Here are my thoughts on love, put into an inspirational quote for YOU. Much love to you today, Clarabelle. Wishing you a fulfilling day filled with pure love.
“Love is the pure essence of life,
without love, we are empty inside”.
(Clarabelle)
Sometimes a few simple words share a whole lot of meaning. The next poem may be short and sweet but the silence between each line speak many heartfelt words. Wishing you a beautiful day, Clarabelle.
Happy and Bright
Beauty is love;
Beauty is light.
Feel it in your soul;
Happy and bright.

I have come across a lot of very beautiful people recently, people who are full of love, light, passion and happiness. I dedicate this next poem to the three people I am thinking about in particular, and their first names all being with the letter “A”. I will call them my three “Angels”, may you continue to bless hearts with your love, you truly are beautiful people. Whatever you are doing today, may you spread a little happiness and love around you. Much love to you, as always, Clarabelle
Beautiful People
I have a happy little feeling, dancing inside;
Beautiful people, are being my guide.
Their love is shining, brightly on me;
Giving me hope, filling me with glee.
***
So when love knocks on your door, greet it with light;
It will sparkle so magically, all through the night.
Uplifting your soul, touching your heart;
A special connection, the missing part.
***
For life is a jigsaw, the puzzle is you;
Once you’ve mastered yourself, dreams can come true.
To share your spirit, with another one;
Unleashes new energy, embrace the sun.
The rainbow is real, a miracle sign;
Thank you loving angels, you are truly divine.

You can always make a fresh start moment to moment, by living in the now and using your mindfulness to change your immediate thinking. It is always important to remember to come from a place of love, because when you let love run freely from your heart, it will always make sure it does its job. This next poem is inspired by living life now, go on make it happen, because every moment, is a moment to change for the better. Lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
Living Life Now
Living life now;
Frees you from the how.
Just let go;
Let love in you, flow.
Take a step, achieve;
Really do believe.
That you can have it all;
Aim high, stand up tall.
Let worry, pass you by;
There’s a smile, behind your cry.
The pain will come and go;
This, I want you to know.
Today’s a brand new day;
Stay focused and go your own way.

A Wonderful Human Being
Today is the anniversary of my Dad’s passing away in 1997 but I remember it all like yesterday. Even though he suffered with cancer for about 5 years I choose to remember him when he was happy, fit and healthy. What a wonderful human being he was, full of laughter, always singing and loved his family very very much and even though he is not here today I still feel his unconditional love around me, so very abundant and strong. When loved ones leave our life here on earth, I believe their loving spirit still shines upon us, more than we will ever know. Their love is surrounding you right now. Clarabelle
Here is the post which I shared before here on this blog:
His Loving Spirit Lives On
I initially had second thoughts about posting this poem, simply because it is extremely personal to me and tells the true story of my Dad’s fight with cancer over 15 years ago. Sadly, after battling with this disease for 5 years, he passed away on 1 February 1997. The reason why I decided to share this poem is because although it was in some places, painful to write, I do feel other people who have gone through a similar situation with their family members will be able to relate to it and hopefully help them to come to terms with their sad loss and be able to gently move on. I know everyone deals with grief differently and I think it took me about 5 years for the sadness to truly melt away. Now when I think of my Dad, I think of the wonderful, happy and outgoing person he was, this then makes me smile and so proud to be his daughter and part of his life…..his loving spirit lives on in every heart he touched and I know he touched many.
My Wonderful Dad
It was 15 years ago, when you passed away
I must admit, it was my saddest day
My heart felt heavy, from deep inside
I had lost my Dad, I had lost my guide
The tears were painful, unbearable at times
Red bloodshot eyes, were swollen signs
When all alone, I cried out my heart
The deepest sadness, when you did depart
I held your hand, a few days before
And took a last glance back, before I left the ward door
Something told me to look back, when visiting that night
It was 24 hours later, you gave up the fight
I was out with a friend, but didn’t want to go
You told me to ‘live on’ and for the sadness not to show
I came home that night, there was a cold chill in the air
I instantly knew, why no one was there
They were called to the hospital, late that night
You were taking your last breathe, and approaching the light
Everyone was there, except for me
Because I went out, very selfishly
I lived with that hurt, for a few years
Why wasn’t I with you, I cried so many tears
I think it took about 5 years to move on
It was a painful few years, when your presence was gone
But now when I think of my wonderful Dad
I remember the good times, never the sad
I celebrate your life years, there were 58
I was part of 23 and you made them great
You never lived a perfect life, worry got to you
It’s easy to blame, but we didn’t live in your shoes
I think of your singing, I think of your smile
I think of that waistcoat, you wore for a while
You were fond of the mirror, a poser you were
Talking to yourself, as you played with your hair
When you left for work, I missed you right away
When you arrived home, it made my day
You were always positive and friendly to all
You liked to use humour, to break down the brick walls
A charmer you were, fun and caring
A Dad in a million and a little bit daring
You sang at most weddings, with a few whiskys inside
You jigged on the dance floor and flirted with the bride
You loved a laugh and would welcome a crowd
You loved your family, they made you feel so proud
In this physical world, your body is away
In another dimension, your spirit lives on each day
Maybe I can’t see you, but you can see me
You can feel my spirit and its frequency
So I’m sending you this message after 15 years
Life is good Dad, we have no more tears
You are still greatly missed and always will be
You have an extended family, it’s so beautiful to see
As the years go by and the older we get
We must live in each moment, but never will forget
The loved ones of the past, who are present in our mind
Who live in our hearts and are one of a kind
We love you, we miss you and to hold you once more
Would be a dream come true, if you walked through that door
The tears of the past, are now gone forever
They ran down my cheek and joined the river
And as the river flows, my heart does to
It is joined by my soul and reaches out to you
Because on the crest of the wave, there you stand
Holding out your heart and holding out your hand
Thank you Dad, for in me you live
Thank you for the lessons and to others I now give
Live your best life, every moment of every day
Connect with your inner self and listen to what it says
Enjoy the journey, as you sail down the river
Because there are hearts and many hands helping you forever.

When someone close to us dies, often prayer can help us to see through each day until we become strong again and are ready to face the world. I wrote this prayer after hearing about the loss of a friend’s loved one, I hope its sentiment brings strength to anyone who is going through this deep sadness at this time in their life. Love to you Clarabelle.
Prayer for the Loss of a Loved One
Dear God,
I pray that my loved one, is now held gently in your loving arms.
May their soul now be free and abundant with love and light.
Let their happy loving spirit, shine and guide us here on earth.
I pray that my close family and friends, remain strong for each other.
May we continue to be blessed with your loving presence, every moment of every day.
Amen
Life can be full of shocks and surprises, usually when you least expect it. I heard some sad news recently, the unexpected passing away of an adult friend from my childhood. Instantly I thought of the loved ones that are left behind and trying to cope with their loss and sadness. It made me think of how I was able to cope when my Dad passed away many years ago. I wrote this poem in the hope that it will bring some comfort and solace to the grieving family and friends, you are all in my prayers. Much love to you Clarabelle
You’re Never Alone
Today I feel your sadness, it’s present in my heart;
Your loss is very tragic, many tears from you depart.
A sinking soul, with a deeper beat;
Emotions are heavy, no people you want to meet.
Is this real? Is this me?
Questions stir your mind, make you feel crazy.
But let me tell you a secret, one I want to share;
When loved ones leave us, important people do care.
They offer a helping hand, to ease your current pain;
Their love surrounds you, to fill your heart again.
The human spirit comes alive, and reaches out to you;
It shines a light on your darkest days, to help you see it through.
You’re never alone, at this difficult time;
Angels dance around you, until you feel just fine.
So when you close your eyes tonight, and rest your head to sleep;
A warm blanket of love and light, penetrates your soul so deep.

Love Strikes Like Lightning
Loves strikes like lightning, it grows very fast;
Shaking your world, forgetting the past.
Just when you think, all is lost;
Down comes cupid’s arrow, whatever the cost.
The red heart of love, pumps passion into you;
It’s lifting your being, and brings happiness too;
Peace is on your doorstep, calling out your name;
Your soul breathes in life, welcome to the love game.

Poemcasts for YOU
I do hope 2013 is getting off to a great start for you. I am so focused and driven to achieving my goals this year and one of them relates to putting a lot of energy into this blog and making it even better and more impactful for you. I can genuinely and honestly say that I LOVE this blog, I just love working on it, love sharing with you and love reading your comments and your posts too.
Podcast Host
Whilst looking into blogtalkradio this evening, I came across a podcast host, http://www.podbean.com. I got so curious and excited about it and after a good 6 hours playing around with it and voice recording some of my poems, I have now created my own Poemcast website http://poemsbyclarabelle.podbean.com which is directly related to and linked to this blog. I wanted to create podcasts, which as I am sure you have guessed by now, I have renamed to Poemcasts (thanks to a wonderful conversation I had with my friend Tom last year – his idea).
Poemcasting
I think it was Tony Robbins who said the quote “where focus goes energy flows” and I can’t agree more, because my focus on making this blog even better has led me to a new world of Poemcasting!! I share this information with you today, because you may wish to try it out for yourself.
So, if you would like to hear my beautiful Bonny Scotland accent whilst reciting some of my poems, you can.
Below are three links to my most recent Poemcasts for YOU, I do hope you enjoy.
PBC Poemcast 1 – Happiness is the Way
PBC Poemcast 2 – Love is Free-Flowing
PBC Poemcast 3 – Postcards from the Heart
I have also added the above links into the related posts on this blog and I have a lot more to update!!
I am sure I have still a lot to learn but baby steps all the way and I am very excited on this journey.
Much love to you as always, Clarabelle.
Can you understand my broad Scottish accent?

Sometimes when I look into someone’s eyes, I just know if their soul is truly enlightened with love. I know they want to be really happy and maybe look happy on the outside but the window to their soul never lies, it’s all about the inside. I experienced that recently with someone and decided to write this poem for them and send it to them. I hope you like it. May your soul be filled with love and light today. Much love to you Clarabelle.
“Love is Free-Flowing”
I see in your eyes, no light or love;
Dead in the moment, but the rainbow is above.
You attract what you become, not just what you’ve got;
Love is free-flowing, and cannot be bought.
It’s nice to have freedom, choice and dreams;
But to enjoy it alone, bursts a heart at the seams.
Change your direction, take your soul along the path;
There you’ll meet true beauty, and with faith, your other half.
For sometimes we look so hard, and still cannot see;
Sometimes the ‘law of attraction’, works mysteriously.
It’s not in ‘the secret’, or a special treasure box;
It’s not hidden in a cave, or where the wishing well talks.
It’s found in your spirit, and blooms in the sunlight;
It brightens up your mood, full of happiness and delight.
Your paradise of love, will always find a way;
Seek truth in each moment, and loves light will shine on you today.

I was on a creative roll yesterday (08.10.12) and found myself writing five poems in a very short space of time, I love it when that happens. This next poem was the fourth one I wrote, the words just flowed to me, I do hope you like it and it makes some sort of connection with you. May you find beauty in each precious moment of your day. Love Clarabelle
Reveal Your Heart
Reveal your heart, dust it down,
Let the magic escape, around the town.
It will go on a journey, to find a match,
Inspiring souls, before the catch.
And when it comes back, its spirit will sing,
Beautiful true love, to you it will bring.

There is something magical in the air at Christmas time, I just feel a different vibe – for me it is filled with love and it really feels so special and beautiful. May you have an abundance of love in your life over the Christmas Holidays. Mistletoe kisses from Clarabelle.
Santa’s Secrets
Sweet kisses, around the Christmas tree,
Snowflakes sparkle, on you and me.
Santa’s secrets, whispered in my ear,
Reindeer dance, in the sky, with no fear.
The moon is whiter, than the shimmering snow,
The icy waters, glisten and glow.
The eve of Christmas, in all its glory,
Awakens the human spirit, what a loving story.

I’ve been feeling alot of love in the air recently, it’s everywhere around me, it’s abundant, I know I don’t need to search for it, it is always there and you have it within and around you too. In the silence of my heart I drew a picture of love, which then led me on to writing this next poem about love, and I share it with you today. Much love to you Clarabelle.
Love is . . . . .
Love is the fresh air, on my face,
Love is the energy, in this place.
Love can move mountains, travel in time,
Love is a symbol, that’s truly sublime.
***
Love is creation, with all your heart,
Love’s bond is unique, and can’t be broken apart.
Love is truth, and calmness in sea,
Love stops wars, and frustrations in me.
***
Love is free-flowing, and beauty at its best,
Love is mother-nature, putting us to test.
Love is the stars, moon and the sun,
Love is where we belong, love is everyone.
***
Love is me, and love is you,
Love is wholesome, and vibrates in all you do.
Love is the answer, love is the song,
Love just “is”, and has no right or wrong.
***
Love is the journey, and the destination in one,
Love is magnetic, love is pure fun.
Love is in your eyes, and in your precious smile,
Love is your radiance, shining mile after after.
***
Love is joy, and peace from within,
Love is happiness, and the air you breathe in.
Love is the universe, the future of time,
Love is abundant, love is divine.

When you feel emotional pain in your heart, sometimes it is really difficult to get into the Christmas Spirit, I know this because I experienced it for a few years in a row. At that time, I didn’t really want to celebrate Christmas and now I realise that that thinking was all wrong, it didn’t really serve me well. This poem is all about that, release yourself from the heartache and cherish today for what it is, very very special. May the joy of Christmas spirit connect fully to your heart, mind and soul. Lots of love Clarabelle
Christmas after Christmas, the spirit died,
Pain in my head, from all the tears I cried.
No sparkling tree, under the moonlit sky,
A heavy heart, from the last goodbye.
Something felt missing, I let it all go,
Focus was negative, no energy did show.
I had closed the door, to life and all,
Until little robin redbreast, chirped his jingle bell call.
He said…..”Open your mind, to all that could be,
Your spirit is alive, set it free.
Spread your wings, get out of the box,
There’s a twinkle in your heart, its voice does talk.”
Fireworks exploded, I joined the stars,
My Christmas Life on earth, was felt in Venus and Mars.

It’s amazing what can grow out of a tiny little seed. By giving the right care, attention and nutrition, what at first is like a tender little plant, can turn into a strong, gracious and radiant tree. Take a look at yourself, take time to nurture at the roots and this fulfilling nourishment will create an abundance of graciousness and radiance within you. This poem is all about that. Wishing you a fabulous day full of warmth, energy and loving nurture, Clarabelle.
Little Plant
It was passed to me, with love and care,
A tiny seed, no leaves it did wear.
Its eyes perched, above the yellow pot,
Searching for the sun, so warm and hot.
I gave it water, I fed it well,
I’m sure it listened, I could tell.
It grew stronger, day by day,
Branching out, in a wonderous way.
It took time and patience from me,
Then this little plant, turned into a tree.
And now it blooms, in my garden so fair,
Covered in leaves, it no longer is bare.
The right nutrients, did it good,
Sowing seeds with love, is the best food.

‘L.I.F.E.’ = Love It Feel Excited!! This is my motto, it used to be ‘Live It Feel Excited’ but now I feel changing the word ‘live’ to ‘love’ is much more fitting. This next poem is inspired by just that, wishing you an exciting day, love Clarabelle.
Love All Things
I’m excited about life, and all that could be,
Opportunities are abundant, look and see.
A hop and a skip, will help me think,
Free up the body, as quick as a blink.
I sing to the music, my heart plays a tune,
I’m dancing and laughing, under the moon.
***
This world is so beautiful, treasure it all,
Love flows like a river, towards the waterfall.
Time may go fast, so treat it like snow,
It can melt in the moment, like a heart with a glow.
Your body will tell you, if it doesn’t like its fuel,
Look after it well, is the number one rule.
It’s nature’s way, to help us grow,
Love all things, and the love in you will flow.

Sometimes our hidden love for another is so deep, it silently creeps to the surface and rocks our world forever. To ignore this calling would surely haunt the heart for an eternity. Love is often mistaken as a feeling but love is a doing word, to receive love you have to give love..so go on ‘Just Do Love’ and fill your life with the richness it truly deserves. This next poem is all about being brave and opening the door to love.
This love for you, torments my core
I hear it’s knock, upon my door
Do I answer, say hello?
Or keep it hidden, deep below
It hurts sometimes, the emotions are strong
Is this the place, where I belong?
It stops and starts, but the engine has fuel
Do I give out my heart and let love rule?
To be honest, this feels dangerous for me
The fear is greater than to let this love be
But to not let love in, would feel heavy on my heart
Seeing you walk off, feeling sad as you depart
So I’ll be brave, let courage win
I’ll share with you my soul and let love in

Where are you inspiration?
Very dear friends of mine are celebrating 50 years of marriage this weekend, and I wanted to get them a very special gift from me, so I thought about writing them a beautiful poem of their amazing partnership together and putting it in a lovely frame. I share this poem with you today. Love is beautiful, love is memorable and love is all around, I hope you embrace love in your life today. Clarabelle
I Love You
We dance in love, embracing our time together
50 years have passed and we shine, whatever the weather
A glimpse of hope, a sparkle in the soul,
Together as one, now we are whole
The smiles on our faces, tell the story
Of a bond so strong, entwined in gracious glory
We let love in, our hearts did melt
Stars in our eyes, passionately heartfelt
This new chapter in our life, like our wedding day
Is a golden anniversary reflection, of the vows we did say
We celebrate our laughter, and the magic so true
The sweetest memoirs, blossomed from ‘I love you’
[The above poem is especially dedicated to Lucy and Marc on your
Golden Wedding Anniversary]

I have just finished reading the book ‘The Path to Love’ by Deepak Chopra and I wanted to share with you an enlightening quote from the book, “You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love – that is the spiritual goal of life”. This book has expanded my knowledge and widened by perception of life and love and this next poem is inspired by just that. Have a lovely day.
I Am Love
I am love, just let it be
Open your heart, look and see
A journey of knowing, love is here
With no time or space boundaries, there is no fear
Fuel the spirit, show you care
The vision of ‘here’, once was there
The sweet energy of love, flows freely in you
Love is at your core, it’s shining through
poemsbyclarabelle, 1 August 2012
We all have dreams, some of us make them happen and some of us hold on to them in our imagination and never let them go, allowing them to sleep silently in the midst of our minds and that’s okay, if that feels right for you. I would say that I am a dreamer, my dreams make me feel alive, for me I need to take action towards making them come true, because in my opinion, without dreams the world would be a lifeless place. This next poem was triggered by looking at a photograph of an absolutely stunning sunset, it was so hypnotic and mesmerising that I just had to write. This is what the imagination created, I hope it awakens your spirit too.
I watch the sunset, through your eyes
You are full of mystery and surprise
The brightest stars, the highest moon
Sparkling forever, in your cocoon
Your genuine spirit, is shining through
A magical paradise, as I dream of you
I feel your heart, connecting with me
The most powerful magnet, the eyes cannot see
I’m drenched in your soul, the river is deep
Together as one, this moment we shall keep
