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!
A colourful plant transplanted from her country

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 .
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....
“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
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.

Loving You
No words have been formed to express
The depths of LOVING in me you have left.
All I can do is imagine your welcome reception
Of my life into yours, letting go of the stress.
What separates us is only the fear that
other insignificant matters may take precedent
And somehow alter our personal identity when lent
In LOVING each other...oh, let us reinvent.
LOVING, while unconditional, bruises the soul
But the experience makes us become refined,and whole--
Needing nothing, growing in maturity, passionately entwined--
Joined together---body, soul, and mind.
While LOVING you has afflicted my heart and spiritual space
There is no greater joy this connection could generate
The energy shared between both us so sensually laced
By our Father before there was a date.

About this poem:
This was written to express feelings experienced when love between a significant other has been turned off. It is written to encourage your remembrance of the good the relationship brought to one's life.
Until You’re Gone
I am swimming in a swirling stream
I am sinking into a desperate dream
If only I could save myself
If only I could change myself
If only I didn’t really care
What will help me stay afloat
Empty over the ocean air
And I’m starting to fall
If only I could fly myself
If only I could catch myself
If only I didn’t need you at all
To help keep me in the air
You’ve made me taste my tears
When I have never been so high
You made me happy so many years
Then you pulled me back down
How did this love get so lost
How do I turn it back around
Around and around it goes
Racetrack is my heart going fast
For you I will always lose control
Every time that I found you
Until you're gone…until you're gone
As much as I will miss you
I will never know….until you’re gone
I am sinking into a desperate dream
If only I could save myself
If only I could change myself
If only I didn’t really care
What will help me stay afloat
Empty over the ocean air
And I’m starting to fall
If only I could fly myself
If only I could catch myself
If only I didn’t need you at all
To help keep me in the air
You’ve made me taste my tears
When I have never been so high
You made me happy so many years
Then you pulled me back down
How did this love get so lost
How do I turn it back around
Around and around it goes
Racetrack is my heart going fast
For you I will always lose control
Every time that I found you
Until you're gone…until you're gone
As much as I will miss you
I will never know….until you’re gone

About this poem:
The stormy things in life like love.......
I'll Set You Free
I'll set you free like a butterfly, you'll find your way to your future. Give you freedom to be happy and find what is good for you.
I'll set you free because I'm not worthy for you, I cannot give you happiness and life that you want me to do for you.
Find the future what is right for you without me. I'll set you free because I love you.
Spread your wings like a butterfly, fly high and find your destiny.
Even if it cause pain in my heart,
I'll set you free.
I'll set you free because I'm not worthy for you, I cannot give you happiness and life that you want me to do for you.

Spread your wings like a butterfly, fly high and find your destiny.
Even if it cause pain in my heart,
I'll set you free.

About this poem:
Letting go of someoneThe Ghost of Kissing Bridge (A Terzanelle)
Appearing at a distance I see you standing
many years dressed out of fashion, still watching me
with your golden long hair and green woollen tunic
Myself a child walking home on a rainy day
shadow clouds moving fast across my mirrorred path
many years dressed out of fashion, still watching me
Close by the covered bridge crossing a swollen creek
you are standing, slowly, turning a pale white cheek
shadow clouds moving fast across my mirrorred path
My eyes only stare a second but cannot stay
something stirs me in disbelief to gaze away
you are standing, slowly, turning a pale white cheek
With new courage looking back to where you once stood
may the legend of kissing bridge be understood
something stirs me in disbelief to gaze away
Whenever such a love so great in life is lost
appearing at a distance I see you standing
May the legend of kissing bridge be understood
with your golden long hair and green wollen tunic
many years dressed out of fashion, still watching me
with your golden long hair and green woollen tunic
Myself a child walking home on a rainy day
shadow clouds moving fast across my mirrorred path
many years dressed out of fashion, still watching me
Close by the covered bridge crossing a swollen creek
you are standing, slowly, turning a pale white cheek
shadow clouds moving fast across my mirrorred path
My eyes only stare a second but cannot stay
something stirs me in disbelief to gaze away
you are standing, slowly, turning a pale white cheek
With new courage looking back to where you once stood
may the legend of kissing bridge be understood
something stirs me in disbelief to gaze away
Whenever such a love so great in life is lost
appearing at a distance I see you standing
May the legend of kissing bridge be understood
with your golden long hair and green wollen tunic

Tell me why
why did you lie
You know, you made me cry
With you, I really did give it a try
Why did you say, all was ok
You said I was number one, in your heart
why did you lie
I told you, you're breaking my heart
You said you were sorry
You wouldn't do it again
Why did you lie
We had so many laughs
We were like two little kids
Dancing a jig
You said we make a good team
You kissed me so lovingly
Why did you lie
You text me every day
Always wanting to go out and play
I gave you me all
I asked you to not let me fall
You continued, to have your own private ball
Tell me, why did you lie
This evening, you didn't return my texts
I knew you were with her again
Why did you lie
You said you, lost your phone
I should trust you
Why did you lie
I would rather be alone
You told me, you were A God-fearing Christian man
Why did you lie
Not going to waste my time, saying goodbye
I'm gonna have a good cry,
Put this all behind me,
I deserve a man who doesn't lie
You know, you made me cry
With you, I really did give it a try
Why did you say, all was ok
You said I was number one, in your heart
why did you lie
I told you, you're breaking my heart
You said you were sorry
You wouldn't do it again
Why did you lie
We had so many laughs
We were like two little kids
Dancing a jig
You said we make a good team
You kissed me so lovingly
Why did you lie
You text me every day
Always wanting to go out and play
I gave you me all
I asked you to not let me fall
You continued, to have your own private ball
Tell me, why did you lie
This evening, you didn't return my texts
I knew you were with her again
Why did you lie
You said you, lost your phone
I should trust you
Why did you lie
I would rather be alone
You told me, you were A God-fearing Christian man
Why did you lie
Not going to waste my time, saying goodbye
I'm gonna have a good cry,
Put this all behind me,
I deserve a man who doesn't lie

Post CommentTwo seeds
Two seeds,
whisper on air.
By chance,
settling near.
Two seeds,
water and ground.
They spire,
destiny bound.
Two seeds,
flowers and colours
Entwine,
natures lovers.
Two flowers,
bonding together.
Invinceble,
like life forever.
Two flowers,
caress and catch.
Endless,
a perfect match
Two flowers,
winter of wrong.
Withering,
the seeds are gone.
whisper on air.
By chance,
settling near.
Two seeds,
water and ground.
They spire,
destiny bound.
Two seeds,

Entwine,

Two flowers,

Two flowers,

Endless,

Two flowers,
