WORDS YOU SAID
Words that you said and no longer say,
Words like a sun that burned me,
Crazy eyes from blowing wind
In eyes that were mine, and happier.
Words you said and said
Secrets that were slow at dawn,
Imperfect, murmured promises
While our kisses allow.
Words that say, meaningless,
No way, but just because they were
That brings the calm of the stars
At night that associates to my ear ...
Words that do not say, nor are yours,
Who died, who no longer exist
That are mine, only mine, because they persist
In the memory that drags through the streets.
Words like a sun that burned me,
Crazy eyes from blowing wind
In eyes that were mine, and happier.
Words you said and said
Secrets that were slow at dawn,
Imperfect, murmured promises
While our kisses allow.
Words that say, meaningless,
No way, but just because they were
That brings the calm of the stars
At night that associates to my ear ...
Words that do not say, nor are yours,
Who died, who no longer exist
That are mine, only mine, because they persist
In the memory that drags through the streets.

About this poem:
Words you said
You said you loved me!
See me here and tell no lies, of the feelings you have deep inside.
You look at me and all you see, is an object you want to own, how can this be, you say you love me but in your eyes I see, that all you really want is to control me, when I should eat and when I should sleep, this isn't love you feel for me, you just want to control and dominate me, I tell you no and please let me go free, yet you continue to emotional blackmail me, and threaten family if I ever leave, then you tell me your sorry and try to kiss me, once I felt loved that's turned to fear, and all the sweet nothings you whisper in my ear, have no effect cause I know your not sincere, for I now know what you truly are, someone that pretends about feelings and lies who they are, please let me go before it gets to far, be a man let me go or you just might live to regret what I know.

About this poem:
Life can be hard sometimes!
Messed up World
Wrath, wrath and wrath
Hate, hate and hate
War, war and war
Conspiracy galores everywhere
Killings, bombs, missiles,
Stabbings, shootings, homicides and suicides,
Displaced and dillusional
Strife and poverty,
Floods and famines,
Helpless and needy,
People in sorrow everywhere.
We ponder, on this messed up World
As we hear over and over, Attrocities.
But cannot fathom,
How the hate started.
Hate, hate and hate
War, war and war
Conspiracy galores everywhere
Killings, bombs, missiles,
Stabbings, shootings, homicides and suicides,
Displaced and dillusional
Strife and poverty,
Floods and famines,
Helpless and needy,
People in sorrow everywhere.
We ponder, on this messed up World
As we hear over and over, Attrocities.
But cannot fathom,
How the hate started.

About this poem:
Just ignore those who are bad.Try to make a better World.
We need to start from "me", "I", or "myself"
Wish a possible mindset for peace to All around The World in
2024
my love
How deep is your love,i will lead you through the beautiful paths of love
You will feel like a baby again,i will look into your eyes,
just like the way we look at a paradise in a big picture.
When i take you through my heart,you will see beautiful houses built in my
heart for you.
I will give you the comfort you have never seen before,you will rest on my chest
at night and hold my hands at fright.so much i wanna do for you,i wish i knew too
I will always blow your mind in different kind of ways,this is a special task for me
from our creator,my heart beat.

About this poem:
it talks about the vibes of a healthy relationship
For Someone...
When she says margarita she means daiquiri.
When she says quixotic she means mercurial.
And when she says, "I'll never speak to you again,"
she means, "Put your arms around me from behind
as I stand disconsolate at the window."
He's supposed to know that.
When a man loves a woman he is in New York and she is in Virginia
or he is in Boston, writing, and she is in New York, reading,
or she is wearing a sweater and sunglasses in Balboa Park and he is raking leaves in Ithaca
or he is driving to East Hampton and she is standing disconsolate
at the window overlooking the bay
where a regatta of many-colored sails is going on
while he is stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway.
When a woman loves a man it is one ten in the morning
she is asleep he is watching the ball scores and eating pretzels
drinking lemonade
and two hours later he wakes up and staggers into bed
where she remains asleep and very warm.
When she says tomorrow she means in three or four weeks.
When she says, "We're talking about me now,"
he stops talking. Her best friend comes over and says,
"Did somebody die?"
When a woman loves a man, they have gone
to swim naked in the stream
on a glorious July day
with the sound of the waterfall like a chuckle
of water rushing over smooth rocks,
and there is nothing alien in the universe.
Ripe apples fall about them.
What else can they do but eat?
When he says, "Ours is a transitional era,"
"that's very original of you," she replies,
dry as the martini he is sipping.
They fight all the time
It's fun
What do I owe you?
Let's start with an apology
Ok, I'm sorry, you dickhead.
A sign is held up saying "Laughter."
It's a silent picture.
"I've been f*cked without a kiss," she says,
"and you can quote me on that,"
which sounds great in an English accent.
One year they broke up seven times and threatened to do it another nine times.
When a woman loves a man, she wants him to meet her at the airport in a foreign country with a jeep.
When a man loves a woman he's there. He doesn't complain that she's two hours late
and there's nothing in the refrigerator.
When a woman loves a man, she wants to stay awake.
She's like a child crying
at nightfall because she didn't want the day to end.
When a man loves a woman, he watches her sleep, thinking:
as midnight to the moon is sleep to the beloved.
A thousand fireflies wink at him.
The frogs sound like the string section
of the orchestra warming up.
The stars dangle down like earrings the shape of grapes.

ordinary love
I see you everyday
its not important you see me
I'm the the man who moors his boat
near your house upon the quay
your son is older than me
learning issues, t'would appear
he follows you like gravity
like a worry follows fear
you never appear angry
in the face of nature's mirth
everyday he walks beside you
every day a brand new shirt
"who looks after you?" I think
as the ocean soaks the sands
you hold your son so tightly
an umbilical cord of hands
you always seem to have a smile
as you fumble for your key
I'm humbled by your kindness
you must be north of sixty - three
I worry for your future
but there's steel around your home
a dignity past this modern place
a swan a'swim in chrome
its not important you see me

Voice through void
I find myself in this same old place
Feeling way old my usual space
Been here before almost all of my life
Thinking what ifs and feeling like mice
Deadly that silence lurking by shadows
Creeps closer and closer knight arming the gallows
Quiet all around, echo in place
She sounds bright siren sets thunder bolts grace
Voice through void hear pitch clear my love my baby
Accepting my fate, the risk I had to take maybe
Moments with you a martyr lay wait
Can nothing a pedestal I make
Holding with might, the night forsake
Feeling no warmth, a fear I hate
Toughing cold haste still see by blur
Truth sinking feeling abandoned by her
Now all that is left is odor heaven scent
A waking nightmare, tear locked eyes ever bent
Sitting and staring most of time
Pain through the window false whish for my sign
Drops of pure light slice thought face key, memory smile fill, shimmer of three
Avoiding green stew anger to follow stabbing my gut another to be
Spinning in circles loop pity forever
Infinite sadness thick chocking despair disables together
Need to escape unable to move lost in self-doubt, man fits bill
Cornered by loneliness trapped by worlds no sign will
Locked universal a partner be
Hurt waves break tide she is set free
No need to pretend a love once me
Knowing full well you were taking the key
Often, I wonder life probability seen
Patient I delay stepping in stars beam
Scatter and fall light actors final play
I hope one day another might stray
Feeding my love, I will give it away
Not to long now I rock and sway
Whispers lips close soft get near
Transfixed by her gaze kiss tilted neck here
Moving as one unable to fake
I say night mantra, miss you and need you forever future soul mate
Feeling way old my usual space
Been here before almost all of my life
Thinking what ifs and feeling like mice
Deadly that silence lurking by shadows
Creeps closer and closer knight arming the gallows
Quiet all around, echo in place
She sounds bright siren sets thunder bolts grace
Voice through void hear pitch clear my love my baby
Accepting my fate, the risk I had to take maybe
Moments with you a martyr lay wait
Can nothing a pedestal I make

About this poem:
Well, my girlfriend left me.I had to0 much to drink and wrote down some of my thoughts and feelings.
I have never written a poem in my life before this.
Infatuation.
I suppose even heaven can wait,
So is the burden on the heart
Knowing the disapointment you sense and feel
Once there never forgotten?
We have to move on
Like a train leaving a station but not knowing if you will return
Waiting can drain you to the core
Sure it was nice but to be perfect in this world does not seem to exist
We cannot close the door but the draught can be disturbing
A man has to take it, to be a Man is to take it
Move on until the next time it happens but there is always a chance
A chance that it will never happen again!
So is the burden on the heart
Knowing the disapointment you sense and feel
Once there never forgotten?
We have to move on
Like a train leaving a station but not knowing if you will return
Waiting can drain you to the core
Sure it was nice but to be perfect in this world does not seem to exist
We cannot close the door but the draught can be disturbing
A man has to take it, to be a Man is to take it
Move on until the next time it happens but there is always a chance
A chance that it will never happen again!

About this poem:
When the day comes and we are togetheronline now!Did they tell you?
Did they tell you?
My eyes do not sleep in your absence.. Did they tell you?
After you, my heart refused to speak. Did they tell you?
How did I get lost in the crowd? Did they tell you?
My heart attempts to escape to you to read peace upon you. Did they tell you?
Life after you will be long hours and days of suffering. They would be lying if they told you
Without you I'll be fine
My eyes do not sleep in your absence.. Did they tell you?
After you, my heart refused to speak. Did they tell you?
How did I get lost in the crowd? Did they tell you?
My heart attempts to escape to you to read peace upon you. Did they tell you?
Life after you will be long hours and days of suffering. They would be lying if they told you
Without you I'll be fine
