Lost Trust???
My head is a mess and
my heart is dead.
I try to be fine but,
I just keep dying.
Life has been
a hell of a ride
I don't mean on the good side...
The older we become
The harder it is,
when things come undone,
To begin again...
Trust is a fragile thing,
When it has been stolen by one
The rest is no fun...
Others, that don't deserve
Wind up paying the price,
Not that it's fair,
Just so hard to bare...
my heart is dead.
I try to be fine but,
I just keep dying.
Life has been
a hell of a ride
I don't mean on the good side...
The older we become
The harder it is,
when things come undone,
To begin again...
Trust is a fragile thing,
When it has been stolen by one
The rest is no fun...
Others, that don't deserve
Wind up paying the price,
Not that it's fair,
Just so hard to bare...

online today!Playing the Loners Game
I'm alone and I guess that's okay,
She said she didn't want me anymore,
So, I moved away,
My biggest mistake,--
Playing the loners game
A possible dream becomes a nightmare,
And as that nightmare becomes a fact,
And as the clouds clear from last nights storm in your mind,
You place down the bottle- to watch another sunrise,
Just to damn yourself; no way to justify, you can't go back
You go to bed, lay there,
You can't sleep,
You haven't ate nothing for days, you don't care,
Yet, you know this isn't me,--
Endlessly wondering what to do now?
Which way to present yourself how?
How to wear a smile behind this frown?--
I'm on my own now and I guess that's okay,
She said she doesn't love me anymore,
So, I'm moving farther and farther away,
Yet, knowing I'm not the only fool to blame--

About this poem:
The poem/song I wrote is complicated, yet; understandable. I grew up in the Army traveling from one state to the next, so by the time I hit my teenage years I came to realize that I was/am a loner! I really never belonged or fit in anywhere. The girls liked me and the boys wanted to fight me!! lol Til one day in December of 1988, I met this girl, she was 16 and I was 18; and from that point on life gave purpose! The word loner no longer existed. Unfortunatly, over the span of 30 years being together our love lost it's luster. A little over a year ago she told me she no longer loved, nor; wanted me anymore and that she's felt that way for a long time. When I talked of future travels out of state and perhaps living there for awhile, her thought of travels are to the mailbox! lol
Fallen
Can we ever count our cost,
When this long journey
seem to have been lost
where do you find a smile
to put on your face?
When the truth is on the inside it
feels I've fallen from Grace
Will we ever find our way home,
Or stay stuck in this place,
where hope seem dead and gone.
Would have bid time wait
If only it didn't fly without the glimpse of a smile.
When this long journey

where do you find a smile

Will we ever find our way home,
Or stay stuck in this place,
where hope seem dead and gone.
Would have bid time wait
If only it didn't fly without the glimpse of a smile.

The Garden
Once a dream, a vision you sought after
A colourful plant transplanted from her country
Made it the centre of your garden down here
Your dream came true, the one you showered
With time, with care, with love, with passion
So it settles, flourish, bloom, produce shoots
A vision you thought would always carry on
Yet your sight shifted, attracted by the outside world
Your praises given to strangers, to passers by
The lyrics to your songs soon written for others
It was once the subject of your lines, verses
Shame the adoration never lasted
You started living in a world of your own
Adoring others, lifting them up like stars in your eyes
While your garden suffered of neglect, you were unaware
Your vision of the garden remained just that, a vision
You were never true to your role as resident gardener
You let the weeds grow, forgetting they'd suffocate the whole
The water you gave so scant; your garden had no chance
The caring, the love, the attention, the investment of time
You were simply not dedicated to give enough of that
You chose to invest your time , your praises on other things
Lifting them up in the lines of your songs and verses of your poems
Weak without daily care, now in need with much repair
Only in your head your vision remained
Forgetting your garden, your very own
Has the same needs to remain strong
To continue growing, flourishing, flowering
How could you not have known?
Why act only now? When it's too late?
The plant, your plant waited for years
Somehow you would have noticed.
You would have seen its leaves when they first shriveled
Seen the soil dry, hungry for life-giving moisture
All these happened while you busied yourself.
Showering others with words, respect, attention
Until another gardener cared enough to realize
Your dying garden after-all is worth saving.
If only your vision was coupled with deeds,
The kind of deeds that met your garden's needs
It would have remained alive and yours, forever!
If only, you cared enough to water it daily!

About this poem:
A mother leaving a husband and their children. We wonder why some do that. My heart sunk, like always when we hear something like this, I could not comprehend. They were a perfect couple and never suspected there was any kind of facade. But just this week, she left him and their kids.Some are unable to comprehend how she couldn't see she left a diamond. But who are we to judge? She is a beautiful diamond too, a very good wife and mother for as long as I have known her. But for some of us if there's a need that is not being met; a longing, a void that's never filled; life is not worth-living.
She knows he loves her, she cannot understand why he would not expresses his love for her in a manner that makes her feel loved. He invested so much to have her move from her country and get settled down-under. But like most men; he overlooked her need for him to remain the centre of her world. Knowing her as a confident young woman; he probably presumed she didn't need him to be around most times.
Marriage should never be the end of the romance. Women's needs do not change just because they become wives. They still long to be made to feel special; to remain the subject of their husbands' poems, lyrics of their songs and recipient of their appreciation, adoration and attention. Women's needs to remain in love remains the same all through out, maybe even more once married.
Lucky is the man who knows passion should be re-lit over and over as time goes; her woman will never think of leaving! Most forget that, Some soon start forgetting special dates, starts appreciating other's instead of the one who chose to be with them. This often makes a woman starts feeling unimportant, and usually gives birth to deep-seated resentment. Even confident women still need to hear and made to feel they are loved, special and important.
When the very reasons a woman falls for a man are withdrawn; the feelings/emotions that developed from them usually go away. Love goes away in the absence of the deeds that won someone's heart in the first place. It is very much like baking; the ingredients are what makes the cake...take them away and you have no cake.
He really is a great guy, he probably just did not realise that there are different love languages and if he fails to speak her wife's love language/s; his actions fail to translate into love in a way or language the wife understands.
Friends are still in shock, their heart goes out for the husband and their beautiful children; but after our conversation, they now see her in a better light!
What you didn't have to say
If my arms can't comfort you enough to stay ,Then soar ,If my eyes can't keep you captured in them to not need sight of another ,remain on the other side of my shore, If my shattered pieces on the floor are just dust under your path, walk and don't blink once more ,don't look back ,At last if you can't just see me ,for where I stand in this space ,erase any existence of me ,every thought ,every trace.

About this poem:
It speaks for its self .Letter from under the Water
If you were my friend,
Help me to leave you...
Or if you were my beloved,
Help me to be healed of you...
If I had known
that the sea was so deep,
I would not have dove in...
If I had known
That Love was so perilous,
I would not have fallen in love.
If I had known my end,
I would not have begun.
I longed for you,
So teach me not to crave...
Teach me
how to pull up the roots of your love
From the depths.
Teach me
how tears may die in the eyes,
And love may pass away,
And yearnings commit suicide.
Teach me
How to rebel against you,
And to be saved from the sword of yearning.
I remained after you
A book with torn papers...!
You are all my past and present
And all the days of my living...
My love for you is poetic love
So why do you kill poetry in me?
My love for you is watery
So why do you push me to the rock?
Oh you whom I bestowed the sun’s light,
So why did you give me darkness in return...
I presented you the forests,
So why did you give me the desert?
You tour in the land
While you let the tempest chew my flesh...
I am in the water
While your voice is coming to me
From under the water,
And the resemblances of your face
Coming out for me like a giant,
Coming from the depth of water...
The lines of your hand chase me
Even in water…
Ah, if my memory would drown,
If your face and history would drown
If thousands of things would drown...
Ah how worn out I feel…!
If you were a prophet,
Cleanse me from this spell,
Deliver me from this atheism...
Your love is atheism,
So purify me from this atheism.
O you who depicted life unto me a poem,
And planted your wounds in my bosom,
And took patience away...
If I were so dear unto you,
then take my hand...!
for lo! I am enthralled from my
head to my toe...
If you were strong,
Rescue me from this sea...
For I don't know the art of swimming
The blue waves in your eyes
Dragging me to the depths
nothing remains but the blue color
Blue...
Blue...
I do not have experience in love
Nor do I have a boat...
I am breathing under water!
I am drowning...
drowning...
drowning...
Help me to leave you...
Or if you were my beloved,
Help me to be healed of you...
If I had known
that the sea was so deep,
I would not have dove in...
If I had known
That Love was so perilous,
I would not have fallen in love.
If I had known my end,
I would not have begun.
I longed for you,
So teach me not to crave...
Teach me
how to pull up the roots of your love
From the depths.
Teach me
how tears may die in the eyes,
And love may pass away,
And yearnings commit suicide.
Teach me
How to rebel against you,
And to be saved from the sword of yearning.
I remained after you

You are all my past and present
And all the days of my living...
My love for you is poetic love
So why do you kill poetry in me?
My love for you is watery
So why do you push me to the rock?
Oh you whom I bestowed the sun’s light,
So why did you give me darkness in return...
I presented you the forests,
So why did you give me the desert?
You tour in the land
While you let the tempest chew my flesh...
I am in the water

Post CommentI Love You
I Love You More Than words Could Ever Say
I feel it growing in my heart each and every day
All this Love I feel
Has never felt so real
You give me something no one has Ever given me
It's something You cannot see
Love so strong, and so true
It makes me think of only You
This wonderful feeling You have given me
Makes me want to be with You endlessly
I want to be in your arms each an every day
To feel your warm embrace
It makes me feel so safe from harm
Plus, I Love to touch your face
I Love to look into your eyes
To look through your disguise
To feel your warm hands within mine
As our fingers gently become entwined
Your kisses so soft and sweet
It makes me crave a thousand More
I wonder how your heart keeps a steady beat,
Because mine just soars
I Love the way You let me know
How much You Love me so
I Love how much You care
The Love You show to me is beyond compare,
I Love the way You smile
That compliments your sexy style
My eyes are kept on You all the while
I Love to hear You Say "okay"
You Say it at least once a day
I Love the way You apologize
Because it always makes me realize
That what You did, was done unintentionally,
And that You still Love me
Even though I'm strange
You don't want me to change
You Say that I'm just right
Especially when we're about to fight
I hate to see You mad
I hate to see You sad
It makes me feel so bad
What You feel, I feel
That's because our Love is real
I hate to see You cry
To always have to wonder why?
I'm sorry I sometimes do the things I do
That always make You feel blue
I'm sorry if I hurt You so
My anger is sometimes hard to control
I don't like when You feel insecure
Don't worry so much, because I'm sure
That no one can Ever take your place
Because I Love not only your handsome face,
I also Love the real You inside
There's no way I Could have let You pass me by
Love is A Lonely Place Without You
I know I'm not alone
I should not be afraid
Because I hear your voice
And I know you're there beside me
And so I give my heart
I live to love again
But I can't let go of the way I feel about you
Love is a lonely place without you , I miss you
And you’re almost here and I'm almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
I will never love this way again
If love was ever true
I know it was with you
Because you touched my soul
And you will stay with me forever
No tears no sad goodbyes
There are no reasons why
But I'm holding on
I believe in love eternal
Though I'm moving on
I'm still holding on Translation The poem
I feel it growing in my heart each and every day
All this Love I feel
Has never felt so real
You give me something no one has Ever given me
It's something You cannot see
Love so strong, and so true
It makes me think of only You
This wonderful feeling You have given me
Makes me want to be with You endlessly
I want to be in your arms each an every day
To feel your warm embrace
It makes me feel so safe from harm

I Love to look into your eyes
To look through your disguise
To feel your warm hands within mine

Pure Heart Broke
Pure Heart Broke
I gave my heart so strong and true
vowed to love only you
showing daily the love i had
begging please don't treat me bad
You grew tired of my love,
in the bed of others you broke my heart
but i still held on scared and tight,
that the love i give would make it right
Now i'm confused and torn of heart,
your asking me for another start,
sex is not everything in life and love,
but when its true its making love.
i poured my heart n soul when we made love
my soul melted two becoming one
Now i wonder what could i have done,
begged and pleaded but didn't change it none
i still seek answers i pray my song
please where did my love go wrong
for the wrong reasons you torn me apart
show me that you really love me.
Please heal my broken heart.

About this poem:
i wrote this because i have lived this recently with a woman i gave my all to, but it just wasn't enough....
Please forgive me
I am entangled in longing
eyelid latch
sin of hope
Please forgive me
I still feel the path of your hands
even though you hurt sometimes
eyelid latch
sin of hope
Please forgive me
I still feel the path of your hands
even though you hurt sometimes

Post Comment“When did you leave”
When did you leave
Twilight fell quickly
and the flowers have lost their color.
When did you leave
time stopped in place
not giving a chance for tomorrow.
When did you leave
I began to die slowly
stepping pain
to feel that I still exist.
Twilight fell quickly

stepping pain
to feel that I still exist.
