Did You Notice
Take the mask off of faith and you'll see money
Take the mask off love you'll see a friend
No one wants to be serious just funny
But there's nothing funny about the world coming to an end
People let their cars navigate them around
And design their homes to fit a tv on the wall
And no one ever says you've got a call
And the next text message never says it all
Something is missing and what I'm missing you wouldn't know
Like some forgotten language that's never coming back
Did you notice how technology has taken control
People bow their heads to text yet for years no one's noticed a welcome mat
Take the mask off love you'll see a friend
No one wants to be serious just funny
But there's nothing funny about the world coming to an end
People let their cars navigate them around
And design their homes to fit a tv on the wall
And no one ever says you've got a call
And the next text message never says it all
Something is missing and what I'm missing you wouldn't know
Like some forgotten language that's never coming back
Did you notice how technology has taken control
People bow their heads to text yet for years no one's noticed a welcome mat

Post CommentIf I Had A Home
I've got a house but Lord if I had a home
I've got a car and Lord if I had a passenger
I wouldn't drive alone
And every day the early morning sunrise
Is waiting for me to begin
Out of bed and my knees sorely bend
And for an hour I listen to the radio
Then I go for a walk and once the dew is gone
I've got a house to return to but Lord if I had a home
I've got a car and Lord if I had a passenger
I wouldn't drive alone
And every day the early morning sunrise
Is waiting for me to begin
Out of bed and my knees sorely bend
And for an hour I listen to the radio
Then I go for a walk and once the dew is gone
I've got a house to return to but Lord if I had a home

Post CommentCouldn't Esape The Past Couldn't Ride The Future
Couldn't escape the past
Couldn't ride the future and no such thing as a hitchhiker
Without traction you will never know satisfaction
Who writes a story when there will be only one page
The short continuous circle path of poverty
Becomes a dumb down situation
No matter what direction you turn a vehicle
With bald tires you won't get very far
Without traction you'll never meet satisfaction
Couldn't escape the past couldn't ride the future
The summer sun is hotter than usual today
Is it possible the hum of the ac could cause dementia
Couldn't ride the future and no such thing as a hitchhiker
Without traction you will never know satisfaction
Who writes a story when there will be only one page
The short continuous circle path of poverty
Becomes a dumb down situation
No matter what direction you turn a vehicle
With bald tires you won't get very far
Without traction you'll never meet satisfaction
Couldn't escape the past couldn't ride the future
The summer sun is hotter than usual today
Is it possible the hum of the ac could cause dementia

online today!Until We Meet Again
Golden threads of memory of you
Keep running through my mind,
Thinking of the times we shared
Keeps you still alive within my heart
Everyday I miss your smile
Though I see it in a frame
But no one ever can replace
The sweetness and comfort it brought;
My heart still bleeds in silence
Silent tears still flow
What it was to lose you my baby
Only I ever know.
Losing you was unbearable
And still it is the same,
I keeping searching for answers
That no one but God can explain;
Your Memory is a beacon
That guides me through this lonely life
It is a precious keepsake
Embedded in my heart.
Death is a mystery,it tears loved ones apart,
But one thing I know for sure
God has you in his arms,
I have you in my heart.
I know we'll meet again someday,somewhere
Beyond the blue,
Till then I'll find the strength
To live through each lonely day.
Keep running through my mind,
Thinking of the times we shared
Keeps you still alive within my heart
Everyday I miss your smile
Though I see it in a frame
But no one ever can replace
The sweetness and comfort it brought;
My heart still bleeds in silence
Silent tears still flow
What it was to lose you my baby
Only I ever know.
Losing you was unbearable
And still it is the same,
I keeping searching for answers
That no one but God can explain;
Your Memory is a beacon
That guides me through this lonely life
It is a precious keepsake
Embedded in my heart.
Death is a mystery,it tears loved ones apart,
But one thing I know for sure
God has you in his arms,
I have you in my heart.
I know we'll meet again someday,somewhere
Beyond the blue,
Till then I'll find the strength
To live through each lonely day.

About this poem:
In Memory of my Precious daughter who left me 23yrs ago,this day.Time passes but memories never will.
Not
It is not
this body
that you see
that is me
it is I
who lives within
can you see
that is me
this body
that you see
that is me
it is I
who lives within
can you see
that is me

The Poet Weeps
The poet weeps
She has her own way of crying,
Her tears fall in her words,
Sometime she feels them flying,
Like the soulful songs of the birds,
Some people's tears are salted,
As they fall on the cheeks,
Her tears are in the pen,
She writes what she weeps.
She cries the words of her heart,
Her tears come from out of her soul.
She writes quietly in the dark,
Of tears that never show.
A poet's tears fall,
Where they may not be heard.
With a pen she cries,
Each tear becomes the word.
She has her own way,
Of healing her broken heart.
The words come so easy in the dark.
Some people cry salted tears,
As they run down the cheeks,
Words are the tears,
That the poet weeps.

About this poem:
Please add a line. Let it take the poem forwards. Allow it to be as open as possible for the next line that follows. You can add more than one line, but no consecutive additions.Let's see where it leads.
Let's try for about 2/3 weeks worth.
I'll compile and publish it on here at the end of that time.
I saw
I saw suffering today.
It was closed, quiet,
curled up into a small ball,
dressed in thin robes.
I saw suffering today.
His big eyes
looked at me in silence
were looking for help.
I saw suffering today.
When they reached out
begging for help
and more feelings.
I saw suffering today.
And I stood looking from the side
because I was so scared
I couldn't take a step.

Post CommentI Don't Know Where I Am
The river is winding round round
The river is winding round round
The world is spinning round round
And I don't know where I am
The river is looking dirty now
The river is looking dirty now
The world is looking dirty now
And I don't know where I am
The politicians go round round
The politicians go round round
The government is not what our forefathers found
And I don't know where I am
The eagle is slowly flying round round
The eagle is slowly flying round round
Things in the sky are falling down down
And I don't know where I am
The river is winding round round
The world is spinning round round
And I don't know where I am
The river is looking dirty now
The river is looking dirty now
The world is looking dirty now
And I don't know where I am
The politicians go round round
The politicians go round round
The government is not what our forefathers found
And I don't know where I am
The eagle is slowly flying round round
The eagle is slowly flying round round
Things in the sky are falling down down
And I don't know where I am

the end
Feeling it loom
Impending doom
Holding
Not knowing
Controlling
By molding
The shaming, maiming the blaming
Life shadow is waning
See future fading
Cursed burden containing
Close more comes
Filling the heart disabling the lungs
Blaming and shaking
Never show the hating
Humble he stumbles the world at stake
Man faces his making in its wake
Lost inside a tide
Rushing stampede look to hide
Nothing to try
Lie pain and sigh
Hit and bash another one smash
A second peace, fleeting dash
Last words unspoken
The mind left behind broken
In vain a claim lips blame but tame
Now all has gone the soul a slain
With a nod and stare shell hear no care
Leaving to fair into nowhere an existence cutout never there
Impending doom
Holding
Not knowing
Controlling
By molding
The shaming, maiming the blaming
Life shadow is waning
See future fading
Cursed burden containing
Close more comes
Filling the heart disabling the lungs
Blaming and shaking
Never show the hating
Humble he stumbles the world at stake
Man faces his making in its wake
Lost inside a tide
Rushing stampede look to hide
Nothing to try
Lie pain and sigh
Hit and bash another one smash
A second peace, fleeting dash
Last words unspoken
The mind left behind broken
In vain a claim lips blame but tame
Now all has gone the soul a slain
With a nod and stare shell hear no care
Leaving to fair into nowhere an existence cutout never there
