I posted this on a different thread, but I like it and wanted to put it on this one.
"Mama"
Mamas take the time to do, the little things unseen
In the eyes of a child, they might not mean a thing
But as we grow up and have kids ourself, we do surely find
That a mother's love is unforgiving, her eyes are truly blind
All the things that we did mean, she just shook her head
Like dragging out the toys, jumping on the just-made bed
Cooking and cleaning, washing clothes, making sure we are clean
Laughing and playing, joking and loving, playing hide and seek even though we've been seen
Mama'a are reverent and sacred, they put us on this Earth
She sticks with us through the hurt and pain, stands by us from our birth
A mama's love is ever true, eventhough she knows we've done wrong
Blessed be to all mamas, the one that has loved us all along | |

Neat thread title to go with your poem. Also, the poem is the type that forces people to put themselves in someone elses shoes. I like when poems aim to inspire or make a difference. | |

supportofgood and MNDove--thank you very much for reading and for commenting. supportofgood--I am really hopeful that anybody that does read my poems might maybe look at things in a slightly different way than before. I know that I can't change the world, but I am ever hopeful that just maybe someday it might just change someone, even if just in a small way. MNDove--I do not know why I write the things that I do. It just comes from within. I am glad that you can relate to what I write. We, as human beings, all walk the same path some time or another in our life and it is pleasing to know that you and I have walked some of the same paths. Thank you MNDove and supportofgood and all others that read my poems.
I had a poem I was going to post but it just evaporated. | |

"How Deep is your Heart"
Oh the beautiful words, soft and flowing
Planting seeds of love, that keep growing
Beauty in your heart, my picture unseen
You love the way I make you feel, your internal gleam
The magic continues, the words still the same
You love me so much, no matter my name
I am your paradise, the one that you love
Your prince of tranquility sent from above
To grab my hand, and walk through this life
To live in happiness, as my wife
To bare future princes to save the Earth
My love has changed you, you experience a re-birth
Pledging your love, from all that is true
No matter what, you say "I love you"
Through the depths of the ocean, to the unlimited skies
You will love regardless, never say good bye
I showed you my heart, on paper with ink
Though electronically, you said no need to think
Your love is eternal, regardless of all
Forever will you be there, if ever I call
I sent you a picture, you wished to see my looks
Now I try to call, your phone's off the hook | |

Those where really beautiful poems i enjoyed reading them very much they really touched my heart. It is a really amazing thing when you can put your feelings into poems or any other form of writing. I believe that if you didn't put down them feelings into poems, then those thoughts will eat you alive or your walking around ready to explode. So when you are putting it into poems that also shows what a great spirit that you have it is like a gift. | |

Well I hink this is appropreiate for here. Its been a long while since i have posted anything. But here it is. I have this posted in my profile also for the moment. I dont have a title for this ,if any one would like i would love a suggestion.
Stupid enough to try loves bite again just to get burned. What is this peacefull illusion I seek?? Just an immaginary state of temporary relief! Knowing fulllly well this heart is ment to drift. Just another lost soul with a desire to taste first loves kiss. All this time wasted, lost concentration, please just one last dream! Still wasting time, making the endless effort, trying to spark a fire. Always just far enough away for my fingertips to reach, never enough to hold on to. I told you not to taste my heart, I was more then clear. Still you were persistent to be let in. I told you not to love, not to weep not to bleed. But still you kept creeping into that place torn and borken. I asked you please, please not to go there, there are paths ment to never be taken. Still you ran past all the signs. The dead trees, cob webs, broken boards and torn emotions, There you found me and led me away. Wanting me to just be happy, not understanding I was there for a reason. Left to never be tasted again, not even for a season. | |

Thank you all for reading.
honeybunn44--Thank you very much for reading and commenting. I appreciate your feedback. You are correct about keeping emotions bottled up. I came to the realization that true strength is admitting your weaknesses.
hotchkmlh--Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate the compliments. Also, I enjoyed your profile poem. I still have not thought of a title that might would be what you are looking for. Look within yourself, self reflect, and decide what it is you are truly trying to say. That helps me out.
"What If"
What if I would have been born in a life of luxury
and all the years I did without did not occur
What if I would have cut my hair and shaved my goatee
to go out with that girl
What if I hadn't gone to church
during the impressionable years of my life
What if I would have had a normal family
where there was no strife
What if there would have been a car
when I was doing ninety through that stop sign
What if I would have stuck around that drunk
with a gun and losing his mind
What if I would have cheated
with my best friend's girl behind his back
What if I would have accepted the proposition
of that woman for a roll in the sack
What if my female friend
had not talked me out of work that day
What if I hadn't had my heart destroyed
because of my true feelings I could not say
What if my life had not been filled with hurt, pain,
humiliation, and hardships, but was filled with joy
I would not be the man I am today
here telling everyone how much pride and love I have for my boy | |

I don't know, maybe just thinking about women tonight. What else is new. Seriously, I am just missing an old friend. Just about her birthday and just thinking about her.
"Penny"
I never meant to hurt you, but what else could I do
You were with your boyfriend, shooting a game of pool
I loved you, dog gone how I loved you, you still are in my heart
But I do not interfere in relationships, I'm sorry that tore your world apart
Please don't think I didn't feel the fire, when we exchanged that glance
And please don't think I didn't wish things were different, I dreamed of having a chance
Girl I would have married you, right there on the spot
You were just so sweet and beautiful, my heart pounded and blood got hot
And when you walked over and sat in my lap, with your boyfriend looking on
Please don't think that I didn't want to kiss you, I would've if you were untaken and alone
I had never wanted to kiss anyone so bad, with the thought my lips still tingle
And if we ever run into each other I still would, as long as we were both single
When you put your arm around me, and stared me in the eyes
I saw that kiss on the way, I'm sorry that I turned my head and made you cry
Girl, woman you just don't know, the dreams I've had of you
And though we could only be friends, I was so in love, I hope that you knew
If you had not been dating that dude, only the Lord knows what might have been
But that was all in the past, we all were different back then | |

Am I strong enough to bleed
but because I bleed I am strong
Without my bloodclots and open wounds
I fear the end brought forth by doom
To bleed to death, to drain the soul
To grasp my blood without control
I hang from my own pulsing veins
While they fade slowly in disdain
But I find the strength that I need
To carry on when I bleed
And I hold my scars so closely
Guarded from the demons inside of me | |

Patrickoftheamazon-- Thanks for contributing. One fine poem indeed. Good job.
"Looking for Myself"
Why are things the way they are
I ponder that thought as I look at the stars
I sit outside in the darkness of night
Looking for a magical star to shine its light
A thousand dreams of a better tomorrow
Yet when I awake, there still is much sorrow
A feeling of betrayal, let down by my friends
A continuous pattern of sadness, that never ends
Am I at fault for the shambles called my life
Maybe I am the reason for the turmoil and strife
But if so, can I change the powers that be
Can I rewrite the script of life for a new destiny
I have been myself, and people seem to like
Perhaps self hatred is the enemy I fight
I don't know how to love myself, more directly why should I
I'm no more special than anyone else, for one day, I too, will die
But I continue to search for my true identity
Maybe a miracle will happen, through new eyes I'll see | |

Still here in this living nightmare, knowing its my fault. Wondering why I am living with the consequinces, Why did I say yes?? 18 years of my life past, woundering where it all has went and what might have been if I didn't give in?! Still giving in, its so easy now, so comfortable, so uncomplicatted. What happened to the fire that once was, or was I just dreaming then? Listening to my heart lie!! Those sweet words and hot passions shared between two lovers, or was it two friends, just kids pretending to know what life was going to be? Never knowing that one would end up in such agony, heart aching, soul braking, and why?? Still she asks every day why? Why! WHY!!? I am still doing this, living here in sweet missery, maybe its to hard to learn new tricks. I am so good at this, fooling every one, palying my part. This fake smile painted upon my face, its been so easy to learn how to play and pretend in this race. I have fooled even you it seems, with the lies and grins. All the while these green eyes cry tears in the night for no one to hear or see, this broken soul only to be shown to the night. He seems to understand, no cross words or judging hands, he knows ones heart and the longing within. Woundering what happened to the love, not understanding, just being isnt good enough!!! Wishing , wanting ,woundering if the love ever exhisted, or was i just fooling meself too, a little game to play to pass the time, but didn't i realize, the time would fly. The game turned to my life.........................
posted on another thread, but felt it was fiting some how.

hotchkmlh-- always feel free to contribute. I enjoyed you poem, I got what you were saying.
As usual I really should be in the bed.
"Baby, Plaese Kill Me Again"
Why did you kill me tonight...................................................................................
that short black dress that barely covers your womanly attributes...............................
the silky black stockings that snugly fit around the curve of your calf and gently rises above the knee to mid-thigh level.............................................................
the jacket that drapes over your shoulders and draws attention to your cleavage............
high heel shoes...........................................................................
you have your hair pulled back with a lacy bow that is reminiscent of a very special romantic present that is only for my eyes and pleasure...................
your mascara telling your eyelashes to slap me in the face and grab my attention and focus it on your eyes--your stunning baby blues that have an unseen sparkle in them inviting me to a very special night........................
your smile is a little wider......................
your voice a little softer.........................
and the contact between your eyes and mine is drawn out with only a split second seperating long soulful glances........................
your fingers are a magicians wand tonight, performing magical acts that my body has never felt--the chills down my spine, the fires of passion being stoked by your touch....................
your fragrance transcends the body and rushes through my nose and grabs hold of all my senses--your sensual smell, the bodies natural perfume, the fruit on the vine is ripened and ready to be consumed tonight............................................................
yes, you killed me tonight--drawing me into your web of romance and ectasy, weaving your womanly fabric around my heart and into my soul anchoring it to all that makes me...............
your kiss, ever so soft and yet packing the force of a hurricane as you suck gently on my lips with each flexed muscle pulling at my soul--kiss me again and again..........and again..don't stop until you have drained my soul through my lips...I ask of you....I beg of you........
Yes, you killed me tonight....................
One deep, long, soulful, slow kiss after another.. and another......and yet again..............the kind I enjoy.....the kind I love............the kind I beg you with my eyes to kill me again with....................
My only thought is that you kill me everyday for the rest of my life............................ | |

"The Hurt of a Stranger"
I don't know who you are, but I know the pain I feel
That look of sadness in your eyes, I feel your pain, for real
Your eyes say you're so lonely, that innocent lost-child look on your face
It took me back to a different time, different people and a place
I saw little kids playing, laughing, smiling, just having fun
Looks or money was not important when their day was done
What the heck is wrong with us, people having to beg for a friend
People so desperate for a buddy, their own life they want to end
I know the isolation, I've lived it sad to say
And the hurt knowing that tomorrow won't change, feeling it day after day
I can tell you the bitter sorrow of needing just one hug
And looking at others with begging eyes, getting a What Do You Want shrug
The pain, the freaking intense pain, knowing that nobody cares
And I know about hiding the hurt behind eyes with a laughing glare
For those that hide the pain, always remember and understand
For I, too, feel and share your pain, and you always have one friend
With all the sincerity I can muster, I promise this is true
That anybody that needs a friend, I will be a friend to you | |

"A Simple Love Poem"
Dark clouds once roamed inside of my mind
The pains of yesterday are left behind
There is no more darkness in my life
You bring in sunshine where there was no light
The time I spend when I'm with you
Fills me with happiness through and through
You're special to me, I can not deny
We've been great friends, here's one reason why
You shared your life, you bore your soul
Without any fear, you paid the toll
Each moment we've shared is in my heart
And that feeling has been there right from the start
The time we spend apart, I miss you a lot
My thoughts are of you, you're the best friend I've got
A wish to kiss you, a passion within
Tender feelings for you because you're my friend
I desire for you to give me a touch
To hold me tightly and say you care so much
A closeness we've shared, a bond so strong
A feeling of love for you, too right to be wrong
You are always in my thoughts and always on my mind
A relationship so rare, a magical find | |

I am strong enough to cry and I would like to share my 50th birthday present from my son.
Raising a family without a single intention
Disaster strikes twice , no need for intervention
Phase three is a category that needs no label
Mother's love is strong when she's willing and able.
Dedicated for a lifetime invisible, umbilical eternally connected
I am you in other forms.
I am who I am today because of you
Blessed be the name "Love" through and through.
Poetic descriptions of an essence in life
I can see your feathered wings and the halo glows at night.
Unselfish an intellect mind state relate
To be more like you wouldn't be such a bad fate
On this great day, I celebrate the queen
Adhesive of the family, the leader of the team.
Words unable could only bring injustice
Your son and a fan from infancy to man
Best present I ever had...... | |

"Lost in Time"
All that I can give you, is what the good Lord gave me
A caring heart, an understanding soul, and words of honesty
Never would I hit you, always would I care
Never would I disrespect, never would I dare
I would treat you like a Lady, open up the doors
Give you a lot of respect, the things women now see a bore
I am just a simple man, country through and through
Lost in a time when people had manners, and you said hey to people you knew
It seems there is no one, for a man that gives his all
Money and looks, I struck out, a terrific friend if ever you call
I guess I don't understand, does women appreciate respect
Am I so lost in my ways, someone tell me what to expect
What happened when a woman was a Lady, and wanted to walk hand in hand
And wanted to be only with her man, the two would walk as one across the land
What happened to the five minute kisses, the feeling of soulful passion
Now it is straight to the act, no feelings involved, tasteless the new fashion
What happened to the time, when a relationship moved along slow
And you waited to get married until the other you did know
In a way it is rather frustrating, when you really are not like the others
If I am never given the opportunity, at least I know how to treat a lover | |

"Because of the Old, I Bring Forth the New"
I stopped at Granny's old house today
Got out of the car and went on my way
I stopped at the stables, imagined Blue and Mary
Blue the good mule, the other wild and scary
I walked by the plows, used to till the land
I saw grandpa unloading straw, he had such huge hands
Pa what are you doing, my voice young and soft
Goin' throw this straw up there in the loft
Can I help, with a smile on my face
He picked up me and a bale and toted us up to the place
Grandpa I love you, I remember me saying
He smiled, brought me back down and I started playing
I see the outhouse, I get cold from the chill
The December walks were not much a thrill
The packhouse I see, I remember the nights
Getting tobacco ready for the market, working by the light
The tobacco barn, up there in the rafters
Worrying about that black snake, still I hear laughter
Handing leaves to Granny, stringing by hand
She worked harder than most modern day man
There are the fields, for the food that we'd eat
For the winter time, canning it in the summer heat
I see the watermelon patch, all grown up in weeds
But I remember planting, all of the plants and seeds
Corn, tomatoes, cabbage, all in the rows
Potatoes, peas, and snaps all just memories now I know
I see the woodshed, the wood no longer there
When chopping and splitting, I had not a care
The smokehouse is there outside of the front door
The pork being cured, and in the freezer it's stored
There's the well still standing, the bucket at rest
Winding up the bucket and drinking straight from the dipper was best
I walk on the land that my grandparents stood
It is sacred to me, I shed both tears and blood
The energy is still there, life being lived in my eyes
I miss it all so much, I just want to cry | |

As I lay out in the sun
I'll think of you,
its gentle warmth upon me

the light it emits
slips through my eyelids
and reaches down to my heart
tis you holding it.
the energy it radiates
and penetrates through me,
like a blanket over the sky
tis your strength I feel.
the smile it puts on my face
the glow it gives me inside
the mystery of it all
tis you.
Forever,
