I Miss you
A little too much
A little too often
And a little more every day

About this poem:
Simple words have a deep love storyonline today!Regret and pain
Here I am, stumbling down the street
The rain's pouring down
I'm staring at my feet
But splashing on my feet it is
my tears and not the rain
They're are salty and bloodstained
From my agonizing pain
Nobody could be more
mad at me than me
Why was I so stupid?
Never again will she trust me
She's asking me too many questions
Ones I want so much to ignore
But I've brought this on myself
What else could I have been asking for?
When I think about the way things are
The tears roll down my face
If only I could turn back time
I would've never ended up in this place.
The rain's pouring down
I'm staring at my feet
But splashing on my feet it is
my tears and not the rain
They're are salty and bloodstained
From my agonizing pain
Nobody could be more
mad at me than me
Why was I so stupid?
Never again will she trust me
She's asking me too many questions
Ones I want so much to ignore
But I've brought this on myself
What else could I have been asking for?
When I think about the way things are
The tears roll down my face
If only I could turn back time
I would've never ended up in this place.

About this poem:
Just like to share some wordsonline today!Tiny Shred Of Love
Floating, heart askew
In the dark deep tunnel of nothing
Claw with every cell of me
Reach out for anger greed sorrow
Not the alone gray empty
Tiny shred of light
I wait for, hope for
A delusion there to help
Hold my hand tighter
Around the severing rope
My only tie to the world
A better life, twinkle dust
Of joy, love, a home
No more tears, aching soul
For a touch to hold on
Until then hope for, wait for
The tiny shred of love.
In the dark deep tunnel of nothing

My only tie to the world
A better life, twinkle dust
Of joy, love, a home
No more tears, aching soul
For a touch to hold on
Until then hope for, wait for
The tiny shred of love.

About this poem:
dont be disappointed
Fighting against injustice
We have to draw a line somewhere
And stand for our convictions
But many fail to do so
lest they risk some soft position
But thank God for rare exceptions
with the guts to stand their ground
and oppose some great injustice
that is being handed down
Risking job and reputation
Standing up for what is right.
Lord please comfort, bless and keep them
Make them strong and help them fight
And stand for our convictions
But many fail to do so
lest they risk some soft position
But thank God for rare exceptions
with the guts to stand their ground
and oppose some great injustice
that is being handed down
Risking job and reputation
Standing up for what is right.
Lord please comfort, bless and keep them
Make them strong and help them fight

About this poem:
just like to share a beautiful song with music
Equinox
As the weather softly turns
Beckoning in the Equinox
Clusters of colourful bulbs
Dance and sway in the breeze
Eagles swoop up on thermals
Flying high until they are specks
Golden feathers gleaming amid
Heather glowing white on the hills
Indigo skies with puffy clouds
Jutting into various shapes
Kale drift by lazily snapping flies
Luscious grasses adorn the meadows
Mushrooms appear nestled under trees
Nightingales sweetly sing in Spring
Osprey dive deep for fish
Plunging in time and again
Quaint old fashioned flowers
Radiant with rainbow colours
Spread rampant in the beds
Tulips dip and bow in greeting
Under the hosta's a dormouse lives
Velvet nose twitching the air
Watching out for birds of prey
Xanado bathed in sunshine highlights
Yellow buttercups which coat the ground as
Zenith of Spring soon now will fade away.

the form used here is Abecedarian which uses each letter alphabetically in turn completely different from the ABC form
Boxes
There are boxes on shelves,
they litter my mind.
I sift through them sometimes,
too see what I find.
Hurts, disappointments,
friends and lost loves.
A girl I can't remember,
rises over lifes shoves.
A mother, a wife,
she's a lover, a friend.
Broken and battered,
fighting so life won't end.
I rattle my boxes,
see what will fall out.
Spent dreams and desires,
landing all about.
I look on in wonder,
at all of my past.
Tangled around me,
I touch broken parts.
But then I look deeper,
a smile warms my heart.
I find laughter and love,
hopes, dreams, second starts.
they litter my mind.
I sift through them sometimes,
too see what I find.
Hurts, disappointments,

A girl I can't remember,

A mother, a wife,

Broken and battered,
fighting so life won't end.
I rattle my boxes,

Spent dreams and desires,
landing all about.
I look on in wonder,
at all of my past.

But then I look deeper,
a smile warms my heart.
I find laughter and love,
hopes, dreams, second starts.

About this poem:
I guess that this poem describes those moments in time, when we look back at all the baggage we carry, and how we attempt to compartmentalise it, to reduce its effect of our present lives
EVERY SKY IS A NEW SKY
EVERY MORNING IS A NEW MORNING
and EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY
and EVERY NIGHT IS A NEW NIGHT
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD LOVE MORE
AND EVERY ROSE IS A NEW ROSE
and EVERY FULL MOON IS A NEW MOON
and EVERY SKY IS A NEW SKY
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD RISK MORE
AND EVERY HEARTBEAT IS A NEW HEARTBEAT
and EVERY BREATH IS A NEW BREATH
and EVERY SMILE IS A NEW SMILE
BUT STILL
I WISH THAT I COULD BE MORE
and EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY
and EVERY NIGHT IS A NEW NIGHT
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD LOVE MORE
AND EVERY ROSE IS A NEW ROSE
and EVERY FULL MOON IS A NEW MOON
and EVERY SKY IS A NEW SKY
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD RISK MORE
AND EVERY HEARTBEAT IS A NEW HEARTBEAT
and EVERY BREATH IS A NEW BREATH
and EVERY SMILE IS A NEW SMILE
BUT STILL
I WISH THAT I COULD BE MORE

About this poem:
Blowing through heaven and earth, and in our hearts and the heart of every living thing, is a gigantic breath—a great Cry—which we call God. Plant life wished to continue its motionless sleep next to stagnant water, but the Cry leaped up within it and violently shook its roots: “Away, let go of the earth, walk!” Had the tree been able to think and judge, it would have cried, “I don’t want to. What are you urging me to do! You are demanding the impossible! But the Cry, without pity, kept shaking its roots and shouting, “Away, let go of the earth, walk!”Animals appeared--worms--making themselves at home in water and mud. "We're just fine here," they said... But the terrible Cry hammered itself pitilessly into their loins. "Leave the mud, stand up, give birth to your betters!"... And lo! after thousands of eons, man emerged, trembling on his still unsolid legs... He has been fighting, again for thousands of eons, to draw himself, like a sword, out of his animalistic scabbard. He is also fighting--this is his new struggle--to draw himself out of his human scabbard. Man calls in despair, "Where can I go? I have reached the pinnacle, beyond is the abyss." And the Cry answers, "I am beyond. Stand up!"
-Kazantzakis
Abecedarian
After the storm eased slowly
Big waves smashed against the shore
Causing havoc every where
Drinking more than he should
Eating until stuffed
Feet sliding every where
Grabbing at straws
He caught on to what he could
Into the sea he waded
Jigging about he got soaked
Keeping to his feet only just
Looking every where
Masts in the distance
Nothing else out there
Or not that he could see
Perhaps a castle far away
Queen could be dining
Royal banners flapping
Swimming towards it
Took a long time
Under the spell
Victory not clear
Washed up on the shore
Xebec sailing past
Yacht moored near by
Zanzibar in the distance
Big waves smashed against the shore
Causing havoc every where
Drinking more than he should
Eating until stuffed
Feet sliding every where
Grabbing at straws
He caught on to what he could
Into the sea he waded
Jigging about he got soaked
Keeping to his feet only just
Looking every where
Masts in the distance
Nothing else out there
Or not that he could see
Perhaps a castle far away
Queen could be dining
Royal banners flapping
Swimming towards it
Took a long time
Under the spell
Victory not clear
Washed up on the shore
Xebec sailing past
Yacht moored near by
Zanzibar in the distance

Post Commentonline today!I Promise
I am giving you this ring as a promise to you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true
For you, I would walk a thousand miles and more
Just to see your beautiful smile that I absolutely adore
I promise that I will make you smile when you feel like crying
I promise that I will comfort you if you feel like dying
I promise to steal away your every sorrow and fear
I promise to wipe away your every tear
I promise to cherish every minute I spend with you
Until the daylight sky is no longer the color of blue
Without your love, I do not know what I would do
I will not have a future unless it involves you
You've changed me for the better and I have never been so happy
Now, with you in my life, I can't picture a world without you and me
Fate decided it was time for us to be together
And though our time here on Earth is short, I promise I want you always and forever
I promise that no matter what may happen we will make it through
Please take this ring as a symbol of the love I will always have for you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true
For you, I would walk a thousand miles and more
Just to see your beautiful smile that I absolutely adore
I promise that I will make you smile when you feel like crying
I promise that I will comfort you if you feel like dying
I promise to steal away your every sorrow and fear
I promise to wipe away your every tear
I promise to cherish every minute I spend with you
Until the daylight sky is no longer the color of blue
Without your love, I do not know what I would do
I will not have a future unless it involves you
You've changed me for the better and I have never been so happy
Now, with you in my life, I can't picture a world without you and me
Fate decided it was time for us to be together
And though our time here on Earth is short, I promise I want you always and forever
I promise that no matter what may happen we will make it through
Please take this ring as a symbol of the love I will always have for you
