for nought (four nots)
today my children left me
not a one, for me to find
'haps never to be set free
for I simply t'weren't the kind
yet I held them to my bosom
still none would taste my nectar
not a drop passed to their lips
I never felt young fingertips
was a moody, boorish gray day
each time new birth occured
no bone in me was stirred
I became the great stoneface
not a mother after all
t'was something I abided
I just never felt the call
so now they've up and left me
just a less thing to step over
on my way o'er to the shelf
to find something for myself
no need to share four others
with my pain and misery
mayhaps 'stead they set me free
not a one, for me to find
'haps never to be set free
for I simply t'weren't the kind
yet I held them to my bosom
still none would taste my nectar
not a drop passed to their lips
I never felt young fingertips
was a moody, boorish gray day
each time new birth occured
no bone in me was stirred
I became the great stoneface
not a mother after all
t'was something I abided
I just never felt the call
so now they've up and left me
just a less thing to step over
on my way o'er to the shelf
to find something for myself
no need to share four others
with my pain and misery
mayhaps 'stead they set me free

I Made A Mess Of Me
I made a mess of me.
Its made me harder,
Not smarter.
My life filled with
Ups and downs.
I made a mess of me.
Let truth walk away.
Run away so good at that.
I know what I should do.
But I guess
I like the chaos
within me... not!
Oh GOD!
I made a mess of me.
Will I, can I,
change the mess my lifes in?

About this poem:
When I was young I made a real mess,out of my life.
---lOsT---
The air is there.
but I can not breath.
I have more,more then one needs,
yet empty is the depth of my soul.
Lost from deep within,
feelings being broken,out of control,
succumbed to defeatist.
I just want my warm heart beating,
warm and rapping its regular hadst,
not wondering lost out in the cold.
Happy and free to be myself,
not reckless and sunned from what I believe.
Even my sleep is invaded with tears that are in bedded,
scared upon my face.
I've forgotten how to lay my head,
I need to change somber to shine in order to be fine.
Beat down and in need of some help,
I have to find peace to rest in the place I know best.
Can't leave the house or get out of bed,
I need to get a grip and come back around.
My voice needs to sing,
but I've forgotten the words.
Lonely without my inner self worth.
I've lost the pieces that make me whole.
I just wanna strive in the place that's mine.
Free falling,
making creation of my own life.
Living with my freedom,freedom to fly high.

All I Got
Sometimes I think I want to lie down and die. Options what options, just lay here and cry? Pain passing through me, life passing me by. Saying hello to pain and misery, wave the good life goodbye? I have an appetite for life which makes me feel anorexic. I take my piece of the pie bow my head and bless it. I’m breathless, rude, restless, and reckless. Cool calm and collective, why is life so damn hectic? That’s a question.
Cause I’m going out my mind. It’s not a joke, I’m for real this time. I walk the green mile but I can’t cross this line. But I’m so incapable, I’m so hard to find, I’ve been labeled. I’m singing negro spirituals and children fables. I should take all bets off the table, go for broke. Put it all on the line, clear my throat. Full of beer, full of pills, but where the fxxx is the hope.
Hoping that if I pray real hard: God send me a sign, but all I get in return is someone taking what was mine. It hurts; it hurts a lot, with tears flowing from my eyes running to the parking lot. Praying that they stop flowing, are you here for me or not. Seeing my foot prints in the sand cause seemingly that’s all I got; heartbreaks, tears, and snot. So in a sense my futures shot.

Post CommentWe Were...
As slow to pain and so we go,
Strong be our motif but weak be the end of our day,
No one in this Galaxy can pretend nor actually with mort's addendum say,
We did not exist.
Yet...
We are all Dead...
(We just don't know it - Yet.
Harrow the Waning moon,
Life arrives upon the Horizon...
It is not as it was nor ever shall be,
Again.

Post Commentthe cure for loneliness
Starving for a bit of bread?
Or starving for a bit of love?
Lonely and no one there to wipe your tears
and comfort your fears. ..
Dying for a hug?
Crying to have a friend?
But no one to see you die
and no one to hear you cry. ..
Where is all the millions of people on this lonely earth?
Where is all the millions of people to love such a lonely soul?
No one but yourself. ..
And a million others walking pass with out giving a notice.
Screaming deep from with in and no one to reply,
just your lonely self to observe and to witness. ..
My friend. .. the only cure for loneliness is loneliness itself. ..
Journey well

About this poem:
Excuse my english, second languageI am a man without good fortune
I am a man without good fortune
My heart can be filled with love for a bit
but then it goes and my heart lands back in the pit
for a while I have something special
then it turns to dust
my heart to beat without love
my soul to remain empty seems to be a must
I pray, i wish, I hope.
but my words are not heard
I feel I am cursed
I will continue to pray, to wish,
and hope One day my curse will be lifted
and my heart and soul will be gifted
My heart can be filled with love for a bit
but then it goes and my heart lands back in the pit
for a while I have something special
then it turns to dust
my heart to beat without love
my soul to remain empty seems to be a must
I pray, i wish, I hope.
but my words are not heard
I feel I am cursed
I will continue to pray, to wish,
and hope One day my curse will be lifted
and my heart and soul will be gifted

Post Commentnightmare
everything was like a dream come true,
then one day everything was so blue.
no one expected, no one even thought,
the worst was about to happen.
it happened so suddenly,
and yet you fought so stubbornly.
we all wanted you to stay,
but your body wouldn't delay.
now you are in heaven,
we are here dreading.
there are days I wonder what did I do,
but I am the one who needs to make it through.
even when it's hard to go on,
our kids needs me to be strong.
I keep looking for you somewhere,
and I wish this was a nightmare.

ALONE
Night after night I miss physical touch
always alone gets to be too much
I ache for someone who SHOWS they care
somebody equally anxious to share
Lonliness is the crippling core of despair
it's where you learn to master the stare
Alone is the last place anyone should be
from my inner abyss I'm unable to flee
Being alone induces you to become bitter
significance parallels the runt of a litter
Thoughts of remedies roam my mind
they too are increasingly harder to find
Alone negates joy synonymous with free
hi-jacked plans I had to be all I could be
It has been said to be just a state of mind
if you concur your a member of the blind
always alone gets to be too much
I ache for someone who SHOWS they care
somebody equally anxious to share
Lonliness is the crippling core of despair
it's where you learn to master the stare
Alone is the last place anyone should be
from my inner abyss I'm unable to flee
Being alone induces you to become bitter
significance parallels the runt of a litter
Thoughts of remedies roam my mind
they too are increasingly harder to find
Alone negates joy synonymous with free
hi-jacked plans I had to be all I could be
It has been said to be just a state of mind
if you concur your a member of the blind
