Let me trespass…
©copyright2014owpp
This poem was written last night as a result of a very close sibling clamming up when life gets well… what it gets!
I spontaneously resorted back to French (if you’ve followed my blog from the start you know I’m bilingual) feeling this time more comfortable expressing myself in that language after a long period of English.
The two version will be posted here.
I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Let me trespass…
Allow me your presence
Barricade not your life as mine
And cradle your soul to the rhythm of my footstep
Hang your thoughts in the arc of my expectations
To trace a way in the vast plains of hunger.
Share the valleys and peaks
Throwing loneliness to the jackals
To offer alms to the thirsty
She who dozes in the arms of the condemned.
Let us be tempted by union
Building a force to the winds and tides
To be able to nestle in the palm of our hands
The throbbing of our love
The roll of the drums
And reach it out
To a pulsating life…
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Laisse moi trespasser…
Permets moi ta présence
Barricade pas ta vie comme la mienne
Et berce ton âme au rythme de mon pas
Accroche tes pensées dans l’arc de mes espérances
Pour tracer un chemin dans les vastes plaines de la faim.
Partage les vallées et sommets
Jetant ta solitude aux chacals
Pour offrir l’aumône à l’assoiffé
Celle qui somnole dans les bras d’un condamné.
Laissons nous tenter par l’union
Battissant une force aux vents et marées
Pour pouvoir blottir dans la paume de nos mains
Le battement de notre amour
Le roulement des tambours
Et le tendre vers
Une vie palpitante…
I’ve reached the top!
©copyright2013owpp
This time I’ve reached the top & can shout properly out loud! What a relief but what a pleasure to know everything is glowing…
I restored the photos back in the last three categories, Writings, O.a writings, award and celebrations and even polished it further by editing a bit the first few articles which were as my first experiences far from agreeable to the eye 🙂
The whole setting of the articles has changed as I replaced inadequate photos which others more relevant to the subject & of far better quality, even the awards & celebrations category catches the eye by its vivid colors!
There is a big sense of satisfaction for having done the job properly…
This whole adventure got me thinking about growth & life’s journey. This blog has been a long process of stages.
1. I learn how to write, edit & post. I feel I’ve climbed the tip of a mountain
2. I visit other blogs & get advice how to add pictures & compare myself to Einstein for having succeeded
3. I sweat over the blog to add them until it looks brilliant & think this is the end of a grueling but satisfying job.
4. I erase them all again & when I realize my error I feel my blood pressure skyrocketing (I’ve never had problems with that)
5. Now I’m done and feel I can now focus on the million tasks awaiting me that have been postponed for this and wonder if it is the end of a roller-coasters & trying beginnings… I sincerely hope so!
Last but not least I want to thanks you all for your advice, my GB went from overloaded at 76% down to 5%! I am very grateful for your help & support throughout.
As new beginnings require, I am going to change a few things & hope I get your understanding here too 🙂
I am going to have to get on with my painting after focusing on my writing for a whole year which I’ve truly enjoyed & in order to have time for that I’ll have to reduce my “reader” time & liking to one day a week.
I’ll keep you updated with the results & go on posting in the various categories my blog owns.
My deep gratitude goes to all of you, my faithful followers…through thick & thin 🙂
Thank you!
Well, this is how I feel with my blog! The work of a whole year seems to have gone down the drain… the worst part is that I can only be mad at myself ;).
I have put back all the photos in my media as I was instructed to do but it doesn’t show in my posts so, I am just giving up on this blog, in the sense that I’m not going to insert in 400 posts my photos back again and maybe take the advice of a blogger and open another link as oawritingspoemspaintings2 and just do things better this time.
I am very grateful to have very kind bloggers who gave me precious information and now I know not to erase photos from my media,how to check the GB of my media library, know not to put photos that are too large and that videos take a load of GB so, I probably won’t include videos in the new one.
My media has 2.3GB already used out of 3GB (it’s 76%) I’ll go on posting from next week onward and try to work my way through the opening of a new one… wish me luck! This one was created by my oldest so, we’ll see if I can prove to be independent 🙂

This is a post to bring color to our first hesitant spring steps… A bunch of white African daisies to the amazing bunch of followers, viewers, likers, commenters and bloggers I have been following myself and offer much more to me than they can imagine through their informative and constantly inspirational posts.
The numbers are not relevant to everything I have learned as a blogger but gratitude obligates me to give them nevertheless to you.
I reached 7.302 viewers, 677 comments, 185 followers, I don’t know how to check my like numbers but there’s a lot. I have published 265 posts too!
Thanks to all of you for the constant support through my good and more trying times with my Windows 8 difficulties 🙂
Shine on award!

I thank them for their amazing work on their blogs,
truly inspirational, keep it up!
I feel honored, privileged and truly grateful for having received the Family bloggers award from the blogger Sandy of ” Another lovely day ” .
Her blog is a true breath of fresh air, her photos breathtaking and her writing soothing to the heart.
I’m not a flatterer, those remarks are totally sincere. I discovered her blog in the beginnings of my introduction to the blog world
and immediately took to it.
Here’s the link to Sandy’s blog. http://anotherlovelyday.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/overdue-thank-yous-awards-and-a-little-winnie-the-pooh
Well, now I have to use the anagram of the word ‘FAMILY’ to tell about the attributes I bring to the family of bloggers
F. Friendship.
A. Affection.
M. Magic ( one can dream, right ?)
I. Integrity.
L. Love.
Y. Youth.
I hope my blog truly reflects all the above.
My poems surely does speak about friendship, love and affection. Magic is a major part of poetry too. I think it’s all about
visualizing the impossible becoming a reality.
Integrity is something I aspire to and hope it transpires through my works.
Youth is something I’d like to treasure later on in my life ( even today mind you! 🙂 ) and would love my blog to reach
them too.
And last but not least, I’d like to nominate Four other bloggers for the ” Family bloggers award ” and thank them for
their constant support, kindness and inspiration through my beginnings ( and until today ) in the blog world. I know I have missed
out a whole load of amazing bloggers, I’ll nevertheless add another three exceptional ones, besides the strict four of the regulations.

Encouragement, feedback, support
Well, the good side of this story is, that I got so much support from my fellow bloggers that I’d like to thank them in this post for their kind and patient instructions to the new system I still am having slight problems with. ( My 1st photo enlarges but the others go to a restricted area )
I would like to thank, Lizziejoy10 for her constant support since my first steps into the blog world.
Gabi coatsworth for her kind instructions and last but not least, Alice for her equally kind guidance.
Without your support, I would’ve had a much more complicated and harder time!
Thanks again 🙂
So very sorry again but I cannot figure out the new adding photos facility, which means that I cannot post my paintings nor edit my recipes or poems, writings…
Yesterday, my stat chart just appeared by miracle after a long absence but disappeared today again, does anyone have tips?
I hope, soon enough, to be able to figure out everything but meanwhile, as long as it takes, forgive my absence 🙂
I’ll go on ” liking ” and commenting and thanks for all your support!
