~From the dark he came~
Drizzled water painted in brown
From where he came to abound in life
Cynical'd in thought
Life form's been shaped.
He'd wondered often how that water
Muddied up.
Yet those times they were few
Compared to his very
Mind thought's on display.
While his balance of time
Never brought him ashore.
The best he's hoped for
Was behind distant doors.
Eyes foggy glazed, lights silhouette
Nylons upon them echoed steel walls
Diamond reflection hosting
Distant skin Pierced.
My mind takes my feet say's go for a walk
Pain's gone away, for a while at least
While that warmed blanket
Keeps
The cold with itself!

About this poem:
I'm not sure how the one's dealt a bad card in life from birth with a mental health issue, or perhaps later in life, see their world. All I can do is try to understand by trying to go there myself. The reason I write this is, a very special lady (she's a registered nurse) in my life deals with people like this daily, I want to understand more of her days at work. The last three lines hold the key to understand.
I will always love you until my dying day
Would you just listen and please don't say a word, just yet,
I'd like you to think back to the very first time we met,
How you felt around me? The memories we shared,
And just remember that once upon a time, you really cared.
Now think about how we parted, and how much I cried,
But please don't speak, remember that I never ever lied,
That I told you the honest truth about why we were to split,
But now I'd like you to know that my heart brokes bit by bit.
The pain is deep, unbearable and painful,for so many years,
I'll never forget all the sadness, all the uncontrollable tears,
Slowly I am rebuilding my life, I am content with what I've got,
And although it is hard I am beginning to forget what I have not.
You were a special part of my life that I will never forget,
A part of my life that left me heartbroken, but that I regret,
You gave me some happy memories that I'll keep in my heart,
Although sometimes I wish that you and I didn't have to part.
You were my first true love and only love, that will always be so,
After all of the heartache, sadness and never ending pain, I know,
You and I had something special and that will never change,
Because I love you and loving someone else seem strange and will always seem wrong.
Would you just listen and please don't say a word,
I'd like you to remember that once upon a time, we said forever,
That I had hopes of true love dreams and that you was the one who threw it away,
And ill tell you something I will always love you until my dying day.

About this poem:
my first love and i really did love him but he cont see how much i cared its so sad when this happens because if he had taken the time to see real true love that was right in front off him and that he dint have to do what he did and for him to be so hung up on others. we would still be together and happy i don't even think he understands what he has done wrong and how different we could have been together all i want is one chance to talk to him to try make him understand that i was faithful the hole time i was with him and that he was wrong
SNOW NEVER MELT
There is something
that i want you
to guess that thing
its white, sweet and
cool but its not
vanilla and ice cream
yes, its true
if your answer is snow
but you can't eat snow
is white love
why ? because
Love is white and sweet
you can grab it
and feel it
in your heart
love is eternal
love is immortal
and strong
Dear, i don't know
where are you now
but your love is
meaning to me
i'll be waiting for you
even a century
two centuries
because a love
that i give to you
is never melt
forever and ever
that i want you
to guess that thing
its white, sweet and
cool but its not
vanilla and ice cream
yes, its true
if your answer is snow
but you can't eat snow
is white love
why ? because
Love is white and sweet
you can grab it
and feel it
in your heart
love is eternal
love is immortal
and strong
Dear, i don't know
where are you now
but your love is
meaning to me
i'll be waiting for you
even a century
two centuries
because a love
that i give to you
is never melt
forever and ever

About this poem:
Snow has many definition actually, it could be love and affection
Good bye...
My heart started to cry...
It's been crying a long time now
Saying good bye
Seems like tears are the norm...
And I want to stop but I don't know how
Everyday I think of you
And all the things we used to do...
Wondering if you were a dream come true
But now it feels like I scarcely know you
The signs foretell
What my body and soul knows well
You've gone and left me
Maybe not physically
But
Certainly mentally...
I yearn for you and ache in places I never knew
But know that I will never tell you
I feel like running and shouting,
Screaming and jumping
Throwing a tantrum or two
But.... No,
That will never do
So much to say, So much to do
I dreamt of doing it all with you
But now I am awake,
I dream no more
And the visions evaporate
As I watch you leave through that door...
So I will grit my teeth,
Wear my brightest smile
Even though I want to die
And I will stand and close the door
And open it nevermore.

About this poem:
(sigh)..... for all those brokenhearted people..... only a word of advice, live love laugh..... and pray that God gives you the strength to open that door another day.
The smile on my face
There once was a man who held open his arm's, had a face like thunder,
so he took a bottle of karma's. Suddenly the sky gloom to gray and he has lost his way. Hell is burning up from the ground , trying to hide so he can't be found. Tears of fear and none is near, then a quick sudden flash from the deep black sky, a shadow meets his eye, a kiss from a angel deep within , opens his eyes to find a sin, all he wanted to see is all around him , truth was told the story unfold all he had was a deep broken heart , he never knew where to start.
The smile on my face hides my pain that i lost you, the tear in my eye hide's the fact your gone, the beat of my heart is getting slower and deep , deep of pain , deep of fear , where is that hidden smile, where is the friendly tear, its locked up in a box until your return, return from my past that hunts me day and night, wakes me up from the nightmares in my dream, so much pain so much fear i
promise it wont go until you re-appear. what has happen what has go neon all i know is , i'm locked in a dark cold room waiting to be free, i ask my self how do i be free , the only answer is you have to come and find me. all was said all was lost , but my love for you will always go on.

My life has been a battle
full of ups and downs
and its been full of struggles
but was up to me to turn it around
and although I cared for others
there was one who I forgot
the one who tried to do his best
but inside he was full of knots
and I am now in such a better place
for I found peace within my heart
now I can help others
who've also struggled at the start
I do not hold any grudges
for I love all equally
because our love is shared between us
and in the end, it will set us free
full of ups and downs
and its been full of struggles
but was up to me to turn it around
and although I cared for others
there was one who I forgot

Away with knowledge
How does one praise the glories
of life?
What gifts could I bring to the
alter of understanding?
Though my years are many am I still
not childlike in my quest for wisdom?
O yes, I remember my days well upon
this earth
As a child I played in a sandbox as have
multitudes and never gave a thought to
the majesty of the heavens
But my eyes were clear and blue and my
mothers milk was the ocean of life
I knew nothing of bullets and of fire
and war
I only knew myself and the unspoken truth
of divine knowledge came in a warm blanket
wrapped around my tender frame
But the days would come when the sting
of some hellish intruder would produce
a thorn in my heart
My toys I must set aside for a new knowledge
of bruises that would not heal
Thorns whose blood born in a river of hate
must give me pause to think
Infant eyes that saw only cotton candy and
christmas trees were now reading the words
of the old philosophers
But I wanna go home to the warm
Wanna fall into heavens sleep
For I have not found all that the
mind had promised
I have observed the mathematicians with
their slide rules and pencils and yet
their equations though ever so precise
had left their hearts cold and behold they
had lost their home in the midst of some
souless spirit of life
Then knowledge was just another one of my
broken toys and did I not fair just as well
when in my pristine ignorance I swung starry
eyed on my swing sucking my thumb?
I wanna go home where life is life and I
don't have to think anymore
I wanna know without knowing
That is the world of true love
Away with knowledge..

About this poem:
WOMAN YOU TOOK MY LIFE
Each of us is Captain
Like a Captain
who wrongly measures cone of his ship
towards star;
our dreams burning in heavenly light
carries much beauty in mist
and danger of high Expectations,
as heart that sailing in open sea
first sees beauty in sunny days of adventures
before meeting sea hurricanes,
while loneliness of sailing
brings many temptations...
Listening beautiful voice of mermaids
crashes dreaming ship to sea rocks.
Captain heart strand on shallow sand.
Each of us is Captain
to be at the helm of life ship,
Breading freshness,
that rainbow collar leaves after every rain.
Feeling like a passing traveler
Captured by moments of beauty and sadness,
Life and Death so closely holds hands,
In eternity circle.
And sea rocks laughs
over us,
Like we laugh over them...
who wrongly measures cone of his ship
towards star;
our dreams burning in heavenly light
carries much beauty in mist
and danger of high Expectations,
as heart that sailing in open sea
first sees beauty in sunny days of adventures
before meeting sea hurricanes,
while loneliness of sailing
brings many temptations...
Listening beautiful voice of mermaids
crashes dreaming ship to sea rocks.
Captain heart strand on shallow sand.
Each of us is Captain
to be at the helm of life ship,
Breading freshness,
that rainbow collar leaves after every rain.
Feeling like a passing traveler
Captured by moments of beauty and sadness,
Life and Death so closely holds hands,
In eternity circle.
And sea rocks laughs
over us,
Like we laugh over them...

About this poem:
Thank you for taking time in reading.
perfect smile
giving one soul
to the spirit
each breath
that of beauty
i respect you
honey holding
one dial
on a golden compass
point of destiny's arrow
strikes lucky
lodged deeply
inside the heart
folding out
from inner vision
unbelievable magic enchanting
the deepest pipes
playing sweetest music
it's only
you my love
who held me sweetly
in the middle
of a perfect rainbow
center of joy
putting these arms
one full circle
embracing colours
cherishing thoughts
around you beautiful
through the mirrors
looking upon you
dazzling both eyes
milky white smiling
adoring beauty
sweetly whispers
landing kisses
softly lips
dances moist
on a dream
to the spirit
each breath
that of beauty
i respect you
honey holding
one dial
on a golden compass
point of destiny's arrow
strikes lucky
lodged deeply
inside the heart
folding out
from inner vision
unbelievable magic enchanting
the deepest pipes
playing sweetest music
it's only
you my love
who held me sweetly
in the middle
of a perfect rainbow
center of joy
putting these arms
one full circle
embracing colours
cherishing thoughts
around you beautiful
through the mirrors
looking upon you
dazzling both eyes
milky white smiling
adoring beauty
sweetly whispers
landing kisses
softly lips
dances moist
on a dream
