If only tears were not stinging my eyes
I might find more than just your lies
If only memories of the past would hold
I might believe the words you’ve recently told
If only the hands of time would turn back
I wouldn’t feel in a mood so black
If only we could start this over once more
Then my if’s could be thrown out the door

I loved you then
I love you now..
Time will reveal, what lies ahead
but always remember
what I have said.
Meeting you has changed my life ..
You left me alone, I didn't cry
But I waited for you on cold nights..
but you never came..
And
Now I know that you never loved me...!!!
But I wish you peace in the world
in which you live...

I had waited for someone, but that person never come...
I had wrote a letter to you,but you never send me back,
nothing else to expect I just wrote to myseeelf...
and in it I left my life,my thoughts and my heart...
but it seems was not enough, I am facing up my faults...
please time goes away, I cant take anymore to wait for another letter to myseeeelf....because I had waited for someone , but that person never come, I had wrote a letter to you, but you never send me back ...
nothing else to expect ,I just wrote to myseeeelf....
I had wrote to myself!!!

feeling lone,
not to trust 100% in someone

I was 19 and in the prime of my young life
I was lookin4 you one day to be my wife
You were a Sth Efrican spunkybum
And sure i was liked by your mum
We worked together then moved in together
We thought that we were in love
I was only 19
I played football with the men
And hung out with mates back then
I gave that up to be with you
Coz remember that day
When you said .. i love you
Anyway .. to cut a long poem short...
We woke up one morning
You said you were crook
I felt like sh*t coz not by your look
I felt so bad that you were sad
So i went off to work
To earn some money so both to be glad
All day at work i thought of you
And all i could think of was you
I called you on the phone during the day
You answerd and said gidday
I asked if you were ok
You said i'm fine and enjoy your day
I was sad that you were crook
And could'nt wait to get home for a look
The siren for knock off time went
I was only 19
But was the longest day of my life
Anyway
I jumped into my car
And could'nt wait to see you
I stopped off and bought you some flowers
Coz since i saw you last
It was hours
Anyway yada yada yada ...
When i drove up to our place
Your dad was out front with a mean face
There was a small truck with in it your belongings
And i thought WTF???
As he was bigger than me
He would'nt let me near thee
Until this day 20/6/16
I still don't know why and now i'm 53
ps, i'm so sorry ... i was only 19

Dear WindyW and John ...the past is past let our friendship be as it was once ...
I'm not angry or mad ,
For the shock ,the message that he sent.
If there is forgiveness to seek...then it is mine to make ..to plea forgiveness to John for anythin I've said or written.
It is where I stand and say,
That can never be taken away,
What is bygone should not belong,
To the present or the future,
With memories fill with anger and bitter.
I am to be blamed,
For my ignorant mistake,
So I offer Back to you and yours truly,
Friendship for life at this place,
Acceptance is at your mercy,
Only time will tell...

An eye for an eye,
Now the whole world's blind,
An ear for an ear,
Now no-one can hear,
Do unto others as they to do you,
Oh how the worlds full of blind deaf fools...

Just saying...
Post Comment
She smiles and looks around at the people around her,
Outside she is carm, relaxed, happy and smiles.
He watches her smile, looks deeper and notices the smile didn't reach her eyes,
He sees her relaxed state and notices her hands clenched in her lap,
He sees the people around her and notices they don't see what he sees.
He walks up and stands behind her, reaches down and strokes her shoulder,
She feels him and tenses.
He walks around and takes her hand, lifts it to his lips and kisses her fingers.
She looks into his eyes and sees him, she knows he can see her like nobody else.
She smiles and this time her eyes go soft and her hand closes around his.
She opens her eyes and he's gone, she lets one tear fall, takes a deep breath and smiles once more at the people around her that can never see inside like he could.

As I enter the decade of death
and plan for endless dreamless sleep
certain as Earth turning from light to night
I recall the spiritual seasons of my life:
hope exploding from an atmospheric prism
joy blazing through the gold lens of a star
adventure adrift with leaves on the wind
crystallized languor frozen in place
despite flickering memoirs of bliss
like sparkling sunshine through breaks
in a cloud-crowded sky of indigo blue
my mind rewinds moments of pain
as if highlights from a constant cinema
featuring every being I have known
in need, love, abuse, joy, and sorrow--
tragicomedy worthy of a reckless writer
aware now of each heartbeat
and wondering which will be my last
I mourn the loss of life in brain and brawn
but mostly bemoan what might have been
had I the prudence to expect events
occurring around the next twist or turn
events that make all the difference
for that extraordinary chance to exist
but regret is a poison potion
that lowers the view below the horizon
and prevents a vision of goodness
a revelation too often lost in fancy
for I must know that as a mere man
I can no more change my story
than stop the stretch of shadows
draping the angles off a redwood tree
and my meager human existence
for all its erratic blinking in the dark
is meaningless in the cosmoscape
but for any benefit I have bestowed
for the good of other living things--
fellow mortals who dwelt with me
on this grand sphere for blips in time
and finally disappeared in the dust

When i walk the path of pain
i always think of how to be strong enough?
like a tree without branches,branches without
leaves,
But there are Angel's among us.i feel them
with me and i don't need to worry anymore
Some times we think that we're alone..but
we never understand that God send an angel's
to guide and protect us,
Forget the pain,,they make your heart cry
Let your tears go ..and your pain are gone,
True, the pain is a branch of your life
But don't let the leave's fall down to the
dirty ground,,,think of forgiveness!!
Feel the Angel,
Yuri~Edna,
