A FATHER’S PRAYER

Lord, you’ve given me this opportunity

This chance to be what they call a “daddy”

I know I’ve made some mistakes

But I think I’ve tried my best

As I sit here looking at them

I realize …just what a gift they are

Not everyone has this chance

Not everyone is fortunate enough

As everyday passes I try to reach them

I try to show them what life is all about

I try to give them a good life

When they look at me…and smile

It’s confirmation that I’m doing a good job

Of course the work is never over

Everyday brings a new challenge

A challenge to make them smile again

A challenge to face the uncertainties of life

Their innocent faces and pure hearts are my inspiration

It is with them in mind that I arise every morning

As I reach new endeavors in life

I see it as an opportunity to give even more

I’ve tried to make better choices every day

Wiser decisions…

I want to thank you Lord, for this opportunity

For this challenge…

I ask that you give me the wisdom

The wisdom to guide them as you choose

I’ve tried to gain their trust and belief

I’ve tried to show them my love

Not only through my words

But through my actions as well

At times…simply through my presence

Through my mistakes I have tried to learn

I’ve tried to acknowledge those mistakes

So as to not make them again

In time my “little ones” will learn of them

It is at that time I hope

Through the love I’ve given them

That they will be able to forgive

I also pray that in their lives

They will make wise choices

I pray that they will have the wisdom

The wisdom to follow their hearts

And to live their lives with a smile at the end of the day

I pray that when they do encounter life’s obstacles

That they will face them with the courage and faith of your love

Dreams
Kenneth Galvin Woods

So deceiving and bitterly wasteful

And yet so truthful and useful

So destructive of all humanity

And yet so warm and gentle

So much direness

And yet so calm

So disgusting

And yet so beautiful

So much hate

And yet so much love...

MOTHERS DAY

The root

Of

All

Trees

 that bear fruits

The light

Of

All

Darkness

That

Grows

Fear

The

Spirit

Of

All

Souls

That soar high

The sight

Of

All

Dreams that

Come true..

The vison

Of all

Missions

That succeeds..

Mom you are great !

Celebrating you on the mothers day!!

Happy mothers day!!

"YOU"

    You think I'm stupid...you think I'm immature, just because i wouldn't throw myself at you, just because i wouldn't suffer the heartaches anymore?? I never knew you, even when i thought i did.  You are so self centered, so self-involved, stuck on your self.  You are immature. You are stupid. Not me. I'm smart, just because i left you, i forgot you, i learned to hate you, instead to love you more when you was gone.  I can say i'm happy and i feel better, i have somebody better.  But YOU, you will always feel the same because now you have a kid, who is a bastard, because his father disowned him, the baby didn't do anything, but you are going to make him think that it is his fault. You, you out of all people.

   I'm only 14, pregnant with my baby boy Dameon and will always love him and he will always love me because i didn't disown him. You will never feel better, because you disowned your own boy, and hurt me.

                      DEAR LOVE

                      Krisana Bowles

Dear love your heart so sweet and pure.

Dear love your heart is so unbreakable I can not speak.

As I set in my chair I think about you and your pure face, as

clean as spring, as sweet as the leaves of fall and as handsome

as the warmth of summer.

How could this happen?

To us?

Why not them?

Or not even at all?

Why now?

Why today?

Why not tomorrow?

How could they?

Run out of...

Taste The Tears

A. F. Simo

It feels good

to have you

streaming down my face

and on to my lips

...and

I will make no effort

to stop the flow

as I taste the love

from which you were spawned

Without love

there are no tears

Without you

there is no love

I taste you in my tears

...so I cry for more

Brand New Page.....

Please don't lie to me

You said youd never make me hurt.

Its happened before, and you know im scared

Now i guess this time its your turn.

You say you think you love me

And you'll never make me cry.

But i cant seem to believe you

You'll have to work hard and really try.

I want to think your all good

And you'll never do me wrong.

I want to try it and give you a chance

But i don't think i can, my hearts not as strong.

COMING HOME

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS, SO I GUESS I'LL SAY WHAT'S REAL, I REALLY WISH THAT GOD WOULD ANSWER ME AND TELL ME WHAT'S THE DEAL. MY FIRST REAL, TRUE LOVE IS GONE, AND I ONLY HAVE ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: WHEN IS HE COMING HOME? WILL IT BE WHEN I OPEN MY EYES TOMORROW, AND FEEL THE SUNSHINE ON MY FACE, OR WILL IT BE WHENEVER THE JUDGE HAS PITY ON HIS CASE? WILL IT BE WHENEVER I FEEL HIS GENTLE TOUCH? OR WHENEVER GOD FEELS HE HAS HAD TOO MUCH? ALL THESE QUESTIONS CAUSE MY THOUGHTS TO ROME , BUT ONE QUESTION STILL REMAINS: WHEN IS HE COMING HOME? WILL IT BE WHENEVER I FINALLY HEAR HIM SAY MY NAME? OR WHEN THE SYSTEM FINALLY DECIDES THAT HE IS NOT TO BLAME? OR WILL IT BE WHEN THEY DECIDE TO GIVE HIM HIS BACK HIS RIGHTS AFTER THEY FINALLY SEE THAT HE NEVER PUT UP A FIGHT? IF GOD CAN HEAR ME AND KNOWS EVERY WORD I SAY, THEN WHY I AM STILL LONELY AND MISSING HIM ON THIS DAY? SO, I GUESS THAT I'LL NEVER KNOW THE ANSWERS AND I'LL ALWAYS BE ALONE, UNTIL FINALLY, ONE DAY, THEY'LL!

  LET HIM COME HOME.

When You Feel...

When You Feel I Am Not Listening

"I want to listen to what you have to say."

When You Feel I'm Rejecting You

"Please don't walk away."

When You Feel I don't Understand You

"I want to understand."

When You Feel You Need To Be Touched

"I want to be there to hold your hand."

When You Feel Sad And Alone In This World

"I want to be the first one to know."

When You Feel You Are Turning Into Bronze

"I want to help you turn back into gold."

When Your Heart Feels Small And Empty Deep Within

"Please open up your heart and let me come in."

 *I Love You*

I love you and want you

To have and to hold

My shelter when its rains

My blanket when it's cold

The way that you smile

The look in your eye

I love the way you hold me

Whenever I cry

I love you for you

And not anyone else

No one else could hold me

And make my heart melt

There's a place inside me

In which you have stole

A place inside me

It feels like you own

And no one could tell me

All the words that you say

It's the way that you treat me

That brightens up my day

When I'm with you, I'm safe

For all of my life

I pray to God all the time

That I'll be your wife

I love you and I want you

Baby can't you see?

There is no me without you

You make me complete

Whenever it rains

You bring out the sun

I love you so deeply

For all that you've done

From start to the end

And everything in between

I love you so much

For giving me this dream

I want this so bad

Just like I want you

So thank you my baby

For all that you do...

The Love of My Life

 The love of my life, but for all it seems is nothing more but a life full of dreams. The way I feel for you, you will never understand. The way I love you, no other man can.

 The love of my life, the one that holds my heart. Sometimes I wonder how can a man love a woman as much as I love you, but when it comes to love you can't question the way your heart feels or why you do the crazy things you do. The way you make me feel, words can not explain. Like the passion of ones love or the illumination to a candles burning flame. For you have given me all that a man could ask for and more.

A love so bitter sweet, a love that will never grow old. For you are much more to me than just my girl. Your my lover, a friend, the moon and the stars to my whole world. You have always been there for me in my time of need, never left my side, thats why you will always be my queen.

I can not say what the future holds, only of what I wish it to be. I see you in it though. Maybe as my best friend, maybe as my wifee. But I can say alot about the present, and for now you and only you holds the title as: "The love of my life" 

 

Strolling down the beach

Our hands clasped together

The sand resting between our toes

The ocean mist lingers in the air, dampening our faces

His eyes glisten in the moonlight

I sit in the sand

Wrapped in his arms

Our toes touching the waves that crash against the sand

I close my eyes

Listening to the gulls cry out to the sea

Listening to the ocean calling my name

Listening to his heart steadily beating

My eyes stay shut, I am paralyzed

 

&&&

I will meet you again for the first time

Hand and hand we’ll walk, in a place where time stands still

Always on the sunny side and never to be ill

No longer just a memory, I’ll have you once again

To taste to touch to hold you, where you’ve always been

We’ll walk along the beaches of who we think we are

The love engraved upon our heart and the things that made us scar.

All the endless sunsets that will follow us around

Blankets us a beam, forever we’ll be bound.

No separate space between us, the barriers they’ll be none

The seamless touch of beings, our space will be just one

To never be with out you, buried in your soul

Forever being happy and time will not get old

Every time I think of him

Every time I think of him

Something happens inside me

Something unintelligible,

Unfamiliar and unalterable.

And it is not clear to me,

What is going on with me?

My heart jumps like a crazy

The way I feel is just amazy.

Something makes me deaf and dumb

I feel ashamed and very damp.

When I look at him I catch fire

And sometimes I tremble like a hare.

My hands shiver and I can't speak

I feel that I'm powerless and very weak,

I turn to stone and I can't move,

What is this? Am I in love?

I don't know, all that I know is

When I think of him

Something happens inside me.

It seems that I can fly,

I can even touch the sky,

Just I must spread my wings and I can fly

As a little butterfly.

When I lost You - March 27, 2003

Jvb

As the sun begin to set, I noticed how quiet it was, I did not hear your laughter, nor did I hear you calling my name.

The peace around me is silent, like a cold winter night, after everyone has gone to sleep.

No reason to smile, or laugh.  Only memories of what use to be.

The atmosphere has changed since I lost you, I don’t have the desire to be near anyone else but you.

I imagined that our love would last for eternity, that it would never die, that we would always be together forever.

I miss the way you held me, when I needed comfort and when I needed to be loved, I miss the way you would hold my hands to make them feel warm when they were cold.

My inner secrets and desires were explored by your love.

When I lost you, I lost everything, laughter and smiles, now there is only silence.

My heart still remembers the way you made me smile even deep inside.

When I lost you, I lost a friend, my heart, my world…

YOU

Vanessa Ann Simoneau

You are my life,

My one and only,

The love of my life,

My angel,

My heaven,

My devil,

My hell,

You are the one I love with all my heart,

The one I hate with all my mind,

You are the one I fight for,

The one I fight with,

You are the one I dream of,

The one who keeps me up at night,

You are the one who keeps me alive,

The one that is killing me inside,

I know just one last thing about us,

And that is that I LOVE YOU!

she held

chase

  she held a wonderful smile

powered by eyes of grace and beauty

  she held a room full of strangers

with every breath she spoke

  she held me close

in an angels embrace of warmth and passion

  she held my utmost attention

with every word she spoke

  she held all i ever needed

in a single word

         but when i asked

  she held back yes and let go no

CRADLED LIFE

MARCIA E. SCHECHINGER

Charming radiation dwells around your body as it blooms

Our tiny child grow inside filling out your precious womb

Snuggled in warm fluid, nourished only by your food

Taking in your every breath, living life because of you

Swelling as the infant grows, your beauty does transpire

Knowing gift of human warmth, you cradle life with such desire

With child you stand before me, transformed in gentle hush

My two loves formed together by heat from loins that rushed

I reach to touch our baby gently, covered by the blanket of your skin

Movement of an infant greets me, creating strange emotion from within

Moisture flows from crystal eyes, as we stand frozen altogether

This sweet moment before life's passage,

EULOGY OF LOVE

Brandon Rountree

To you my angel, for all the things you do for me, and us.

For all the times I've made you glad.

For all the times I've made you sad.

For all the we've spent together.

For all the time I hope we will have together.

For showing me a love I never knew.

For making my greatest dream come true.

For showing me how to love again.

For making me feel alive again.

For showing that someone truly does care.

For showing me that you care.

For loving me for all faults.

For loving me for who I am.

For finding the magic within me.

For finding the best that is inside of me.

For all these things and many more.

I want to thank you for them all.

I make this pact, this sacred vow, that my heart beats only for you now.

For this one thing you can believe is true, that I will love no one but you.

I swear to you that my love will never fade as the years go by.

It will only grow stronger and stronger and time goes by.

Roses are red, violets are blue.

This is a special little poem I wrote just for you.

I hope this eulogy of my heart can show to you.

That I love you and that I never want to lose you.

STONES

Candy Laube

Her fingers were adorned with gold,

With magnificent and beautiful stones.

They showed a love untold,

Of high priced debts and unpaid loans.

He'd do anything for her love,

Anything he could.

Buy the stars and heaven above,

But not what he should.

Although he loved her madly,

The debts were more than he could bear.

And he died...sadly,

For the stones that she wears.

POCKETFUL OF TRUTH

   When I was a child in grade school

   I stole ice-cream sandwiches from the lunch line

             

   Afterwards, in the halls,

   I would offer them to girls

   For ten-cents of kisses

   When the day ended,

   My pockets were heavy

   Weighed down with dimes

   My need for affection was yet to be fulfilled

   

I tried
Amber Gagnon 

i tried to help

but it was to late

my good friend walked through the golden gate

she's with him now i should be proud

she's with the man she loves

(this poem means my friend passed on and is with god now)

THE GRACE OF YOU

Christopher Farris

You have a power over me,

That is - unreal.

A power that is untouched

By the grace of God.

Untainted by the hatred

Of the heavens.

By all the laws

Of life and love -

My world is yours.

So tender to the touch.

So gracious to the gaze.

Fill me with you

And I will love you,

For all eternity.

You Once Held This Hand

by: Benjamin Morris Lyon

On starry nights I held you close

we mingled two as one

and kissed softly with our souls

as you once held this hand

Tonight the stars

where we used to love

are dull... a lonely white

and my heart aches of loss

I feel you still

in my waltzing dreams

as we laugh in silence

and our eyes dance slowly with words

Oh how your eyes could speak

the moon itself was caught

tonight is dull... so lonely white

The wilting rose on our spot

so crimson in beauty it used to live

and now it is dead... a morbid brown

our love made it's soul survive

oh how the waves could find us

as nights passed on the sand

and the wind would sing our song

our beaches now are calm

as waves stole out with tide

and my ears hear but memories

you once held this hand of mine...

Hunter~
Stasia Isabis

I had barely known your smile,

or your locks of gold upon your head,

when in a sudden panic of split winding-

she tells me, you are now dead.

A conspiracy she thinks it

won't believe what has come true

and all I can focus on,

is the one day I spent with you.

Cutting their conversation in two,

you reached out your hand-

right out of the blue

introduced yourself to little me

and warmly asked "and who are you?"

Never has a person been so kind,

to shake this delicate, scarred hand of mine

but there were too many warnings and no beliefs

how could we all have been so blind?

"Attempting is one thing"

one would try to persuade me

"But the deed is a different level"

but how unconceiving could it really be?

She hadn't known the feelings

the want, need, and the push

its so easy to think your worthless

when it is the last thing you should.

And I'll never forget your face,

covered in the most playful hair,

or how your personality is the opposite of your name,

and I'll always still wish you were here.

THE CYCLE

I've fallin into the trap.

I promised myself that I wouldn't.

I can't put myself through it again.

That end was pure agony.

Joy, of course, was first known,

because you can't fall before being lifted up.

I've fallin into the trap.

I promised myself I wouldn't let him lift me.

I didn't care to touch the sky.

I know the end will be hell.

Now, of course, I'm in heaven,

because he stole me with his kiss.

I've fallin into the trap.

I promised myself I wouldn't be lost in his kiss,

I wouldn't find bliss in another touch again.

Warm kisses can turn cold.

Lust, of course, I have felt,

because you can't find love before lusting for it.

I've fallin into the trap.

I promised myself I would never love like that again.

I couldn't find it if I tried.

I almost died from the last one.

He, of course, took my heart,

because it wants to forever belong to him.

I've fallin into his trap.

But this time, it was because

I truly love.

Mother

I touch you.

You have surrendered ­

Impaled with sleep.

Honeycombs of memories

Intensify my anguish.

Reason ­

Does not clarify

Nor soften

My tomorrows.

Your silence ­

Blankets my mind

>From tears.

Only longing remains

For you,

My mother,

Who cared ­

For me.

My own eternal damnation.

My eternal damnation began the day that I lost you.  I have tried so hard to be the man that I thought you wanted me to be.  Nothing has changed and nothing probably ever will.  My pain and sorrow are like evil friends that join me in my darkest of hours.  Love lost has cast this upon me.  Hatred consumes me like no other emotion...the hatred that I have of myself, not for another.  Laying awake every single night, searching a different answer rather than the one that has been told to me time and time again.  What to do, what to say, trying so desperately to make things right, as they once were.  The only thing resolved is my knowing that life is not enjoyable without you, life is lonely without you, and life is very bitter and cold like a winter night in January without you.  The warmth of your smile, your voice, and your beauty were such an inspiration to my soul that caused me to strive to better myself, be the right man, do the right things.  But for now, I shall cast my!

 self back into the shell of a man that you now see before you.  The nothingness that is my very existence, my reality is my hell..my own eternal damnation of which there seems is no escape, no relief and no end...without you.

Forgiveness

 By: The Lost Soul

“I’m here to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry for all the pain in your life, I’m sorry for all the heartless lies, and all the times they made you cry. I’m sorry I wasn’t with you and I’m sorry they didn’t care. I’m sorry for those that can’t bring them self’s to be. I’m sorry for the ones that used you, without knowing who you are. I’m sorry for the things in your life that have caused pain, despair, and strife. I’m sorry for the tears you shed, as you lay in bed, wishing you where dead ; and for the ones that stained the pages you use to write, that spoke of death and ending you life. I’m sorry for your past, and all the things that didn’t last. I’m sorry for the present, and for the future too. I’m sorry for all the things people have done, and will do to you. For all these things im sorry, and for all the things I’ll ever do. I never wish to hurt you, but if I ever do, I beg of you. For my heart is true, for all these and more im sorry. Forgive me, and now them. I know you have !

 had pains and I have to. But for all these things, I love you. Forgive my weakness and forgive my tears. But I want you to know, Im here till the end of your years.”

LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

   What is life without love? Lonely, dark, and isolated. Noone to share your accomplishments with. Noone to laugh at your jokes. Noone to taste the food that you slaved to prepare all day over a hot stove. Noone to hold you when you need to be held. Noone to tell you those little things you need to hear when you are down and out.

   What is life without love? Noone to call when you need to talk. Noone to hold your hand when you want to take a walk. Noone to say I love you to. What is life without love? It's not.

I'm A Fool

By: Bryan Cruce

You caught me gazing from across the room

Our eyes then met for the very first time.

I knew right then that our love was in bloom,

No words left our lips, our hearts spoke in mime.

Your skin was like freshly-picked cotton, yet

Tough as cowhide, baking in the sun.

The only head of hair with lime, I bet

One touch of your hand and you had me won.

I know for sure that you came from above,

Looking back, I see this, but all too late,

For foolishness sometimes overcomes love

Before this love ever goes on a date.

         But now I must wait for you to come back

         And until that day, all my heart I lack.

STRIDE

SEAN MCMANUS

Across the planes I ride my horse

Never straying once from my course

Til the eve of winter I shall ride

Never breaking my horses stride

He gallops across time open and free

It's always  the same, just him and me

No one sees us as we pass

You will never see us in the mass

Open and free we ride through life

Never any hate, never any strife

Til winter comes, we shall ride

Never once breaking his stride

ELUSIVE LOVE

Heather Alicia Cozier

Love - desirable yet elusive!

Untarnished in its beauty,

Yet banished to deplorable debasement.

A treasure that adds sparkle to life,

Yet one simplified by gestures and words

One complicated by changing emotions.

Love - we long after it, we desire it, we crave it

Yet we find ourselves...

Starved of this rare delicacy

Our markets scarce in this precious commodity

Our crowns stripped of the resplendence of this jewelled gem

Our lives crippled from the absence of this one thing

Love - desirable but elusive - Love!

Ladder

The night is quiet

You lay with your head in my lap

As I stroke you soft golden hair

You sigh heavily and snuggle close

The moon shines full

As I think about how being with you

The stresses of the day just seem to slip away

I smile as you look up into my eyes

So sweet and happy, ever loving no matter what

I can come to you angry and hurt

You take the pain away, no questions asked

No explanations needed

I can be myself with you

You don't see my faults

You are just happy for the time we are together

You put my mind at peace

For all you do for me

Never asking anything in return

I will always be grateful

I will always love you

Rain Clouds

I dance, twirl, jump,

The Rain has finally come,

The burnt brown grasses lift their heads,

And sing,

With me,

The plants serenade,

The great oaks waltz,

And I stand here in awe,

A child of nature,

In the midst of this magical night,

Oh how I love the rain
