Reflections of Battles Won
What did that dark whisper say
I sense something very strange
Those gathering clouds so gray
Bringing a strong storm arrange
I fell helpless torn from freedom
Ripped like the shirt off my back
Struck down like tunes Te Deum
Adrift in this raging Sea of Black
What hope wait fresh and found
Release me and free me of pain
Lift my spirit up from the ground
In my flight to freedom will I gain
Today we hunker down and fight
Not lose our way from all reason
For truth we must reach for light
And let peace become in season
I sense something very strange
Those gathering clouds so gray
Bringing a strong storm arrange
I fell helpless torn from freedom
Ripped like the shirt off my back
Struck down like tunes Te Deum
Adrift in this raging Sea of Black
What hope wait fresh and found
Release me and free me of pain
Lift my spirit up from the ground
In my flight to freedom will I gain
Today we hunker down and fight
Not lose our way from all reason
For truth we must reach for light
And let peace become in season

About this poem:
For those who hunger for war, I will counter for peace.
AWAKE
I NEVER DREAMED OF YOU.
NOT EVEN IN A NIGHTMARE.
I HAVE ERASED YOU FROM MIND.
I SCRUBBED YOUR TOUCH OFF MY BODY.
YOUR HARSH WORDS PIERCED HEART LIKE A SHARP SWORD.
I CAME TO REALIZE THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN, I HAVE TO DIE TO GET THERE.
I DRINK TO GET RID OF THE PAIN OF YOU.
HOPING THE SADNESS AND LOVE FADE AWAY.
PEOPLE SAY THE 1ST DRINK GOES TO THE ELDERS. THE LAST DRINK IS FOR THE ONE WE LOVE.
THE EMPTY BOTTLE IS FOR THE ONE WE WANT TO FORGET.
NOT EVEN IN A NIGHTMARE.
I HAVE ERASED YOU FROM MIND.
I SCRUBBED YOUR TOUCH OFF MY BODY.
YOUR HARSH WORDS PIERCED HEART LIKE A SHARP SWORD.
I CAME TO REALIZE THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN, I HAVE TO DIE TO GET THERE.
I DRINK TO GET RID OF THE PAIN OF YOU.
HOPING THE SADNESS AND LOVE FADE AWAY.
PEOPLE SAY THE 1ST DRINK GOES TO THE ELDERS. THE LAST DRINK IS FOR THE ONE WE LOVE.
THE EMPTY BOTTLE IS FOR THE ONE WE WANT TO FORGET.

About this poem:
SOMEONE I CAN'T FORGET
~to start is to end~
Is it written to see, is it written to tell, will we learn to let go and thrive and continue to grow, will we fall or will we rise to set a precedence, to pretend is to fall to grow is to show what's inside to let it flow, to understand your inner glow, to rule without passion is insanity, to rule with dignity is for us to see, let us speak the world screams, let us be free the future calls us to be, the start of an humane humanity.

Love is pure if its genuine
Love..love.. ????
When it's dark where are you?
When it's light why is it so hard to find you?
Love I'm here .. Love can we be friends.
Let me love you like love loves you.
Loves is beautiful and pure the best medicine.
Love are you out there?
Love I'm here. Waiting for you.

About this poem:
The poem is from my heart and my journey in finding my soul mate.
Goodbye Rose
I'm waiting on the rain to cool things down
I'm waiting on the bus to come to town
Just one bag will hold all my clothes
Where I'll be this time tomorrow heaven knows
Time for me to leave even though I'm nowhere bound
Sometimes love doesn't happen and that's the way it goes
I'm waiting on the rain and the bus to come to town
Goodbye rose
Don't feel bad for me I understand
I've been through enough pain that I became a man
I've had some highs and a lot of lows
Here comes the rain and the bus goodbye rose
I'm waiting on the bus to come to town
Just one bag will hold all my clothes
Where I'll be this time tomorrow heaven knows
Time for me to leave even though I'm nowhere bound
Sometimes love doesn't happen and that's the way it goes
I'm waiting on the rain and the bus to come to town
Goodbye rose
Don't feel bad for me I understand
I've been through enough pain that I became a man
I've had some highs and a lot of lows
Here comes the rain and the bus goodbye rose

Post CommentTWO
HOW CAN ONE LOVE TWO. WHEN ONE FIRST LOVES ONE THEY WOULD NEVER GIVE IT THIER ALL, CAUSE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE NEVER MET TWO. WHILE HAVING TWO HOW DO YOU CHOOSE TO SPLIT THE TIME. WAS IT STRAIGHT DOWN THE LINE. IT COULD NEVER BE, FOR ONE OF THE TWO WOULD DEFINITELY BE DENIED. NO EQUAL LOVE WILL BE GIVEN. THE TWO ARE FIGHTING FOR THE TIME. HOLIDAY'S & SICK DAYS PONDERING WHO GETS THE TIME. FOR HAVE TWO IS A TOTAL WASTE OF ONES TIME.

About this poem:
TWO LOVERS AT THE SAME TIME.DON'T
IF I KEEP MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF, IT'S OK IT'S JUST ME.
IF I DON'T SMILE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME, IT'S OK I STILL LIKE YOU.
IF I DON'T ANSWER WHEN YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, ITS OK I LOVE YOU TOO.
IF YOU TRY TO HOLD MY HAND, I MOVE PAST IT, IT'S OK I LOVE THE GUESTURE, PLEASE DON'T STOP.
IF YOU EVER STOP DOING THESE THINGS, IT'S OK.
I KNEW IT WOULD NEVER LAST.
IF I DON'T SMILE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME, IT'S OK I STILL LIKE YOU.
IF I DON'T ANSWER WHEN YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, ITS OK I LOVE YOU TOO.
IF YOU TRY TO HOLD MY HAND, I MOVE PAST IT, IT'S OK I LOVE THE GUESTURE, PLEASE DON'T STOP.
IF YOU EVER STOP DOING THESE THINGS, IT'S OK.
I KNEW IT WOULD NEVER LAST.

About this poem:
EVEN IF I ACT NONCHALANT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO STOP.
Times aren’t so good
you hung up the phone
tears streamed down your face
You relayed the news
I already knew
The cancer had spread
Not much to be said
The cold rain
It falls like tears down on my heart
In private I cry until the tears run dry
My big brother-you will always be
You ask who will be there for you
I will
Who will hold your hand
I will
Who will help you
I will
Nothing will ever change the love I have for you
I stand with you
I stand by you
I stand beside you
I feel your pain
as if it were my own
XX
tears streamed down your face
You relayed the news

My big brother-you will always be
You ask who will be there for you
I will
Who will hold your hand
I will
Who will help you
I will
Nothing will ever change the love I have for you
I stand with you
I stand by you
I stand beside you
I feel your pain
as if it were my own

About this poem:
I have great admiration for you. I believe with strength and prayer we’re gonna get through this together. I love you so much my big brotherhim .
Loves last moment
Eyes swelling
becoming tearful
spilling over
tear drops fall.
Words failing
lips open
unable to speak
emotions choking.
Hands tremble
fingers entwined
clenching the hand
that clings to mine.
Door open
light has entered
darkness closing
hold me I'm scared.
Angels calling
last breath I cry
door closing
I whisper goodbye.
