| Oh How I Wish My Friend
Posted: 1/24/2008 6:03:06 PM | There is so much I would love to do for you
If only we could meet face to face
Although we may be strangers
In the beginning we are all strangers,until friendship takes it's place
Oh how I wish my friend I could make you laugh
Oh how I wish my friend I could see your smile
I would hold your hand and try to soothe your fear and pain
If only for awhile
Oh how I wish my friend I could take you places
Whether for a long country drive or a walk in the park
I would take you wherever you wanted to go
Wherever or whatever brings joy to your heart
It frustrates me because I know my wishes will never come true
And there is so much that I want to do for you
These are not just words typed on a page my dear friend
They are my sincere thoughts and feelings from within my heart
Wanting all the very best for you
Even though I will never meet you face to face
I want to let you know
I care and I'am thinking of you hoping and praying you will win this battle
Hoping and praying my dear friend everyday your hope,strength,will to live continues to grow

Posted: 1/24/2008 8:28:59 PM | Somewhere, from the still of the night,
comes a sweet song, an awakening.
A peaceful epiphany that all is right,
that a new dawn will soon be breaking.
Sometimes, across the deep dark river,
there is a vision, a calm healing light.
it warms the mist that made you shiver,
and numbs the pain that stole your fight.
Someplace, there is a fresh new life ,
where kindred souls can start anew.
where everywhere within your sight,
are hearts of joy and words of truth.
Behind you, is a trail of falling tears,
of those who held you far too tight.
We will let go when days are years,
we thought that what we did was right.
In front of you, there is peace at last,
restoring you to the man you were.
so crippled were you until it passed,
but never once came a bitter word.
Someday, we’ll be together once again,
like we were before this Hell awoke.
We’ll spend our days making plans,
and passing round those silly jokes!
This moment in time is but a pause,
I will never see it as the end!
we will regain what has been lost,
We will laugh once more, my friend.
Somewhere, Sometime, Someplace......

affecting the lives of the rich and the poor.
A mass of overwhelming complications hinder progress for the
people who are healthy, for the people who are sick and for the young and for the old.
We can strive to overcome our afflictions that cause us great distress.
The outcome of our immense efforts can be rewarded with an overflowing abundance,
especially when our health is restored.

Posted: 1/25/2008 7:45:09 PM | We are born to die and die to be reborn
This is what I sincerely believe and everyone is entitled to their own beliefs
Death is inescapable, but living and loving on earth is not replaceable
Imprints in peoples hearts of all that you have given will never cease
This is your life no one elses, only you know how you feel
Of course we all want the ones we love so much to never leave
But when you have fought for so long and hard that you can't fight anymore
Close your eyes picture brillant blue skies and let go of all the pain and grief
You have fought the battle a true warrior you are
Like a young soldier fighting in a battle field, not just for his country,but for his life
You fought not just for your life, but for the ones that you love so much
You are a true inspiration with tremendous courage through all the excrutiating pain and sorrow you still continued to strive
Victorious you are and victorious you will always be
You never lost, but won the hearts and love of so many how very proud of you they must be
You never left your loved ones genuine love never dies
And most important for all that you gave are treasured in their hearts and minds of so many beautiful memories

Posted: 1/26/2008 6:30:42 PM | On a warm summer day, when no one is around
Lay back on the green grass
And listen to the sounds
Of the sweet music the birds
Sing for you
The waters of the river
Relax and bring tranquility too
Look up into the big blue sky
And concentrate on the clouds
They form such wondrous pictures
Imagine them to be whatever your imagination allows
Feel the soothing warmth of the sun on your face
Smell the scent of the lilacs in the air
Are you feeling contentment to be in this place?
Free for awhile from stress and worries we all have to bear | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 10:55:38 PM | Changes are altered throughout the world in so many ways
Look back twenty,thirty years ago far more survivors of cancer today
These changes did not just evolve from nowhere
Millions of people made a difference by opening their hearts showing they care
By walking many miles to raise money for Cancer Research
Doctors, nurses,volunteers working numerous hours blood sweat and tears
Experts trying desperately to find a cure and never giving up hope that the time is near
Thank God for all the caring,loving,devoted people in this world
Without them what would we do how could we cope?
One thing for sure there definately would not be any hope

Posted: 1/27/2008 5:49:13 AM | To love and be loved the greatest gift of all
Treasures of pure value secure inside our hearts
Family and friends share an abundance of joyfulness and sorrows
We laugh together lean on one another love so strong can never be torn apart
Memories unfold as we stroll down memory lane
Our bellies ache with laughter reminiscence of childhood antics
Family and friends get-together,outings savour each moment
We disagree display anger and sometimes an enemy attacks that causes panic
Our light turns to darkness
Our smiles change to tears
When the one we love so much is suffering
We are brokenhearted and our minds are filled with fear
It's so difficult to be strong,but strong we must be
With all our love so powerful we can help the one we love so much defeat this enemy
To love and be loved treasures of pure value inside our hearts
Love so strong can never be torn apart

the trees they have fallen from
autumn has begun
but soon spring will come
the buds through the storms remained
and the leaves return again

| Food for thought..Your not worth it
Posted: 1/29/2008 4:45:40 PM | Teardrops drench my pillow when I think of you
After all the many joys and heartache we've been through
Your giving up on me things can't always be good at times they are rough
You certainly enjoyed the good times,can't handle or choose not to when things become too tough?
Your not worth these tears I cry and the pain in my heart I've had enough
Don't bother trying to phone me or come knocking on my door
You finally showed your true colours
I want nothing to do with you anymore
In life you take the bad with the good
And if you cared and loved me you certainly would
Have been right here beside me instead of running away
I will survive stronger,genuine hearts of men in this world I will find true love from one day | |

OP - I have a bit of experience with publishing through small presses. If I can be of any help, please feel free to contact me.
That said, allow me to contribute one I wrote for my dear friend & fellow poet Ron Jones.
~~~
Perestroika
someone I love is dying
there is no poetry in this
no glib or beautiful eulogy
just the heaving sigh of knowing
and the story to be told
last night in dreams I stood by the window
and watched you walk up the hill
the snow was deep, swirling around your legs in an icy embrace.
I pressed my face against the glass and tried to will you back
but snow had filled your tracks
and there was nothing but blinding, white, absence
it snowed today
icy snowflakes touched my face
they tasted like sorrow, like needles
like pennies in my mouth
tonight begins the stitching
small black words sewn together
your tracks going up that hill | |
|
| Food for thought..Your not worth it
Posted: 1/29/2008 7:52:28 PM | To hell with this
get inside the ring
let loose of all your anger
snug tight your boxing gloves
and kick the s**t out of this malicious thing | |

Posted: 1/29/2008 7:56:42 PM | What a wonderful idea. I hope you collect hundreds of poems. This is one I wrote last summer but, it kind of fits. A serpent is a serpent.
The Slayer
Sleeping in the shadow of
the dragon’s keep I dreamt
you blistered and bleeding
epee drawn, battling alone behind
prison walls of sneering teeth
and noxious breath
If I could, I would gather into myself
all the wisdom of the immortals,
the courage of ten thousand warriors
the faith of a mother’s prayer
and free you of this serpent’s embrace
But I am just a woman
with no arsenal to fight
save, tears to bathe your wounds
a breath of love when you are gasping,
two hands to catch you if you falter
and a heart that won’t let go

the flower fades,
but memories are forever,
a legacy of love,
from generation,

a keepsake locked,
within our,

Posted: 1/29/2008 10:03:17 PM | This is an honor for me -- I will give this a try!
Shaded colors painted dreams,
My mind's a blur at least it seems.
Painted pictures on the wall,
I don't remember where I got them all.
I will love you all of the time,
If you leave my words may not rhyme,
This message may seem so sublime,
We'll meet again, somwhere, sometime.
You are so brave for all to see,
You've touched many hearts with joy and glee,
Please smile for me just one more time,
To live without you is such a crime.
The love you've shared will never go,
The lessons learned from you will alway's glow,
Look at this world from a broader scope,
Remember this there is alway's hope. | |
