about someone you help them find there way
You don’t watch them fall
Ignore there call
You actually step into the words you say
Make tomorrow a better day
You would be there even if you caused the pain
Do anything possible to change and regain
Because that’s what happens when you mean the words you say
When you feel a certain way
Through the ups and the downs
You’ll be a reason to smile and a reason to frown
You’ll change to do better and not keep repeating the same pattern
You’ll move heaven , earth and if necessary Saturn
You won’t hurt them or want to keep putting them through the ring
This isn’t Mike Tyson vs Pinklon Thomas and round after round DING DING
Hurt people hurt people and that’s a fact
You go from being on the defence to being on the attack
It’s your very own battle with your head and heart
But that’s how recovery starts
Time reveals people’s true intentions
Without you having to remind or mention
If someone really means the words they say
Then life always manages to find a way
Moving On
By Lady Arabella
Was it hard? She asked
Moving on from the past?
“Yes” I replied, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do
It’s never easy letting go of the things that once meant something to you
But..I couldn’t stay stuck in the ‘what ifs’ and what had gone
So there came a point where I had to learn to let go and move on
At first it was painful and terribly hard to see the road ahead and I felt lost inside
I sat and pondered a while, went back and forth and then took some time to decide
And that’s when I realised, I had a choice if I remained where I was or a choice to move on
I reflected and what had happened could not be changed or undone
So Even though there were Words left unspoken and no apology given to help forgive
And there were times I sat and questioned if things could be different, I soon realised that was no way to live
There was nothing more I had left to give
So, as time passed and the pain and hurt became a little less
It became clearer the what ifs didn’t matter and I had to move forward to progress
So “yes” it was hard but I had to start putting myself first
And in that moment I was taught the importance of self-worth
So “yes” I replied it was hard moving on from the past
But my dear Somethings are sent to teach you so you grow and are not meant to last
Power to the people ????
By Lady Arabella
What do you do when you know somethings not right?
Where does your response take you is it fight or flight?
Do you stand your ground or just walk away?
Allow tomorrow to just be the same or make a path for a new way?
Do you stand tall and make sure the voice of those left behind remains heard
Do you battle and challenge decisions made that are so obscured
Or do you stay silent due to fear of repercussions
If not you who else will have those discussions ?
Even though when you raise your head you still remain unheard
At least you stood up and spread the word
You see ..
To be an advocate is something so profound
As sometimes others stand by and don’t make a sound
But you’ve got to stand up in order to be heard
Hold those accountable for their choices even if your voice is discouraged and deterred
Without people who stand up and fight for what’s right
There’s no way when dawn breaks it casts new light
So don’t be afraid to speak and not let those above divide the truth
Gone are the days of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
look into justice's beautiful face, balance the scales and remind them it’s time to balance out the power
Stand up don’t sit down ..Speak louder let them know you will not hide and cower
Do you ever feel lonely
By lady Arabella
Do you ever feel lonely? They asked
And I replied honestly so said “ sometimes but that feeling never lasts”
In that moment I gave reassurance that It’s okay at times to feel scared especially when what lies ahead is unknown
And reminded them that they may still feel that way sometimes even when one day they will be grown
In that moment I didn’t know what else to say and so did my best and provided reassurance in what I thought was the right way
I said
“Just remember sometimes when you feel sad”
All the people who care about you and all the happy times you’ve had
Sometimes being small can be frightening and you may become confused by the things that don’t add up
And so I continued ..As I watched you sat there silently holding your cup
“ I reminded you that when you feel lonely there will always be someone like me who will care
And in those moments you feel lonely it’s always good to share
“Because sometimes when we can feel that way
We need people to listen and brighten up our day”
And together can always find a better way
“So yes sometimes we all feel lonely but if you need me I’ll be there
To keep you safe, hold your hand and remind you there’s people around you who will always care”
