| Not found...Not lost...
Posted: 6/8/2008 9:40:38 AM | Still I continue to search my soul
reasons for my being here and now
Moments of pleasure are few as of late
yet my heart holds out cause she can wait!
Sometimes we search for someone or something
Finding that what we really only need to be ...just is!
I know of the pleasure of a heart with one beside it
I now know of what it is to be alone with myself
I am still kind of searching but not for an outsider
searching inside for the ways to make my world brighter!
If we cannot be happy within our own shell
how then could we bring another in as well?
So simply and honestly I say with a grin
I will travel this road to the place I... begin! | |

| found...Not lost...
Posted: 6/9/2008 3:14:54 AM | We spend our lives searching for a love true
We search far and wide looking for a clue
We search world wide looking for our fate
We wonder if this is it with each and every date
We search high and low but nothing seems quite right
We sometime think we found it beneath a starry night
But in the light of day we find it wasn’t meant to be
We look into the crystal ball and hoping we will see
We go to all the right places and on dating sites
We think we see our love in dreams on lonely nights
We don’t give up looking though we think it’s in vain
We search all around us and then we start over again
We wonder if we’ll ever find love true and real
Maybe we were not meant hope, love and feel
We look far and wide to find a love that glows
Then we find that love was here under our very nose

| Lost in Anger
Posted: 6/10/2008 3:27:06 AM | Icy fingers clawing
Ripping at the heart
Stabbing, drawing
Blood, chilling
Hurting, pain felt
Words of anger
Blow after blow dealt
Each one hitting home
Spearing, attacking
Each firing delivery
Bringing its sting
Anguish felt intense
Heart is crushed, broken
Bleeding, weeping
With each word spoken
Chipping bit by bit
Ears driven past hearing
By the constant onslaught
Words burning, searing
Piercing as a sward
Eyes full of tears, sore
Sobbing, weeping
Swollen, inflamed and raw
Blinded by teardrops

Posted: 6/25/2008 10:24:24 PM | Today I wondered along the shore
The wind blew loud and furiously
I watched as waves crashed with a roar
And a seagull spied me curiously
Then looking down towards my feet
I found a stone rounded to perfection
So smoothly refined and sleekly neat
And it came to me upon reflection
That this perfection of cold stone grey
Was made so by the onslaught of sea
Tossed, battered and chipped away
Till it’s edges were worn and scar free
And so much like life now I can see
Beaten and blown this way and that
But will perfection ever come to me
Will my life ever be smooth and pat
Will the rough edges ever wear down?
So that only peace will exist for I
Lover and joy and without a frown
Will I life be perfect… before I die

Will I life be perfect… before I die
Seek Not Perfection
Seeking perfection
can be somewhat of a lonely road
for heavy becomes a heart
as one carries this burdensome load
when we can find that place
where we are simply happy with who we are
release all past mistakes
let healing be done to internal scars
than such joy shall fill us to overflowing
where perfection no longer we need to find
for inside we have become healthy
found peace of mind
if one continues to search for that perfection state
I believe they will always feel lost in this shuffle of life
putting upon themselves truly
unnecessary strife
acceptance of self is crucial
it is then we find that peaceful place
where no longer
do we feel that through this life we must race. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 8:43:37 PM | Perfection is the deep red rose bloom,
Attached to a long stem,
That has healthy, green glossy leaves.
Perfection is a beautiful rainbow,
Forming a bright colourful arc,
Viewed through shimmering rain drops.
Perfection is twinkling stars,
Glittering in a dark velvet sky,
On a cold winter night.
Perfection is a state of peace,
Feelings of joy and goodwill,
Expresssed in a warm smile. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 11:01:42 PM | Ah here is wabbit dropping in
With her words of wisdom
My peace of mind is up and down
Whilst I transcending from my past
To a future bright with love and joy
Where the past no longer exists
No I know my life will not perfect be
Would just like all the baggage gone
Set aside from the present, away
Locked and unable to touch our lives
So that I may walk steadily forward
With no chains dragging me behind
So thank you my friend for your words
It’s good to have friends along this way

Perfection of the rose we can’t replace
Each beautiful petal a perfect shape

Posted: 6/27/2008 11:25:27 PM | Seek not perfection in me,
for I am imperfect
Is it to much to ask
to be friends
Will my imperfections scare you away
and hide your face from me
Like a leper in a blowing wind
i seek only for you to know me
If only at a distance
for know with all your heart
If you are needing
my disfigured soul
Will pull you up
even at the risk
Of your sickness

Striving for excellence motivates you;
striving for perfection is demoralizing.
~Harriet Braiker
Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem
strange if old friends lacked certain quirks. ~Goethe
No one is perfect... that's why pencils have erasers.
~Author Unknown
Sometimes... when you hold out for everything,
you walk away with nothing.
~From the television show Ally McBeal
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang except those that sang best. ~Henry van Dyke
Gold cannot be pure, and people cannot be perfect. ~Chinese Proverb
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. ~Confucius, Analects
The most difficult part of attaining perfection is finding something to do for an encore. ~Author Unknown
When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target. ~George Fisher
Once you accept the fact that you're not perfect, then you develop some confidence. ~Rosalynn Carter
Even the best needles are not sharp at both ends. ~Chinese Proverb
No One Knows
where I've been
No One Knows
what I've seen
No One Knows
who's on my screen
No One Knows
who's my in between
No One Knows
how I play my cards
No One Knows
me like other bards
No One Knows
the whole nine yards
No One Knows
lonely boulevards
No One Knows
it's not what it seems
No One Knows
early morning screams
No One Knows
how I play these themes
No One Knows
these are just my dreams

You see, when weaving a blanket,
an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving
of that blanket to let the soul out. ~Martha Graham
Congratulations! You're not perfect! It's ridiculous to want to be perfect anyway.
But then, everybody's ridiculous sometimes, except perfect people. You know what
perfect is? Perfect is not eating or drinking or talking or moving a muscle or making
even the teensiest mistake. Perfect is never doing anything wrong - which means never
doing anything at all. Perfect is boring! So you're not perfect! Wonderful! Have fun!
Eat things that give you bad breath! Trip over your own shoelaces! Laugh! Let
somebody else laugh at you! Perfect people never do any of those things. All they do
is sit around and sip weak tea and think about how perfect they are. But they're really
not one-hundred-percent perfect anyway. You should see them when they get the hiccups!
Phooey! Who needs 'em? You can drink pickle juice and imitate gorillas and do silly
dances and sing stupid songs and wear funny hats and be as imperfect as you please and
still be a good person. Good people are hard to find nowadays. And they're a lot more
fun than perfect people any day of the week.
~Stephen Manes, Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!

Beautiful words HotDuke. Thank you for your contribution, I hope you will post some more of your writes in here.
I stare at the ocean, depressed and alone
Full of self doubts, thinking of the unknown
That darkly surrounds me each carbon-like day
And paints my life with brushes of grey.
My hand falls to my side and you’re sitting there.
You’re always besides me and I’ve been unaware
That no matter what happens your love is true.
I’ve never known someone as faithful as you.

Posted: 6/28/2008 6:12:56 PM | Genegem you read me wrong
I do not seek to be perfect
That would be too hard to achieve
It is not my being on which I reflect
For you must accept me as I am
But a tranquil life would not go amiss
Time to gather my soul and let it rest
For I do not seek such perfect bliss
Just calmer waters to catch my breath

The Friend Who Just Stands By
When troubles come your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you.
For these are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

Reactive as some minds can be,
this lively one belonged to me;
It quickly tried to analyze
the wherefores, who's and whats and why's.
Before the facts were tallied in,
my world was in a frenzied spin.
Just trying to focus on one thought,
brought on a long and fierce onslaught!
Speed readers never worked THIS fast,
I saw ALL chapters, first to last!
I snuck inside, one busy night
to see why it was wound so tight;
like popping up an auto's hood
to see if I might do some good,
I planned to slip inside, unseen
in hopes of turning it serene.
With boring thoughts as my disguise,
I made it past my mind's wide eyes!
I used my new subconscious probes
and took a detour past the lobes.
While brushing cobwebs from my past,
I knew I'd found the place at last!
There slept the guard, while on patrol
as thoughts escaped the main control!
By waking up that sleeping clown,
the rapid thinking settled down!
The mind, no longer wound so tight,
I left the place and bid "gggooooddd-nnnnniiiggghhhhtt"......

Thank you naive I very much appreciate that you take the time to read. Your words are encouraging
When the dream weaver descends
He’ll weave me a magical illusion
Where both body and mind transcends
To a place empty of hurt and confusion
I’ll gaze upon sunset’s ethereal gleam
And roam the garden free, among the blooms
Sunlight shimmering across a glistening stream
I breathe in the blossom’s fragrant perfumes
Discover beauty never noticed before
A serene retreat of restful peace and calm
As I feel my spirit take flight and soar
Drawn into its wondrous aesthetic balm
Surely, in such a place
The heart finds renewal
The soul feels new hope

Posted: 6/29/2008 1:31:12 PM | Bless the Autumn beauty
Of cold, bone - bit brezze.
The early lamplight duty
pierces the dark of streets.
Looking up to distant stars
That deid a long time ago,
with precious little knowledge
you can still see them glow.
Orange river of leaves
beneath the skeletal nudity.
It is only the seasons
disrobing them of their dignity.
A spoonful of wind
For a broken umbrella
A puddle of rain
for proof of your clothes.
It follows you forward
with age in hand,
reflections through wet windows,
time is in your plans. | |

Perspective Gained
At times life becomes such a monolopy
of frustrating emotions that brings strife
our world is spinning this way and that
we step back in retreat from this life
in hopes of gaining perspective
through silence with introvertion this is found
days may turn into months passing
until again beneath our feet we can appreciate solid ground
when witness do we again a calling bird from a tree
our eyes which were foggy now again see a welcoming light
find have we that place of serenity
our world most profoundly spins right
time alone is needed
perspective in life is crucial to co-exist on this human plane
insight into oneself is truly monumental
in resuming into a healthy participant in this life's game.
At times life is overwhelming , lost we seem to be, yet I can assure you that balance again be found if we look inside to see.
