The lonely forcefield of life
I'm trapped and who has the key
No way to break free
If you love one another
Talk to one another
Surely this is what you believe
But there's no one to talk to
And no one to walk with
I guess only the Lord's company will do
Maybe he wants me to write
About the lonely forcefield of life

Please don't be taken in,
fooled by this mask that I wear,
by my nervous giggle,
or silly grin.
If you care ..listen for my words that are yet unsaid. Feel free to dig deep beneath my skin
Unlock my heart, break the chains off my feet, and remove my bullet proof vest.
The led weighted armour, and give my sensitive,weary soul rest
There is a still soft voice inside here
and it is just longing to be heard.
There is a heart, still faintly beating.......within this cage
There are dreams.. restrained, alongside wisdom... where love and compassion also reside....not rage.
A treasure hidden deep amongst the ashes, the remains left over from life's refining fire, from the trauma, loss and the pain.
There is also great love, there is peace and pleasure to gain.
Yes, life has thus far
been tough,
and.. yes... the road has been very rough,
but..here..I..am...still standing....still breathing......still believing
that for me the best is yet to arrive...
And as sure as I know
that the moon always makes way for the sun..
i also can trust that this darkness will pass,
and the light..once again..shall.. come.

Our Café’
I wet a tear for a passing Connecting Singles Poet
who pleasured the many with his wit & comments.
A regular decent guy that thought in & out of the box.
He posted an estimate of 722 Poems on C/S.
~ His comments regarding his “Exotic Tea Brew”
& his hanging, swaying bamboo cages with wild women
on Café’s island ~ was entertaining to say the least.
It was a serial adventure awaiting the next chapter
& we awaited on the tips of our toes.
His ongoing chatter regarding comments about his poems
were enjoyed by most ~ and answered by many ~
Lucky are the few to be remembered so well as the
final curtain falls.
Café’ may your next act and adventure in the world beyond,
be worthy of a Poet such as you ~
Your friends on Connecting Singles and I will miss you
too!

Once upon a time I had a broken heart, it was like my soul had been ripped apart.
I picked up the pieces and tried to move on, and inside my head I would play a sad song.
Twice upon a time I had a broken heart, the second time around was no walk in the park.
There wasn't much left to pick up this time, there was just a small piece the size of a dime.
Third times a charm with a broken heart, there's nothing to pick up where do I start?
My blood turned cold like a haunting chill, because without my heart I have no will.

Have people lost their touch on humanity...Or am I just losing my sanity...Take me back to dial phones...And old Victorian homes...

Oh lonely you have hurt me way too many years
Oh lonely why do you hate me
I wish you would just disappear
It seems my prayin' never gets through
Cause every night and day
Lonely I'm still stuck with you
I watch tv them my eyes get tired and I turn away
I could tell someone about lonely but who would believe me
No one did yesterday
I keep pacing back and forth in this little room
Oh lonely why do you hate me
I wish you would just disappear really soon

My heart is heavy ~
You have left an empty space in it.
You will never be forgotten ~
Your humor ~
Your talent ~
Your warm heart ~
The caring and sensitive man that many didn't realize existed.
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND.

When fed up you just wanna throw up your hands
question how much longer you can face life's demands
When so distraught it's arduous getting out of bed
even when wide awake you still feel dead
When anxiety is so overwhelming you wanna scream
your nightmarish life isn't simply some bad dream
When feeling so insignificant you wouldn't be missed
past sick of being screwed before getting kissed
When demons persist you ponder if it's time to quit
desire in every capacity has vanished bit by bit
When suicide infiltrates your thoughts keep them at bay
after reaching your last thread of hope 'Don't Give Way'!

MY NIGHTS
Here alone in the deep dark night
Waiting for the things that give me fright
Nasty memories
Of people lost and gone
And broken affairs
A hundred schemes that came to nought
Of being alone
But not wanting to be a burden
Aware of my age
Of my state of health
And my chances slim
Of reunions
Or new meetings
Of hearts and minds
Hating to be awake
But dreading the dreams
Contemplating life
In the dark
The equation with two x's
What does it mean
The endless enigma of life
Cryptic clues
That cannot be solved
The way of the World
And the suffering in it
And to be able to do nothing
All are sleeping
Drunk or have been paid
Or are getting laid
Or are softly asleep
All but me
A sentinel
In the velvet
Of the night

once his words remind me
tought he was divine one
once his words save me
of the one i was
later his voices spin in my head
show me cool colors of life
i'd never seen
left me speechless
my reality my odd
he refuses em all
my existence
been asked
for an angel i've waited long
yet regret come over
here i'm shattered again
