St James' Park Spring Tulips - Violet Affection

I wish you was here,
sitting in this field of heather
purple haze, violet affection,
which holds so many memories
but alas, not everything last forever
only in dreams

Surfer Dude - Miami Beach - Florida

This is the first stranger whom I've asked to take their picture. Thankfully he said yes and kindly posed for this pictorial masterpiece! (LOL) Joking aside the gentleman who's name I've forgotten has just finished his morning session surfing and was heading home. London is currently enjoying some glorious sunny weather which made me think of the beach and the sea.
Have a great day folks and thanks for stopping by.

Jewish Museum Of Florida - Florida - USA

The JEWISH MUSEUM OF FLORIDA opened in 1995 in a former historic synagogue that housed the first congregation on Miami Beach. Built in 1936, the Henry Hohauser designed building that underwent a two-year restoration for $1.5 million, boasts Art Deco features, a copper dome and 80 stained glass windows. In 2007 the Museum expanded into the original 1929 synagogue next door after a one-year restoration for $1 million. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, the two buildings were connected via a skylighted Bistro. The Museum is much more than beautiful buildings. It is a place that presents its own and traveling exhibits; sponsors cultural and educational programs; houses a Collections & Research Center reflecting nearly 250 years of Florida Jewish history; and communicates Jewish history, art, culture and values to Jews and non-Jews alike in an informal mode. The Museum is also a place where Jews of all ages and stripes discover and reaffirm their rich heritage – thus helping to strengthen Jewish identity and continuity.

Talk, Listen and Accept - A Poem

let’s start by talking,
and I mean talking honestly,
cause being honest and being true,
is the first step forward to having a good conversation.

listen,
and I mean truly listen,
to what's being said,
cause listening is the first step to understanding,

acceptance,
and I mean truly acknowledge,
that something’s are hard to face and even harder to deal with,
acceptance is the first step towards peace,
as it’s the inner peace that we all want.

Talk, Listen and Accept

Let's Pretend - A Poem

Let's pretend,

that you didn't say it,

Let's pretend

that you didn't do that,

Just, let's pretend.

Let's pretend,

that there are no consequences to your actions,

Cause you have a God given right to shit all over me.

Your needs our only what matters,

So, Let us all,

Pretend.

there is a time we all have to stop,

and accept the lie you are living,

I'm not pretending no more.

Let's Pretend

The Lights of a City that Never Sleeps - A Poem

The lights of a city that never sleeps,

can you feel the beat of a million hearts,

of people going about their busy lives,

it's a melting pot of a thousand cultures,

so feel the rhythm,

and hear the song of the city

of the city that never sleeps

Delete - a Poem

to delete,

to remove,

to erase,

to end it,

and to move on.

it leaves a mark, it leaves a scar,

it leave a memory,

that isn’t easy to forget,

remaining there forever.

Somethings stay with you,

despite your efforts to let go.

take one step at a time,

and time will loosen its grip.

and that baby,

would be you.

Is This My Life? - A Poem

I am sitting in the dark

wondering which way to go,

life can be so difficult

but do you really care?

is life just a journey,

to be made on your own?

a series of lessons to be learnt

life can be wonderful,

if you can find someone to love you.

I wanna share my life with someone

someone to make memories

does anyone really know me?

or are they trying to make me someone

that I don't want to be

can they see the damage their words do to me

do they really care?

Is this my life?

a reflection in your eyes

a fleeting moment in time

to be forgotten

as no one really cares

Is this my life?
