i will push on...
I bend but not broken down.
I may have lost, but I'm not a loser.
I've failed, but I'm not a failure.
I've fallen hard and will get up and continue.
I been isolated, but i don't care.
I have been destroyed but i will rebuild.
My heart is broken, but I will fix it.
See, no matter how close I come to breaking,I will continue to push on.
I may have lost, but I'm not a loser.
I've failed, but I'm not a failure.
I've fallen hard and will get up and continue.
I been isolated, but i don't care.
I have been destroyed but i will rebuild.
My heart is broken, but I will fix it.
See, no matter how close I come to breaking,I will continue to push on.

Anger.
Anger
I look at you and cannot see
the light that used to shine from me
when I beheld the beauty of your grace.
The love that oozed from every pore
I laid so sweetly at your door
is gone when I behold your precious face.
I ache from every wretched bone
internalising when alone
my anger at your going from this place.
When severing all ties, you swore
my grandchildren I'll see no more,
now ire-filled I am lonely in disgrace.

About this poem:
I wrote this 10 years ago when my daughter cut me from her life. I haven't seen her or my precious grandchildren since. I've obviously worked through the pain, but the memory lingers.
The sunset
The core
of orange
falling down
through open
branches
of green
embracing
the sunset.
of orange
falling down
through open
branches
of green
embracing
the sunset.

About this poem:
Today's reflection
No One Thinks Like Me
I've had time to think it over and it's no use you see
Cause I know yes I know
No one thinks like me
Briefly I knew you long time we've been apart
Who else would have written when all was hopelessly
Then again no one thinks like me
If ever we meet again I'll tip my hat to say hello
Perhaps you may think I'm a man of mystery
But you don't understand no one thinks like me
Words on a page can be so vain
Line after line and there's nothing to gain
Something about love from a memory no one thinks like me
Cause I know yes I know
No one thinks like me
Briefly I knew you long time we've been apart
Who else would have written when all was hopelessly
Then again no one thinks like me
If ever we meet again I'll tip my hat to say hello
Perhaps you may think I'm a man of mystery
But you don't understand no one thinks like me
Words on a page can be so vain
Line after line and there's nothing to gain
Something about love from a memory no one thinks like me

Castaway
I speak from a heart grown weak and old,
The suns heat doesn't reach and so it is cold,
A story unending or so it is told,
A tale of sadness, madness, and woe,
Knowing not from whence I came,
No, Or now where I will go,
Only understanding I am utterly alone...,
And alone it appears I'll continue to be,
Seems my entire existence there's been only me,
To answer my queries,
To laugh at my jokes,
To share my opinions,
My dreams and my hopes,
A message in a bottle,
Filled with old memories,
Perhaps someone will read,
Tossed with a splash in the vast open sea...,
"Run afoul, Run aground, my vessel's a wreck,
S.O.S. mayday, A call of distress,
One soul survivor, Only me left.",
What happens next is anyone's guess,
How did I get myself into this mess?,
While no man's an island I'm doing my best...

About this poem:
Others of you I'm sure feel it too,I'm lost and alone in this life sometimes...
online today!Mirage
I touch the frosty glass,
And for a brief moment
In the night
The shadow suddenly grows
Closer.
My imagination ? Maybe...
I know you found peace
On distant shores.
How is it to live
There?
How is it to breathe ?
My fear? maybe ...
I know our life is a gift
Of downs, ups,
Rules of the game,
But at the frosty side
Of the glass
You wait
I feel
And I will come
To you one day
Or night.
I never have enough
Of sadness, love
And voices in the mist
And for a brief moment
In the night
The shadow suddenly grows
Closer.
My imagination ? Maybe...
I know you found peace
On distant shores.
How is it to live
There?
How is it to breathe ?
My fear? maybe ...
I know our life is a gift
Of downs, ups,
Rules of the game,
But at the frosty side
Of the glass
You wait
I feel
And I will come
To you one day
Or night.
I never have enough
Of sadness, love
And voices in the mist

About this poem:
It happened to me few days ago while keeping in hand a frosty glass of wine...a real feeling my father was near me....................................................
online today!Help
I wanted to write a poem of love, but I had no inspiration,
I wanted to write a poem of beauty, but you evaded me,
I wanted to write about my life, but it was not to be,
So I decided to write only words, about my dreams.
Words don’t come easy to me, as I fumble to express,
Words don’t always say, what I really mean to say,
Words don’t portray my feelings, as they are meant,
So I decided to think of words, that were in my heart.
My heart is always full of love, which is only for you,
My dreams are of you , only within my vacant mind,
My words are meaningless, without you at my side,
So I spend yet another endless lonely loveless night.
Some ya win, some ya lose, :)

online today!Enough
All the little ways
I appreciate you
Cannot be compiled
On a simple list
That says it enough
No time to worry
I just accept you
The way you are
And I want to share
How you’re enough
The way you know
When you walk
Into that room
Your love will
Always be enough
I appreciate you

I just accept you
The way you are
And I want to share
How you’re enough
The way you know
When you walk
Into that room
Your love will
Always be enough

About this poem:
Thoughts about love and relationship themes are weighing in strong this month. :)Not Everyone Can Be King
You say you'll never find fortune never have fame
And you're getting too old for world acclaim
If money fell from the sky but you know that's a lie
What all tomorrows bring not everyone can be king
As you are dreaming of the ocean waves
There are peasants and there are slaves
The rich know the living
The poor only know to wait for their graves
Farewell fair maiden you're out of view by now
Some bells are silent why don't they ring
There must be a reason
Not everyone can be king
In a different direction his journey is far
Along the way he find rest by a stream
As the ripples whisper they lull him to dream
And he awakes to the reflection not everyone can be king
And you're getting too old for world acclaim
If money fell from the sky but you know that's a lie
What all tomorrows bring not everyone can be king
As you are dreaming of the ocean waves
There are peasants and there are slaves
The rich know the living
The poor only know to wait for their graves
Farewell fair maiden you're out of view by now
Some bells are silent why don't they ring
There must be a reason
Not everyone can be king
In a different direction his journey is far
Along the way he find rest by a stream
As the ripples whisper they lull him to dream
And he awakes to the reflection not everyone can be king

Post Commentonline today!Walking On Sunshine
You can walk on sunshine
When it rains
Looks so enchanting
On your face
You can melt my heart
With your embrace
Lighten my load
With amazing grace
Take me on a wild ride
Far away in space
You can make me love you
Make my heart race
Take me by my hand
Climbing your staircase
Hold my hands steady
Make me wait
You can make me ready
Ready for anything
Find me when I’m lost
Take me home again
Give my heart a place
To hang on
Give my arms
Something to hold on
Tell the sweetest story
That was ever told
You can walk on sunshine
When it rains
When it rains
Looks so enchanting
On your face
You can melt my heart
With your embrace
Lighten my load
With amazing grace
Take me on a wild ride
Far away in space
You can make me love you
Make my heart race
Take me by my hand
Climbing your staircase
Hold my hands steady
Make me wait
You can make me ready
Ready for anything
Find me when I’m lost
Take me home again
Give my heart a place
To hang on
Give my arms
Something to hold on
Tell the sweetest story
That was ever told
You can walk on sunshine
When it rains
