January 12, 2020 Poem — Sunrise

Sun rises into the dusty sky

The moon aside to say good bye

A new day

A new dream

Hello today

I’m here to stay

You can find me where I am meant to be

Right here

Over there

Everywhere

Come find me

A new day awaits

Together one people

One nation

Human Beings for each other

Suzanne Mondoux

13 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Animal Being

I am Animal Being

Sometimes I struggle

Human Beings see me

Sometimes they don’t

I am Animal Being

A Being, a life, I breath

I live in the jungle, the sea, your home

Look me in the eyes

Feel what you see

I am Animal Being

I disappear you die

You disappear I live

I am mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, insect and human

Part of the same kingdom

Beings — Life

14 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Joyous Expansion

Joyous expansion for all

A moment of glee

In between tears and sorrow

Growth and discovery of the soul

Say hello to a new you in every moment

To know you

To be you

Only you decide

You capture yourself in a moment

Tense and frightened

Alone and isolated

You raise your head

Face the light inside your heart

Amen to you — — it’s you

Only you decide

Your soul expands

Joyous expansion

I walk with you and take your hand

I am you

You are I

Only you decide the extent of your joyous expansion

15 January 2020 Poem of the Day — The Seed of Me

Today I plant the seed of me

Real, authentic, genuine

A raindrop feeds my soul

I gather momentum

I find my way

All life grows

All life transforms

A risk embraced

I plant the seed of me

To be me

To know me

To discover me

No matter what comes and goes

Let it go

Let it come

Let it be

I plant the seed of me

Peace I embrace

Harmony with ‘I’ — the seed of me

A raindrop feeds my soul

Suzanne Mondoux

16 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Colour of the Day

The colour of the day is you

In the love that you show me

In the kisses that you give me

The way you hold me

Only you

The colour of the day is you

Only you

In a moment

The day is new

The way that I move with you

When you hold my hand

We waltz

Our feet barely touch the ground

I lean into you

Only you

The colour of the day is you

I love you

Suzanne Mondoux

17 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Yourself

Sweet surrender to self

Enjoy who you are

Let go and have fun

Feel yourself dancing

Feel yourself laughing

No regrets

It’s ok to be free and wild

Let your hair down and smile

Smile a lot

Smile just for the sake of smiling

Be you

It’s ok

Suzanne Mondoux

18 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Vision of You

Vision of self in the mirror is but one reflection

See how you look from the inside out

See how you feel from the inside out

Decide your emotions

It’s in you to make each emotional decision

Outside of you is just that — — outside of you

Let others decide for themselves — not for you

Feel the image of yourself reflected back at you

It is you the world wants to see

Suzanne Mondoux

18 January 2020 I also wrote this song for a friend. I did not post this song on social media. This song was written for him. For a love of his life.



This love song is for you

This love song is for you my friend

Your heart in mind

Your arms reach wide

I lean into you with each embrace

I hold you closely in my heart

I love my dear old friend

Hmm, whoa, hmm, whoa

This love song is for you my friend

Only a love song for you

We laughed so well together

We really played as children do

My dear old friend I love you

This love song is for you

So short the time I had with you

I see you from the corner of my eye

Smiling at me, helping me along the way

I’ve lived a fine life

You would have laughed at me all the way

This love song is for you

Hmm, hmm, whoa, whoa

Only you my friend found me out

In the depth of your soul I could let go

In the depth of your heart I could love you so

This love song is for you

For you my friend

For you and only you

19 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Moment

A playful moment

An opportunity

A simple moment

An opportunity

A quiet moment

An opportunity

Everything you need is here

Everything you want is done

Everything is you searching for that feeling

It is there for you in every moment

In every breath

A sign of life

A sign of life given to you

Life gives life

An opportunity in every breath

Just for you

Your life

Suzanne Mondoux

20 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Me

Tell me what I know

I’ll tell you who I am

Tell me who I am

I’ll show you who I am

Perceive me in your own image

I’ll crumble and fall before your eyes

It’s not me you are seeing

It is you

Suzanne Mondoux

21 January 2020 Poem of the Day — Unhinged

Let yourself get unhinged

A moment of insane ecstasy

Freeing yourself from bondage

Social bondage

Religious bondage

Peer bondage

All bondage

What can go wrong

Everything

Fantastic

Lunacy

Click, Cling, Clank

Chains unravel

Dragged behind

Dropped

Fear

Worry

Unknown

Discovery

Exploration

Ascending

Unhinge once and for all

Suzanne Mondoux

22 January 2020 Poem of the Day — True to You

Balance Desire Expectation

What you want

Is

Believe and you receive

Remain true to you

Rough waters before you

Remain true to you

Offenses made against you

Remain true to you

Sticks and Stones right at you

Remain true to you

Step forward

Towards you

Remnants of you

Say thank you

All of you, is you

True to you

Fragmented no more

Suzanne Mondoux

22 January 2020

23 January 2020 Poem of the Day — All Bliss

All the joy you search for can be found in a size of teacup

All the love you desire can be known in the love that you give freely

All the life you desire can be experienced in a single breath

That’s all for now — in the now

Release for just a moment

Blissful

Bliss — delicious

Delicious — I want more

Release for just a moment

Suzanne Mondoux

23 January 2020

24 January 2020 Poem of the Day — I love you

You move with the wind

Your entire face smiles

I love you

Your voice soothes me

From Rock n Roll to Opera

You wiggle with delight

You scream with passion

The mic wants more

I want more

We all want more

You sang many songs for us

Then it stopped

When you left this world

You turned to us and smiled and said…

I love you

Suzanne Mondoux

SONGS

25 January 2020 Song/Poem of the Day — Unfinished Love

Come on, where are you

Where have you been

I’ve searched everywhere for you

Where did you go

Why did you go

I’m a lonely soul

I’m a so far away from you

Come on, where are you

Where did you go

I’m here on my own

Show me where to go

You left our love undone

Our story is unfinished

Frightened is a lonely soul

Come on, where did you go

It’s here we belong

It’s here I can be found

I’m here on my own

Come on, where are you

In the shadow of my soul

My breath is like the receding tide

No air to breath

I’m alone out here

In the shadow of my soul

I’m here on my own

It’s all but one love story

Unfinished, unfinished, unfinished

Suzanne Mondoux

26 January 2020 Song/Poem of the Day — Hmm La La

Hmm, ahhh, Hmm, La, La

Hmm, ahhh, Hmm, La, La

The wind in my hair

Run on the beach

I let me body crash into the waves

So strong the current

I drift and drift

Each stroke reaches for the horizon

Hmm, ahhh, Hmm, La, La, La

The sea is dark

I stare up at the stars

They look down at me

I smile with a twinkle in my eye

I float here and there

A rushing feeling of oooh la la washes over me

The stars stare down at me

Oooh la, la, la, la

This rock n roll feeling

I hear the drums

Strumming of the guitar

The violin

It’s found it’s way in

To the rock n roll of oooh la la

Blues to opera

Strip all life from me

Give me hope

Give me life

It’s that rock n roll song that washes over me

Oooh la la la la

Hmm, oooh la la

Break the strings

Pierce those drums

Singing cymbals all around

Crank up the radio

The wind in my hair

My body crash into the waves

I float here and there

Rock n roll keeps me afloat

Opera sooths my soul

Blues eases the melancholy mood

Hmm, la la la, la la

Music is my soul

Oooh, hmm, hmmm

Suzanne Mondoux

27 January 2020 Poem/Song of the Day — A Possible World

Calling on all people

Leave us a with a better world when you go

Look around at the world

Some have perished

Some could stay

It’s a world of complaints and tearing others apart

This can be healed

With kindness and acceptance of one another

What world will you leave for your children

What world do you give your children today

Some will perish

Some will stay

Calling on all souls

Make this world a better place today

See all that is good

See all that is possible

It’s all possible

We make this our world

Our reality for a world available to all

Calling on all people

Calling on you and me

You and me

Together, we make this world a better place

A world for all

It’s possible

Suzanne Mondoux

28 January 2020 Poem/Song of the Day — Playing

Playing with love

Playing with life

Playing, playing, playing

This man is on fire

A man on fire in my life

Hmm, ya, hmm, ya

It’s but a chance

A risk I know

Playing with my heart

Playing with my soul

Hmm, whoa, Hmm, ya

The danger of his love

The danger of his kiss

How wrong can this be

Playing with a man on fire

His tender touch

And sweet kiss

A danger I relive

What bonds me here

To a man on fire

A place of no beginning

A place of no ending

Hmm, whoa, Hmm, whoa

I’m a captive of the illusion

Holding me tight

I struggle to let go

A man on fire at my door

I take his hand

I’ve been here before

With this man on fire

I release my grip

I set him free to set me free

He only existed in the illusion

A man on fire

Hmm, whoa, Hmm, whoa

I shatter the illusion to set him free

Man on fire was my creation

Now on my own

Lonely nights drift away

It’s a wonder I stayed so long

No regrets, no looking back

Hmm, La, la, la

Whoa, La, la, la

My creation

My illusion

No regrets, no looking back

Suzanne Mondoux

29 January 2020 Poem/Song of the Day — How wrong I was

When I see lovers laughing and holding one another I turn away

I look to where I once was

But when I look to close I see what I left behind

It’s where I felt I didn’t belong

How wrong I was

Can you forgive me

I liked to see what else could be

I gave you part of me with no foundation

It’s what I believed I could only give

Despair in my heart

I left you with a heart broken

Now I remember why

You forgave me then

I was not worthy

How wrong I was

My love of a lifetime ago

My heart still beats for yours

When I see lovers laugh and play, now I gaze

I embrace from what I turned away

Now I dream of us

In the shadow of my life, now I look for you

I know where I belong

My mind is clear, my heart is open

How could I have been so wrong

I turned away from the best part of my life

My inner darkness, to where I thought I once belonged

How wrong I was

I forgive me, now I dream of us

It’s your heart my love that brings me home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Suzanne Mondoux

30 January 2020 Poem/Song of the Day — Join the party

Come join the party

We are here to play

Bring your gal, your guy

We’ll party all night

Strumming our guitars and singing our songs

Dance till you drop

Let your hair down

Move to the beat of the drums

Laugh out loud

Be free as though no one is looking

Dance till you drop

Join the party

Feel the ecstasy in the air

You’re floating

You’re gliding

For now you’re mind and body are at ease

Set yourself free

Dance till you drop

Tickle the ivory and sing out loud

Wiggle your bottom

Jiggle all around

Lean into the party

Rejoice rejoice rejoice

Sing out loud

Laugh out loud

Feel the fun

Fell the music in your veins

Join the party

Rejoice rejoice rejoice

Dance till you drop

Suzanne Mondoux

31 January 2020 Song/Poem of the Day — Speak To Me Softly

Speak to me softly

Hold me in your arms

Keep me close my darling

Hmmm, my darling, hold me tenderly

Never let me go

Speak to me softly darling

Hmm, Whoa, Whoa

Speak to me softly

Kiss me like it’s the last time you’ll ever kiss

Come closer baby

Let me in, let me in

Speak to me softly baby

I love you so

Darling, softly baby, speak to me

Speak to me softly

Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Hmm,

How you can crush my soul

How you can crush my heart

Love can be shattered you know

When you don’t speak to me softly

My darling, hmm, whoa, hmm, who

Ease your words to ease my soul

Stop the rage and end of the pain

My darling, speak to me softly

A tender moment is all that’s needed

All we desire, together our tender moments

You speak to me softly

Darling, speak to me softly

Hmm, whoa whoa whoa

Hmm, whao, softly

Softly darling
