Freedom of Speech

We're all quite blessed to be so free
And share our points of view.
We're free to speak our minds and thoughts
The same as others do.

We're free to raise another's spirits
Or malign them as we choose.
We're free to sing of joyful thoughts
We're free to sing the blues.

We're free to focus on the good
Or dwell on what we hate.
We're free to praise a noble act
Or sternly castigate.

We're free to offer heartfelt thanks
For blessings we have had.
And we're free to curse and voice our hate
Of things we think are bad.

We're free to choose the things we say
And choosing well is good.
Because we're free to denigrate
Is not to say we should.

If we wish to right atrocious wrongs
Our silence cannot do.
But in speaking of what's very wrong,
What's right must be said, too.

Without a message loud and clear
Of what things must be done.
Vitriolic words of hate
Are clouds that blot the sun.

Leaders rise and pave the way
And pull their comrades from the ditch.
But change for good is never made
By those who only want to b*tch.

Calling the Dead

We speak
their names into the sky,
across the void
we call out to them.

We seek signs
they have made it through-
to give us a word, some hint
of what happens
when we die.

They don't reply-

just stand in the shadows
and shake their heads at us.

Love In Flight...

See the two birds soar
weightless in the wind,
floating like the butterfly
forever and ever to ascend
shrinking in sky so heavenly blue...

Blue for me,
blue for you...

Towards the sun they glide,
streaming in the autumn breeze,
effortlessly in undisputed flight,
while we stroll below them in our ease
along our garden path...

You pick a flower for me,
and I one for you...

Soft petals descend into the wind,
we wish for our own wings to fly,
like the gulls above us flapping feathers,
for now we can only gaze and sigh
that our love will carry us away...

A feather floats down for me,
and a soft downy one for you...

THE GARDEN

Take me to your garden,let moon lights glow shine upon your soul. Reflected stars in your eyes as cooling breezes are so kind.Gifts of patience given as unfolding petals release loves sweet surrender. Let your magic spell upon me flow,wheeling in tranquilitys touch,to mark the ages dawn

LOOK TO HIM

For he wanted to make
an impact to our youth.
He wanted to entertain
them if only for a
moment of time to catch
their attention.
To give a message off YOU
Lord to them.
For then they will listen
and they will know YOU.
They will follow the path
you have laid out for them
L.. O..R..D
They will let you be the
guide LORD.
They will love.
They will honor you
forever and ever
A..M..E..N

Listen Closely

For God's word went
silent and no one
can hear how he
wants you to come
to thee.
For they can not
hear what is inside
of the bible.
They can not hear
all he has for
you and me.
He loves us with
all of his heart
so he will show
you the love inside
him for you.
He shows how enduring
his love can be to
all that he sees
and all that is to be.
For his love is
forever for all of his
christian family.

Timeless

The quiet air of despair lingers on,
forgotten memories show their face,
the love I had held, so long gone,
passions arose and died without trace,


This time last year my heart was ablaze,
Green trees turning to Autumns brown,
I now realise for you it was a passing phase,
lips no longer smiling but carrying a frown,


Family and friends know am not the same,
becoming the quiet and silent recluse,
loving someone for real is never a game,
being disheartened and broken is not an excuse,


Silent promises to self to ride out the storm,
Putting life into this saddened figure,
timeless emotions leaves one forlorn,
so many times I wanted to pull that trigger,


A timeless lesson learned of loves chase,
sceptical and disillusioned of a future meet,
love slowly and never in haste,
but am still here and standing on my own two feet.

About this poem:
Does one really ever get over the person we felt was the very soul of you. Since the event of being told goodbye, have tried a couple of dates locally without success. Maybe time has now told me I was just that little too late. Fear not am just reminscing but my feelings always show in my words, been a while since I penned anything alas it is sadness filled.

Dream

I wish to see a day of storm,
Of flying rocks and thousand roses
I wish could go where no one knows
if I must go or even thought it.

I wish could fly away the sky
And find a universe of dreams
That never was, were never gone
Just timber quietly for me.

I wish could be a giant Shark
And swim the ocean just for pleasure
Could go so deep where no one was
And see the real black colour’s danger.

I wish to see the eyes of one
A one who I don’t know or dream of
Just a surprise between the folks
A momentaneus whisper’s fever.

I wish could know what were my dreams
And how to walk without a meaning
Where was my way, if ever been
Where went the day when I’ve been clever.

I wish, but wishes never happen
I see, but views are never true
I fly, gad no wings, direction either
I talk, but never say true word for You.

I try to spell the world’s imagine
I try to follow my past handy steps
I try to know the dreams I gad now
I try to love, but there is no sense of it.

Would say - there’s sense in all that lines
Would number reasons, rules, a meaning
Would call my self a foolish pride
But
should just have cup of sleeping tee.

Imagine MI5 or CIA agents discussing Poetry.

What would they write?
Would it be politically right?
Would it state their favourite bites?
Would it involve fights?
Would you have to be bright?
to understand it.
Would it be trite?
Too many thoughts?
