The truth of it all!

Don’t lose your way, my old friend, tomorrow is never going to be the end,
Don’t fall in sorrow at the expense of today, today may end and fall away

Don’t believe there is nothing more, for tomorrow you will be, that’s for sure,
So, cry today for the lost and gone, but live for now, it won’t be long,

Don’t you know, you are here to be, experience , enjoy what you see,
For tomorrow always will be,

Don’t you know that you will be, reunited with who you are,
That you were always here and never far,

And when you know just who you are, then tomorrow will be
All you ever wanted to see.

Be you always!

The guarantee of non existance when it hits you between the eyes,
makes you realise, that the games we play in our so called lives,
well, it's all just lies.

Of course we will end, my friend, and when you know just where
you go, and when you see, the reality, that nothing matters nor ever
will, been that way, will be still.

Take today, take yesterday, take tomorrow, take the road you want
to follow, you will find it all ends the same, just never look, and never
blame, for you are you and still the same.

Hope springs eternaly!

So, you try and be, what the world wants to see?
Lost in the fantasy,

When the world doesn't want you, what will you
do, find the real you?

I hope it's not to late, I hope it's not your fate
I hope you have time, to recreate!

Freedom of thought!

The thunder rolls above my head, some God is angry, something I said?
If lighting strikes then I am done, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
Did I take some name in vain? Release thy wrath? instill the pain?
God above will show his love when all obeys, what God says!
But I just don’t know what I should do, so many God’s, which one is true?
I think I will take a different view and be myself not follow you!
In this world of diversity who knows what’s right who knows what’s true,
I won’t take sides or follow blindly, I’ll be me, and I'll never deny your right to see, what’s true to you, is the way to be.

Words Of Love Act:2

He said, "Emptiness is cold!"
She said, "Welcome to my world of love, for cold it is not!"
He said, "But it is so hard to get there, and I've tried everything I have! From the task I have won nothing but my growing age of old."
She said, "You only jest? You are a remaining image of the past!"
He said, (slowly, quietly, sighing) "Yesterday's life is all I've got."
She said, "You're kidding?"

The Game!

Someone once said ‘this game is all in the mind, and the mind is all but a game’ oh yes, twas me, we chase our tails constantly. But there is a way we can be free, don’t take the red, don’t take the blue, just open your mind to what is true.
1: You cannot be what you cannot see.
2: You have to grow to know.
3: You have to know to grow.
4: You have to see ‘this reality’
5: You come to know that you are me’
And now, you are free!

Life is a Circus

Put on your top hat, you are the star, the ring master, how long, how far,
Let the clowns come in, let the fun begin, see the balancing act, trapeze if you
please, sugarcane tastes so good as the magician weaves his spell, will the tightrope
walker fall?, who can tell, the dancers will have danced, and you will be….entranced,
as the tight rope walker ends the show, it’s time for you to go!

The Journey Home

Age becomes you ,and life dissipates, it flows like water, like a river from the source starts
as a trickle, becomes a stream, then a river, and finally joins the great oceans and now, you are
not alone, at last, your lonesome journey has brought you home.

Poets ways!

Is poets corner the place to be?, to lose ourselves in our history? to complain in verse of a life gone wrong?, or sing out loud our favourite song?, let feelings out what's life about?, or whisper quietly, help someone out?, when someone writes abusefully, it's not their fault, they cannot see, allow those things to be that way, help them more, nothing more to say!

Yvonne

I fell in love .....ONCE....I became her only, my heart melted when I saw her,
Her name is Yvonne, I'll love her even when I'm gone,
She's what makes it all make sense, the life that I know, how we could grow,
and she was always she, my lady, my friend, .... until the end!
