Quick wave of a wand
our future laid out and fate sealed
~ it was in the cards
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
You say there's nothing on earth
That im able to say or even do
To restore the love in your heart
Or fix this relationship with you
You're saying that you love me
But the opposite is being shown
You continue to push me away
And say you need to be alone
What you are showing to me
Is your heart can be cold as ice
I can't sense what you're doing
Don't offer my love as a sacrifice
Just grant me one last chance
I can be the man you're needing
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
For your love I'm here pleading
Thank You

if I
only
knew that
all it
took was
one more
glance, then…
I might
have stopped
to see
if that
quick spark
might flare
again
but the
moment’s
gone, it
went too
soon, and
I do
regret
still I
search the
same old
streets for
eyes I’ll
never
forget
Loving From Afar
Staring at you even only from a distance
Is enough for me even without a chance
Your presence I always got from a glance
Making my heart comes out to dance
Suitor of a dream, catching a midnight
Sailor in the sea, waiting for a twilight
Breaking the horizon, nearly left to right
Loving from afar is like losing on a fight
The hundreds of but, what if’s, and maybe
Are the cycles of love and what it can be
It may be romance, subtle, or tragedy
Just like loving you without knowing me
But no courage to show the feelings inside
Doubts are dominating with fears alongside
Beats of the heart doubled like a riptide
But I will always here loving by your side
The first time we met was last night
Feelings flew like rockets in the sky
You were bashful and a little coy
Your cuteness I could never deny
We were all sitting around one table
Enjoying the company and our beer
More people showed up at the table
You set on my lap whispering in my ear
We were flirting with each other
Then planning out our future to be
It started out as fun but it got serious
Maneuvering life just to be with me
Throwing all caution to the wind
Together in life we took a chance
And we will ride this to the end
Our lives one as long as life grants
The sun beat down for two hard seasons long,
Their land was parched, where grass grew strong
Near death went by, and whispered a sigh,
Beneath a vast and empty sky
Watching the dust, with a heavy heart,
And wondered why, as life fell apart
Confused, we questioned, every day,
Why did Mother turn and look away
Then sudden tears from skies above,
A gentle deluge, filled with nourishing love
The heavens wept, a soaking grace,
Washing the world, at their own pace
The thirsty ground drank deep and slow,
Remade; this sleeping garden grows
And lilacs shy, with branches bare,
Woke to the moisture, in the air
They pushed new buds, a sweet delight,
Though autumn winds began with might
A second bloom, a purple gleam,
Gifts of a rare white; unexpected dream
two hearts throwing
caution to the wind
~ come what may
I thought to climb the mountain
then thought
why any need for atop?
Could just stay in a valley
where, less chance of a smashing
flop!
And if I flew, some aircraft of sort --
passenger, better chance I could safely
have same view --
Nah! What the heck!
Break-a-leg, as they say in the theater
The captain may down with his ship
trapeze artist, chance a deadly slip
I will perish someday, anyway~ if
not by faulty rope, a bad performance, a
capsizing storm, or poorly timed flip --
When I see u i feel something right inside of my heart,
I try to act different like I don't care,but I really hate being apart,
I know I've changed and you have too but is it for the good,
Cuz one thing that will never change i loveu dont even know if it could,
All I'm saying is like brenton wood is take another chance on me,
Cuz my love is way to strong for me to leave things the way that they be,
It's really frustrating and makes me mad but I know I am to blame,
I treated us and I was wrong and acted like it was a game,
If people know that they hate to lose then games they shouldn't play,
There is a saying that u don't know what you have until it is taken away,
And after all this happens to u and then you are all alone wondering if you can get it back or is it 4 ever gone.
Hard to say never give up!
It's very simple when say,
But when we work on it
It's more difficult than we think.
Yet, I say never give up
Perhaps, you get,what you want,
But remember one percent chance
Too much to win!
Guns stop firing, still the hate goes on,
with grievance still burning all along.
Peace talks halted, no hearts in repair,
Just hollow moments, trembling in air.
Need more than stalling, need to claw back trust,
Need to face the truth that inclusion is a must —
Not in the silence, but when hands entwine,
Not to encompass truce, but to redraw the line.
Hear what we're saying.
What we keep telling.
This ceasefire is only pause, not peace.
Guns fall silent; but none are melted down.
Ceasefire? — Just a pause.
Peace? — Takes a cause.
Stop the fight? — That’s nowhere near enough.
Mend the hurt? — We’ve got to do the hard stuff.
No more walls! — No more hate!
Justice now! — We will not wait!
Call it a start, but it’s not the end,
Peace turns a foe a'fighting into a friend.
Don’t pause at stopping, let the healing flow,
Plant seeds to settle; let green shoots grow.
The guns go silent, but the anger stays,
Smoke in riven hearts never just drifts away.
It's called a calm, but it’s just the hour before,
the storm returns, with deadlier power.
All we are saying —
Ceasefire’s not peace.
All we are saying —
Ceasefire’s not peace.
Destiny, oh destiny, why hide thyself from me.
Come out, come out, for all to see.
A life filled with struggle, then at last a surprise.
Why not reveal now how I self-actualize?
Have I no choice of my destination,
How I’ll proceed in my maturation?
How many ways could there be?
Or outcomes to this mystery?
More than one, surely a few,
Leave some things to chance, it’s the least you should do.
I want to have challenges and growth each day,
A purposeful life as I travel my way.
Life’s surely not over, with just destiny
My soul longs to live for eternity.
I know you’re hurting
I know you're completely lost
But just this once
Let love lead the course.
Let it lead, gentle as light
Mending the broken bridges
Guiding you gently home
Back to where you’ve always belonged.
Love has its simple ways
It thrives in the dark
Plants a candle in your chest
And teaches the heart to trust again.
So let it reach you.
Let it rewrite the ending.
Even after all this time
Love still knows your name.
If I ever had to live with regret
It would be the choice I made
That day just past midday
When the world dropped its mask.
There I stood adrift in thought
Drowning in a tide of anger
Sinking beneath my own silence
Wounded by what I didn’t know.
If I could build a softer clock
I’d turn its hands back gently
To the moment I saw you and him
But this time, I would ask.
I’d ask who he was, not assume.
I’d listen instead of walking away.
Can we return to that unspoken hour?
This time, I won’t choose pride over love.
