Sounds of Despair
Tears of blood drip from my soul
And stain the virgin's table
Food it touches rotten turns
And carrion eaters come to devour
High pitched sound of breaking heart
Shatters all the windows
Leaving open for doom to fly in
And spread his misery round
The pounding of brain tormented
Sets up vibrations all around
It breaks all the foundations
Sends my reality crumbling down
The cry of utter loneliness
Echoes back as my despair
For left I have all of nothing
'Cause you took all that was there
And stain the virgin's table
Food it touches rotten turns
And carrion eaters come to devour
High pitched sound of breaking heart
Shatters all the windows
Leaving open for doom to fly in
And spread his misery round
The pounding of brain tormented
Sets up vibrations all around
It breaks all the foundations
Sends my reality crumbling down
The cry of utter loneliness
Echoes back as my despair
For left I have all of nothing
'Cause you took all that was there

About this poem:
A walk down the black side. No I am not feeling like that, thank you. Actually I am very happy and in a great relationship.
Color Me a Memory
Color me a memory
watercolor symphony
every movement painted
with music as its brush
Plant your colors softly
shaping every movement
building schools and churches
cottages and houses
Architecture portrait
of a village i once saw
recreate the scene
filled with evergreen
Fields of blackberries
ripe for the picking
making the pie
bowl remnant licking
Cool night air under the stars
new mown hay
moths round a lamplight
paint for me that sight

About this poem:

All that I want from you is smile
Oh, do I really want too much?
Tell, did for more I ever ask?
All that I want from you is smile,
All that I want from you is smile,
Tell, is it much, too much to ask?
I know my hair is showing white,
I know old age will soon arrive,
All that I want from you is smile,
All that I want from you is smile,
Tell, is it much, too much to ask?
It’s only you to me that's left,
Heart's aching for you’re far away,
It is torment, but there's no other way.
Know not from where my longing comes,
Know not why thirst for you is such.
Tell, what is it you want with me?
What is the wrong to you I've done?
Tell, what is it you want with me?
What is the wrong to you I've done?
Oh, do I really want too much?
Tell, did for more I ever ask?
All that I want from you is smile,
All that I want from you is smile,
Tell, is it much, too much to ask?
I know my hair is showing white,
I know old age will soon arrive,
All that I want from you is smile,
All that I want from you is smile,
Tell, is it much, too much to ask?
It’s only you to me that's left,
Heart's aching for you’re far away,
It is torment, but there's no other way.
Know not from where my longing comes,
Know not why thirst for you is such.
Tell, what is it you want with me?
What is the wrong to you I've done?
Tell, what is it you want with me?
What is the wrong to you I've done?
Oh, do I really want too much?

This is what Tsisperi Trio (Blue Trio) is singing about. Listen to the music and follow the lines in English, and hope you will really enjoy the music! Happy New Year, my dear poets!
My Heart, My Traveller
My heart, my fellow traveller
It has been decreed again
That you and I be exiled,
go calling out in every street,
turn to every town.
To search for a clue
of a messenger from our Beloved.
To ask every stranger
the way back to our home.
In this town of unfamiliar folk
we drudge the day into the night
Talk to this stranger at times,
to that one at others.
How can I convey to you, my friend
how horrible is a night of lonliness *
It would suffice to me
if there were just some count
I would gladly welcome death
if it were to come but once.

If I - - -
..**...*...*...*...**..
If I’m not an angel,
why would you call me angel?
If I’m not nice,
why would you love to be by my side?
If I’m not lovely,
how can I make you laugh and happy?
If I love rumors and lies,
how can I make you smiles?
..**...*...*...*...**.**...*...*...*...**..
If you’re a bad one,
why does my heart tell you’re a good person?
If you are fake,
why would I still like to walk with you on the lake?
If you’re such a fool,
how could you make my world so beautiful?
If you've got dirty on your mind,
how could your works are so fine?
..**...*...*...*...**.**...*...*...*...**..
If I judge from what I see,
that time you may leave me.
If I trust from what I hear,
that time you can disappear.
If I believe from what they say,
that time you don’t need to stay.
If I deem from what they show,
that time you can even go.
..**...*...*...*...**.**...*...*...*...**..
But if I'm still be me,
the one you used to know.
I judge I trust from my heart,
not that from my ego.
I believe I deem I define,
I see I hear from my mind.
So why would you fade away?
could you please tell me why?
..**...*...*...*...**.**...*...*...*...**..
If I give you my strength,
will you please be strong?
If I send you a melody,
will you sing me a song?
If I lend you a pen,
will you write me poetry?
If I share you my heart,
will you come back and get a new start?
..**...*...*...*...**..

About this poem:
Dedicated to someone. ^_____^ When I said I trust you, I'll just trust you. And when I said I love you, I'll just love you. No matter what people say, I will never gonna change my mind. ^_____^Thank you everyone for reading.
A Pink Plastic bag
A room full of lush carpets and chairs, heavy cream curtains,
polished oak tables, paintings you would see in a gallery, not a speck of dust to be seen.
In the corner a dark pink plastic packet sat on the floor...
The woman walked into the perfect room in her tight fitting top and perfect pleated pants,, her face showed no feeling, she sat on the edge of the chair.
He walked in behind her and stood looking around, his eyes took in the room and the woman and he studied her face.
walking over to the pink packet he reached inside and pulled out the fluffy bear and the rag doll, walking over to her he lay her down on the chair and cuddled the toys around her, smiling he kissed her forhead and loosened her hair.
He watched her face relax into the joy of a girl and smiled.

About this poem:
sometimes someone just knows how to reach you:-)MARSMALLOW ANSWERS
Stood in the desert
Hot chocolate memories exert
Screaming words played before me
Felt like a calendar escapee
Everywhere trumpets were singing their song
I’ve been captured by a bee throng
I grasped at an empty hole
The years stopped rock ‘n roll
Starless windows smiled
Flew with heartbreak lilies
Everywhere around me was open-heart surgery
I was so confused
The sea was bruised
Why couldn’t you see
There was no Magnum fee
Leaves grabbed my air
My lips end with solitaire
Looked for marshmallow answers
Where were all the love advancers
Soundless was my prison cell
Laughter-shadows slowly stroll
Did James Bond steal the warmest heart
Mount Everest fell apart
My eyes melted
Scanned love disappeared
Would the swamp tomorrows be persevered
The eagles cry
Would the angels ever lie
Hot chocolate memories exert
Screaming words played before me
Felt like a calendar escapee
Everywhere trumpets were singing their song
I’ve been captured by a bee throng
I grasped at an empty hole
The years stopped rock ‘n roll
Starless windows smiled
Flew with heartbreak lilies
Everywhere around me was open-heart surgery
I was so confused
The sea was bruised
Why couldn’t you see
There was no Magnum fee
Leaves grabbed my air
My lips end with solitaire
Looked for marshmallow answers
Where were all the love advancers
Soundless was my prison cell
Laughter-shadows slowly stroll
Did James Bond steal the warmest heart
Mount Everest fell apart
My eyes melted
Scanned love disappeared
Would the swamp tomorrows be persevered
The eagles cry
Would the angels ever lie

~~Silent Prayer~~
If God could only hear me, but to what I do not know is He does listen
I fight the tears by day and night as I hear the only whisper
I needed one more Angel
Raspy but calmly I look above and all I see is a pair of Angel wings
I smile and know He Nathan is watching over me
I calmly go about my day
Then another whisper comes again say your day is over
But As I know my list has not been completed
As I had so much to say to my little boy
Before January 21st , 2007 hit all over me
We often never understand the word
WHY ?
Something so short if spelled backwards
YHW
You
Have
What? The list goes on and on…..
Jesus is in your Heart
God in your life
Softly The whisper is back
I’m an angel
Once again
Jesus Loves me, This little light of mine, Jesus loves the little children
Before my eyes the ghost of an Angel appeared before my eyes saying
Eternity is the Kingdom of God
May I whisper one more word
I love you Momma
Soon I fell asleep as the wings had wrapped around me
Soon the whisper came back and had asked me have you accepted
JESUS?
I whisper softly back…..
Yes once again
The lights came back on,
The room was full of cool air
My tears were gone
I had thought I was in the same room as my little boy
But that moment went by and it was only morning time
The light from Heaven is goodness
The rest was given because I am a believer
Best of everything is that I have accepted Christ and because of this
God has only borrowed my little love one my "NATHAN" and some day
He “GOD” will return and place me in the “wings” of an
Angel….

About this poem:
Some may know back in 2007 I lost my son Nathan to a bad hunting accident . He was only 20 years old at the time this month he would of turn 27 so my heart continue to hurt and linger on hard with unanswered moments and this is when my writing just pops into my head and here is another example of what happens in my writes and hope you all can enjoy this one as I am missing my only boy I have ever had. R.I.P. Nathan WayneSweet angel eyes
Your my sweet angel eyes
You see through all their lies
When you look at me I know you see
One love that will always be
A part of me will always be with you
Me and you together will always make it through
Those rainy days when I'm alone caught up in my ways
Your my sunshine wrap me up in your rays
My sweet angel eyes
Always recognize
I'm the one who try's
How fast time flies
your all I want to visualize
Can't you see it in my eyes
I need you hear my sweet angel eyes
Save me from my demise
You will always be my sweet angel eyed
Never forget that the one who tried
Wipe away the tears I've cried
Take away the pain I feel inside
Give me reason to turn it around
I was lost but you will make sure I'm found
You see through all their lies
When you look at me I know you see
One love that will always be
A part of me will always be with you
Me and you together will always make it through
Those rainy days when I'm alone caught up in my ways
Your my sunshine wrap me up in your rays
My sweet angel eyes
Always recognize
I'm the one who try's
How fast time flies
your all I want to visualize
Can't you see it in my eyes
I need you hear my sweet angel eyes
Save me from my demise
You will always be my sweet angel eyed
Never forget that the one who tried
Wipe away the tears I've cried
Take away the pain I feel inside
Give me reason to turn it around
I was lost but you will make sure I'm found

TEARS OF MY SOLE
WHY DO I CRY
MY TEARS SO DEEP
IS IT JUST ME
MY SOUL CANT SLEEP
IV PRAYED SO HARD
I GAVE MY SOUL
IT HURT SO MUCH
I LOSE CONTROL
SHE BROKE MY SOUL
HARTS TORN APART
IT PUT MY LIFE BACK TO THE START
SO NOW I KNOW NOT WHAT TO DO
CANT STOP THIS MAN FROM LOVING YOU
SO ME I,AM HERE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
BUT AM NOT FREE MY SOULS BEEN TIED
AND HERE ALONE I SIT AND CRY
I SIT AND WIST FOR ME TO DIE
TO MUCH SADNESS TO MUCH PAIN
PLAYED MY HART JUST LIKE A GAME
KNOW NOT WHAT TO DO OR WHAT TO SAY
SO HERE I SIT AND CRY IN PAIN
SO HERE I SIT
DONE NOTHING WRONG
BUT HERE ILL SIT
TILL I GROW STRONG
