weeping willow

In the time of jane austen
grew love and sharp fashions
letters to lovers
and women gathered
beneath the willow tree

Young women sat that day
pouring out the emotions
heart written on a page
flowered with devotion
until the dawn of spring

The branches that gave shelter
read her words that day
the love had gone to someone else
those words began to say
my darling please forgive me

And maybe that is how
the tree she got that name
when love once blazing
just slipped out of sight
as the willow was weeping each night

Falling Down

Work is demanding this time of year
I find it difficult to keep my mind clear
Hustle and bustle all through the day
Forty hours a week then you get your pay
I had a terrible fall today
the other people were laughing at me
what in the world do I say
I just cannot make them understand and see
We are a team and have to work like one
therefore it is not all games and fun
Working together builds good relationships
harmony and peace is a good thing
I have cracked my ribs
and bruised my arm
This is not what I go to work for
Safety is a good thing
God bless everybody
Work together in harmony
and make this world a better place

About this poem:
working is supposed to be a family affair
However people are into their own worlds
it helps to be considerate and kind
Living together working in harmony
alls well on the working front
Peace and love to all

Desires, Departures

Thirteen years- is it so much difference
Between a man and woman?
Perspective, perhaps.
Needs, wants.
Desires.
Readiness.

I professed adoration, and she reciprocated.
Oh, but this thing..
This eternity, that she wants..

I expect that she might find it
And thought I somehow offered it
Though as fragile as we are- we humans-
Eternity is only just a short while.

Foolishness, I thought, that I might want
To share our lives, in my words
"If only for a while."
Deep down, deep down
I too longed for eternity,
Even if it were but for such a while.

I lean back now, forlorn, to sigh-
I imagine this, sinking from my chest
This exhalation rolls along the ground
For miles, for miles
To wake her from sleep in restlessness
So she sits, I see, as if offended,
And soon again is sleeping, if only for a while

Strange how I had known her
Her soft smile, her restrained laugh
Her requited breathless grin
In those intimate ways, if only for a while
And now they insist to bare their mark
On my own eternity, on my own short while

About this poem:
(Cue mysterious soliloquy concerning romantic backstory! ;) )


I wanted to be there, she wanted me there.
But, it couldn't last. Well, so we said.

Of course, all the obvious things would suggest it, and I guess we had settled that agreeing on it was as good as if it was absolute- This 'probability'.

And I wondered, if it wouldn't work until the end, couldn't it work for a while? Couldn't I hold her, if I promised to let go?

I wondered, when she said she knew she would have to let go, if she hadn't though I would have to as well? Was this to protect her, or me, or both?

I wanted to say I knew it would be hard, but the only thing that would make it hard, would be that it was so good.

someone to love

It seems like yesterday that we spoke last
Then it all comes out a blast from the past
I must continue to pursue true love
Celeste you are spirited like a dove
I realize I may have told you too much
However you ask and that is a such
we try to harmonize and be kind
Occasionally when I talk I fall behind
There is an innoncence about me
That is obvious everyone can see
However I respect you and care
talk to me if you dare
I am here for you
Talk whatever you do
It is a pleasure looking at your profile
You are beautiful with that pleasant smile
I ask for your forgiveness and understanding
So we can correspond/is this too demanding?

Incomplete

My life was complete
But now it's not
I lost it all, because i fought.
He made me alive
now I am dead
I'm laying here
Crying in my bed
Life is worthless
Why should I try
All I want to do
Is lay here and die
It had only been two days
But that is all I need
To get a last chance
Before he leaves
One last chance
To turn it around
Hoping he won't turn me down
All i want to do
Is hold him tight
And make his dreams
Come true tonight
That once and for all
I can make him happy
Instead of screaming, yelling
Making life crappy
I'm sorry for what I have done
This is coming from my heart
I'm just asking
For a brand new start
For you are my life
Without you I am nothing
So give it one last chance
And i will make it into something
I love you too much
I can't let you go
So look into my eyes
And say I love you so.

Sorry

I love you so very much,
Even though at times I do things that hurt,
I try so hard to hope that you always see,
How much you being in my life means to me,
I am sorry yet again for causing you pain,
That is the last thing I ever wanted to do,
Even when I'm trying to look out for you and do the right thing
I mess up, I am sorry for that too.
I hope that you still know how much I love and cherish you,
Like nothing else in my life gives me the thrill of being loved by you.
So I hope that you listen and see it in my eyes,
This sincere apology that comes with tears from deep inside.

mercy

Man lay broken in the dust
by choices he had made
picked a love he should have left
left her well alone
then when she cast him aside
the tears were all his own

people looked upon him
some with sympathy
others who can say
kindness evaporated
by some just discussed
as he lay in the dust

world so quick to rush in
with stones to throw at us
you and me and anyone
mercy shed for judgement
stones in hands of clay
cast them anyway

yet mercy triumphs finally
as it beholds the view
knows human nature
pities people too
mercy shows compassion
to people made of clay
and sweeps the stones away

To The One That Got Away

Okay..time to put a stop to this. It's not healthy. It will all have to stop somewhere...

I can’t continue forever beating myself up over you. It will destroy me.


I am much stronger than this. I know I am.

I came this far and I'm still alive. That is a feat in itself.


All I want is not to be alone anymore. To find a person that is affectionate and kind. Caring and supportive. Honest and loyal. They don't have to be perfect. Just more like me.

Someone I can pour my soul into, and who can grant me theirs in return. Someone who I can share my deepest desires and secrets with. Someone who won't look down on me or judge me or laugh at me, but respect me for who I am. What I am.


For lack of a better word, my soul mate.


I will find you, no matter what it takes.

No matter how far I have to go.


Even if I have to walk a hundred miles...five hundred...a thousand.


I will pursue you to the ends of the earth. Even into the very depths of Hell, and back again.


I will tear down every obstacle,

shatter every barrier,

break down every wall that could ever stand in my way.


Try to shoot me down, and I will fly faster, climb higher

and run farther than any man has ever gone.

I will fly where others fear to go,

If it will mean a chance to see you again.


Nothing can withstand me…


I am unstoppable.

I will not, cannot be broken this easily.

I am much stronger than that.


I will do this, no matter the cost.


If my heart and my soul have to be ripped out of my body a hundred times,

five hundred times,

a thousand times...

then so be it. For you, it will be worth it in the end.

It will all be worth it.


And when I find you, I will die to protect you.

For without you, I am nothing. I have no other reason to exist.


There is no limit to how far I am willing to go,

how many walls I will break through to find you.


For you are at the top of the highest mountain,

at the bottom of the deepest ocean,

at the end of the longest marathon,

At the end of the endless stairway.



All roads lead to you, and yet none do.

The path to you is a long and rocky one,

At times, impossible,

But I will not rest, will not stop,

will not sleep until I am yours.

And you are mine. Forever.


Between us, no distance is too great.


For with you, I am strong. Without you, I am weak.


For you are my salvation, my redemption, my savior.


My freedom from torment.


You are the foundation on which I stand,

and you are everything I stand for.

This is my purpose.


I will not die alone, I refuse to accept that fate.

I have a future to attend to.

I will find that place where I belong.

I want it, more than anything else.


I need it.

I have worked for it.

I deserve it.

About this poem:
I wrote this because I wrote it, I felt that way because I felt that way. I know the person who I wrote it for will never speak to me again, although I did nothing wrong, and my entire life was meaningless to her, despite sharing 20 years of it and growing up together. She's gone, permanently, and I'm dead to her. Why? Because I told her the truth. Honestly was my only crime.


From these ashes, I will arise.
I will fix these broken wings and learn to fly again.

I will never stop fighting.


Because of you, I BELIEVED. And I still do.



I know I waited too late,
I didn't deserve you and
now you're gone forever...

But I really did care. Just wanted you to know that.

Change

It's amazing how memories flood our being
How are past has impaired our seeing

That we may not remember quite so accurate
As we attempt to recall how immaculate

Our live's were in the past.


But when forced to recall the truth
We sigh and are moved

By the experience of others that were so dear
We remember with a certain fear

How little we knew
And how much we abused

The one's we cared about
We cry and apologize for the doubt

That we had in their truth
I'm so glad I found her again and am so amused

How much we are the same
For she says, "...the only thing for sure is change"

Stand Strong

It is so easy to live in a world of no wrong.
When blame can be assigned at a moments notice.
To know your part and own it is strong.
While the weak live in their ignorant bliss.
So easy to have eyes that see only what you allow.
To have ears that only hear what you want.
To think that others are why the world has run foul.
Wrongs cannot be righted.
When it is always someone else to blame.
When some always feel slighted.
And wonder why things remain the same.
Be your own person and stand strong.
Let go of the past where you can move on.
