in this life

a somber day in this life
nothing makes sense in this life
why do I hurt today from this life

we search for answers we can't find
disease took loved ones that were kind
that empty hole has taken your heart
it's dead right now and needs a start

well I miss them much in this life
to see them smile again in this life
and if they read these words in this life

we search for cures greed and money hide
from companies that put our lives aside
they make medicine without a cure
and if it works it will cost you more!

these sore teary eyes from this life
can't fix this hollow space in this life
to feel like your so alone in this life

we lose our way from the hurt and pain
looking for someone whom is to blame
searching for answers but not in time
a spot on the scan or is it benign

vague memories are left in this life
if I could just freeze time in this life
and what might of been in this life

well theres no easy answer one can find
just live out your life and always be kind
its never too late theres always some hope
even through tough days when its hard to cope

things will be better now in this life
my sun will shine brightly in this life
and if I could believe myself in this life

we need to look past the dark filled skies
look up to the heavens and not question why
in all of lifes creation we start and we end
but whats more important is the love you send

we'll always be here when your time arrives
so live out your life-live it alive!
never look back-move forward and drive!

About this poem:
this poet has a hard time understanding why it always seems that the kind-hearted people seem to get the worst diseases..so i question why? we've all been to this place before..this is just my words,but it still doesn't answer why?

the drowning man

you leave a man for someone else
you ripped his heart out he falls to hell
he screams he screams in agony
but you've become so blind that you can't see
he feels he feels the waters rise
from the weight of tears that fills his eyes

drowning demons pull him down
he takes one breath and then no sound
his lungs fill up with haunting sadness
from a soul thats hurt in all your madness
forgive forgive me-he screams away
as the jaws of darkness consume the prey

as he lies alone on the ocean floor
once filled with life but not no more
drowning demons have left him now
it makes no sense like love somehow
an empty heart but the swellings down
to end a life in a heart that pounds

drowning drowning everywhere
cause in this life no one cares
take his hand this drowning man
it's only then will you understand
don't let go just hold him tight
and watch the bubbles rise to light

break this spell if you really care
and show your love hold back no fear
the ocean's dark and oh so cold
will you take me back would you be so bold
please save me save me I want to live
I've got much to share and love to give

you sound just like a tidalwave
will you rescue me-is it me you'll save
I felt a hand reach down to me
I thought it was the raging sea
you pulled me across the grains of sand
you cared enough to save a drowning man

I am gone

When I lost you,
I lost most of me,
Now I can't find who I used to be,
Though I'm searching desperately,
There was a guy with spark in his eye,
Joking, smiling, laughing at life,
There was a girl he loved so much,
He gave her his heart,
His soul,
His trust,
Because he thought,
He knew who she was,
It fell apart one awful day,
A good honest man went away,
Full of sorrow anger and pain,
He felt he could no longer stay,
Alone inside,
I feel so bare,
Because part of me is no longer there...

Monster(I am)

I am but a monster!
This the most difficult truth to ponder.
I need not fear the darkness or shadows from which I hide,
but that grotesque reflection in the mirror that is mine.
That wicked scoundrel, hater of all that is good!
The ugly beast that everyone but God forsook,
more prone to dark than light,
and to wrong than right,
Tis' me! Destroyer of all, the Devils' plaything,
and professional fool in the making.
I am what all others fear, both man and beast,
for what have I not corrupted, who has taken damage the least?
Whom will speak on my behalf? Whom will plead my case?
I know for me when life is passed, there will be NO grace.
No place in heaven way up yonder,
only hell below for this ol' monster!
J.S.

kingdom

I wish to hold the hand of god
And travel with him
To his kingdom
To be at peace

From life mortal pain
The stresses of life
The curse of germs
That follow mankind

The sickness one canot escape
The mortal infliction man does on to man
The violent storms that blow and wash the earths core
To live on gardens green

To travel with god
At peace I will be
At piece I will be for all time
Till am born once more

dark colours

opening in horror
mouth severing tongue
ruptured emotions
spilling hurt
burning heartaches
teardrops of anguish
no more happiness

inside thorns tear
in torment
inside out
no compassion
with that
of sympathy
blue cold beating
turning dark
as the rose
turns black

as petals fall
ashes of feelings
a rose dies
into embers
falling thorns
from the wound
leaving scars
upon life

black rose
you are barred
there is no place
in your heart
so one says goodbye
to forever part

Remembering the Irish Famine !

Old lichen mottled headstones
Mark the graves of women and men,
Whose genocide sparked Ireland's
Freedom flame,
In their pallid hands
were shovels,
No schooling for a pen,
Fuelled by starving bellies
bow in shame.
Poverty stricken darkened days
of cruel and rampant blight,
The stench of rotten spuds
rose from the clay,
Cold families around a bleak turf fire
another hungry night,
Gaunt faces like potatoes
in decay.
A million sailed from homeland shores
Like wild absconding slaves,
In agony they fled to find relief,
And countless died on coffin ships
Then laid in watery graves,
Consumed by vile disease
And woeful grief.
But memory fades as time erodes
And youth won't recollect,
An hegemonic crown
That gorged on Irish grain,
Our ancestors the starving dead
Oppressed to genuflect,
Interred beneath cold seething clods,
Forgotten not their pain !

About this poem:
In 1845 more than 1 million people died
in Ireland from starvation when blight disease wiped out the potatoe crop. At the time Ireland was under British rule and suffered much oppression. To the present day the population hasn't recovered.

cruel potato

hello potato man
picking on me now
loveless in
the heart
how dare you
after attacking
my girlfriend
your pretty
sick if
you ask me

striking a cruel blow
just attacked me
for no reason
in your written words
on winged pegasus
dark horse
out of the garbage bin
throwing your horrible feelings
bruising me

horrid little man
with a brain
full of starch
get yourself
a personality
sounds like
your all mashed up

thank you for
the cruel comment
your just
a joke
in my eyes
to the world
who will see

what a narrow
minded person
you will never
be happy
just miserable
i see this
when i looked
upon your written words

my journey

On display
In my glass coffin
My body lay
Placed in my coffin

For all to see
At peace I rest
Dressed on my Sunday best
I now sleep

At peace I rest
For my hardship
My mortal sins
My lifs toil

My life now gone
My life I have endured
Its toil etched upon my soul

Life long burdon carried on my soul
I am now at peace
To my maker I give my peace
To travel my journey now starts

To rise to the heavens the pearly gates beckon
To my mother I asend
To the gates she waits
To take me to meet my maker


I pay my respects
My life has ended am with my maker

Demons

Embedded image from another site


Alone in darkness
Patiently I wait with my mysery,
I focuss on the illusions,
Because I can not escape from my reality.
I run my fingers through my hair,
A frustration created through my own devise.
Shadows dancing everywhere
Resurfacing I feel my old demons rise..
Haunting me, whispering
Run away you will be ok

Runaway
Forget the past and everything that is broke or hurt
You will be okay
Dont shove it all inside that only makes it worst
I hold my own
Simply just to save myself
A repercussion of my darkest soul
The reason why I walk alone
So stay away
