online today!Fifty Shades Darker
Sitting in a steamy spa, my mind was firmly fixed on slowing down just long enough to block out the pain of loosing a loving friend. If you can imagine loosing your best friend, lover and partner for what you perceived as a life time; then you can identify with my loss. Colorful memories shaded my thoughts from picnics to parties closing in on such an elaborate sense of humor. Laughter always filled the empty space, being popular was not important being wanted was. A lot-ta time passed just searching for the right answers wondering why the groundwork layered was not tendered as fresh soil. The thoughts grew bigger as I tried to relax, looking around trying to own the space I was in.
Time and time again I fell victim to the memories and images etched in my mind like a scratched record, only they were real and turning the page would have been great....maybe less painful. Finding a reason to smack down my feelings seem so cheap. How do I catalog all the beautiful memories; how do I dress-down intimate moments; how do I play favorites when all of them were so carefully packaged? The truth is the truth and could never be watered down into just blocks of time....but I'm told time is a healer. I don't remember who won or lost an argument or who looked the most handsome, I do know I only have good feelings inherited from a true relationship.
Footprints were left on my heart that rolled down hill only to crash like an ocean wave, the loss was greater than a Tsunami's destruction. The feeling were so intimidating it crushed my spirit. I was on a reckless manhunt to find myself.....there was no boastful pride, I felt necked deep from within from my soul to my bare feet. The watering-hole of life I once stood in is now empty and shallow, padded with sadness and loss.
I swore I would never fall in love again. I find it hysterically funny and somewhat ironic that I am seeking love again.

You-Know-Who
In return for the love, the love I had for you,
you stabbed me in the chest, an attempt to pierce my heart.
You must've planned it well, deep inside your tiny shell,
and although I live, to dine within this hell,
I stand alone, waiting to rebel.

Time to Move on
Why do we blame ourselves, when others cause us pain
We try our very best; when to them it’s just a game
Try to fix the faults, when really there’s no cure
We give everything we’ve got, and then a little more
Sometimes we need to learn, that it is time to walk away
Say thank you for the memories, there’s nothing more to say
You can not fix what’s broken, if it never should have been
We were blinded by the passion, the truth was never seen
Don’t blame yourself no more, put all doubts from your mind
Although you may always love them, a new love you will find
People will always come and go, from your life and mine
Sometimes we just have to learn, just when to call it time
Another lesson learned, and more wisdom we have learnt
Yes and it’s probably true to say, another bridge we burnt
But as we travel on our way, with all the ups and downs
Would you rather see the smiles, or live with all the frowns
You can not change the future, by trying to bring it from the past
And you can not heal the scars, until forgiveness has been cast
Don’t sit there with your anger; it won’t ever fix your heart
Just remember all the good times, you had back at the start
If you loved them at the start, then you must still really care
So why just hurt yourself, with all the anger that you bare
Life will not stop moving, just because we want it too
We might as well accept it, and move on to something new
We try our very best; when to them it’s just a game
Try to fix the faults, when really there’s no cure
We give everything we’ve got, and then a little more
Sometimes we need to learn, that it is time to walk away
Say thank you for the memories, there’s nothing more to say
You can not fix what’s broken, if it never should have been
We were blinded by the passion, the truth was never seen
Don’t blame yourself no more, put all doubts from your mind
Although you may always love them, a new love you will find
People will always come and go, from your life and mine
Sometimes we just have to learn, just when to call it time
Another lesson learned, and more wisdom we have learnt
Yes and it’s probably true to say, another bridge we burnt
But as we travel on our way, with all the ups and downs
Would you rather see the smiles, or live with all the frowns
You can not change the future, by trying to bring it from the past
And you can not heal the scars, until forgiveness has been cast
Don’t sit there with your anger; it won’t ever fix your heart
Just remember all the good times, you had back at the start
If you loved them at the start, then you must still really care
So why just hurt yourself, with all the anger that you bare
Life will not stop moving, just because we want it too
We might as well accept it, and move on to something new

About this poem:
Wrote this to inspire myself when i became single againLife After Divorce
Just what the hell should we do when we get life back
When will finally get into the light, and out of the black
We live our lives around a life that had restraints
So often for years, we just do it without complaints
One day, just out of the blue, we are single once more
We should be happy, but what to do, I’m just not sure
I don’t want to party, but I don’t want sit an get old
Just not used to knowing that I have no one to hold
Yeah life must go on, and I will not sit and cry
And I promise myself to stop asking God why
So a life that is mine, to just do as I want to
Plan my days around me and Hope, is what I’ll do
Be happy for me, and all that I know I have still got
It doesn’t even mater if the anniversary is forgot
Live life every day, and enjoy every minute as mine
I got the best deal, I got custody of the wine
Life after divorce, oh what a funny thing to say
How things change so quick, when loves gone away
But no hate, no regrets for the years that we had
For the time spent together I’ll always be glad
When will finally get into the light, and out of the black
We live our lives around a life that had restraints
So often for years, we just do it without complaints
One day, just out of the blue, we are single once more
We should be happy, but what to do, I’m just not sure
I don’t want to party, but I don’t want sit an get old
Just not used to knowing that I have no one to hold
Yeah life must go on, and I will not sit and cry
And I promise myself to stop asking God why
So a life that is mine, to just do as I want to
Plan my days around me and Hope, is what I’ll do
Be happy for me, and all that I know I have still got
It doesn’t even mater if the anniversary is forgot
Live life every day, and enjoy every minute as mine
I got the best deal, I got custody of the wine
Life after divorce, oh what a funny thing to say
How things change so quick, when loves gone away
But no hate, no regrets for the years that we had
For the time spent together I’ll always be glad

About this poem:
I think the poem explains why i wrote it
Here Smile
Her Smile
By: Nia
When she smiles at me or to the world
It seems as though her glow illuminates and agitates
A rhythm like a rainbow magically appears in the sky
Magnetically, her smile lights up the world
Not unlike the moon to a dark universe
She step into my life while all alone
Capturing my heart unbeknownst to thee
And her name is MJC
The J is for Jo and yes...I'm missing her
Missing the vocal tone that I've
Become so accustomed to
How could it be wrong for me
To say that I love you?
She said, it's not "normal" for a...
Person wanting or needing to
Call or text his or her love one
After the relationship is over!
Well, tell me then honey
What's normal?
Is it not right for a man or woman to put up
His or "best" fight to save those
Loving moments of happy days
Or, am I to behave as though it's okay or...
Drop it as it's hot?
See, CJ that's a slippery slop, sloop slid to K because all too long we...
As a people simply throw in the towel far too early as I…. cry out
Dry tears because it seems strange to explain the pain
Therefore the tears remain inside...damn I try....hard to hide
My truth from you because wanting to reach out to you
Just to say Hi anytime I'd like is a struggle
Eternally it's a fight and it gets hard at night!
Because I know she hurts too!
I feel and felt like calling up a crew to relate this message
On my behalf...glad I and I came to my senses
Last thing I'd want is for her to get even further pissed
Wishing, praying upon a star that your heart
Won't take all of this in a way that's negative
Perhaps you'll read it entirely and in'ceive it as it's..
Meant to be...ok baby I'll admit it...loneliness...
Is the only feeling momentarily I see
And please don't go there…I'm not in any fashion
Trying to make you feel guilty about anything
Really, I'm simply pouring out and sharing my feelings
To my sister, friend and woman that I love deeply and care about
Whole heartily, so excuse or give me pardon
For this poem being written entirely with honesty
It's only my opinion (yeah) and I'm not clamming to know...
All things and irrespective of what you think of me
Expressing my heart in this vulnerable spiritual state
Her smile reminds me of the uncontrollable...
Laughter of a child tickled to the max
Surely, you've heard that sound before
May I be honest with you lady? You I adore!
No babe, this isn't one of those pressurized poems!
To endeavor a change of heart
One thing is for sure, I don't wanna make you angry
Anymore than you already are!
One last thing I'd care to say
Trust and believe "I wanna respect your wishes
And give you your space
But know this...
It's challenging when all I see is your face!

About this poem:
LOVE
online today!She Breaks my Heart
I'd kid myself - I have now a heart left to break?
(Seven days ago, that night and afternoon).
Your so cold, and do tonight, this heart forsake
With cruelty - (and I'm so glad I saw it soon); -
In too deep already, and on the make
(As now my heart does sink in bluest gloom); -
One night of passion - and then left all alone -
Other hearts I've met - though not a heart of stone.
Seven days ago - do I deceive myself?
You touched me deep inside - one night of passion.
Though now it seems you've left me on the shelf
Or is spite now in lovers back in fashion?
Oh well at least I won't feel all bereft
Even though (it seems) you took my cash in -
I'm just glad I never bought you sapphire
Not out of pocket too much, little liar.
Have you no heart? (Or what is left of it) -
Is it all you want - a one-night stand?
Well I'd go on and put my foot in it
Had you a heart (you say) that you command?
I ask why tomorrow - my worst critic
(Which is myself) my heart you reprimand.
Well, Ms what can I say? Now you've hurt me
Best look for love elsewhere now - well surely?

About this poem:
I had a fling the other night, and now she won't answer her phone, I best forget and "look for love elsewhere".My Broken Window
Outside my broken window, the light begins to fade ...
at least that's how the evening tide makes it seem...
I look into my closed mind ,
to see if I can walk the night ...
to bridge the gap ,
to keep close to me ,
the warm, life giving light...
I look outside my window broken ...
and what remains of this life ,
kneading and treading the old paths,
cognizant and privy to the new ....
with a measure of heart,
standing...with shields of Faith,
Hope and Love,
I will traverse the landscapes before me,
those paths most welcome...and those not.

online today!she Was My Life
She was Dawn
Sunrise was his heart
Her love was morning, the beginning
She was Noon
Midday was hes radiant face
Hes embrace was the pinnacle of my day, all days
She was Dusk
Sunset was hes serenade
Hes bittersweet kiss was twilight, the ending
Now she is Night
Midnight was hes soft goodbye
The pale moon reaches its zenith, in the nothing of my heart.

About this poem:
thinking of youYoung and Sorry
My heart is slain
Surrendered beneath the fangs of my thoughts
That night I changed
There is nothing in this world that remains the same
Except we all bleed in time
The truth explained
Uncertainty, the permanent stain
temptation gains
It was only for a moment that I did wane
All to make me happy
The crack on your looking door
You can blame it on me
The dream that became a sore
You can blame it on me
The love you were looking for
I'm young and I'm sorry
I'M YOUNG and I'M SORRY
Surrendered beneath the fangs of my thoughts
That night I changed
There is nothing in this world that remains the same
Except we all bleed in time
The truth explained
Uncertainty, the permanent stain
temptation gains
It was only for a moment that I did wane
All to make me happy
The crack on your looking door
You can blame it on me
The dream that became a sore
You can blame it on me
The love you were looking for
I'm young and I'm sorry
I'M YOUNG and I'M SORRY

About this poem:
At the time of this writing, I was feeling very remorseful to a young woman I was in communications with. The poem may sound misleading as if I had been unfaithful but that wasn't what I was trying for. I was not trusting enough when I was speaking with this young woman, and I realized how accusatory my words chosen were. I was uncertain of her honesty, and I lost her favor. I wrote this as an apology.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them. They cannot be reproduced without the author's written consent. © Copyright 2001-2024.
