How You Had Fought So Hard and Fierce !
My true love was gone from here..,
The challenge to be free is a question of time,
My one solution is using my mind..,
Living on the edge and its' going to my head !
Sitting up at night all alone in bed..,
Following the rainbow to the sky !
I see a crystal clear vision of you pass me by,
Our war were in is almost over ?
It's so hard to believe that I had lost my Lover ?

A Snug House
By: Noel N. Villarosa
A snug house on the prairie
Where family members return and urge to nestle
Stoking intimacy gone in the past
Of pluvial and winter, it withstand
The pineal form of its roof
Where nestlings kept and fed by their mother bird
Is a life-giving when the sunbathe its frame
A time to harmonize to the swing of season’s best
A place to revitalize strength after a snappy pace in work
Pointless and aimless views settled in one decision
As all are desolating and aging
A promise is kept for going back again
Hibernate in the coldness of the night
Return engagement to activities in daylight
Back and forth nailed its floor with footsteps
By sunrise everyone is gone, alone again standing is the snug house
How hard can it be to say hello to a stranger on the street
or smile and say "how are you" to anyone you meet?
It sure can't hurt to be polite or lend a helping hand
or give a friendly word of cheer or respect your fellow man.
Be friendly toward your neighbor, don't try to shut him out
peaceful co-existance - that's what life is all about.
You can turn a frown into a smile by just the words you say
like"please" or "thank you very much" or "have a real nice day".
Sometimes a friendly gesture or a little word of praise
is all it takes to bring that smile, it's true - you'ld be amazed.
Remember the times you were off somewhere in an unfamiliar place,
how much better it made you feel when you saw a smiling face?
If you apply the Golden Rule to all you say and do,
you'll talk to others just the way you'ld have them talk to you.
We're in this world togeather and will be till we die,
we can't make friends with everyone but it wouldn't hurt to try!
What is love?
Can I have an answer
It is fear, trust, lies, and lust
It is love
And you will do as you must
Some would say
It is perfect
The butterflies
The kiss
You know the first one
The one that you miss
Some would say
It is terrible
A poison if worse
It can kill you
Drop you dead
And even drain your purse
Some would say
It is everything and nothing
A partner for life
To share good and bad
To split every something
In the name of love
And little ones
Gifts from above
Some would say
It is a passion
The intimate thrill
Nothing more
Than a one night stand
To do with as you will
Be careful of the hollow words of early I love you’s
They are show
Nothing more
But little I.O.U’s
Know difference
with infatuation and love
Since some things will hurt you
Some things will push and shove
But what is that silver-lining
loves total thrall
It’s the completely amazing experience
That happens to us all
Through repeated good and bad
We see the light in dark
No matter who or what it is
Love will make its spark
So I am saying
I am not mad at you
I am not sad
I am worried as a friend
That things may go bad
So please
From the bottom of my heart
Be careful
Be cautious
But make it to the peak
Because this is a great experience you’ve had
And its certain love, you should keep
''through clouds of smoke,
through acid rain,
all you can see,
is destruction and pain,
bomb shells dropping,
endless bullets fly,
till no one is left,
to see the world die,
thanks to humans,
we live in fear,
and because of them,
we can not hear,
the crying and mourning,
of lost loved ones so dear,
so this is how it will end,
with us killing them,
and them killing us,
the human race is hopeless,
we've made our own doom,
we have made our own hell.
It all came to me simply right out of the blue.
I was up against those war raging winds again.
I rose up to a failure of my life way back when.
But it was just like that and immediately I knew.
Abba they cry to my Father , Please! Please renew.
We are just crying out for we all come through sin.
We’re sin sick and do not honor where we’ve been.
It is in the air it is in the water it is definite parvenu.
Give me my purpose give me meaning for being in this.
I will absorb it and transform it to thought of my matter.
I shall come out negative or positive still blowing a kiss.
My thoughts my feelings my life already utterly a shatter.
Devastatingly! I have been denied,
Yet, miraculously! I have survived.
When Love Goes Away,
Tears fall,
Hearts break,
Smiles turn to frowns,
Love stops,
She drops,
Her life fades away,
Her heart stops,
Life goes away.
Purity,
innocence,
not touched by
the left.
Only the wanting,
with digits reaching
out,
with lips,
wanting lips,
throbbing heart,
and,
her honest smile.
Upon my lap,
my treasure find,
my lift,
her press,
our dancing hips.
Purity,
innocence...
that thank you kiss
In life you overcome the good and bad
But why is my life always sad.
In life you give and give and sometimes take
But why does my heart always ache.
Life just makes me want to give up
I try and I try but never no good luck.
The bills the kids the headaches it's not right
Is this all just a part of life?
For the rest of my life I’ll just wait and see.
What else god has installed for me.
Whatever it is I’ll just let it be.
But life won't be life if I can't be me.
The stress the pain it cuts like a knife.
Yes this is my life.
Childhood delight, if meant to be
S'mores-gas-bord, little choc-o-chips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree
Capri Sun, lil' pouches - hmm - see
Jumping rope, and hop a few skips
Childhood delight, if meant to be
Squirrels & birds, quickly, munch with glee
Tree-crow protects from bunnyips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree
Sneaky, scavengers disagree
these treats for itty-bitty snips
Childhood delight, if meant to be
Problems could arise - gollee gee
Peanuts fall, they'll grab with grips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree
Nocturne critters, smaller bee
leaving behind few honey drips
Childhood delight, if meant to be
A Peanut Butter- Jelly tree
In the light I see people everywhere.
I can't mistake joy for sorrow;
For their laughter makes me smile,
Yet I don't feel like looking forward to tomorrow.
In the darkness I see nothing,
In the end I'm drenched in comfort.
No one can hurt me here.
No one can find me here.
Still in the night,
Moving through my mind,
I allow myself to dream.
Moonlit waters, streams flowing,
I dance in the shadows of the trees.
Minding myself, unaware of my surroundings.
A hard, cold breeze blows,
Whipping me back to reality.
I somehow know that dream will not be true
The bark worn smooth,
a scamper up.
Looking down takes my breath away.
Leveling off, I’m safe in the cockpit.
Flying the Iowa skies, way above the tassels,
Control panel at my fingertips.
Spreading my wings and charging the clouds.
Birds skimming by.
The branch cradling my adventure
is broad,
back firmly against the trunk,
sun over my shoulder.
Apple blossom shadows on my arm.
Between petals and freckles,
bright spot lights of sun
sparkle on my skin.
The petals are so pretty.
I pick a bouquet,
shinny down the tree, and
bring apple blossoms home to my mother.
