But,….. I Gave My Word
It came one night, the end I mean
And thus we live, two solitudes;
Sharing roof and empty nest and little else,
But,……. I gave my word.
Off she drives into her world
And I in turn to mine,
To apply the salve of busyness,
But,……. I gave my word.
No hug no kiss no touch of hand
No whispers in the night;
To re-assure those dusty vows,
But,……I gave my word.
I saw her once by accident
Her business lunch across the room;
She looked and saw and nodded and carried on,
But,……I gave my word.
Thus the voice inside my head
Competes with who I am,
“Leave”, it’s for the best it says,
But,……I gave my word.
And so the dance continues
Is it worth this price to pay;
Alone save with just myself,
But,…….I gave my word? | |

loner, That poem was excellent. Very good job. I enjoyed it.
This is one of my happier moments. It is just a simple poem from a simple time when life was not so complicated.
"The lightning bug engagement"
Clearly I remember, the setting and the stage
The very first time, that I became engaged
Been a long, long time, many years have gone
That she moved away, and left me all alone
She was a bit older, nearly twice my age
That was before Demi, and the modern rage
We were engaged, for quite a long while
Our two week encounter, still makes me smile
Faced with the dilemma, of not having a ring
The tail of a lightning bug worked fine, Oh! that poor thing
That poor bug's sacrifice, my fiancee was so glad
But she moved away, broke my heart and made me sad
The short term engagement, an Earthly heaven
Because I was almost four, and she had just turned seven
Thank you for reading. | |

Down at the park at the end of the street
I met a boy ever so sweet
He took my heart then set it free
Then he sat another girl on his knee
I went home to cry on my bed
But not a single tear I shed
My dad came home late that night
He looked for me left and right
Through my bedroom door he broke
He saw me hanging by a rope
I had left a note:
Dig my grave and dig it deep
Marble stone from head to feet
And on the top place a dove
To show the world i died for love | |

Ciara9-- thanks for contributing. The poem was well written and the betrayal was felt. Good job on the writing.
"It hurts to walk away"
The hardest thing in the world to do, is to let go of the dreams you had
Especially of the times that were shared together, both the good and bad
There is much sadness when you think of the good memories of the past
Because there is also hurt and pain along with the happiness that lasts
It is so hard to turn your back and to walk away
Especially with friends and feelings involved, a lot of pain I say
I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings, because their pain I also feel
But the sadness that is inside of me, the pain inside me is also real
I never meant to hurt a soul, I wish there was a way
That the pain I feel could only be mine, these are true words I say
Honestly I doubt you cared at all, to you I never meant a thing
Yes it hurts very badly saying that, but if it so, at least I feel only my pain | |

"Son, Daddy Loves You"
A smile across my face, bragging words saying that's my boy, that's my boy
Never knew how I could love, until my son brought me joy
I cut his cord, and looked at him, my eyes not blinking
This is the best day of my life, I am only thinking
The nurse wraps him up, takes him away, he has trouble breathing
No idea what's going on, I am scared and grieving
Doctor comes by, says everything fine, couple days under this machine
A feeling of relief, a smile on my face, a truly joyous scene
Three days pass, it's time to go, baby a different home
Been 4 short years, and I'm amazed how much my boy has grown
Where did the time go, make it stop, make it go away
For it won't be long that I hear, daddy I don't want to play
I cherish each day, like it is the last, my love is ever growing
Before you know, in a minute or two, he'll be saying daddy I'm going | |

"My thread, My house"
Welcome to my house, a different place to be
All is welcome in my house, speak with honesty
Tears are always welcome, so are caring and smiles
Just stop by for a visit, read and enjoy a little while
I have good vision, but my eyes are blind
I have my opinions, but always an open mind
My words may not be liked, but they are real
Everybody open up, it's okay to feel
Tell the world, what you feel, what you need
Welcome to my house, where it's okay to bleed | |

Truth-- as always Great write.
Just some of my thoughts
To go below the surface
To a level most fail to see
To realize that you are a part of all that was and will be
With a single break in the chain, the chain becomes two
Without the ancients of yesterday, where would you be today
And tomorrows future, depends on you
Perhaps you, yourself, feel that you will not change the world
But maybe those inspired by you might
Inspiration does not necessarily mean personal involvement
Maybe it is an action or characteristic observed from a distance
Maybe it is the seeds of your offspring that will change the world
Maybe a kind action will inspire another's heart to love
Maybe a smile will cure a depression and bring hope
Maybe a poem or painting will inspire the next Michelangelo
Maybe a song will feed the world
Maybe a chance occurence will change a soul
Whether you believe that your existence is unconsequential
How are you to know that you did not change the world
Honestly, even the victims role is important
Without a victim, who would change the injustices
Without love, all hope is lost
Without hope, failure is guaranteed
With failure comes destruction
With destruction, the fall of man
So yes, we all serve our functions, regardless of what it is
And yes, we all will change the world in one way or another | |

I wrote this for my son because he loves trains.
"The Horse of Iron"
Black horse with the soul of fire that burns human flesh
Eight legs that race with the speed of the wind
Piercing voice penetrating the ears of all that is around
Reins made of metal that dictate his every movement
Horseshoes of steel that twist and turn around mountains and through deserts
Burning eyes bright as the sun showing his path at night
Breathing angrily, steam swooshes out of his nostrils
Starving for wood and coal, his appetite is insatiable
Thirsting, he continually boils with fury
Wrathfully, he huffs and puffs along with a rhythm that says clackety clack
Unexhaustively he travels for days on end taking his riders to their destination
Horse of iron, your body is rusted, fire extinguished, but your memory is stenciled in the books of history for all to see and in the hearts of true western romanticists | |

Broken Wings-- Thanks for the compliment
Soft pale green eyes sparkle across the room begging me to stare into her soul
Pleading with my head, my heart says look the other way, but she is too much to resist
The love is unmentioned but known between us
Knowing what is to be, we teasingly delay the inevitable
Smiling from her heart, the kindness and love of a gentle spirit entices my love in return
Refusing, my heart screams no, I try not to smile, but the invitation is too promising
I know our private paradise is but a few heartbeats away
Her lips, ever pouty and red, seduce my lips with a kiss
Frenzied excitement, my temptress is determined to gain my love
Hesitantly, my heart tries to destroy love's destiny
Fighting the urge to slip further in love, my mouth pulls away and I see the devestation on her face
Her eyes streaming tears
Her smile hiding behind trembling lips as her heart is breaking
Guilt fills my soul, as I am disappointed in myself
Foolish pride and fear of a broken heart has brought sadness to my destined love
Realizing my eternity is at hand, my eternal bliss sits beside me slumped over crying, I embrace her as she weeps so sadly
Wiping away her tears, I explain my actions
Her spirits being uplifted, she again smiles from the heart, her sparkling eyes invite my lips to a kiss
I gladly accept
I enjoy the comfort of her embrace and readily accept my destiny
Smiling, I say to her, my heart belongs to you now, please take it | |

Feel the pain
Taste the rain
Live to hurt
Don't complain

Do not try
Wave good bye
Love the hurt

"We are done"
It hits the fan
I am a man
You're gonna leave
There's the door
The words you say
The games you play
You are gone
Come back no more
On the phone
You're all alone
Wanna come back home
Stay away
Having no fun
You have no one
The door is closed
We are done
"Love's First Kiss; Kiss Me Again"
Lost in a moment, time standing still
The exchange of love's first kiss, oh what a thrill
The fire from within, where do I begin
To describe an Earthly heaven, with a mind full of sin
My thoughts I confess, my mind's such a mess
If I told you the truth, of me would you think less
The next move I'm not sure, to go or lock the door
I've got it so bad, what the French call amor
My blood pressure's taking a beating, hormones out of control
Like an engine overheating, passion feels my soul
I'm in love so very deep, unescapable mountain that is steep
Racing thoughts my mind keeps, just wanna jump and leap
I will just be honest, no use to pretend
Baby you know I love you, kiss me once again | |

"Opposites"
She gave me a smile, I gave her a kiss
She gave me the finger, now I reminisce
She went to hide, I couldn't seek
She crept out the door, I looked for a week
I saw her, she looked away
I listened closely to the words she didn't say
I said hello, she screamed good bye
I pledged my love forever, she told me to die
I gave her my heart, she took everything but it
She was my sunshine, I was a match that was not lit
I gave her my trust, she only told me lies
I gently touched her face, she poked me in the eyes
Now she is gone, I am kind of glad
I am happy now, which means that she is sad
Just trying to think of something funny to laugh about so I created that. | |

"The Ocean"
On a ship of wood, I set sail
To explore the world, and tell tales
Of an ocean deep, waters blue and green
Of lands unknown and sights unseen
Creatures of the deep, to my eyes unseen
My eyes beholding, a picturesque scene
Barely into the voyage, those aboard feel weak
A raging storm occuring, shelter do they seek
No where to run, no where to hide
The passengers are panicked, the crew nervous inside
The storm is upon us, the ocean's bearing down
All onboard are silent, not a single sound
The sea is violently surging, the waves are swelling
Passengers and crew alike, with buckets frantically bailing
The water's spilling over, the boat is getting full
Everyone is yelling, there's damage to the hull
The waves are getting viscious, the boat in need of repair
With worried hearts and eyes, at the storm we stare
Off in the distance, discouragement enslaves
The dangers of the ocean, a thirty foot wave
It crashes with a vengeance, wrath upon the boat
The boat is sinking quickly, few on board afloat
Only three aboard survive, the deadly storm attack
My life preserver saves me, unconscious on my back
One more with a preserver, the other trying to float
Struggling to stay alive, holding a piece of boat
His courageous struggle ends, in desperation and dismay
Help Me echoing in my mind, final words I hear him say
Floating on the ocean, nothing to do or eat
Death is chasing us, the overbearing heat
Darkness surrounds my companion, all hope is gone
His time on Earth has ended, now I'm all alone
Two more days of paddling, a sight I longed to see
Off in the horizon, an island stares at me
One more day away, my life will be saved
But the ocean takes my life, and puts me in a grave
Aboard a ship of wood, for discovery I sail
The ocean speaks of my death, listen to my tale | |

jd, the above are all very moving. What a heart wrenching thread! And my heart goes out to you for your weekend.
Here are two ‘bleeds’ for me. Hope you don’t mind my burying them in here, and yes, I know, no rhyme or reason, just thoughts and feelings. Probably will be the first and the last of them! But this weekend, wandered down the memory path.
‘Salty Tears’
So beautiful, twins—a girl and a boy,
Didn’t know for the longest time that
there was a little boy hidden behind his sister,
not until – two heartbeats on the screen.
After birth, they slept – face to face –
so tiny and cute in their little crib.
I always took the ‘little’ boy, he was so small,
All were afraid they might accidentally throw
him over their shoulder when burping him.
The little boy and I became so very close,
He would look into my eyes, so serious and
I could feel him go way down deep into my soul.
She would too, though differently,
with her smiling eyes, bubbly laughter, and cuddly manner.
Saw them every weekend – no matter what;
couldn’t wait for their love they so willingly give.
And then, they moved many states away –
I don’t get to see them much any more.
I try not to think too deeply – those beautiful memories
‘cause it brings way too many ‘salty tears.’
‘On the dock retrospecting’
You always loved to fish so very early in the morning
off this dock that faced the lilly pads.
You liked your morning coffee at 6 AM,
You would sit there for hours – catch and release.
One day I brought you lunch, you were having trouble
Couldn’t see to put the line through the hook,
You came up for an afternoon nap.
Upon awakening, complained of a headache.
Didn’t go down for the evening fishing, head hurt too much.
It was an awful night – nothing helped the headaches.
Next morn, you were comfortable, I left for work.
Mid morn – the call came. You had fallen and somehow
Managed to crawl to the phone to speed dial me.
Only a few words – ‘something has happened’
Called 911 – they sent an ambulance.
They said you had had a very bad stroke ----
wasn’t dealing with cancer (chemo, gamma knife and radiation) enough ----
now memory loss and vision loss with this!
You did the best you could in learning to walk, eat, and write.
Just doing little things by yourself again—the best you could do.
Today, on the dock, six years since you passed away,
I am standing here remembering; and,
knowing now what I didn’t understand then! | |

mndove--thank you for contributing. Write anything you want, anyhow you want, ever how many times you want. I am a friend to everybody. Anything that makes you or anybody else reading this feel better put it on here. By the way, very touching sentiments. I feel your losses, thank God I have more boy with me all of the time. Any attachment to anyone can be devestating when they are not around. Thank you. I wrote this poem for one of my bros (I don't have any birth brothers but he was a brother of my choosing.)
"The Million Mile Stare"
I saw it coming, death in the air
Ice cold eyes, the million mile stare
A fool in love, getting dumped once again
He'll get her attention,the unforgivable sin
Jack Daniels is courage, an auto is his knife
80 off a 60 foot cliff, he tried to take his life
Valentine's Day, drunk and late at night
He floored the engine, turned off the lights
Crashing through the trees, the car thunders to the ground
Bleeding and unconscious, sirens the only sound
Broken bones and stitches, a miracle to be alive
He is filled with anger, he managed to survive
He hears her words repeating, relentlessly in his brain
I don't love you anymore, they're driving him insane
Feeling like a loser, even worse than before
Feeling that he is cursed, his life is such a bore
He thinks he is pathetic, can't even end his life
But he'll try again, this time with a knife
Later on a call, talking about the past
A slit down his vein, says not much longer will he last
Said the blood is pouring, a river down his arm
Talking about the memories, while he's doing harm
A hundred down an empty road, flagging down a cop
Breaks through the door, to make the bleeding stop
Yelling at the world, a lonely heart that weeps
Give him medication, and he goes to sleep
The good news, after a few years of not seeing him, I saw him a while back and he was happy because he has a son. A good lesson to any one depressed don't give up, tomorrow might be better. | |

"To Wait a Lifetime; Here's the Moment"
A heart that is true, honest words I love you
Excitement fills my soul, like I never knew
Wishing it would happen to me, true love that I would see
Looking at a family potrait, and seeing only me
A lonely road I've traveled, only to my ears do I talk
I know not my lover's name, to write on the board with chalk
Impatience in my veins, trying to drive me insane
My fantasy is a peacock, my life just colored plain
Knowing she's out there in the world, so desperately seeking me
As I am searching for her, I scream and beg for her to see
My heart sending up a rescue flare, for her to finally find
The love two hearts were searching for, finally seeing what once was blind
Silently I scream so loudly, looking her in the eye
And finally finding my true love, that I thought had passed me by | |

Originally, I posted this on the contest thread. The reason for the title is that the secrets are not spelled out, read what is going on by the actions, thoughts, and the words used. There are quite a few secrets revealed. Have fun and thank you for reading.
"The Hidden Secrets of Love"
Standing washing dishes
A certain angle of her body
A loving memory
A teardrop in his eye
She glances at him with eyes that have love for only him and gives a smile that reconfirms
Smiling back, he holds her in a loving embrace
Realizing at that moment how much he loves her, his heart and soul cries as the tears flow from his eyes
His tears of internal bliss are bringing sadness to her, and she cries because he cries
Asking what is wrong, he speaks of his love for her, and she is touched by his love and honesty, this moment of caring will be etched forever in their minds
Looking so lovingly into his eyes, she affirms her depth of love for him without saying a word
The moment that the soul dreams of is here, an understanding that each beat of the heart, each heartfelt emotion, each lust-filled thought is only of each other
Pure primitive emotions take over, all control is lost, the flames of passion burning stronger and hotter
The moment is approaching between lovers, the one that time stands still
And all that is left are expressions of love
The submission, as two become one
Penetration of the heart, soul, body, and mind
The temptations are too much to resist | |

Here is another poem that was posted on the contest thread.
"Summer Sun"
Oh you,
The god of lost civilizations
Aztec idol at Earth's closest distance to the sun
Inflicter of pain to the fair skinned
Yes you,
The envy of three seasons
The thief of corporate profits; the cause of sick days and vacations
The love of the ocean as her eyes sparkle brightest with your burning intensity
The one children anticipate as it means the death of another school year
Alas you,
The one that oceans and beaches alike await you arrival to bring excitement to the place their boundaries meet
The bringer of happiness, fun, and games
The creator of new lives from first loves
You, my gaseous friend, are the SUMMER SUN | |

"I Miss You Granny and Pa"
It's been a long time, I'm no longer a kid
I miss y'all so much and the things that we did
Waking up in early hours, a hot home cooked meal
Standing by the wood stove, looking out the window sill
It's cold outside, frost on the glass
Pa invites me to the stables, but I take a pass
He laughs, rubs my head, and heads out the door
The memory has ended, please show me more
Pa come back, I'm not finished talking
I want to tell you something, please stop walking
Pa listen to me, a boy aged four
He didn't hear me and walked out the door
Granny, granny, granny, make pa come here
Son he has work to do, her voice rough and clear
But granny, I miss him, where did he go
She smiles and says, he has to work don't you know
Granny puts her hand on my back and pats it
Takes me to the table and helps me sit
A meal for a king put before my face
The delicious smell of breakfast filling the place
Butter biscuits, bacon, eggs and oatmeal
The memory smells so good it almost seems real
Granny what is that, what does it do
Takes the time to explain, but never says I love you
No need for the words, she showed me each day
The actions not words speaks louder than any word can say
Granny, Granny, Granny don't let this memory go
Pa, Pa, Pa, I love y'all more than you know | |

"A Different Man; Better Off"
Thinking about the years gone by, the man I am today
Looking at how much I have changed, the different words I say
The anger and the rage is leaving, now understanding and truth takes it's place
I look in the mirror at a different man, I see a different face
I once was wild and crazy, anger filled my soul
Not backing down from trash talkers, feeling too dang bold
Doing things that I must say, was stupid at the time
Putting myself and other's in danger, ignorance was the crime
Racing a train across the tracks, that was a bright idea
Skinny dipping in a pond, doing so without fear
Getting drunk on New Year's eve, about the only time I'd drink
Drag racing my insurance agents son, that's a real good one there I think
Metal music playing loud, making me uncare
A goatee and a bandana, half-way-down-my-back hair
A voice deep and gravely, a snarl when I would talk
A real hard core person, invincibility when I walk
Words as wild as the look I had, an uneasiness when I was around
The hint of danger in my eyes, by anger my hands were bound
Many years of being tough, physical pain I had not a care
You could punch square in the mouth, do it again I would dare
But one day something happened, a gift from the Lord above
After at least 10 years, my baby niece said Uncle I love
That went through me like a bullet, it touched my very heart
I had to run to the bathroom, and the tears did start
To be told that I was loved, my ears hadn't heard it in so long
To know that there was hope, my ears started hearing a different song
Slowly and gradually, my mind and heart started to change
And my life did follow, now it's rearranged
I realize it's okay to love, and even be loved back
I only wished a long time ago, that the wall around my heart had cracked | |
