I fear death yet I turn not away,
For if the time comes to put me to lay;
Then I will see no evil nor fight
the burning of the bright light.
God's answer will also be mine,
And so I alone shall not pine;
For long lost dreams and torments,
Soon they shall lie dormant;
Til like the phoenix from the ashes of flame
I will rise once more without blame.

My name is David,
That is true,
A simple man with manual works,
I treat ill people, not the kind you like to meet,
I find comfortable surroundings a plus,
Where exchange is the past,
And sanitised and professional is the future,
I say Ill, I mean poisoning of the blood,
I'm I any different when I throw back a few,
I'm I clear in being who I am,
Do I bring my work home, no,
Throw me to the wolves as I know your future,
My tongue is my creed,
Wrestle my mind,
Choke my confidence,
I will survive,
I know you, I met you,
Don't hide in books,
Is everyone different or the same,
No need to bow,
I'm simple, mature, dedicated,
I want to die....
Leaned me the rope, hand me the knife,
Give me the gun...
Let me sleep...

Hopelessness that engulfed me long ago continues to take a toll
succumbing is imminent if I don't find the cure for my ailing soul
It's gotten more arduous keeping at bay the indignation I deeply feel
constant unwanted thoughts of dying have become scary real

I battle Demons like every person does in some capacity I'd surmise
you can't truly know others because all have something requiring disguise
For way too many years I have contemplated giving in to suicide
I'm still here because strength I've questioned is very alive inside

The will to keep on living was THE one thing I hoped to never lose
my life has been inundated with misery I didn't willingly choose
There are numerous reasons I can't ascend from the dark pit of grief
in my most desperate times I've called on a mythical god for relief

I have been unable to secure joy but thankfully it occasionally stops by
absolute detestation for our nefarious world tops all the reasons why
More often I find myself caring less about waking to another tomorrow
pain heightens knowing so many others are suffering even worse sorrow

To everyone like me struggling to endure this every day fight
'HOPE' we must somehow never allow to escape our sight
This utterly sinister life doesn't resemble a "Gift" at all
when you fall and feel you've reached to tired to stand...Crawl

Let the unconditional love of family be reason you stay
we can certainly wish all misery is going to end someday

~Wanting You ~

I’m in Love with you and your body

The way it fits my hand like a glove

It’s silky firmness that’s filled with
undying Love

Blending in harmony with mine
playing rhapsody music so divine

Two spirits blending as one
tripping the light fantastic of love

Come closer darling, put your hand in mine
Feel it’s tingling sensations

Hold me tight as we both explore
Kiss me my darling I want more!

Feel the fire of my lips kissing
the nape of your neck

Softly blowing kisses in your ear
your eyelids & other wondrous places

When the night has faded into dawn
and the new day has begun

Our love has blended together
And now we are as one ~

The Romantic Poet
JimEee

The world is on the verge of hell,
Undergoing a terrible spell.
The Angels weep from heaven above,
Watching the world lose all its love.

Innocent people have lost their lives
All for the greed of the propertied.
Wars have ravished any goodness left.
Brought about a lot of hurt and theft.

The world, once pure has been corrupted
With the venomous poison of those who run it.
Those who've been chosen to lead the world,
Manipulate individuals and don't keep their word.

The populace now regrets their decision
To trust mankind in the hands of politicians.
Humanity is shattered because it was all massacred
By the ruling powers of the world.

There is no more love in a world so tough,
Due to the everlasting evil
That has dominated the world primeval.

Although evil has a strong grip,
Good will never let the world slip
Into the hands of those who wish to harm
And lead all good souls to their death.

Good always triumphs,
And overcomes all defiance.

For the flame
That's always burning
For the love
You cannot see

For your soul
That's always yearning
For the you
Still yet to be

There's a fire in a circle
And a path you haven't walked

Whether fast or slow as turtle
It has on your door now knocked

We can live our lives in blindness
We can set ourselves now free

Yet know truth for it is timeless
Be that flame and you shall see

Wandered long and dirty highways
Never found your way back home

This is more than just a word phrase
This will break the blinding dome

Lines and circles doesn't matter
What you are is really you

When the thousand mirrors shatter
You will meet that more than true

There is not a new religion
Just a simple deeper song

Grace will come to you in vision
Know right here it won't be long

Take these broken arrows burn them
Take this shackles of your back

Listen to the sound of real drum
In yourself the fire track

Just stay open in the doorway
Just unfold your light so clear

Sun will break on through the all gray
Feel it in your heart - it's near

One thing atop the list of essentials in life is unquestionably laughter
'a sense of humor' for many is preferred in a partner they're after
A witty personality has been part of me since I was just a boy
humor was conducive to me breaking away from completely coy

Evoking a smile is something I always accomplish without trying
inducing one to laugh so hysterically they cry is most satisfying
Robin Williams brought more faces joy than stars occupying sky
for some incessant joking is a coping mechanism needed to get by

Williams, Pryor, and Carlin were the epitome of funny and clever
The Big Three are "The Cream of the Crop" and will be forever
"Laughter" I've ascertained over the years has medicinal benefit
whatever fills you with elation for even a precious moment is legit

In my life 'laughter' has indubitably been my most significant need
without it 'existence' would be an even more unbearable one indeed

Those special people, at time met
Series of stages, quickly set
Communication, comes with ease
What is spoken, can only please

We meet these people, without a plan
Do we sense impact, when eyes ran
Across a room, a crowd or time
A fleeting moment, and yet a sign

Whether a smile, lights a face
Or beating hearts, gain pace
Suddenly....aware of emotions
Stirring inside, cause commotions

Timing...the process must start
Soon to realize, part of your heart
Will never belong, to you alone
With them forever, thoughts will roam

Love comes is many different forms
Like mother to her child... newborn
Possession, some believe is love
Never to progress, to cooing doves

Unconditional, is a love so true
Developed between, loving two
But if one loves, and one does not
Pain-n-heartache, is all you've got

If you are lucky, and love is found
Others voices, will make no sound
Eyes on a single lover rest
To each other, give your best

I would watch him as he slept,
by his presence graced.
So amazed at times I wept,
to see this angel's face.

Listen to him tell his dreams,
wonder filled my mind.
The radiance he would beam,
for a future he might find.

I walked proudly by his side,
this angel of mine.
Amidst people in a tide,
a beauty so fine.

I'd lose my breath at the sight,
of his lovely smile.
Nothing ever felt so right,
for the longest while.

But now my angel has gone,
far away from me.
Still never will I regret,
those times, him and me.

Cannot sleep as I'm considering stealing a kiss,
My woman sleeps beside me as I ponder her dreams and fantasies,
I stare at an unconscious beauty so how can I not kiss her?
Dare I wake her with a tender caress of my wanting lips,
Or leave my sleeping beauty lay where she lays,
Undisturbed but unaware of my attentions to her,
Let me lean in and feel her breath, Hear her soul live,
Make my innocent advance just be one beautiful moment,
I do not wish to wake her though I want to promote my love,
I lean in and feel her warm breath on my face,
Like a warm breeze on a blossomed morning's touch,
I finally kiss her lips as gentle as I possibly care,
Though this tender touch grew her stunning eye's to open,
With this I was amazed by a picture unfold upon me,
As the most amazing smile began to shine and glisten,
Her eye's shared mine and our kiss cried love,
Now I can sleep with this image in my mind,
Always with me, my woman, my beauty of mine.....
