Shadow of a man

Money, family and steady job, there was a time when he had it all
But drugs took over and he lost the lot, he lost his way, such a long way to fall
Now he’s got nothing and the local park is where he calls home
Just a bottle of cider and he’s drinking it all alone
Slipped from society and fallen from grace
Pain and anxiety Written on his face
A victim of his life He made a wrong choice
Just a shadow of a man without a voice
When people see him they cross the street
Afraid to let their glances meet
Embarrassed he might ask for change
Or shout out something they find strange
He lives for today as tomorrows too far
It may as well be a dark distant star
He can’t remember the sweet smell of soap
And the love of his life is his dog on a rope
Just an empty man with an empty can
Sitting by whilst his life get’s flushed down the pan
Winter is coming, the rain and the frost
If he can’t find shelter then all may be lost
And when he has died nobody will care
No-one will notice he’s no longer there

alone

eating,sleeping,working and hanging out alone...
makes me weak,makes me sick...
makes me wonder,makes me think...
what a life,there's no use....

a voice is just whisphering,
a sound is just echoing...
what a lonely one...
....just alone....

say it again,
let me hear it...
where are you,
i can't find,i can't see....your close but your so far...
don't leave me,please don't...cause i'm afraid to be alone...

Sad ?

In the land of the 'shamrock' and the 'blarney stone,
where the cattle graze and sheep do roam,
There lives an old man that has made it his home
but he goes to his bed at night.....alone.
That's so sad !!!

Qld Floods

I watch it all
The havoc wrought
of everything in its path.
It tears and rips its
hungry jaws
It also grabs my heart

And I'm so many miles away
Safe
and just a watcher
But what of those who are looking for the ones they have lost
Their lives torn all asunder

Its all so hard to put together
Our thoughts of such a thing
grief,anger,loss
COURAGE
Heroes, new friendships
Support from sources forever unknown
Compassion and kindness that humans find within themselves to express when the stakes are down.
WE ARE NEVER MORE BEAUTIFUL WHEN WE STEP AWAY FROM OURSELVES AND GIVE FROM OUR HEARTS TO OTHERS.

About this poem:
Our capacity as humans to rise to the challenge of what happens to us ,good or bad never fails to astound me. Of course the sadness here and the depth of scarring of such a tragedy can never be underestimated.For some it will be new beginnings.For others too overwhelming to contemplate.

The Lost Diamond

For someone so beautiful, you died so young
Didn't give a moments notice and you're life had just begun
I remember the things that you would do in the past
Mutilate your body with a bloody knifes' slash
You would write dark poetry that only few could read
An outward way angel that felt like the bad seed
I know your reasons for taking your life, for what's been done
But that doesn't make me feel better, you left behind a son
Your father could've kept his hands to himself, I know he's a bastard
And his daughters heart, your heart, he twisted and shattered
I tried to be there for you, tried to console your shame
I still remember the nights that i would cry with you in the rain
And now you're gone, one less diamond to shine in this world of sorrow
I will always love and miss you, holding onto your memory like there's no tomorrow

unhappy housewives

Bars made of stone
make her a prisoner
they are invisible
known only to her

she lives in a place
constructed by money
home and security
the good life and more

if she breaks free
where does she go to
what can she do
a housewife is she

longing to fly
away for a moment
to find her soul
she lost on her way

alone in the world
though marriage and children
security there
but love died long ago

love longs to fly
hearts yearn for freedom
wishing the yesterday
would call back today

to leave on her own
you walk the high wire
no safety net no one
all alone.

my dilema

is it time to share my thoughts
or should i keep it inside
sitting in a dark room
and i wonder why

sitting in my room trying to decide
what should i do for my life
why is making these decisions
take so long to decide on what to do with my life

do i have to follow what people want me to be
or do i can i follow my own path
but why is it to hard for others to accept
what i like to choose deep inside

why is it hard to keep my jealousy at bay
to bury it deep and hold on to it tight
to act all happy but its burning inside
should i let it all out in floods
or should i keep it buried inside

Threadbare.

a piece of me caught onto you
when you told me goodbye.

you expected me to stay,
then to run right after.

full speed ahead, tugging that piece of me;
again, you neglected to even notice
that I am unraveling,
threadbare, becoming
a single thread;
just a thread
trailing

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW!!!!

Like a dark cloud you darkened may days,shaded out all of my light.
Now that your gone..how much better I feel,all of the wrong is made right.
Darness dispair ,I thought that you cared..but in the light things are seen as they should,you were just using me..oh why couldn't I see?I'dd take it all back if I could.
Saddness and gloom, how you have been doomed,were the crys that came from within..So foolish was I to heed to your cry..and take on your burdens and sin.
Never again will you darken my door,never again not like before.
You chose to go,YOU walked away..and I'll never again have something to say.
Dont you remember you did this before,and I was a fool to let you back in.Now again we are here and wont be again, wont go where I've already been.
You brought me such joy, and then came the pain..I will never fall sucker to you ,not me..not ever again.
