| Just Deeper Water..................................
Posted: 1/4/2008 4:45:56 PM | Waters edge open thoughts
Trickle to become streams
Raging rivers at first glance
Powerfull breathtaking
Moments at a glance
Tranquil bliss just on kiss
Voice the shore taken by storm
Too love is too challenge
To grace that one
Tides roll in waters cool
Learn to Love again
Deep Water created with a trickle
Deeper Water into the Storm | |

| The You...I came to Know....................
Posted: 1/6/2008 10:21:57 AM | Life can change people....so they say
I find this evident in many that have come my way
Things change people...
people change things...
What we thought we knew of them......
all subject to ...change
You hurt us most of my younger days
cut my heart ...just like a knife
left me crying ...many times
This to you....seemed your way of life
We left you ....though
I always was there!
Through all your pain....
all your despair
Thought that you would never change
How I so wished to change my name
The years they passed.....
time fell quickly
A Grandson you had...but rarely visited
You in your world......
I in mine!
To me this seemed...perfectly fine
The day ...the one I will never forget
One night at work, I recieved a call.....
with regret
I listened as I was told of your pain
Cancer had come into your body......
my tears rained.....
all the way home...
on a dark stormy night!
I couldn't quite realize exactly "why?"
Part of me felt like .........
you had met your match
All of the pain ...you'd inflicted
now hatched....
inside your body
like a grim reaper....payin' back debts
but this thought left me tearful
full of regrets!
The thought of you leaving me......
strange...but it hurt!
I suddenly knew of your mere loving worth!
You fought this like something
I never have known!
Chemo...and radiation......
all your hope...
you had shown!
Months passed to almost half of a year
You keeping up......
your heart became clear!
You really did love us.......
it was all ...held inside!
For loving ...was something
you always did hide!
After thinking .....pondering it all very hard
I realized....from your Father
in this way ....you were scarred
Within those 7 months that you hoped....
survived
You brought all the love to us all........
you had hidden
Kindness was just your way........
you changed so completely!
You asked for forgiveness........
gave your heart...
so deeply!
You made friends with Doctors...nurses and aides....
they loved you in spite of your curious ways!
I stood back and watched this....
quite a transformation
You made Peace with everyone......
within your eyesight and lifetime!
You spoke of God......
something from you I had never known!
You even got better.....for awhile
Hope was One!
Yet ......after so many hospital stays
antibiotics....medicines......experimental things
Your last christmas spent with my son and I
I saw a change in you.....such a spiritual cry!
Though this could not save you....
I knew in my heart
This last Dance of life.........
was the way....we would part!
SuddenlyU thank you for that lovely poem! | |

| Ignorance of Aging
Posted: 1/6/2008 2:17:49 PM | Hi jules: just posted this at Wooby's Greasy Spoon, then saw this thread and felt it may be appropriate to the subject title. I hope you don't mind. V
Ignorance of Aging
graceful lines shadowed by the moon
move to the rhythm of the breeze
carrying the blurs of forgotten memories
making the haze of our youth more palatable
how once we cherised the sharp contrast of black and white
we now prefer the vagueness of those times
perfect in our mind, more clear than they were at occurence
safely sheltered in our soul, never to be disturbed by truth
discussed in the round with friends anew
dramatized, or made more humorous than true
it's our own memories; ours for the taking
ours for the sharing
remembered in the way we wish
not the way it was
our perfect youth
re-lived in our waning days

Posted: 1/7/2008 9:10:51 PM |  V., a very lovely poem! Thank ya my friend!
Jer......you are always as wonderful.....as we know ...you are! both of ya's
I cannot say I find Ingorance in Aging
Life in itself........has taught many things!
Ignorance ...was my friend ...years ago!
Think ...I won the Award.....just a no show!
I was too busy fightin' and workin' and livin'
Ignorance was my little sideliner!
I often got over ...on her assss ....while I snickered!
But by an' by....she always got over me!
Dis' lady and woman....has learned alot!
She has prayed...borrowed.....given...taught!
If ever I thought that my life was not good
I would not be livin' ....now as I should!
I may be Alone....
though have been ......alot of times!
This never scared me....
I learned it from life!
My Mother was one that always ....was true!
Taught me the right things...
the others...I learned
Today...I am happy.....maybe not as I could be!
Yet whom is to say?
What and when....we all should be?
Life is not over.....I can change it tomorrow
If I died tomorrow.......I would say "without sorrow"

MOTORCYCLE DRIVE BY
(Jenkins)
Summer time and the wind is blowing outside in lower Chelsea.
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
It crashes through the windows, And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew, That I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm the one who's stupid,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind,
you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you, You're so serene.
Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, You're guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
And there's things I would like to do that you don't believe in,
I would like to build something, Buy you'll never going see it happen,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've,
I've never been so alive,
And there's this burning, There is this burning ay ay ay.
Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil.
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this is the last time, We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you, you'll wonder, who I am.
And there's this burning, Just like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, alone, alive, alive, I've never been so alive, so alive
I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, I paddle out on the water alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain. I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise,
The sun goes down in my eyes,
See this rolling wave,
Darkly coming to take me home,
And I never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.
OH....HELL YEah.......... great song! Great life!    | |

| If You Asked me To......................
Posted: 1/9/2008 12:07:17 AM | Patti Labelle
Used to be that I believed in something,
Used to be that I believed in love,
It's been a long time since I've had that feelin',
I could love someone,
I could trust someone.
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin',
I said I'd never let nobody in,
If you asked me to I just might change my mind,
And let you in my life forever,
If you asked me to I just might give my heart,
And stay here in your arms forever.
If you asked me to,
If you asked me to,
So now ever since I've been around you,
Can't go back the way and on my own Can't help feelin',
darlin', sinceI've found you,
That I've found my home,
That I'm finally home.
I said I'd never let nobody get to close to me, darlin',
I said I needed, needed to be free,
If you asked me to I just might change my mind,
And let you in my life forever,
If you asked me to I just might give my heart,
And stay here in your arms forever.
If you asked me to and I would give my world,
Little baby, I need you now,
Ask me to and I would do anything for you, baby,
For you, baby.
If you asked me to,
I'll put you in my life forever,
If you asked me to,
All you gotta do is ask me to,
If you want it I could give you my heart,
If you asked me to,
I'll give you anything that I say, baby,
If you asked me to,
I'll do anything that you want me to do, just ask me,
All you gotta do is ask me to,
If you asked me to,
I'll give my life,
All you gotta do is ask me to,
If you asked me to.
Wowwwwwwwwww...thats alot!

| The Ones we wish to forget..............
Posted: 1/11/2008 3:27:15 PM | We all have memories in our hearts, minds
so much of pain
little disguised
we wish to just leave em' , blown in the dust!
sickness, pain , hearts that made rust
Disallusioned?
Nope, not us!
All hearts have this place
that they hide just for us!
Life will lead us daily unto pain
words or people
that only inflict the same!
The tradgedy is ...
it is all on them!
They live their lives
like this
in pain!
I like to know and feel the wish
that each and everyday
may bring a kiss!
If not from my loved ones
another the same
someone I have met
within words
in the page!
Solidarity is ones own wish
pain is the crippled creek
the road that they took!
As I pass them by
along my journies way
I can only say
Bye........sigh
not gonna miss em
all their fury!
Dismay!

| The Ones we wish to forget..............
Posted: 1/11/2008 3:43:38 PM | Turn the Pages
A book of photographs lies upon my lap
telling a story of this life that is mine
as each brittle page turns
I see how I walked a crooked line
each photograph that holds my face
shows an empty stare
a fake smile
most definitely is there
I drift through these pages
remembering what appears as happy memories
yet there is no doubt as I sit here to look
unhappiness is what I do see
this book represents my past
of mistakes that I have made it's true
I so hunger inside my soul
to create a book with a different view
where truth of pure joy can be seen
a woman who is alive not living dead
I close this book of photographs now
banish these visions from my head
as in life I will do this
close memories of my past for good
I feel determination build within
vow to myself to make new memories as I should. | |

| always you
Posted: 1/14/2008 8:37:11 AM | We Move Ahead
A big part of me are you
I see you in my eyes
my love for you goes deep
of that I cannot disguise
I look back upon our past
each day you spent with me
watching you grow so strong
of love I gave it so free
such changes I do remember
your voice so very sweet
shut the door mamma you would say
now it turns so deep
my little helper
always eager to lend a hand
a blessing to my heart
never a demand
now a young man you've become
one who roams again free
your time
so little of it I see
come back little boy
mamma waits here for you
have you forgotten
all we have been through
my hand is always there
I'll protect you till I am old
I pray that I've raised you strong
into this life you shall venture bold
my heart beats
your name my boy resides there
no matter where life takes us
know always that I care. | |

| Essence of You
Posted: 1/16/2008 10:52:48 AM | On The terrace,
a glow has fallen by the way,
flirting with the silver clouds,
I think of you,
A silent tear, trickles down my mournful face,
even though neglected,
your lovely white rose is thriving,
across the field,
a tiny sparrow, sings like a virtuoso,
The fence row is draped with yellow jasmine,
your favorite flower,
as I turn to go inside,
I feel your presence in the shadows, watching me,
I hear your laughter,
soft as a silver bell,
I know, you will always be here,
on the terrace,
amidst the sounds and sights you love. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 9:01:28 PM | Slippin' slidin'

Wicked witch knows

Take me away
somewhere over the rainbow!
Way up high!
In the blue sunny sky
Let my slippers get busy
seems shits gettin' sneaky!
Wanna put on ...
my Blue Suede Shoes!!!!!

Posted: 1/28/2008 12:32:24 PM | To grieve alone with no friend there
Living life within an empty shell
Curse the sunshine
Damn the rain
Hate the neighbor
Forget , his pain!
Drift upon a shore alone
Empty beach
you call your home!
Lifeless as a withered seaweed
Such a shame
No blood to bleed!
Heart has withered in the sun
All your dreams
lost and gone
Soon the oceans tide will take you
out into darkness, make you
know the pain for which you yearn
While in its angst
Your Soul shall burn. | |

Posted: 1/30/2008 12:51:24 PM | Brought this over from ravins thread! Was simply for my Mother, wanted it to swim
here!  
Hands that held...
The times my life was so misguided
left to wander , uninvited
Worry crept across my face
heart was lost ; my mistakes!
Never did you leave me stranded
although with your heart ,you guided
I was never far behind...
just far enough to be alittle blind
I always knew that you knew best!
You shined so far above all the rest!
My heart began to see the difference
just as much , my simple resistance.,
Left me to seek this way of mine;
while your kind Soul ...simply Shined!
Of all the lessons in my life
Simplicity of you , your soul so kind!
Never has another Soul
touched me as you did, ever!
I gently yearn for the hands that held...
her daughters face;
while she gently wept!

Posted: 1/30/2008 1:29:59 PM | | Heartfelt feelings for your mother Jules and beautifully said. My Mother-in-law is in the hospital right now. She is 84 years old and has battled cancer. I am not sure what is going on right now but she is a wonderful woman who has a remarkable strength inside her. It's difficult when you have to wait for answers and I feel for David right now who has gone to be with her. We need to hang onto our parents for as long as we can and for those who have passed away we will always cherish the gifts of wisdom and love they have left with us. | |

Posted: 1/31/2008 7:35:49 PM | Autumn, Thanks for you words! I am sending best wishes for your loved one!
Seems something is adrift in here, someone wants to bash words of my "MOTHER"
In a zillion , trillion , million years , you would never even know of the BEAUTY, GRACE THERE!!!!! I suggest if you have anymore nasty comments , you place them in your thread? Oh, do you even have one??? So many people , so many names!
I have reported it, I am completely done with this nonsense! It ends here!
Destruction lives within darkness and pain
Fear is the meaning of all of your rain!
If bashing me makes you feel better...get on it!
If you just want to bash somone
nobody home!
I am further above all your silly inuendos
My Mother was more beautiful
than anything, your family will ever
...remember about you! | |

| Infinite Memories
Posted: 2/2/2008 3:16:33 PM | The above posts were exactly what is not needed here!
Bashing folks on their own thread, words of love written here! I stood up for myself, is all!
Now to get on with this thread. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Trailing Incense~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lavish rows of sweet white bells;
snuggled deep within the green.
Lilly of the Valley;
trailing scent so aromatic;
sweet, lovely!
Roaming my senses;
deepest memories long for them.
Laden fields of sweet poppies flowing;
scent of faraway knowing.
Lifting butterflies with stem;
reach with petals falling down.
Glowing center soul of hope;
stamens golddust ;
star of hope.
Lead my way into the light;
with all of your aromatic sight.
Lend me sense to know my way;
help me see the light of day.
Lift my soul above the doom;
once I sense your lovely bloom!
Souls will always seek the flower;
taken by its gentle power!

Posted: 2/24/2008 6:47:40 PM | A Surprise
As I sifted through photos
one silently fell into my hand
so lightly it came to me
as if the weight of a small grain of sand
as I looked at this picture
such a familiar face stared back at me
a softness filled my heart
for it was my dear grandmother you see
I began to look closer
our smiles are the same it's true
more similarities
instantly came to my view
how we squint our eyes
roundness of cheeks the same
softly from my lips
I said out loud her name
missing her so
gone for many years now has she
yet no matter if no longer on this earth
she reigns as a big part of me
this photograph
brings me back to wonderful memories
I pray now she is playing in skies above
flying so free. | |

This Poem of your Grandmother was exquisite!
Nothing lovlier than a Memorie
that lingers
Inside the Heart
forever!
Gentle winds
blowing tides
Hearts
afire
Souls
surmise
Once
a long long
wind ago
blew
the tree
desires lost
Beneath
slow moving...
Moon
Love
survived...
bloomed!

never known
Although
in my mind
heart
has grown!
Once set in oil
never cease
to show
love that lived
hearts know
Kindness
we shelter
stay apart
although
help
seems
our love
never left
it just changed
into
Friend! | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 9:46:12 AM | Into Thine Eyes
I search those eyes
looking back at me
I smile at such warmth
truly this I see
I remember
so many times with you
nothing in this world
for you I wouldn't do
tears fall
I miss you so
true love
from you I did know
never another
has loved me that way
tears continue to wet my cheeks
thinking that from me you have gone away
yet I feel your warmth
even though you are not here
my life you follow
always staying near
guiding me
I believe so strongly in my heart
proud of me you are
that I made a fresh start
so stay by me
sweet lady of my heart
into thine eyes I shall continue to look
shades of blue that are a work of art
walk with me
as I travel ahead on this road
help me to choose wisely
not carry a heavy load
for to know you are there
beside me as I start again
warms my heart
for I walk with a dear friend.... | |
