rain wash over me and pour my sorrow out of
me..........disorientated today...feel like i am standing in this rain
that is currently falling washing over me as i drown in the droplets
falling from heaven...remembering how we use to play in the
rain...whilst people thought we were crazy to be standing in the
rain...looking up above...the rain was our thing...it was cleansing us
from the world's waste...you were my
best friend...now I am just a girl watching through an open window from a
first story building as the water falls down the pavement onto the
parking lot... I can see all the flashbacks of moments in the
rain...playing and chasing one another......that is what we had, we had
fun together....i was always serious about life & my career, but you
came & teach me something else, something I have forgotten since
growing up and being independent was all I ever knew......I stopped
having fun years ago...but then you entered my life & you showed me
how to have fun again...how to laugh, how to be me in a world that
always want to change me.....sigh...I can just wonder with a smile on my
lips that for awhile I'll always have the fun times we had.....how the
gardens became ours...how we'd sat & talk for hours not caring about
the time...how people would stare at us weird, yet we wouldn't be
bothered...you had teach me a lot of things how to be free and finally
how to come out of my hiding & believe me it's challenging, but I
know I can do this next step of my life...last night I couldn't sleep
& I went & Google something about the universe & most of
those pages I have opened up didn't satisfy my research I am not even
sure why I actually did Google the universe, but for some reason God
works through the web sphere & I came across a very informative
piece & as I read it I saw my own situation I find myself in...Karma
& Relationships...
This topic, extracted from Farley
Malorrus' shows on June 4, 1987, August 12, 1987 and September 19, 1988,
covered various aspects on the subject of Karma and relationships.
Consider that the Universe is a reflection of the self. As the self is
the Universe, the Universe is the self. Meaning; that whatever you are
as an individual, you can really understand what you have in your life
by taking a look around you. For instance, the home, city and
environment you live in, your career, neighbors, friends, family, and
even the bum that lives in the park across the street. Everyone in your
life is literally a reflection of the self. Also, if you feel that your
life is a mess, or that you're going to die, and most things in your
life are negative, scary and freaking you out, then you need to do some
deep Soul searching. This aspect of Metaphysics is Karma because we
create that part of our own Universe which becomes immediately
sensitized by us. Which means that everything in your life is a
reflection of you.
I have learned to become happier when I have
learned to enjoy my solitude. The love that lies within my breast and
plugs into the people all over the planet, instead of having to go out
and find the people, I can feel them in my own apartment or right here
in the control room. If I could share that vibration with you I think
you could find the true key to happiness. You could plug into that
God-force inside yourself that I am talking about.
This is my world where I can be myself & lay out intricate diagrams, in the form of words. This is my home.
A bittersweet coffee taste
A
bittersweet coffee taste
Caffeine
is the flavor of my morning
the flavor I love tasting on your tongue
each
morning watching us hold our cups
in
our hands as you smile this radiance
of
hope filled devotion for me,
but
coffee oh bittersweet coffee taste
in
my mouth since you have left
it’s
all I am tasting the aroma of the
chocolate
velvety taste upon
my
tongue feels different these days
walking
in the morning with a cup
in
hand I no longer feel the smile crest
upon
my lips as coffee becomes more
more
haunting with each passing day.
A
writer needs her caffeine filled morning
or
how would she be able to function
now
that you are gone from her life,
surrendering
my love for you and
only
you as days get bittersweet
no
melodramatic arguments
between
lovers throughout the day
surpassing
the moments that we’ve just walked up
to
each other holding hands
your
hand fitted with mine.
My
ring upon your finger would
have
been magnificent on this
Valentines
morning waking up alone
without
my smile is something
a
bittersweet coffee taste would be.

“It doesn't have to be on Valentine's Day. It doesn't have to be by the time you turn eighteen or thirty-three or fifty-nine. It doesn't have to conform to whatever is usual. It doesn't have to be kismet at once, or rhapsody by the third date.
It just has to be. In time. In place. In spirit.
It just has to be.”
― David Levithan
“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.”I am resetting the things of my past lives. Everything negative that I have ever utter out my mouth about what I am not deserving for where relationships is concern I denounce the negativity & release every past relationship that I have had, I bless them with good fortune, love and abundance that they will reach the desires of their hearts.
“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.”I am sending good vibrations out into the universe as she is the only one that could find me my true mate. I want someone that would love me for who I am and accept me for the unique woman I am... I don't ask much of them, but to be honest with you and always to involve you with life choices...
If you are out there and the universe allow you to hear my words.
I want to love you, to be the one that you can always count on no matter what. I don't just want to be your lover, but also your best friend. I want to grow old with you, raise a family with you. Just love me for what you see beyond the surface..We both are right now in a place that hasn't set us free from all the past had done to us, but today I am releasing the past and hoping my soul mate will come find me.. I am waiting for you, however long it takes, I hope our meeting will be soon as the spiritual realm would shift us and we meet at a place. A place we both would be at the exact moment as you would turn around you would see me and your face would light up, if I see this vision of you just by writing this then I know that God will allow us to meet at the specific time...You will ask me something and I will answer you on that question.. It be the day where serendipity will bring us together I have a feeling we have maybe met already, but it wasn't ready for us to be with each other for us to meet, but now I know I will meet you on some day that our lives would have molded us for that moment.
Love can happen at any moment and I am free from all my past relationships and the people I have been with..My heart will be open to find love once again...Destiny & Fate

“Have you ever noticed that when your mind is awakened or drawn to someone new, that person's name suddenly pops up everywhere you go? My friend Sophie calls it coincidence, and Mr. Simpless, my parson friend, calls it Grace. He thinks that if one cares deeply about someone or something new one throws a kind of energy out into the world, and "fruitfulness" is drawn in. ”
The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.”
Just walk closer to me and come find me...

“Even chance meetings are the result of karma… Things in life are fated by our previous lives. That even in the smallest events there’s no such thing as coincidence.”

BOOK REVIEW
BY CHIMNESE DAVIDS
TITLE: POEMS THAT
FUEL THOUGHTS
AUTHOR/POET: GERT
DIEDERICKS
The poet and his
craft
I am a poet, because poetry gives the opportunity to express
one of my passions, namely to visualize love and freedom in a unique way. Poetry
is an art of words; a discovery of the soul, woven into thought patterns and
embodied by love, the joy of living being merely one of the paths to explore.
Poetry is furthermore a world of self- actualization, whereby the poet comes to
understand the yearning to live passionately in order to internalize the
essence of love and of exultation.
My credo is: “Life is about choices”. We do not necessarily
have a say in what happens to us in this life, though we do have a choice
regarding our reactions toward incidents in our life. I am a free spirit,
independent and only driven by the passion of my heart.
I treasure understanding; the love for wisdom, a need for learning,
respect to all humans through non-judgement and a wish to encounter truth – all
of which is a part of my journey and longing to see beyond appearances, so that
one may unveil the lack of light to bring forth the essence of love through
life. My wish is to heal the healers of this world, to mend broken lives and to
share the abundance of love through words from our Creator’s mind.

About the book
This book is a combination of poems, musings and pondering
seeds I’d like to share with you. All is within the form if expression we call
poetry; thus, many stories are imbedded within. Many of these stories are
draped within my own inner being.
As part of the art of telling stories, we need to delve and
have a real interest in those of whom the stories are told.
By having such an engrossed and dynamic relationship, we can
then learn the true value of the rare and unique interdependency between souls,
which one can say makes us all human.
The journey within minds of similar expression, or finding
integration between the radiant beauty of different emotions, relationships,
connections and energy, follows a fascinating path to discovery.
Poetry is not merely an art, limited to what we should
comply to; much rather it is that which we can express with unlimited
imagination, cognitive grasping and emotional flow of heart, in order to
radiate a little of the light of the most magical soul living inside.
May you enjoy reading this compilation of thoughts as much
as I have loved compiling them, by grace alone?

Love.

Poems that fuel Thoughts by Gert
Diedericks, published by KREATIV SA,
The poetry of Gert Diedericks, poet-photographer of Johannesburg, South Africa, is in the genre I
call reaction poetry: reason and emotion converged into highly philosophical
reflections. According to Gert poetry “gives the opportunity to express one of
my passions, namely to visualize love and freedom in a unique way.”
He demonstrates this statement in his compilation of
poetry, when he explores in a joyous, yet orderly manner the different layers
of being: a placement of the soul within creation and in relation to
co-travellers in the realm called life. His poetry stresses the fact that “life
is about choices”; that we do get the opportunity to direct our lives through
our responses and reactions, following our experiences.
Although Gert is a free spirit, his work shows that
he truly understands patterns of cosmic order and the way our Creator intended
it to be discovered in love and compassion. Every poem of his in this book of
155 pages, fuels intense and deeply spiritual thoughts. None can say it in
better words than the poet himself:
“I treasure understanding; the love for wisdom, a
need for learning, respect to all humans through nonjudgmental and a wish to encounter
truth, all of which is a part of my journey and longing to see beyond
appearances, so that one may unveil the lack of Light to bring forth the
essence of Love through life. My wish to heal the healers of this world, to
mend broken lives; share the abundance of love through words from our Creator’s
mind.”
The different sections of his book are illuminated by
creative, interesting photography that, as his poetry, entices the reader by
sheer perception to embark on a journey of inner discoveries, spiritual
awareness and of personal growth. Of utmost importance to get to the core of
Gert’s world and work, is allowing a connection between sight, sound, emotion
and memory. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenging moods Gert displays throughout
the book: it made me feel that he does not underestimate the intelligence of
the reader.
Gert
Diedericks writes with Light and of Light, and from a deep
gratitude to be alive, and being able to lead readers to discover and
rediscover the “enigmatic wonders of living”. His joy is almost tactile. He
writes not only from a well of wisdom and insight gained by experience, but
also as a kindred spirit, intuitively connected to the greatest of all writers,
our almighty God and Author of the Book of Life.

My review
It took me quite a while to give this elegant poetry book
the attention it truly needed it came to a time when I was in need of these
words to comfort my soul when I was dealing with a relationship/friendship that
meant a lot to me and with understanding my own philosophy in life it was this
book that opened my mind to the things beyond the natural. The book is based on
the spiritual realm as the poet takes the reader onto a journey of his own
inner turmoil and his own inner emotions to convey what was hidden deep within.
Within him was laying a craft, words, art, that reflects not just his own life,
but so many of us out there are sitting with life choices, regrets, what ifs, people
we could have loved and people we didn’t give much attention too, losing
someone either through passing onto the eternal life or losing someone because
there season in your life had come to an end.
When I first started with the opening poem
Aha
Sometimes
Within the complexity
Of seeing,
One stumbles upon the simplicity
Of clarity.
Myra Lochner
The anthology is written over thirteen sections of
philosophical verses that would pull you in if you have ever lost and trying to
find yourself in a world that you’ve messed up and trying to get back to the
YOU, you once been. The YOU that is the pure you and the version of who you
have been portraying to the world.
Section Freedom
Inspired
Poem – Friend
This poem I have a deep connection with how you can vision
that one friend that you can just connect with on a level beyond a friendship
more like a kindred spirit. Gert had really portrayed his emotions well in this
poem. Which is one of my favourites?
Poem – Flakes in a
dream
The dimensions we are carried through from one plane to
another, finding our very own true self in a world that can be come very
chaotic. Where our emotions needs a timeout. This is that kind of poem where
you get to journey through different dimensions to find yourself.
Dare to Dream
The title says it all dare to dream of the goals you have
once believed in, dare to dream about finding true love, dare to dream and just
maybe you can let go of everything that keeps you behind in this life.
Just dream and let go…
Spring in your step
I love this poem, it gives me hope that nothing is
impossible that there is always hope for a new love, for a new job, for
anything that you think can’t be achieved.
I love the poet’s words here:
“Follow your heart with a spring in your step.
The love you yearn for is moments ahead:
Listen carefully and choose wise;
An old owl will give you advice.
The road may be rough; the road may be long,
Your spirit and will carry you strong.”
This is only a few and there is still many of this beautiful
anthology that I have saved close to my heart because the words give me hope in
a world lost in veil, as a poet myself and the fact that I have known Gert for
quite sometime and have read most of his poetry on the website Allpoetry~ Gert Diedericks
That is where I have met this fine poet with his charming
glances and words that spreads a multitude of love for anyone of any culture of
gender. His words is inspirational, motivational his heart is pure and in doing
so he creates the most outpouring soulful verses that had been read by many
around the globe.
Gert is a South African, from Johannesburg, this was his first publication
and he outdid himself with this anthology I know for sure there is still many
publications in both his mother tongue Afrikaans and English that will be
written. Be sure to contact Gert Diedericks at gert777@gmail.com if you would like to
purchase a copy of his book.
Gert I truly came to understand what love and light and
Namaste meant since I have met you, our conversations we have shared over the
time period since we have met had always left me with new hope how you as a
person and now also trusting literally mentor and friend that had always given
my work the best reviews and this is my way of thanking you a dear poet and a
beautiful soul that you have really helped me in areas of my own writing
career, passing your knowledge of life onto me a young lady from Cape Town,
South Africa.
Thank you to Myra Lochner also trusting friend and confidant
of both Gert and myself and also our editor from KREATIV SA for the wonderful
words about Gert’s book, “Poems that fuel thoughts”.
Family Ties
Today after 29 years I have come to realize that I am alone in this
life, the only person that knows how I am feeling and with how things is
going to change in my life..Perhaps when I was in a car accident before
I was born God knew why He saved me to create a life that is my own. A
life that has no parents inside of that world when all they try is to
want a certain daughter, my mother my strength and my life that I have
build around her, but I have now found someone else to share that life
with. It might not be with the persons she would want me to be with, but
it is my life and this is how I want it to be to live free from family
ties knowing that for most of my life I have been just known as Davids,
but God knows me as Chimnese its the name that He chose for me to have
and that name is the only thing that makes me stand apart from my
lastnames which ever one I will be carrying at the end of my life.
Family ties: Where does the origin come from meaning where does my bloodline stem from curiosity had always been something as a poet being able to connect to my own soul deriving from that place that is deep inside of me...My philosophy in life is to live a life according to what I can be for myself...I am an independent young lady that loves to explore every area of her life with a carefree spirit. The universe is my philosophy what I portray out there is who I am, no pretense just me nothing more nothing less. Growing up with half of your identity knowing there are parts of who you are out there its like a missing piece of the puzzle that is when I start to add friends to my close knit family to complete the half of me that is still not able to admit that I belong to them.
Whatever comes next in my life with the faith that my special someone is out there lost without memories that I can't push the relationship to a proposal of any sorts... living with hope that my only family is tied to a hospital bed and can't remember my face, living with that hope that perhaps today they will wake up from there sleep and hug me and embrace me one more time.
Family ties doesn't have to be blood related since I have been alone in world that had been haunting me for years, the comfort of knowing I have found real love for the first time in my life and that is the only family i want to raise our own family with and nothing not a parent or an aunt or anyone would stop me of having to give that up..because today I realize that I have been living half a life and not my complete life since all I know is that I was Davids with no recollection of any other family since I was just always known to my one sided family I am now complete that soon I will have my partner and we will build our life together as a family.

Celestial Hope
My mind is overflowing with words that consume me
My life is filled with hope of a new dawn
A new sunset to come and wash over these bruises
Stilling the pressures of my world,
I come undone to your feet as you step on the floor
I bend down to your knees holding my hands up
To the sky above me as heaven and clouds
Moving diagonally, it’s the feeling of hope
Having the notion that all words can be come
An action filled with restoration of the mind
As our senses connects our souls in sync
Love can overcome any obstacle
As the universe gives us our hearts desire
Life is fleeting yet so beautiful in waiting
On the one your heart is destined for
You may be out of reach right now
But you’re with me every day
When I breathe you breathe
When I sigh you sigh,
When I smile you smile
Yet unknowingly of what cause
The crest upon your lips your eyes full of life
Now no longer with dullness sadness
We need restoration, salvation will come upon you
Just hold on for a while it’s not the end of it all yet.
My mind an overflowing of words emotions deriving
Within me I don’t know who I am without you
But nothing is set in stone as of yet,
Our tears melt together, live for us one more night.
Hope is all we are left with and with that faith will see us
through.

Hospital Visit
Since my last post I have said that i met someone new and I did it went well, i fell in love with her and my life changed for the better..sometimes when we in our happy state we never doubt that it could have sadness or even sorrow, but we have to face the reality that there is going to be a bit of both...
My girlfriend is currently admitted to the hospital since I have taken her there on Tuesday, watching the person I love not remembering who I am or who she is..she has lost all her memories..
I couldn't go visit her the other days from being emotionally tired, but imagine how she feels being mentally,emotionally & physically tired of her life and I have been trying so hard to be the stable person to not give up..I don't think I would ever give up on her knowing that when I left her today the sadness was inside of my heart and wearing a smile on my face...
She was sleeping & I brush the of my hand against her cheek and she woke up... she looks at me and all I wanted to do was hold her and embrace her, but I couldn't do that even...
the saddest part is to have enough patience and hope that she will come back to me after she had gained all her memories...
I miss you babe..I love you always...
