Last Liked Ballad Poems (501)

It started way back when I was young
I believed that life was gonna be fun
Started walking that hard road on my own
And I grew up quick learning back street tricks
I was seven years old smoking cigarettes
I guessed I stepped over the party line
Started living on borrowed time.
Chorus.
I see my baby on a one way track, she never moving forward so shes never coming back
It doesnt matter what I say .coz Karma,s gonna get ya at the end of the day ( ch2 add on ).....always living on borrowed time.

V2 Right now seemed so far away,, not that long ago
And the falling speed falling from grace I got vertigo
But theres not alot that we can do to turn back the hands of time.
And even less to leave the scene of the crime.
Stuck here living on borrowed time.

Chorus (rpt)
Ch2 add on
Running her mouth off all over the place. but aint no one listening cause your always off your face.

I met her but she aint got far drinking luke warm piss talking shit at the bar

always living on borrowed time
always living on borrowed time
always borrowing time.

Stay awake tonight
till the mornin light
don't rest upon your bed
though your pillow is soft and deep
your not as sleepy as you seem
stay awake dont nod and dream
stay awake dont nod and dream

Mine tears are falling. Alas mine soul is wilting. I fell in love with a passing dream. The delicate whisper in the dark. Thou art not true to thine or I. Where dwelt once the starry night, heavens weep for the lies on thy frozen forked tongue. No rose which is to smell as sweet or wake mine to thy dawn? Hail to thee, God's of mercy, I beg you to take my red bleeding chest for another of thy worthiness. This sadness of sorrow burdens mine shoulders. Doth I stay forever in this cave that is my refuge, not to touch thine hand again or to wear thy encirclement upon mine hand. Confessions shared, a secret kept, forever you will weep. I crouched first at the feet of the uncertain Christian and then found solace in the Pagan hero of the hour. By cast not throw stones, but your pretty words to titter the young maidens forever more. Mine dragon hath reared his head in my stead, forever where I dwell, he will surely follow. By the sway of errant winds upon the seas, the sonnet has been read aloud in the temple. Mine dragon guards dual body and soul. This holy fire breaths truth upon this troubled time. A wreath of fire encircles mine hand in turn from yours, wrought that it be, at bay if be ye not to knock. Forever is only thine moment in time.

A cry of any living thing
Is so hard to bear.
To save a life, that's all it takes,
You feel a glow that was not there.
A baby needing a warm touch,
A dog fighting to stay alive.
An animal running from being hunted,
An accident in sight.
Some brave soul gives a helping hand
So one may see the light.
Do not hurt the innocent babe,
Or beat an animal till it dies.
There are people who want to help
Each living, hurting soul.
They want to stop the cries out there.
It only takes a little time,
And when you have done a goodly deed,
One has peace inside.
Sue Lee Hart

OH MY LOVE IS A RED, RED ROSE,
THAT'S NEWLY SPRUNG IN JUNE.
OH MY LOVE IS LIKE A MELODY,
THATS SWEETLY PLAYED IN TUNE
Robert Burns.

One day in life, I may know
That what I feel will really show
I'll be not anymore afraid
Of worthless thoughts that I have made
Of shining parts my heart contains
I'll spur my horse, grip tight the reins
That whom I love shall really know
Once I was in fear to show

Silly said I want to know
For why you are Oh I'm too slow
Better well that you shall go
Or say while others smile, they know

Dedicated to my old bag, my gall bladder(R.I.P.)
(sung to the tune of “Since I don't have you” By the Skyliners)

I don't eat happy meals
and I can't eat pizza wheels
I don't have any fun-
since I don't have you

I can't eat fatty foods
like ice cream and burgers too
I gave up snickers too
Since I don't have you

I can't eat onion rings or those things
bad for me
and never will, again.
Once they took you from me,
junk food is history,
mealtime's no fun since then.

Now I can't eat KFC,
and gravy is bad for me.
My meals are bland you see,
and I eat Tofu.

I wil escape you
To a place far from here
No one will see me
Watch the pain as i disappear
i only have anger
im full of despair
Won't you just leave me
There's a room for me there
There innocent beauty
My words can't describe
Thier birth was a purity
Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
Now i have anger
im full of despair
Please let me take you
'cause I'm already there

I'm so alone
My head's my home
I return to mental entropy

crime without reason is why children die
i've been through the system
That's bleeding stones until we die
So please let me take you
And I'll show you the truth
Inside my reality
I shared in youth

[CHORUS :]
I'm so alone
My head's my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I'll return to my entropy

Now that i've disaprepeared
To a stateu might fear
I really must go back
Close my eyes and they'll disappear
Won't they come to me
Salvation well share
Inside of my head now
There's a room for us there

[CHORUS :]

Dedicated to my ex-wife, mother of my eldest daughter, at a low point in her life (after our divorce), due to her addiction to drugs & alcohol

My coggles spark the memory of a ‘pillar from the past
Known too few to many, this ‘pillar had been cast
aside by those who couldn’t phantom her potential
or understood, or realized her assets were substantial

Neglected by the ones who could’ve nurtured her esteem
the ‘pillar didn’t have a clue, idea, goal or dream
of what her future had in store, her fate and Destiny
because no one had told the ‘pillar of these things, you see

And so the ‘pillar inched along a low path of despair
longing to be like the ones that flew up in the air
Convinced by peer mentality that these were futile thoughts
she settled for a path of trudging, and took the lesser plot

Perhaps it was this lack of knowing what she would become
Perhaps it was the loneliness that had her turn to some
who’d never know the joy of flying to a higher plane
because it wasn’t in them, and therefore wasn’t sane

But ‘pillar didn’t realize she had this gift from birth
since no one ever told her just what she’s really worth
And so the years of toiling with those who weren’t inclined
took its toll upon her faith, body, soul and mind

When all seemed at its lowest, when what was gained was lost
The ‘pillar listened to some sage that seemed too great a cost
“Stop my vices and my peers!?” and “Change my way of thinking!?”
Surely this would be too hard. Poor ‘pillar’s heart was sinking

But once the ‘pillar stopped and settled in to see it through
She began to see some changes. Her attitude was new!
What once felt like a prison, in fact, was a cocoon
What once was just a ‘pillar would fly away real soon

And so it was that ‘pillar’s thoughts came to realize
that all along her Destiny was meant for greater skies
Instead of finding reasons to put blame on her past
she realized her attitude would make the future last

She peeled away the cobwebs that bound her in her rut
and spread her wings so proudly – the world would watch her strut
For finally she found herself, she’d opened up each eye
and saw herself for what she is . . .
a beautiful butterfly

Fly, lady, FLY!
