Penniless Bench
With a broken body and broken mind
Hobbles crippled into the park to sit
Daily watch feeding some crumbled old bread rinds
To a few friendly birds he'd never quit
Tattered clothing old and out of fashion
A rough, hard weathered look upon his face
His are endless days without much passion
While Passerbys glance away in disgrace
Long ago wounded and now most forgetful
His body wrecked with the passing of time
A great victory no less merciful
Listen every noon the church bells still chime
Pitiful sight whose clothes have such a stench
Sits a great hero on Penniless Bench
Hobbles crippled into the park to sit
Daily watch feeding some crumbled old bread rinds
To a few friendly birds he'd never quit
Tattered clothing old and out of fashion
A rough, hard weathered look upon his face
His are endless days without much passion
While Passerbys glance away in disgrace
Long ago wounded and now most forgetful
His body wrecked with the passing of time
A great victory no less merciful
Listen every noon the church bells still chime
Pitiful sight whose clothes have such a stench
Sits a great hero on Penniless Bench

About this poem:
Reflective of many , old and downtrodden folks who have once servedin wartime only to be left behind by an ungrateful nation. Sad but all
too true.....
Crying
Hush little baby don't you cry.....my mom used to sing and I always wondered why shouldn't I cry when I feel I need to? Kids cry when they fall and need mommy to kiss it better....youngsters cry over heartaches or losing a dear friend....Grown-ups cry when they are happy/sad/frustrated.....I tend to cry alone where nobody can see my tears....I miss having a shoulder to lean on....and I really miss your handkerchief you dried my tears with....it always was "there" with you holding on to me promised that all will be well! You were and always will be the "one true love" of my life.....I miss you-until we meet again!

The Chase Is On
When I run...
I run real fast..
I never turn around ....
I Never look back...
With nothing else on my mind, the chase is on..
Time is lost...
Life is gone...
as you know, we will probably never see each other again .
Im sorry my daughter, this is how it ends...
please forgive me,and the life I lived...
I tried I tried. ..
....I truly did
I run real fast..
I never turn around ....
I Never look back...
With nothing else on my mind, the chase is on..
Time is lost...
Life is gone...
as you know, we will probably never see each other again .
Im sorry my daughter, this is how it ends...
please forgive me,and the life I lived...
I tried I tried. ..
....I truly did

About this poem:
Just something over a cup of coffee..i face myself with feelings and write
No space anymore
People are coming
And leaving our life
Just like trains...
Hypocritical ones and real,
For a moment , like playing games...
Some will go deep
Into your soul
Whilst the others
Are like a going away smoke...
Coming... leaving...
Both leave a mark
In your heart.
But one day
When some of them
Will knock into your door
You will quietly say-
Sorry, there is no space
For you anymore.....
And leaving our life
Just like trains...
Hypocritical ones and real,
For a moment , like playing games...
Some will go deep
Into your soul
Whilst the others
Are like a going away smoke...
Coming... leaving...
Both leave a mark
In your heart.
But one day
When some of them
Will knock into your door
You will quietly say-
Sorry, there is no space
For you anymore.....

About this poem:
I ve just met a lot of bad people for the last month... but also a few of the good ones.....anyway it s a kind of overflowing for my hart
ticking over
as the clock of lfe ticks
love remains a deep emotion
time is always an answer
my eternity beyond love
a standing monument to time
upon the shingles on the shore
staring at the dead remains
of once a beautiful life
even in shells holding beauty
with love I will remain
standing on these silent sands
in its abundance of beauty
clinging to the rock shells
I found my souls peace
staring across the ocean
listening to its silent voice
in all its movements
the whispering of the winds
whistling to me through the trees
the chants of the seagulls cry
so much to live for
breathtaking beautiful in my eyes
looking across its waters
shades of blue white
rising blue waves
its here I listen in silence
touching beauty alone my heart aches
natures love so beautiful
as the seagull cries
standing on these shingles
in one moment of my time
the remains of love
rustling through the trees
my ghosts of the past
speaking in the sad whisper of life
an ocean of time
love remains a deep emotion
time is always an answer
my eternity beyond love
a standing monument to time
upon the shingles on the shore
staring at the dead remains
of once a beautiful life
even in shells holding beauty
with love I will remain
standing on these silent sands
in its abundance of beauty
clinging to the rock shells
I found my souls peace
staring across the ocean
listening to its silent voice
in all its movements
the whispering of the winds
whistling to me through the trees
the chants of the seagulls cry
so much to live for
breathtaking beautiful in my eyes
looking across its waters
shades of blue white
rising blue waves
its here I listen in silence
touching beauty alone my heart aches
natures love so beautiful
as the seagull cries
standing on these shingles
in one moment of my time
the remains of love
rustling through the trees
my ghosts of the past
speaking in the sad whisper of life
an ocean of time

INTERNET LOVE.
INTERNET LOVE.
Into your life I came
not knowing who you were
your name "Angel" so appealing
I wanted to know more.
As time passed by
we chatted and laughed
in the end, realising
that you were more than just a friend.
We grew so close
knowing each others minds
knowing each others hearts
we spoke of love.
Yet in this world
disappointment still calls
no plans can be made
no meeting can be.
Our heads tell us
that this is the way to be
with each having a little corner
forever in our hearts.
So sad is the world
that it cannot be
we still drift alone
if only there was hope..
You stay in your world of uncertainty
your pain at times so obvious
caused by the man you love
the man in your heart.
I stay here in mine
the silence surrounds me
my heartbeat slows
then fades away... I am no more..

This was written with regards to people who fall in love on the net, but never have the chance to meet..only in dreams....enjoy
Gray
---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
Im still looking for Your love between the drops of rain
But from my window all I see outside is pain
I want to believe that there is still beauty here
But just like my faith my hope has disappeared
Not the kind of beautiful we see with our eyes
Because that doesn't matter if the world is dead inside
Between all the the crying and the rain thats falling down
Someone somewhere in the distance is screaming out loud
And through all of their pain I can barely hear Your voice
Its seems to be drowning inside all of this noise
Just the other I turned on the local news
Someone killed innocent little children inside their school
I know this is not the last time and it has happened before
Are we all just expendable and casualties in this war
But today I put my hands together to wipe away the day
And with another prayer I drew a heart around the gray
Im still looking for Your love between the drops of rain
But from my window all I see outside is pain
I want to believe that there is still beauty here
But just like my faith my hope has disappeared
Not the kind of beautiful we see with our eyes
Because that doesn't matter if the world is dead inside
Between all the the crying and the rain thats falling down
Someone somewhere in the distance is screaming out loud
And through all of their pain I can barely hear Your voice
Its seems to be drowning inside all of this noise
Just the other I turned on the local news

I know this is not the last time and it has happened before
Are we all just expendable and casualties in this war
But today I put my hands together to wipe away the day
And with another prayer I drew a heart around the gray

Misunderstood
In a crowded room full of people
I stand laughing among them
Yet I am all alone
Thoughtful and pleasing
No hesitation in giving
Yet misunderstood
Remembered for all that is done
Appreciated for that received
And forgotten quickly
As if a shadow
Has touched their soul
But never been truly seen
I stand laughing among them
Yet I am all alone
Thoughtful and pleasing
No hesitation in giving
Yet misunderstood
Remembered for all that is done
Appreciated for that received
And forgotten quickly
As if a shadow
Has touched their soul
But never been truly seen

A PHONE CALL
On a snowy morning a phone bell rings
she took it and answered
a friend of her talked more and more
about their childhood days and
ever memorable schools days
she waited for an year for that phone call
that day was January first and her birthday.
her friend never forget to call that day
and to talk about their lost life and future.
she was so sad to reveal her to days life
it was rally unexpected as they wish in child hood days
but she forget every thing after her friends call
they shared all memories and hopes
no one can stop their thoughts and feelings
they are so free to talk and share life
bcuz they cannot live without good memories
and that memories gives more hope in their life
and she will be waiting for a phone call on next January first...
that never end as waves of good memories...

About this poem:
Its about two girl friends , who shared their life, and separated after one's marriage....Lost Soul
Dear lost shattered soul
You float around this world carrying a heavy load
Not knowing where you ought to go.
You seem not to fit anywhere
Like a square peg in a round hole
You’re weary and dark
Your light faded long ago
You’ve searched for some small spark
To ignite your presence
But only sadness and anger
Has boiled inside your essence
You’ve turned from darkness to a black hole
Wishing and hoping that your existence would just go
Instead you float on like a single surviving wing
Of an Angel that died long ago
You scream into your darkness
Overwhelmed with pain
That seems to be stronger
With each passing day
You are blind to the brightness
That is consumed within your screams
It battles the darkness
For some kind of way in
Endless tears of anguish and torture
Is all you allow yourself to see
As you question why you should be
You float around this world carrying a heavy load
Not knowing where you ought to go.
You seem not to fit anywhere
Like a square peg in a round hole
You’re weary and dark
Your light faded long ago
You’ve searched for some small spark
To ignite your presence
But only sadness and anger
Has boiled inside your essence
You’ve turned from darkness to a black hole
Wishing and hoping that your existence would just go
Instead you float on like a single surviving wing
Of an Angel that died long ago
You scream into your darkness
Overwhelmed with pain
That seems to be stronger
With each passing day
You are blind to the brightness
That is consumed within your screams
It battles the darkness
For some kind of way in
Endless tears of anguish and torture
Is all you allow yourself to see
As you question why you should be
