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...

I sat here waiting for you..breathlessly anticipating the moment that u found me, and I found you. I would know you would know because we've met before, not here not now but in another life...u look at me and I smiled I felt butterflies as u laughingly flirted with me I flirted back, n then I knew it was you, my senses cleared the world was right again papa was home...

Jabage *

The waves lap at the shore
tempting me each time they
wash over my toes

Another step taken
the sea takes me further
into its grasp

I have no fear
deeper
the water envelopes me
safe like loving arms

The ocean just like love
has hidden depths
Each wave brings
us closer to
peace

Tossing, turning, alone at night
That same old feeling conjures up inside
Thoughts and fears bring me to tears
Oh how I wish I could rewind the years
Mistakes made, people change
We take it with us, as we age
As if to carry my own cross
If I fall to my knees, will I feel at ease?
Hours pass, it's a new day
but tonight the pain will start over again

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.....

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

HEART FEELINGS

Can love be dangerous to your health
Taking deeply to heart all that is felt
Year after year absorbing these feelings
Keeping them hid and not revealing

Years of the stress and pain
Absorbing the shocks again and again
Like earthquake waves rolling inside
With no way to release other than cry

The feeling of being shutout and alone
Dealing day to day with the unknown
Trying to smile and be normal to others
When inside loneliness always hovers

Worrying and helping those you love
Holding inside what your feelings are
What happens when you feel too much
Can your heart give out from such

Can the heart take the continuous beating
Without harm being done from all the feelings
No one can be sure if this can be true
It’s something I think about – do you?

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.

The red rose is touched by dew :-

Tears from a red rose
Blood from her womb
So few will know.

Known by so few
Tears from a red rose
So few will know.

Blood from her womb
Tears from a red rose
So few will know.
