special lady

i never
questioned you
just happy
loving you
as a friend

one knows
how you stand
in the shadows
of love
i once lived
in that shadow
take it from me

i am strong minded
here anytime
if you want
a smile
one day
you will
see shadows

they are for
a reason
hands on
one heart
you are a friend
at least
we share
our thoughts
in writing

bringing out
the best
in me
as a writer
even we only write
our dreams
of love
beautiful dreams

how they stand
in my mind
if we were to
ever meet
god help me
i would fall
into you

worship the ground
on which
you stand
i pray
some day
i meet
someone just
like you

the rock
in which
to build
a palace
fit for
one princess
amongst women
a gem
honoured to be
your fiend

even i know
the ending
its housed
in dreams
passing you
a very sweet
hug for a very
special lady

Yankee's "40 words" challenge...

Fast that you may know
how hunger transforms you
Sleep on pavements, experience
no roof nor for your butt a soft bed
Turn off taps, shower not!
Feel what's like having
no water to drink or wash!
Maybe you'll understand!

About this poem:
I have no idea if this will cut it Yankee but I'm fuelled still by what's happening in my home country. To show respect to the victims I've not posted anything on social media except sharing posts about what's going on...and what people and places are doing, big or small, to help...or at least understands the plight of the victims. I am disheartened that a lot of my own people are rampant in posting "look at me I'm beautiful" or "look at my stuff" kind of photos. I wrote a poem to express my dismay.. from which I extracted the 40 words I have submitted for your challenge.. Thanks for the opportunity...

Rain and Pain

Easy on the spirit
It brings more bruises than healing
Drowning your miseries is not a good move
Just because you come here everyday
Doesn't mean her odd of showing up is greater
But yes, you will forget
how you shortchanged yourself
Of your love
But you will always remember
How she never could earn your trust
Of course, you now know
How wrong that was.

What you don't know
That day when you stood her up
The rain was incessant and non stop?
She tried so hard not to cry
She rushed outside to feel the rain
And drowned her pain
I wanted to offer my heart
But I just knew hers belongs to you.

Now you may play your life inside that glass
And suppress that sorrow inside your heart
But the truth is: she's gone and alone
In her cold and lonely tomb.

And you will never know
How much she has really loved you.

leprechaun love

enchanting mystical beauty
one fairy princess
handing to you
a four leaf clover
from the golden
treasure chest within
jewels would you care
for a sip
of the finest
dandelion tea perhaps
standing one goddess
before me

The river flows
magic within
I made for you
being the best shoemaker
a pair of glass slippers
mixing stardust with colored crystals
from a rainbow
to fit your dainty little feet
throwing a great party
in your honor
as the bell strikes
midnight tonight
within a sparkling green forest
scented in pine

hope is my wish
faith you turn up
luck in finding such a treasure
love a golden emotion

Over a rainbow bridge
I will take you to paradise
dancing a jig
over heather clad hills
an ancient treasure is hidden
deep inside love
in charming flower daisies
fireflies they dance
shining their soft charming light
to lay you love
on the softest blanket

Woven from golden strands
as the sun smiles
dazzling green magic fields
floating upon air
a fragrance
flaring within scent
of sweet smelling flowers
songbirds singing
in your delight

Butterflies they dance
in warm happiness
the waterfall
flows down
in a stream of luck
not believing such beauty exists
a dream embraced
by the fairy princess
this leprechaun
found his pot of gold
all his wishes were granted
in piping dreams
she is hot

senseless world

Bloodied pool of life
Nourished by forces of evil
In a senseless world
Where remorse is stacked
In a pile of dead emotions.

We are facing a war
Far deadlier than the brutalities
And mutilation
Guns and missiles can cause
It is our lack of strenght
To stand against such strangulation.

This is the indifference of the soul
The mind's submission to defeat
The heart blocked by the pains
Of desertions and abandonment
Hanging on our shoulders,
Dead cold and retreat.

There is a hope, a big one,
It can begin now!
Get up and unite, carry your courage
Join the many and seek more to make an impact
With determination and commitment
Step up in the front line and join hands.

We can do it. Senseless world no more
No one will do it for us. Are you kidding me?
The wealthy will buy our silence. Fast.
The cost? Your freedom. Yours and mine
So either you grab the money and run-

Or all of us, the poor and the lowly
Be united, be forceful, committed
For the clean up, our world badly needs.


Before it's too late.

The American Dream

Have you bought, the scheme?
That keeps you in debt, to the 1%
The house, the car.
I want, I want, I want it all!!!
But first I have to pay off, this college Tution course.
25,00.00 in the hole.
I must get a job, to pay it all off.
Sadly there is no job in my field,
This was not apart, of the deal.
They told me to get a education
I would be at the top.
Right now I have to find a job,
If it means, pushing a mop.
One credit card left, I've paid off 3
These interest rates, are killing me.
I wish I took some time to think
Things through.
The white picket fence, if only I knew.
The American Dream, I had to pursue.
A mortgage seemed, so unreal at the time.
That old French word
Mort- dead
Gage- pledge
Plagues, the mind
What was I thinking, IM not free.
In debt, I will forever be.
I bought the dream, red, white & blue
Education, house, car & other things to.
Yes I bought the dream!!!
but they sold me a lie
The American dream, comes with a stiff price.
So before you want a piece of the pie
Remember in debt we trust, is the truth
Behind the lies...

Paradox

Embedded image from another site

This world is full of delusions and our imaginations are trapped inside
Within this sphere some give into fear never mind the world outside
Excuses are made by common sense as maturity begins leaking from our mouth
But still we attempt to negotiate if there is a north there is a south
Some are in search of science while others believe religion is just a myth
I believe religion gives birth to hypocrites and science is a gift
So many claim to have everything and yet they always seem to want more
It's a thirsts that is never satisfied, but no other shapes fit in the hole
Sometimes in life we try to place the wrong pieces inside of the right times
Giving a name to complications authorizing entanglements design
And if on the day I feel incomplete when my flesh wants to let go
Will I truly escape with peace and life or die forever within my hell bent soul
And as I lay inside the womb of eternal sleep am I just food for the worms
Or does the earth absorb my body and my energy becomes one with the universe
One thing that I'm certain of is that the world will always turn
And if there is a Heaven and Hell one day we all will learn

Another Time Or Other Place

So often I still think of you
and I wonder if you sometimes do it too.
For the land you live in now
is way too far from here.
But it was you who drew the line;
that choice was never mine.

You’ve been gone for many years
and much too late now it is for tears.
Oh, if only I could know then
just half of what I know now,
I surely would have gone the other way
to crush this life’s wicked play.

Do you ever sit and wonder
about the times we spent back yonder?
Do you ever stare into empty space
to see how it might have been,
if you and I were born
in another time or other place.

Hi to ya all, this is my very first try at writing a poem, so if the structure and technique is not right, please don't shoot me.

It is dedicated to a girl I once loved. A young love so true, but forbidden by the circumstances of the time.

a candle

Light in the dark
Burning inside
one soul's
eye holds
Silken softness
Emotional feelings

On the platform
In the dark
of mind
Playing on
beautiful words
No shell
is empty
Loves energy
colours light

A candle burns
Deep within
the mind
Flowing through veins
Ink from my heart
Flickering
inner thoughts

Lost deep
Within it's warmth
Burning flame
Hot in desire
In a lonely
Dark night

Falls
Head over
Heels a candle
Of love
in the night

THE LANGUAGE OF MY SOUL

The language of my soul
Unwritten, unspoken

It doesn't reverberate
In the halls of your fame

It wouldn't be displayed
In the walls with your name

Nor will it be heard
In your silence

It will lay dormant
Inside my heart

Content to be locked

MY SOUL BEYOND YOUR TOUCH.
