Searching for the Flame
SEARCHING FOR THE FLAME
Why do we try to burn a fire with moistened wood?
Looking for the dry spots to ignite?
At times, saturating it, with gasoline..
Oh yes, the dry spots light...
burning brightly for a short time..
Keeping you warm-- Very Warm,
full of hope...
So full of hope- forgetting about the
moistness hidden with in the wood..
Shortly your warm fire is extinguished
More gasoline........
You have hope that your wood-- will soon be
burning brightly....
Only to find yourself let down, though
you know moistened wood does not burn...
How do you know when to stop trying?
Persistence? Or when you run out of fuel?
We try for years and years to rekindle a flame-
Aching to see a spark- fooling ourselves at times..
When we close our eyes and imagine the bonfire
there once was...
When is it time to stop lighting moistened wood?

Sad Poem
I remember her hair
long black and beautiful
dark yet with golden light
in the length of it.
So lovely, liquid and glorious
the luxurious smell of her hair
scented with springtime
jasmine and magnolia.
It has been weeks now
renewed visions of pleasure
what I write is true
I knew the sweet splendor of love.
Calm as a second summer
tonight I see a star
why is it now that i see
just now.
I write for her this poem that begins
with I love you and ends with I love you
somewhere in the middle is a good by
for all the times I hurt her....

About this poem:
Sometimes we miss something when it's not around...Never take love for granted...
BEHOLD! I SPEAK OF LOVE
BEHOLD! I speak of love as one
Who babbles not for sake of sound,
But as a lad who walked her plank
And struggled hard, then slowly sank
As though my limbs were bound.
Behold! I speak of love to warn
Young hearts that blossom in the Spring.
In this the season it is grand,
But can that frail bud withstand
The snow that Winter's bring?
Behold! I speak of love to say
'T'is not a thing that comes by chance.
It must be bought and payments made,
And though the price is never paid,
Take not a backward glance.
Behold! I speak of love again,
That I might mention of the cost.
Though it is great and hard to bear,
If you give up in sad despair
Your equity is lost
Behold! I speak of love to all.
I babble not for sake of speech,
But as a lad who only grinned,
And threw all caution to the wind.
'T'is you I now beseech.
Behold! I speak of love.
Who babbles not for sake of sound,
But as a lad who walked her plank
And struggled hard, then slowly sank
As though my limbs were bound.
Behold! I speak of love to warn
Young hearts that blossom in the Spring.
In this the season it is grand,
But can that frail bud withstand
The snow that Winter's bring?
Behold! I speak of love to say
'T'is not a thing that comes by chance.
It must be bought and payments made,
And though the price is never paid,
Take not a backward glance.
Behold! I speak of love again,
That I might mention of the cost.
Though it is great and hard to bear,
If you give up in sad despair
Your equity is lost
Behold! I speak of love to all.
I babble not for sake of speech,
But as a lad who only grinned,
And threw all caution to the wind.
'T'is you I now beseech.
Behold! I speak of love.

About this poem:
I was 25 years old when I wrote this poem. I lost my beautiful wife and daughter. She was 16 and lied and said she was 19. I was 20. She betrayed me for a wealthy Navy officer. They planned my death. I survived, and learned much about "LOVE" and life.
Where is my heart?
When we seperated
I felt my heart leave
How will I find love again
I am not cruel, you took my heart
How will I find love again
I felt my heart leave
How will I find love again
I am not cruel, you took my heart
How will I find love again

About this poem:
My poem is about my love cheating and taking all I loved away from me.
Unrequited
When I walked down your street again that day
I didn't think your face would be the first one I'd see
I was nearly confused by your smile
By your happy rush to greet me
But you didn't know that I had left to forget you
You didn't know my heart
That I had thought so apparent, so transparent.
(You hadn't ever thought of me in that way.)
So I smiled back at you,
Returned your friendly greeting
Shook your outstretched hand
Chatted about things that did not matter
While searching in your eyes again
For something I would never see
And the pain, which had dissolved over time,
Came back anew
And I knew again
That your friendship was too hard to keep
(And too precious to lose forever.)
There is no answer
When the question is unrequited
I didn't think your face would be the first one I'd see
I was nearly confused by your smile
By your happy rush to greet me
But you didn't know that I had left to forget you
You didn't know my heart
That I had thought so apparent, so transparent.
(You hadn't ever thought of me in that way.)
So I smiled back at you,
Returned your friendly greeting
Shook your outstretched hand
Chatted about things that did not matter
While searching in your eyes again
For something I would never see
And the pain, which had dissolved over time,
Came back anew
And I knew again
That your friendship was too hard to keep
(And too precious to lose forever.)
There is no answer
When the question is unrequited

On The Day Of The Right Year
On the day of the right year
Silence held my bashful heart
That's when you were so near
And closer is not the place for one to part
On the day of the right year
First could have been the time of a kiss
Blinding me now is the trace of my tears
For all I can do is reminisce
On the day of the right year
What caused the chance to break my heart
That's when you were so near
And closer is not the place for one to part
Silence held my bashful heart
That's when you were so near
And closer is not the place for one to part
On the day of the right year
First could have been the time of a kiss
Blinding me now is the trace of my tears
For all I can do is reminisce
On the day of the right year
What caused the chance to break my heart
That's when you were so near
And closer is not the place for one to part

online today!LOVE OF LIFE
Life itself is bigger than any love affair
The magic of being in love may disappear
One partner may become tired of what both share
Leaving the other in a sad state of despair
If you are one with love that is still enduring
Please be thankful each day for what you are sharing
If the love you once shared has come to an ending
Though it may not be easy please stop your crying
The price you are now paying with your suffering
Is not worth someone who is no longer caring
So just wipe away all those tears and start smiling
Lift your head up and see the sun is still shining
Listen to the birds and you will hear them singing
Look at a sunset and enjoy what you're seeing
Feel the glorious warmth of the sunshine on your skin
Enjoy fully the wondrous beauty of living
Even though life may not be peaceful as a dove
Here is something you should always mindful of
Love of life is more precious than all other love
Grasp this sacred treasure with blessings from above

About this poem:
OK, so you and your bf/gf or spouse have broken up, or he/she has died. Though it may not be easy, now it is time to get a hold of yourself and move on with your life.This poem is dedicated to such persons. Remember:
"Love of life is more precious than all other love"
Moments With You
The first time I saw you
I honestly don't feel like talking to you.
You seems so touchy..
Kissing, snuggling is what you always want to do..
And as we started talking
I know there's something special within you
I gave you the chance to prove it to me
How really you are and that i wanted to be..
Feelings got mutual
And seems that we're ok
We spent time together
That makes a happy moments to share
Then one day you left
And it hurts so badly
I tried to fix things
Showing you that everything's gonna be ok
I cried in tears
Living my self in fears
Knowing you for a half year
Is enough for me to get scared. . .

About this poem:
to the guy that almost got me and eventually left me without even leaving a single note..
My Medicine
I've broken all my mirrors, i hate the person i see.
Family aren't the only ones, who miss who i used to be.
the shell of a lonely creature, locked behind traps & walls.
I'm screaming out for help, but no one ever hears me call.
This is no life for me, I'm giving up on hiding.
You want to get to know the REAL me? he lives through my writings.
There may no be a purpose for this, these words may all be in vain.
But your love is the only medication, that can cure me of this pain.

The Inner Strength Of A Woman (How I Admire it)
Someday you’ll cry for me like I cried for you
Ignore me, I’m sad and I’ll make you sad too.
Only tears I will cry
Now that you're not here
How can I continue to try?
I wish I could run away and hide
Of all of this pain I have inside
I've cried oceans of tears
I've wasted so many years
I waited for you to be a man
But instead you only ran.
Someday you’ll miss me like I missed you
How I needed my strength to carry on through
After I gave you my heart, my soul, to push you, phew!
But all you could do was love her too
Someday you’ll need me like I needed you
Someday you’ll love me but I won’t love you.
Ignore me, I’m sad and I’ll make you sad too.
Only tears I will cry
Now that you're not here
How can I continue to try?
I wish I could run away and hide
Of all of this pain I have inside
I've cried oceans of tears
I've wasted so many years
I waited for you to be a man
But instead you only ran.
Someday you’ll miss me like I missed you
How I needed my strength to carry on through
After I gave you my heart, my soul, to push you, phew!
But all you could do was love her too
Someday you’ll need me like I needed you
Someday you’ll love me but I won’t love you.

About this poem:
I was that man that left her. I was that man that man that hurt her. I was that man who lost her.Guys, when you look into the eyes of your soul-mate, when you she touches you and your body tingles, when she kisses you your head spins, and when she whispers in your ear..'I Love You'..You hold her and NEVER let her go, for nothing is worth losing all that for.
I learnt the hard way that is why I am on this site now. If you find a woman with all of the above traits then I suggest that you hold onto her and never let her go.
