Time ticking backwards to memories there
To remember a time; one that we shared
I see my mistakes and perhaps I can erase
The sadness I put right there on your face
A touch on your cheek to a tear dropping down
Can I still stop them from causing a frown?
Let’s start from the point we were happy and free
Then turn the clock forward and start over with me
I’ll show you each day the love in my heart
I hope you’ll allow the romance to start
We were once just friends then I asked you for more
You gave me your love and then I closed the door
Afraid of the pain I had once felt before
I shut you out and made giving a chore
The day that you left I saw my mistake
Pain overwhelmed me, I’m hollow and I ache
So, turn back the hands on this magical clock
Back to the time I asked you to stop
I’ll give you my heart and let go of the fears
Take a chance with you; let’s share our best years
Please tell me my love that it isn’t too late
For in you I have found my love and soul-mate

Searching for the truth amongst many lies
Which friend or foe lover or deceiver
My heart broken beyond repair good bye
I kept wanting to turn the lie to truth
Looking into the mirror not at me
Different shapes different sizes nothing changed
A slight trick of the hand now you don't see
Magic trickery just an illusion
The curtain closed then opened all were gone
No closing bow no standing ovation
No illusion just me standing alone
A simple curtsy from a mere lady
The lights dimmed the room darkened then silence
Clarity became seen then all made sense

About this poem:
Sometimes in life you have to except what you want to be true does not make it true. One day one might realize they are sitting in a room full of strangers. Kindness goes a long way life. Remember in life you are what you eat. You are what you put into your self. If you put love and kindness into yourself then that is what you will be, so if you find yourself feeding negativity into your life the sensiable thing to do is make changes if it is not where you want to be. Love to all.

It’s horrible
What I’m doing to my body
Garbage in
Garbage out

Lately
I’ve been insatiably hungry
Like maggots eating away at my wounds
Yet nothing curbs the craving
~ ~
And I don’t know what for
~ ~
It’s as if I’ve lost control
As my mind directs my actions
My hands follow in unison
With mechanical fingers tapping
Involuntarily
Programming my reality
Day after day
~ ~
The numbness
Overwhelming and meaningless
If I can but feel again
To reach beyond the emptiness
Instead
My needs are not met
My pleas are unsaid
My path not clear to step
My thoughts going head to head
~ ~
What is my crime?
I beg for leniency
This punishment is killing me
Help me to break free
~ ~
Let me live again
Please

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...

Forgive me as I say
This is not the end
Of what may come
To life's beginning
Living life is not so easy
We all have our moments
What can we say
but sorry to interrupt
Nevertheless
We all can see
Like nothing is there
Even though its right
just right in front of us
Letting go is another part
lets not be tamed
Lets go with the heart

For decades he has been in prison in his own mind
His past haunted him, smiles left behind
Emotionally tormented, several months locked away
Negatively affected his career and health, the price he pay
Frequently traveling overseas
Fraudulently using aliases
A gifted artiste that sings
Fled what drug sentence brings
No more evading authorities he outline
Extradition contest he decline
Did the crime, serve the time, gained knowledge
Now he’s busy signaling his crossing of the bridge
Singing Nah go a Jail again
He strongly proclaim
Ready to get his singing career back on track
So relieved that the proverbial monkey is off his back

Platonically strictly speaking words that poor through eyes,
The ash cloud covers the beaming lights that envoke the spirit.
Sun erupts from the mind echoed across the lonely tide pool,
Vanishing upon a willow tree flower.
A camera is seen but not found,
Searching for the beacon of hope.
Pictured above a couch of silience,
The witness studies the book.
Clinging to a sunken ledge,
The traveler carries the torch home.
Bringing joy of fans crowding the streets,
Journey Away Entertains Many Concepts.
A land to port heart sits by the fire,
Hugging a daisy holding a bacon table cloth.
Eyes look past the smoke and see what a dream can brew,
Evening once had may never come true.

Just incase...
the world should end. I've made a few friends, Some relationships came and went. Some, endured to the very end. Other relations could not mend. No animosity, to any of them. It's just life, how things begin & sometimes end.
Just incase...
the world should end. I don't have alot of worldly possession's, to attend. Just some earthly aquirements, attained along the way. Physical attachments, that Will astray, when my life has withered away.
Just incase...
the world should end. I hope one-day we meet again. This flesh embodied, we do not own. It's just a vehicle, that transports the soul. Until it find's a place, to go.
Just incase...
the world should end. I need to say one more thing. I need to let you know, how much I truly cared. How sometimes my own ignorance, ruined the love, I could have shared. Sometimes my fears, shattered my faith. How I've often struggled, to find the right words to say
Just incase...
the world should end, please know, I will always love you till the end..
