About this poem:
you save me
broken down yet travelling
saw a man wizened gray hairs askew
skinny clothes leather jacket and skin
carrying his most prized possession
a carton of cigarettes
sometimes life is reduced to the basics
see a woman in the mirror
middleaged child face
circles sunken like
unwanted cargo under her eyes
clutching her chocolate bar
along with her cane
down to the basics in the
midst of depression
what are you grasping onto tonight
a shot of tequila
coke and rum
hoping for that fuzzy happy warmth
to make it all numb
maybe some pain pills you've been on them for years
a romance novel that never ends in tears
maybe you lift your hands and give it all to god
or shop till you drop to
stay out of
an empty house
we all or most have our something to make it all right
to fight back the pain in life
get from darkness to light
something to comfort something to warm
something to draw hope from

The Other Side
A tragic passing, with uncertain reason
Lost in time, at the end of the season
Broken into darkness, and trapped under times
Its a sad but sure reality, a sure empty sign
Leaving on the journey, and taken by the light
Cold but tender feeling, with karma now in sight
Faster than a shooting star, no time to save my breath
The only feeling now at bay, this never changing death
Lost in time, at the end of the season
Broken into darkness, and trapped under times
Its a sad but sure reality, a sure empty sign
Leaving on the journey, and taken by the light
Cold but tender feeling, with karma now in sight
Faster than a shooting star, no time to save my breath
The only feeling now at bay, this never changing death

Hi ALL,Just a few thoughts

A Tragic Moment
Life is bold beneath a tragic memory
It unveils strength, a gateway for change.
Tears is a passage for a smile,
Casting shadows of a new life.
Letting go for a ‘love’ shortened by death,
Pain is amenable, tragic yet is amazing.
How a human being able to sustain life,
An era ends, and spring comes forth.
Subject to change is our earthly life,
It’s passing unpredictable, like a thief of the night.
Can we surpass and gain wisdom from it all?
Or prepare and enjoy every event of our passing time?
I prepare not to think of my own destiny.
Rather, enjoy the sunshine, and rain
For both are gifts from above.
Laugh more, absorb new wisdom,
Care more, and create a balance.
It unveils strength, a gateway for change.
Tears is a passage for a smile,
Casting shadows of a new life.
Letting go for a ‘love’ shortened by death,
Pain is amenable, tragic yet is amazing.
How a human being able to sustain life,
An era ends, and spring comes forth.
Subject to change is our earthly life,
It’s passing unpredictable, like a thief of the night.
Can we surpass and gain wisdom from it all?
Or prepare and enjoy every event of our passing time?
I prepare not to think of my own destiny.
Rather, enjoy the sunshine, and rain
For both are gifts from above.
Laugh more, absorb new wisdom,
Care more, and create a balance.

About this poem:
2008 was a challenging time for me. We had deaths in my family and circle of friends. I went to London to care for an illing aunt and when I came back home, I found out my best friend husband was being burried, died from cancer 3 days later,and a week later my uncle died..then another friend just so sudden.
I Can't sleep
I cant eat, I cant sleep
I think about you day and night
Why cant I ever learn
That you will be alright,
Ever since the fight
I wish I could hold you tight
I thought you were the one
I thought you were my boo
But now I know that could never be true
You told me that you loved me
You said you wouldnt lie
You said you wouldnt go out
The night that you got high
You went to that party
Although you said you wouldnt
You tried to drive home
Though you were so drunk that you couldnt
I wish that you were alive
So that I could tell you one more time
That I love you and goodbye
I think about you day and night
Why cant I ever learn
That you will be alright,
Ever since the fight
I wish I could hold you tight
I thought you were the one
I thought you were my boo
But now I know that could never be true
You told me that you loved me
You said you wouldnt lie
You said you wouldnt go out
The night that you got high
You went to that party
Although you said you wouldnt
You tried to drive home
Though you were so drunk that you couldnt
I wish that you were alive
So that I could tell you one more time
That I love you and goodbye

Post CommentFor Amy
I will reach ye down and pull thee from the abyss
To ransom thee from his serpent's kiss
To embrace thee with an angel's wings
And look into eyes that are the jewels of kings
Matchless words -- sweet as rare yield
For you my friend, your virtue I would shield
Thine lips are as a fruit, thine breath like spring
Thine heart becomes my apprentice as I teach it to sing
I would defend thy honor, and go to arms for thee
To take thine wounds and cast them into the sea.
To ransom thee from his serpent's kiss
To embrace thee with an angel's wings
And look into eyes that are the jewels of kings
Matchless words -- sweet as rare yield
For you my friend, your virtue I would shield
Thine lips are as a fruit, thine breath like spring
Thine heart becomes my apprentice as I teach it to sing
I would defend thy honor, and go to arms for thee
To take thine wounds and cast them into the sea.

I often think of you my Dad
I cried a lot when I've been sad
Why did you go I often pray
It was his time I hear them say
When we were young
We had such fun
Playing with you in the noonday sun
With nexts doors kids
And whatsisnames
We played our games again and again
So next time when I feel so sad
I'll think of all the fun I had
With you my dear sweet old Dad
I cried a lot when I've been sad
Why did you go I often pray
It was his time I hear them say
When we were young
We had such fun
Playing with you in the noonday sun
With nexts doors kids
And whatsisnames
We played our games again and again
So next time when I feel so sad
I'll think of all the fun I had
With you my dear sweet old Dad

About this poem:
In loving memory to my Dad, who I hope I will meet again somedayuntitled
The time has come to cherish the memory,
to remember the good times and the bad times,
and all of the things this great woman has done for us.
She has been a mother and a friend for many,
and given to all her family unconditional love,
love that will stay with us throughout our time.
Yet her work with us is now done,
she will carry on to a new place,
where she may watch over and be proud of us.
Be not sad,but happy for her,
as she has recieved her eternal rest,
we part now and live on for her.
Love,
Sean

About this poem:
I wrote this for my grandmother when she died and it was used as part of her ulagy
Goodbye
I have tried to be
What is expected of me
Now I have no energy
To be a part of society
I looked for my lover
Inside my dreams
Under the covers
And in everything
But there was no one there
I have no reason to try
I don't want to awake to open my eyes
I have no tears left to cry
I'm not even sad to say goodbye
I looked to be happy
And nothing else
I looked out
And within myself
But there was no one there
Nothing now can help
It's been too long
Since I talked to myself
Or to anyone
When my blood began to drain
I thought my thoughts would become clear
And as I forgot my own name
I looked in the mirror
But there was no one there
What is expected of me
Now I have no energy
To be a part of society
I looked for my lover
Inside my dreams
Under the covers
And in everything
But there was no one there
I have no reason to try
I don't want to awake to open my eyes
I have no tears left to cry
I'm not even sad to say goodbye
I looked to be happy
And nothing else
I looked out
And within myself
But there was no one there
Nothing now can help
It's been too long
Since I talked to myself
Or to anyone
When my blood began to drain
I thought my thoughts would become clear
And as I forgot my own name
I looked in the mirror
But there was no one there

Black Roses On My Grave
I want to leave this world
Leave it all behind
And I want to have wings, in case
I decided to fly
But I'd rather die, I'd rather die
Than to have to face, another day
And I want to make you cry, just cry
It has to end this way
Just set black roses on my grave
That's the least you can do
After all I gave
I tried to be so perfect for you
But there's nothing I could do
It has to be this way
Leave it all behind
And I want to have wings, in case
I decided to fly
But I'd rather die, I'd rather die
Than to have to face, another day
And I want to make you cry, just cry
It has to end this way
Just set black roses on my grave
That's the least you can do
After all I gave
I tried to be so perfect for you
But there's nothing I could do
It has to be this way
