ALL I CAN GIVE

Three words is all I can give you,
But they can't express the love that's due.
I want to give you more than everything,
and my efforts are never ceasing.
These feelings are always inside of me,
wanting to be said, wanting to be free.
If only you could grasp these emotions,
you'd find love that could fill the oceans.

You've touched a place inside of my heart,
and I've felt this way right from the start.
You mean more to me than words can express,
but take those words, for it's all I can stress.

It would just take a second for you to realise,
if only you could see yourself through my eyes.
My love is strong,forever,and will always be true,
and I can only hope those feelings are conveyed when I say
I LOVE YOU!

INNER DEFIANCE

these mental games you like to play
will be your downfall
your heart is sealed with a sheet of ice
one day you'll awaken to find self hate
for all the things you've initiated
your world will crumble and so will you
all your lies and empty promises
will be all you have to hold to
I wash my hands clean of you
I wash you away
I hope what you had stays
tattooed in your heart forever
and I hope you never forget
forever will you lose this game you play

YOU CAN PLAY A PLAYA'

Love conquers common sense
So let’s stop with all of this nonsense
Love is never having to say you’re cheating
You said you were at a meeting
But I saw you with her the other day
And here I thought you were going to tell me you were gay
She was wearing a nappy wig
She looked pretty as a pig
So now I know, you’re a Player’s Club member
You once told me, I remember
“Don’t player hate, participate”
What a loser, you didn’t even graduate
There’s a thin line between love and play
I guess every dog has his way
I used to think all guys were dogs
You had love in your eyes and lust in your paws
You wear your head in your pants
So go ahead and enjoy her and her implants
O.K., so you ran your game on me
The guys will be long and many
Unlike your ass who was always a day late and an inch short
It’s O.K. though, I’m not bitter
Now I’ll go clubbing, put on my glitter
Remember that weekend you were away?
While the guy’s away, the girl will play
Your best friend Tony came over
Oh the fun we had, over and over
Go on honey
Go be with your playboy bunny
And always remember
It’s better to have played and lost,
than never to have been a Player’s Club member

UNTITLED2

I run from the vally of the pain,
I hide in the shadows of the dead.
I am a prisoner in my own mind,
I tried to escape, always to find myself in the same cell.
The more I run the easier it get's for it to find me.
Where am I? Can't get out of this big black hole,
or it is that, maybe, this is where I belong.
I cry, I begg, for one minute of sunshine without any rain.
The darkness has taken over the light,
and now my life is just but a casket of a dying soul.
"Let me free" I need to see the light,
let me live, I need to find me.
Do I have a chance to really escape,
or will I run to in the vally of the pain,
and hide in the shadows of the dead till my dying days?

THE WRECK

As he slammed on the brakes,
putting both his and her life at stake.

The car tubmled over the rail,
he knew he had been the one to fail.

He heard a scream as the car hit the ground,
and a moment later he heard not a sound.

As he looked over with fear in his eyes,
he flinched with great suprise.

There she sat with her body covered in blood,
he heard one last moan and her head fell with a thud.

He sat in silence with only cuts on him,
and through his window there was a limb.

He had had a few beers and she had had none,
so why was it she who had been the one?

To die such a sad and sorrowful death,
when it had been he with alcohol on his breath?

HIS SMILE

Some called him "little buddy",
Some called him, "junior"
His smile was his trademark,
Wherever he went.
A room would brighten
when Justin came in
'cause the first thing you saw,
would be his grin!

A son and brother so precious
a friend so true!
Whatever he had,
he'd share it with you!
A thought, a deed, a kind
word for awhile
But always, oh always,
He'd share 'His smile'

Our hearts are breaking,
our thoughts are going wild!
We've lost our friend:
We've lost our child!
"But only for a while,"
I heard Jesus say
"He's been chosen for the master bouquet!"

Hand selected by Jesus from
this 'garden of life'
Gone to heaven!-He's
through with this strife!
Why is he gone?
God only knows.
But oh what a treasure,
A "smiling rose!"

MY BELOVED ANNABELLE

Many thousand tommorrows can't replaced for one
precious moment I've spend with you

Many words I find cannot describe my love for you,
except only tears of joy can display so

Your familiar smile ease away the sadness of my
sorrowful days like:

Dry the tearful eyes
Chase away the gloomy
Console the broken-heart

Oh! Annabelle, memories of you fills me as I call
out your name

Your gracious smile touches every soul of me
Oh! my beloved Annabelle, I've think of you
every moment and wish you could be my side

Oh! Annabelle, your beauty surpass many sparkling
jewelrys I see

You are like an angel to me like a gift send it
from God so rare to find and so precious to have

I will always cheerish you til's death we apart

UNTITLED

I once saw a woman
but then her husband came
with an angry fist
and the windows
were shattered

MISSING YOU

Lonely nights, looking out of the window,
As the rain drops fall like tears,
Holding your picture next to my heart,
Hiding my pride, letting out my fear,
Scared of the long road, I have while you're gone,
But for our family, I must be strong,
Hearing your laugh, I would miss,
The softness of your lips, from your kiss,
Missing you is so hard for me,
Knowing that my other half is so far from me,
I miss you my love, keep me in your heart,
Cherish the moments while we are apart.

I SIT ALONE

Its late, the sun is gone,
and the stars are out, the moon is full
Its a bit windy, the sky is midnight blue,
and the stars are dull

Im all alone with no one to hold onto

wishing, hoping, dreaming,
I was next to you

I sit away all alone

Thinking should I call you,
and pick up the phone
There is just something, that I cannot
recall, thats holding me back

but in the mean time I hope,
to see you on the same track

the clouds thinkin theres no one around.
Only the muggy air to be found

I whisper to myself,
"another lonley night"

Just praying that you would
just be here to hold me tight
for you to tell me that
I love you.

but, you don't even know I'm alive,
I'm just something you look past through

so all alone, I will sit away
past the night to another day

Hoping praying that one day you'll be mine. Where I can have you to myself
and everything will be jsut fine.

so I sit and wait here alone
thinking when would that day would come

I look into the sky
I see a shooting star

I make a wish that'd you be near instead of far.
For my hand to be in yours
on a night like this
To end this night with
a gental kiss.

BEGINNINGS

One time I was afraid of the ending of things
of school, of love, of friendship
I would spend my days wondering and thinking
of how this change would change my life
I didn't want a change to begin
I didn't want my world to end
but as they say
all good things must end
and I learned to accept my fate
of the changes that occurred
and it made me strong
and it made me believe
I could be what I wanted to be
and all the things I thought I had lost
were found once again
and they made me believe
that every ending
starts a new beginning
better then anything before
because it has grown from inside you.

 

MEMORIES OF A MOTHER

The day you were born I'll never forget
The pain and the fear the first night that we met

So big and so blue, gasping for breath
Not knowing inside what time you had left

You were taken from me without even a word
I don't think that they knew all the things that I heard

Your chances were slim, so I heard them all say
But I knew you were strong and would make it some way

Though the first days were critical, you proved them all wrong
As you fought the infections in no time at all

The cat scan looked good, no bleeding in your brain
A miracle they say took place on that day

But I knew from the start that we owed it to God
He gave you strength from your dad and will from your mom.

NO ONE KNOWS

No one Knows how I feel
I feel lonely I feel sad
they don't understand I think I'm going mad
I wish some one understood me
but no one knows.

ONE DRINK

Her life began to sink,
all because of one little drink,
the bottle hit the ground and her life turned upside down,
she didn't know what was happening,
for all she cared for was a high,
until one night when she was out,
and had one little drink,
she didnt see the stars that night,
for she hit a tree and did not surive.

MOONLIT MUSE

alone,
unknown,
'neath the light
of the moon

thoughts drift,
oh, how swift
begins the amatory
swoon.

soft cries,
no alibis,
only feeling
strong, true

sedated,
satiated,
by the simple thought
of you.


GIVE ME THE IMPOSSIBLE

Play me the sound of a harpsichord melody
indulge my ears with a revolutionary cord,
whisper the wind of a barren desert
-give me the impossible.

Lift me from the grips of this cancerous wound,
abate the pain of this growing malady. . .
I have lost all stregnth since you have gone.

I find myself floating above my own presence,
Why do I cry? Why do I submit?
Why do I gawk at a broken me?

I beg. . . play me the sound of a harpsichord melody,
indulge my ears with a revolutionary chord,
sing me the song of forgotten woes,
remind me why I am still here.

Personify what we were-
dreaming then I was not!
Fantasizing. . . am I now?

Your kiss was then my antidote
to disappointments abound,
your breath- my substance,
your touch- my euphoria,
without you I flounder.

Play me the sound of a harpsichord melody,
give me the wind of a barren desert,
provide the impossible. . .
show me you are here!

PEOPLE OF OUR KIND

At night you come to me
And let no body see
You are my angel
You are my love
I hide you from everyone
Hide you from their evil tongue
Hide you from the world you see
Keeping it safe for you and me
Angels stay among us
The Demons lurk behind
Looking for the people
The people of our Kind

WHEN

When I saw you I like you
When I liked you I loved you
When I loved you I let you
When I let you I lost you
When I lost you I cried

I WAS WALKING ON FORTUNE COOKIES AGAIN!

You know the kind
they seem to greet your every
Hush Puppy stride.

Little shriveled up russet pages
banana colored that one over there
I'm sure quite a story
from the Summer's big ears
and chagrin of those unmentionable
things going on in the shadows,
they hold solemnly inside.

This one could of easily read:
"he who hesitates is lost
who doesn't enjoy this day."
Or
move on, move forward
pick up where you left off.

Crackle, crackle time
to rake away the wrinkles
smooth out the indigestion of things.
With every move I make
with every dehydration wink
as I press on through
a perfect ice tea Autumn afternoon.

JOURNEY THROUGHOUT THE UNKNOWN

Here I sit
A shell for this emptiness
Looking, fighting for a way to free itself
Then I awake, so cold, and scared
Not knowing how or why
Knowing only wrong
But yet thinking right
Wishing, hoping, that somehow, someway,
I could bring back what this has taken from me
My innocence, almost my purity
My childhood destroyed and for what?
So I could sit here and think about how, and why?
This poem is about drug awareness, and what it has done to me,
and hoping that none of you ever have to go through it.

RISK
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose your feelings is to risk
exposing your true self
To place your ideal, your dreams before a crowd
is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return

To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure

Yet risks must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is risking
NOTHING

The person who risks nothing
Does nothing
Has nothing
Is nothing

Self-realisation is harder than
Self Sacrifice

FEELINGS (ONE OF A KIND)

I feel love, but I cannot show it
And cannot say it
I feel fear, but
I was frightened out of showing it long ago
I feel sad, but
My eyes have forgotten how to cry
I feel everything is my problem
To help to solve, but
My help is not wanted
I say things I feel I should, but
They are taken the wrong way
I feel I must show friendship, but
That is not wanted
I feel I can help, but
I am pushed away
And locked out
Because
I don't belong
I am lonely
For I am different
Distant
And one of a kind.

I SEE YOU REVISITED

If I could just write poetry, I’d put it all to verse,
and hope you’d see another man but not think that he’s worse.
I’d tell you how as I lay there, the memories flooded back,
like the tears that welled up in my eyes, leaving crystal tracks.

The colour of the furnishings, the corridors, the smell,
came rushing like a forest fire and returned me to that hell.
I tried so hard to understand, I looked but couldn’t find,
the horror that you must have felt but wasn’t on my mind.

For we all have our own demons, as we try to serve our God,
that’s why we are the way we are and not peas in a pod.
So, until we wear each others’ shoes and walk a mile or two,
we’ll never know the others’ fears, we’ll never have a clue.

But there’s one thing I do know, which I’ll say for what it’s worth,
what you see is what you get, there’s no secrets to unearth.
So don’t be fooled by how I look, ‘cause looks can be deceiving,
and often what you think you see is just what you’re believing.

Now I can’t help feeling angry, but you know I have just cause -
I’m losing all I worked for, sweating blood out through my pores.
If only I could make you see the distance that I feel,
is not in my imagination, but something very real.

I see it in their faces and feel it in their looks,
the innocence of children as it draws them to your hooks.
It doesn’t really matter if you say it isn’t so,
or that you didn’t mean it, or that’s how I made them grow.

For we each had our own role to play, the woman and the man,
the carer and the provider – it was our fate but not our plan.
And all while you resented me, because I wasn’t there,
did you ever think to ask yourself how I could be everywhere?

So with twenty twenty vision now, it’s easy to look back,
and dream of how things might have been - no grey, just white and black.
Yet even when I had the time, to wear a different hat.
the chasm in between us, had put an end to that.

Just like a train runs on its tracks and fish swim in the sea,
I can’t veer off and live a life that’s alien to me.
That’s not to say that I can’t be that consummate man,
if you only gave me reason, I wonder if you can?

SUCCESS

With your body, open your mind,
Bring up the courage you have left behind.
To have this strength,
To keep the faith,
You can fight the odds
against your fate.
Just believe in yourself
For the dream is alive,
Don't hide your emotions,
Keep up your pride.
You can achieve success
In everything you do,
Just let yourself go
It's all up to YOU!

LOVE IS

Love they say is patient,
Love they say is kind.
It sees beyond another's faults
For Love they say is blind.

Love takes away the me and mine,
Instead it's us and we.
Yours and mine is ours now
For Love is unity.

Love will not deminish,
Or rust or fade with years.
But it will gain it's strength
from time, from laughter, joy and tears.

Love is God's own gift to us,
A present from above.
He gives us peace,
He gives us joy,
But first He gave us Love.
