Gardener of life
Please take your shears
And trim away
Dead branches
of unforgiveness and strife
out of this self centered life
rake away daily
the scattered leaves
of pain and life’s regrets
let the songbird of joy
find it’s way back home
in my heart again
let me bask in the sunlight
and soak up all of Your spirit
allow me to take pleasure from
Your life giving water stream
plant the seedlings
of peace, hope and
forget me not’s
in the bedding of my soul
let it grow strong and beautiful
for others to benefit from
allow me dance with You
on the green pastures
of Your back yard
in the safe haven of all
Your unselfish love

Left over
Emotions
In the sink
of life
Bits and pieces
of irritation
kernels of anger
pea size splurges
of impatience
slips through the
drain pipes
stuck in your
innermost being
where it lies and
wait patiently
to be seen again
before you know it
your pipes of life
becomes blocked
everything inside
comes to a halt
no room left
for feeling alive
your sink of life
overflows
pent up emotions
throwing their own show
you a helpless
bystander
no control
too late
the filter of
forgiveness
forgotten
in the drawer
a necessity in the
life of a
spiritual person’s
repertoire
it could have
prevented all the spilled
water on the floor
blessed be the man
who keeps no score
of anger and bitterness
in his heart
who faces each day
with a fresh new start

In seconds we freeze
We listen, we wait, what will it take?
In minutes we ponder
We think and we reason, who are we pleasing
In hours we dream
Emotions in motion is our creation
In days we forget
To ponder to reason to create
In years we remember
To listen to wait and what it will take!

in the moonlight i see ur smile
at sunset i hear ur voice whispering.
the scars u created in a moment
ache with every thought of u.
time has heal but the shadows
u left me with haunt my memories.
ur kiss ur touch ur love
lost in memory.
ive been given strength thru my trials
but i am weak without the light in my heart.
im now surrounded by the darkness in my heart,
looking for new love, a new light.
i forgive u but im ready to start anew
so thank you.
i kno my faded heart will heal and glow.

It's not easy to judge yourself
It's not right to judge another,
Things we say always come out
But how will it be uncovered.
I found her here,wondering about
I wanted to show that I cared,
Things were going absolutely great
I wasn't worried or even scared.
But the road can be a mystery
It's not always easy to see,
I just had my heart ripped out
And all because of a tease.
So now inside I am bleeding
My happiness has turned to shame,
Though she may be quick tempered
I am still the one to blame.
Pride is something very special
It's not a thing to laugh about,
I almost want to start crying
For leaving her with doubt.
So off I may go to ponder
Will I ever be forgiven?
I hope to hear your voice again
If not I'll just relive it.

Friendly intensions miss understood as arrogance stood. Friendly intensions miss understood,accusations turn into wood,burning anger of those that could.

Well here I am no longer a boy but now am a man.
I look upon the water tower how beautiful is its sight?,
Looking over me and the years called the path of life
Soon ill be leaving as she watches drive
When I take a look back she will start to cry,
Like the tower that sprung a leak, one last visit I will shrilly sneak
Now that I'm older I won't expect that was left last.
If I could I really would be back in the past
Years go by with out a reply,so I wonder where you gone.
So when I come back why dos this not seem so wrong?. Well here I am
Back where I began,there you are saying I love you,how I wish I never ran

Can I be forgiven or should I be forgotten I am not perfect but I am remorseful for things that need to be forgiven
I am wise to apologize for my mistakes caused because karma could come back 10 times worse than your wrongdoings
I apologize for not always being understanding for not taking the time to address a problem versus avoiding it I apologize
How can I focus on being the best in whatever I do if I can apologize and be forgiven for any wrong that I have done I apologize

my loins burn,
i feel an uncontrollable itch,
catching my eye
is the unused condom...
i knew she looked infectious.
