King of the unwanted (revised)
I am the king of the unwanted
That is the name I gave to me
I have everything that I need
With the broken promises you made to me
I am the king of waiting alone
The front porch step has become my throne
Where I wait for you patiently
Since you promised you would come back for me
And you lie for what you lack
Gave me the world only to take it back
And you lie for what you lack
I still feel my heart but only where it's cracked
I am the king of the left behind
Search for hours and all you'll find
In my kingdom there's no one else
Because you don't love me more than you love yourself
And you lie for what you lack
Your the reason my heart turned black
And you lie for what you lack
Took my heart away and you can never have it back
That is the name I gave to me
I have everything that I need
With the broken promises you made to me
I am the king of waiting alone
The front porch step has become my throne
Where I wait for you patiently
Since you promised you would come back for me
And you lie for what you lack
Gave me the world only to take it back
And you lie for what you lack
I still feel my heart but only where it's cracked
I am the king of the left behind
Search for hours and all you'll find
In my kingdom there's no one else
Because you don't love me more than you love yourself
And you lie for what you lack
Your the reason my heart turned black
And you lie for what you lack
Took my heart away and you can never have it back

About this poem:
After being a single dad for three years, that title had come to have new meaning to me. I wrote this from my 2 son's perspective after their mother lied over and over about coming to get them for her weekend visitation.
Dancing in the Graveyard
Miss Ellie told this tale to me,
Which I now relate to you.
She was a caregiver, you see,
To a vet from World War two.
Seems he had been a flying ace,
O'er the North Atlantic Sea.
But now a sickbed was his place,
At the age of eighty-three.
To walk again was all he craved,
So she did for him her best.
His freedom of motion she saved,
Miss Ellie had passed the test.
His wife was quite a piece of work,
To resent was all she knew.
This woman really was a jerk!
Ellie loathed her through and through.
And then one night Ellie came to sit,
With him while his wife went out.
She saw his pain was quite a bit,
Which she then asked him about.
Obstructed bowel he'd had for days,
Which the wife chose to ignore.
Was toxic in the final phase,
Swiftly to and through death's door.
She wailed as that man was interred,
While the wife sat grimly smug.
So Ellie screamed in rage at her,
As the old man's grave was dug.
For six more years the wife lived on,
And then her day fin'lly came.
Good or bad, we're all death's pawn,
Cause we all end up the same.
So this past Memorial Day,
Ellie was so bold and brave.
Took off her shoes and danced away,
Upon that old bitches grave.
Which I now relate to you.
She was a caregiver, you see,
To a vet from World War two.
Seems he had been a flying ace,
O'er the North Atlantic Sea.
But now a sickbed was his place,
At the age of eighty-three.

About this poem:
True story...
Or Would We ?
Tell me dear sister of mine, do you remember a time ?
When you and me, acting far sillier than even silly could be
Laughed so hard until one of us two, but dare I say.. just who
Wee Wee'd on the floor, of Corte' General Mercantile Store
Then poor old Ms. Maggie said " Oh dear me, someone must have spilt water."
Which only had us both laughing, even that much harder !
We laughed until our knees grew weak, we couldn't breathe, we could not speak
Teetering then on the brink of hysteria, was there ever a time when we felt merrier ?
Somehow we made it back home that day, laughing each step on the way.
We laughed through supper til time for bed, we couldn't sleep, so we just laughed instead.
When not even threats from our old Pop, couldn't make us want to stop.
So we laughed on and on and had we not conked out, we would have laughed til dawn.
Oh Sister isn't it so very nice to know, how much we have matured since then ?
We certainly wouldn't ever dream, of acting that silly again !
No, no not you and oh my definitely never me !
Or Would We ? Ha Ha... Ho Ho... Hee Hee Hee...
When you and me, acting far sillier than even silly could be
Laughed so hard until one of us two, but dare I say.. just who
Wee Wee'd on the floor, of Corte' General Mercantile Store
Then poor old Ms. Maggie said " Oh dear me, someone must have spilt water."

About this poem:
My sister and I, when together are still just as silly as we ever were ! Some of us never out-grow silly, but who wants to anyway ?...We have too much fun, but mum's the word on who the guilty party was. I'll never tell.. Sisters just don't snitch on each other. Oh I guess 1 small hint can't hurt..it wasn't me.
My chemical romance
Now come one, come all
to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup
What's in his despair?
So throw on the black dress
Mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice
you're someone you're not
If you look in the mirror
and don't like what you see
You can find out first-hand
what its like to be me
So gather 'round piggies
and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles
I'll expect you won't cry
Another contusion
my funeral jag
Here's my resignation
I'll serve it in drag
You've got front row seats
to the penitence ball
When I grow up
...
I want to be nothing at all!
to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup
What's in his despair?
So throw on the black dress
Mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice
you're someone you're not
If you look in the mirror
and don't like what you see
You can find out first-hand
what its like to be me
So gather 'round piggies
and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles
I'll expect you won't cry
Another contusion
my funeral jag
Here's my resignation
I'll serve it in drag
You've got front row seats
to the penitence ball
When I grow up
...
I want to be nothing at all!

About this poem:
These are the lyrics to the song The End by My chemical Romance, this song was a favourite and medicine to those lonely days. I owe thanks to these guys for inspiring me to write poetry. Thanks.
WHY YOU ARE ALONE ?
no one in this world wants to be alone
but some one became alone
and they think all happened as usual
but it is not real as we think
why they became alone
it is connected with their life style
they made walls around their home
and also in their hearts
they became more selfish
nothing to share with strangers-
who may make problems and troubles
it so safe to live safe without strangers
forgot to mind others very much
we spent hours on internet to get friends
while we forget about our neighbors
and never spent a second -
to hear a word from strangers
those who are same as we to get some help
may be for money or to get some food or friend
we don't want to give a smile to an unknown
but we feel fear when we met them
if it is true to fear of unknown persons
how we can make friends online?
its better to think why we are alone
and do something special to get a good friend...
but some one became alone
and they think all happened as usual
but it is not real as we think
why they became alone
it is connected with their life style
they made walls around their home
and also in their hearts
they became more selfish
nothing to share with strangers-

About this poem:
we forget what we have done before in life....
It Takes Two to Tango
It Takes Two to Tango
In the dance of the roses, red as wine,
Passion burning, entwined in a divine sign,
A duet of hearts, beating in time,
Telling a tale, of your love and mine.
Under the gaze of daisies, so pure,
Where love is innocent, untouched and sure,
Two souls collide, no walls endure,
In this dance of life, sweet and demure.
The whispering lilies in the night,
Echo our promises, our pledge to hold tight,
In the tango we dance, under the moonlight,
Finding our rhythm, in love's sacred rite.
In the field of sunflowers, bright and gay,
Our spirits twirl, lost in ballet,
With each swaying step, in this merry play,
Our love blossoms, in the light of the day.
The tulips hum the melodies, so sweet,
A harmony perfect, when two hearts meet,
In the dance of love, where joy and sorrow greet,
The music of life, in time, we beat.
Past the orchids, mysterious and wild,
Lies the tango of love, untamed, beguiled,
In this dance of ours, through trials we've smiled,
For in every step, love has been reconciled.
Amidst the violets, shy and soft,
We found a rhythm, aloft,
In this dance of ours, gentle and oft,
We found a love, that held us aloft.
The marigolds glow, with fervor so bright,
As we sway in the twilight, under the starlight,
In our tango, we find love's eternal light,
Two hearts, one rhythm, in the silent night.
In the garden of our tango, love unfurls,
Each petal, a step, as the dance whirls,
In the dance of the flowers, where passion swirls,
It takes two for a tango, in love's own world.
In the dance of the roses, red as wine,
Passion burning, entwined in a divine sign,
A duet of hearts, beating in time,
Telling a tale, of your love and mine.
Under the gaze of daisies, so pure,
Where love is innocent, untouched and sure,
Two souls collide, no walls endure,
In this dance of life, sweet and demure.
The whispering lilies in the night,
Echo our promises, our pledge to hold tight,
In the tango we dance, under the moonlight,
Finding our rhythm, in love's sacred rite.
In the field of sunflowers, bright and gay,
Our spirits twirl, lost in ballet,
With each swaying step, in this merry play,
Our love blossoms, in the light of the day.
The tulips hum the melodies, so sweet,
A harmony perfect, when two hearts meet,
In the dance of love, where joy and sorrow greet,
The music of life, in time, we beat.
Past the orchids, mysterious and wild,
Lies the tango of love, untamed, beguiled,
In this dance of ours, through trials we've smiled,
For in every step, love has been reconciled.
Amidst the violets, shy and soft,
We found a rhythm, aloft,
In this dance of ours, gentle and oft,
We found a love, that held us aloft.
The marigolds glow, with fervor so bright,
As we sway in the twilight, under the starlight,
In our tango, we find love's eternal light,
Two hearts, one rhythm, in the silent night.
In the garden of our tango, love unfurls,
Each petal, a step, as the dance whirls,
In the dance of the flowers, where passion swirls,
It takes two for a tango, in love's own world.

About this poem:
This poem, titled "It Takes Two for a Tango," is a beautiful exploration of love and partnership through the metaphor of a tango dance, taking place in the natural backdrop of a blooming garden. Each flower represents a unique aspect of love, making the poem rich in imagery and symbolism. The poetry flows rhythmically, much like the dance it describes, and uses the flowers as a progression through different stages of love, from passion (roses) to purity (daisies), commitment (lilies), joy (sunflowers), harmony (tulips), mystery (orchids), gentleness (violets), brightness (marigolds), and finally the culmination of love's journey (garden).(To Maharlika)JOY OF LIVING
JOY OF LIVING
Joyous is this dance we call life, vibrant and profound,
A brilliant canvas painted with experiences, love truly found.
The morning sun peels away the night's slumber, full of grace,
Each ray of light, a tender kiss on the awakening world's face.
A melody dances in the wind, whispering secrets of delight,
Lifting spirits, stirring hearts, in the day and under moonlight.
Emerald fields sway gently, echoing laughter and songs,
Under the open azure skies, where every dream belongs.
Rivers of moments flow, each a unique, sparkling gem,
Infusing our lives with love and joy, each day a new anthem.
Ah, the sweet intoxication of life's wine, so heady and profound,
Underneath the starry canopy, where dreams and love are found.
Glistening dew on a rose, the perfume of life's enchantment,
It tells a tale of joy and love, of soulful contentment.
Vivid is the song of life, in its every radiant hue,
In its every note, it sings the joy of existence anew.
Delight dances in our hearts, as we celebrate life's song,
It's a dance of love, a dance of joy, where we all belong.
Venturing forward, hand in hand, beneath the sun's warm glow,
Infused with the melody of life, allowing our hearts to flow.
Revel in the joy of existence, in its laughter and its tears,
It's a celebration of love and life, echoing through the years.
Navigating through this vast, beautiful dance, both wild and tame,
Gather the moments of joy and love, for that is life's ultimate game.

My babe
Touch of words
ignites the senses
and promises
they give hope
for the next day.
Waiting
is no longer a void
and distance
barrier
not to beat.
Joy
it's heart palpitations
with smile
kissing my lips
and body tremor
when you talk to me
my baby.
ignites the senses

they give hope

barrier
not to beat.

Farewell to the Wind
Well we bid farewell to the wind
that no virtues could appease
sailed from those darkened shores
in to the gentle breeze
was cast like Daniel
down deep, deep in the lion's den
no more want to call the tune
of mired faithless men
and as we rise, and rise
'neath the fiery southern sky
I say to you
my soul's companion
the mystics never lie
When we bid farewell to the wind
those dark, dark winds that freeze
I sailed with you my enduring angel
in to the gentle breeze
that no virtues could appease
sailed from those darkened shores
in to the gentle breeze
was cast like Daniel
down deep, deep in the lion's den
no more want to call the tune
of mired faithless men
and as we rise, and rise
'neath the fiery southern sky
I say to you
my soul's companion
the mystics never lie
When we bid farewell to the wind
those dark, dark winds that freeze
I sailed with you my enduring angel
in to the gentle breeze
