Return of the shadow
The shadows of darkness have covered my heart
trying to live each day with a piece of me that has been torn apart.
Waking every morning with no desire to see the next day
having my coffee and cigarette with nothing pleasant to say.
Pushing through the day trying to keeping my mind occupied from sadness
another rough day with depressing problems I can't fix starts to bring out my madness.
When the day is done I come home to an empty house, it's so quiet there's not one sound
all the rooms are full of silence, with my day full of madness all I can feel is my head pound.
Sitting in my chair staying up all night dreading to see another day
the same question keeps going through my head " Is there an easier way ? "
The shadow of darkness has once again returned to haunt my life
I'm slowly getting older and im starting to think I'll never find that one and only special wife.

A girl on an Isle
I met a girl
she lives on an isle
I have to tell you
she is certainly wild
A man had hurt her
and wounded her bad
It made her unhappy
and that made me sad
I cant believe
but its easy to see
how much harm
is inflicted by thee
when some think with their body
and not with their mind
they can make a girl
so hard to find
she lives on an isle
I have to tell you
she is certainly wild
A man had hurt her
and wounded her bad
It made her unhappy
and that made me sad
I cant believe
but its easy to see
how much harm
is inflicted by thee
when some think with their body
and not with their mind
they can make a girl
so hard to find

a loud WISPER of silence
I sit here before you a female of age.
yet do you see me or do
you just see this body in a wheelchair.
I have been through so much in my life
I could teach you.
I still have so much more to give.
You are in my room you talk to me
Yet do you know the real me.
I am right here in front of you.
My body has failed me but my mind is strong.
I still have so much more to give
If you would just.........
open your eyes to the possibilities.
If you would just see me
i am right here in front of you.
am i just another patient
do you know my likes and dislikes?
Do you see me and all the possibilities
that i can do and what i could accomplish in my life.
If you would just listen to my cry
if you would just hear me.
Look at me i am right here in front of you
I am waiting for someone anyone to notice me.
yet do you see me or do
you just see this body in a wheelchair.
I have been through so much in my life
I could teach you.
I still have so much more to give.
You are in my room you talk to me
Yet do you know the real me.
I am right here in front of you.
My body has failed me but my mind is strong.
I still have so much more to give
If you would just.........
open your eyes to the possibilities.
If you would just see me
i am right here in front of you.
am i just another patient
do you know my likes and dislikes?
Do you see me and all the possibilities
that i can do and what i could accomplish in my life.
If you would just listen to my cry
if you would just hear me.
Look at me i am right here in front of you
I am waiting for someone anyone to notice me.

About this poem:
I work at a nursing home and get to know my patients. I had a patient who stated no one heard or noticed her but me.Blue Train
tasting the sweet rain tracing down my face...
unitelligible sounds and benign utterances break the silence...
i watch the blue fog slowly move in,
penetrating each and every glance of mine eye...
i watch the blue train slowly pass by ~
soon to chase away the distance between now and then....
acquiring rights of an assumed passenger ~
warming my feet within her cabin's frame,
passing in review before her porters and residents...I ask...
what will they see of me?
who will i let them see?
not me...
not now...
i want to ferry the passageways incognito....
empty and void is how i feel,
still warm to touch,
but too cold to feel...
like this blue train...
like this choking blue smoke...
like the blue cloak of the morning fog.
meloncholy is my mask and mood,
just now...
for this short ride to nowhere.
Gregory

Story of a Tragic Ending
Standing at the doorway with tears in my eyes,
Holding on to the frames, tightly with all of my strength.
I could feel my nails breaking into my flesh,
as it sinks into the wood of the door,
afraid to let go, trying to keep from falling.
Feeling light headed as everything around me begins to spin.
feeling like my legs could no longer hold my weight.
A sensation of floating is taking over.
I can no longer see what's in front of me,
everything seems to be fading.
It's only now i realize that i have not taken a breath.
There's a burning and dryness in my throat,
and i try to take a mouth full of air but nothing,
it's like something is squeezing my lungs.
The tears are now to many to count, i tried again still nothing.
Thinking i should try to make my way inside,
but still no movements in my legs.
I listen as i could barely hear the engine of the car,
as the noise fades into the night.
Feeling a need to run, just run, as fast as i can,
where to i don't know, but i just knew i wanted to see you.
And yet at the same time i wanted to get away.
What should i say, i don't know?
what should i do, i don't know?
But my heart can't stop racing,
with the thought that it's over.
But is it? Is it really, really over this time?
Will i ever see you again?
Will i ever hear your voice again?
The confusion in my head,
matched with the confusion in my heart.
I wish i knew how to feel.
Is it better to hurt, just to keep you around?
Or should i hurt by letting you go?
Questions, questions, questions... racing through my head.
Do i rather be lonely by choice?
Or is it better to be with you, and still be lonely?
Bringing myself back to now,still standing there.
Did i really just tell you that it's over?
Did i just tell you don't call ever?
Would you listen or would you convince me, not to let go.
Would i wake up and realize it was just a dream?
I closed my eyes hoping to make it all go away,
i tried again but nothing.
Thinking if you came back, what would i do?
My heart said to run and hold you tightly,
but my mind can't get pass what you've done,
and the pain you have now caused me.
I finally made it to my bed,
fully giving into the tears and the pain of betrayal.
Never thought that it would end this way.
How will i survive and how will i get through the days without you?
Then i remembered that even though you were in my life,
you were never apart of it, or really there.
Wishing now that sleep would come and take over,
this troubled mind and heart and possibly offer some relief,
to the tormenting pain that's eating away at my insides.
As my eyes grew heavy and begins to close,
I realize that despite everything i still love you,
but now, i also Hate you.
Good night my once night and shining armor,
but now, you're my executioner.
Holding on to the frames, tightly with all of my strength.
I could feel my nails breaking into my flesh,
as it sinks into the wood of the door,
afraid to let go, trying to keep from falling.
Feeling light headed as everything around me begins to spin.
feeling like my legs could no longer hold my weight.
A sensation of floating is taking over.

About this poem:
This was one of the most painful nights of my life, i had to put this down on paper not that i could ever forget it, but because i survived it.
When Tears Dare Fall
When tears dare fall
But only manage to well
In your eyes, blurring vision
and all you can handle
Is a sigh, nothing more
as heart feels stabbed
by a dagger plunged
deep into your very soul
senses break down
whole being numbed
like burning candles
weakeness overcomes
jelly-like knees succumb
the pull of the ground
so strong a force
for a weakened one
don't give in
don't give up
pause a minute
breath in and out
send a prayer
Up above
Rest your weary soul
laden with so much sore
Dare not forget
There's One not very far
He sees your heart
He reads your mind
He hears your cries
He feels your pain
For you are His
Own precious kid
Sobbing is your voice!
And tears are your words!
Never discount
Nor under estimate
The power of a language
Only He best understands!

About this poem:
I pray a lot and at times cry...not a lot...but just so I can purge the undesirable out...I prefer doing this over indulging in pointless arguments or making others feel guilty when I don't get what I want...
Through the eyes of a child........
I picked some pretty flowers
to take home to mum
I got soaked with April showers
never knew how fast I could run.
Mum put them in her bestest
vase then gave me a big hug
and told me I was the sweetest
child she ever knew, I was so smug.
Then dad came home drunk again
slapped Mum threw the flowers
to the floor Mum looked in pain
on and on he ranted for hours.
Some kid's have fairy tale lives
with a Mum and Dad
who love each other, and never wield knives
when Dad is dead, I will be glad.

a souring
you have no clue what I’m thinking, girl
you speak to me of your ideal world
our passage of time is fast growing short
with every utter you may retort
I set you straight, you start to scream
you'll soon awaken from this dream
abiding you has tired me
I can't go on like this...you see
your narrow-minded fantasy faded
foundation is crumbling, our life jaded
spoiled little girl...you haven't grown
'pears now it's time for me to move on
think back to that said, our wedding day
that we'd stick together, come what may
those feelings have not stood the test of time
our unknown future was too steep a climb
and I'm through hauling burden up that hill
no more stomach for you, I've had my fill
you speak to me of your ideal world
our passage of time is fast growing short
with every utter you may retort
I set you straight, you start to scream
you'll soon awaken from this dream
abiding you has tired me
I can't go on like this...you see
your narrow-minded fantasy faded
foundation is crumbling, our life jaded
spoiled little girl...you haven't grown
'pears now it's time for me to move on
think back to that said, our wedding day
that we'd stick together, come what may
those feelings have not stood the test of time
our unknown future was too steep a climb
and I'm through hauling burden up that hill
no more stomach for you, I've had my fill

Post CommentLoneliness
I live on an island with many a shore,
I love my children forever more,
Do we see each other or ever meet,
The lottery has more chance to greet,
What is life but a lineage,
do we ever gain much mileage,
Friends and family we adore,
but too life is there much more,
I have memories in my mind that would scare you to death,
You carry baggage in life but not in depth,
Friends and mates that did not escape,
Left you with memories that cannot be scraped,
All my life I have carried these thoughts,
Does it do anything but nought,
Dreams may come and they may go,
But for some it is all a show
I love my children forever more,
Do we see each other or ever meet,
The lottery has more chance to greet,
What is life but a lineage,
do we ever gain much mileage,
Friends and family we adore,
but too life is there much more,
I have memories in my mind that would scare you to death,
You carry baggage in life but not in depth,
Friends and mates that did not escape,
Left you with memories that cannot be scraped,
All my life I have carried these thoughts,
Does it do anything but nought,
Dreams may come and they may go,
But for some it is all a show

About this poem:
when relationship folded and left to ones own devices your mind becomes distorted and the edge of despair floats in and memories you had hidden surface and make their way into your mind.Do you know.. how l feel
Have you ever wonder how I feel
what torment my will
Yes I know I'm a man
and I have to understand
your smile turned me on
your silence turned me off
I do not ask forgiveness for what I've done
although now I'm just alone
I guess, happiness, as a simple emotion
do not live it as an illusion
I know that happiness is contrary to reason
I do not ask forgiveness for what I've done
I carry with me the weight of bad decisions
of immaturity season
in which tomorrow
is made of simple dreams
You have filled my heart, my mind, my will
but you never asked for
how l feel
what torment my will
Yes I know I'm a man
and I have to understand
your smile turned me on
your silence turned me off
I do not ask forgiveness for what I've done
although now I'm just alone
I guess, happiness, as a simple emotion
do not live it as an illusion
I know that happiness is contrary to reason
I do not ask forgiveness for what I've done
I carry with me the weight of bad decisions
of immaturity season
in which tomorrow
is made of simple dreams
You have filled my heart, my mind, my will
but you never asked for
how l feel
