Best Ahold Poems
Things look bleak, hopeless...
A tapestry of images in my head
swirls and tells me a story,
hauntingly beautiful
then unravels so fast---
I try to catch ahold of it,
but fail.
Or so I think...
a single thread of thought
stays with me,
it winds through my fingers
and glows
Another thought floats by
so I pluck at it.
I let it intermingle
with inspiration,
then mesh it together with creativity
My loom is my imagination
my thoughts, my thread
urging me,
compelling me
to weave the story
and so I do.
For I am a word weaver.
As thoughts go in,
words come out
to create something
that warms the heart,
that uplifts the spirit.
I am a word weaver of life.
Allow my tapestry to comfort you,
even just for a while.

Our eyes meet, and the temperature is rising
When we're standing so near, there's no disguising
I don't know what to say, your a princess, I am clay
Yeah, opposites attract, I'm not even denying
You've got ahold on me, without even trying
This boy begins to pray, light up my life today
Sure you've got it all, but not so good at hiding
Feel the chemistry, just let go and stop fighting
I'm not going away, you body language says stay
I'm the oxygen in the air, your longing to be breathing
I see your smile, but in your heart there's a needing
Night explodes into day, when love can have its way
Hey sweet mystery girl, your beautiful face I'm reading
I think it's so very clear, your defenses I'm defeating
This dreamer's wish today, be free and fly away..
To me!
~Lyric Man
Note: They are opposites and she's so mysterious, but one thing this guy knows is chemistry.. and they have it! This upbeat pop lyric is about two racing hearts.. One we all see and another only he can catch.
If only she had known.
Then maybe she would have saved you.
Maybe she wouldn't have turned her back.
So that you wouldn't have to face this all alone.
She swore to him that this would never end.
Another lie, if only he had seen this coming.
The water overflowing.
A beating heart lying exposed.
Left to die alone.
And she turned her back on you.
With zero regards for the consequences.
She only thought about herself.
And the shadows casted so thin at first.
Leading to an overwhelming darkness.
What could he have done to prevent this?
Where'd she go when he needed her the most?
Another question going unanswered.
Just look what you've done.
You place the blame on everyone but yourself.
Trying to cover up all of these lies.
Your jaded veil, a facial disguise.
You left him for the vultures to feast upon.
Oh my God.
He would give anything to escape this shattered place you made his world.
Will he ever make it out alive?
He's craving something new.
Something to open his eyes.
Sick of being drowned by a traitor in a once beautiful disguise.
I'm coming for you tonight.
You'll never make this out alive.
I'm sick of your bull####.
Unimaginable lies.
This is the death of you.
You've forgotten what it's mean to breathe.
He let you get to his heart.
He let you wrap your hands around his soul.
But now his life is in my hands, and I will break the chains of your control.
You'll never make it out alive.
You'll never You'll never make this out alive.
Is this the end?
The end of you?
I hate to say I told you so.
Don't tell me this is not what you want.
I'm taking ahold of this.
I stand in front of you, you've become a mute.
Not saying a word.
Coward.
I will set my ground.
And without a sound.
I'll pull the trigger to save a life.
He will now make this out alive.
He’s beautiful.
Laying across from me,
Eyes a confused green.
I know his skin is soft
Because in one moment,
He placed a coin in my palm,
And I had the
Overwhelming desire
To run my fingers
Through his hair and
I know
I can’t help myself
My hopeless romantic
Tendencies have
Taken ahold of me.
And him, he’s just
Simplistically hopeful
And so am I.
I can see the good in him
And he sees the good in me.
And I think,
I don't know but I want to
I think
Hidden in the dark,
We could outshine the
Stars.
I wake up crying alone in the dark;
The thoughts of the dream made me scream;
I seek out your hand but its not there, nor are you;
I take ahold the bear and hug it tight.
I hold it,rocking myself, that dream was to real;
How we used to be, oh so happy;
In your arms, I was so safe;
Your kiss made my heart leap.
I miss you cant you see?
Our love was strong;
She came along and broke it;
Now we are done.
Every day we're shedding skin
Every hour I shrugged off my shoulders a version of myself that danced away with the thoughts that wouldn't dare to linger
These days like this when i can't seem to get ahold of myself and everything around me feels so empty
That clock tick ticking away so loud sometimes it's the only sound I can hear at all
Its only time passing
I don't put my faith in such things, that it offers any relief yet it does somehow
an abstract idea.. a unit of measurement
It shouldn't be a burden nor a comfort
But here we are, here I am
Watching clocks, wasting time
Praying as it passes by
That Everything's going to be ok
I see smoke and mirrors
Deceptions of the mind
Are they just glimmers
Of what I might find
Where have they led me
Have I been left alone
Is my will still free
Or am I now a drone
I looked up and saw shadows
I felt their groping hands
Sinister as black scarecrows
And I'm sinking in quicksand
Fear grabs ahold of me
Puts it's fingers on my heart
Drags me down to the sea
Begins to tear me apart
I hear bloody screams
Makes my hair stand up
Facing my bad dreams
And I wish I could wakeup
I see smoke and mirrors
Deceptions of the mind
Are they just glimmers
Of what I might find
Where have they led me
Have I been left alone
Is that my brain I see
Or just methadone

You can count on me
within a small frame.
As colors have a name,
you can count on me.
You can count on me
with a childlike ease.
By twos or by threes,
You can count on me.
You can count on me.
Take ahold of my beads.
For your counting needs,
you can count on me.
You can count on me
by fives or by tens.
You can count on your friends.
You can count on me.
I cast my gaze heavenwards
To a place where the love angels dwell
I can't see you, but hear my words
And my heart desires as well
She placed her heart on a platter
Not for me to consume nor to savour
But to keep ahold and cherish forever
Yet, shower upon a sheer ardour
Dear love angels hear my plea
Life changes like a quicksilver
I know not tomorrow, though I see
But I yearn to keep her forever
Quell my worries, my fears too
I'm possessed with ardour
If I lose this jewel, I'd be a fool
And ridded of heavenly favour
Would you rather plume out now
Perchance I'll see your celestial visage
As you clad in a holy alabaster gown
And set your ear towards my message
Bless me with plenitude of wealth
So I can give her a paradise
And from all quarters of the earth,
Pluck her the treasures of life
The world spins around so very fast;
Gone are the days of my past.
When I was young and free;
Nothing ever seemed to get ahold on me.
Then God placed 2 angels in my path;
My love for them covers my life like a hot bath.
Soaking my world in loves eternal flame;
With my 2 angels by my side,
Nothing will ever be the same.
The universe could cease to exist;
But my love for them will always persist.
There is no force that could ever undo;
The power of my love for the 2 of you.
I promise you, it cannot be done;
For nothing could ever come before a
Mothers love for her Daughter and Son.
The Easter Bunny's lost his eggs
can't find them anywhere,
he's getting frustrated
starts pulling out his hair.
His ears flop from side to side
while he's running around,
he trips over a tree stump
and falls to the ground.
He grabs ahold of his knee
he banged it, when he landed,
all he really wants now
is his wish to be granted.
He wants to find his eggs
asks the Fairy down the street,
she hadn't seen them anywhere
with his bum, her foot did meet.
He was feeling rather upset
he didn't at all find it fair,
that he's being picked on
and he keeps pulling at his hair.
He went to Santa Claus
but he wasn't home,
he was out working on his tan
and getting hair plugs for his chrome dome.
Bunny went to see Frosty the Snowman
he asked a couple of reindeer,
turns out, Frosty and Rudolph
were at the bar drinking beer.
Easter Bunny ran around for hours
didn't know where to look,
he was quite upset you see
others could read him like a book.
Bunny finally found out
what happened to his missing eggs,
the leprechaun had stolen them
and is hiding them under his legs.
Bunny then smacked leprechaun
upside of his wee head,
took all of his eggs back
and calmly went back to bed.

Happy Easter everyone.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalms 139:13 NIV
True Story Recently
The beauty of the heartbeat
Comes forth a new life
Even before this heartbeat one is being
Knitted together as a master piece
Recently, I was on a trip
At a water amusement park
Learning about dolphins from a tour guide
One could swim and play
With the dolphins if they choose
They would come up do tricks with one
Let one grab ahold of their fin
Swim one around the pool
So ,this guide tells on one occasion
This lady had paid her money
Ready to swim with the dolphins
So exciting this must be.
Eagerly she awaited her time
As many were in front of her.
Finally, it was her time to glide
Across the pool
The dolphins turn to bring her joy
So, the dolphin out of habit swims
Swiftly to greet this young lady
They seem as excited as the people.
But, in this moment the dolphin
Was headed towards her
Then, stopped in complete standstill
Seemingly ,confused is this dolphin
Not, to approach this young lady.
No one knew what was going on.
This took the trainers by surprise
Why is this happening.
So later they found out
A dolphin before it approaches
A human it hears the heartbeat
In this moment there was two heartbeats.
This dolphin knew it was a baby within
So it did not approach to harm.
God, sends us so many warnings.
Sadly, in blindness not many recognize.
Tonight, save me and wife and child from thee
Haunted horror our home assumes to be
Enchanted with evils, souls hell has freed
Oh God, thy neck is tired and hard to hold
Tyra...my wife, and child walk old of cold
Hath they, the dark; homeless, grotesque and bold
Entered at ease our evenings to ahold
Reaping our grand estate as ghosts paroled!
Vanish thy presence, hither not, visitor
Ill souls, why bring forth this inquisitor?
She speaks to me a low and lurring breath
I notice now the fog below my breath...
To be or not to be, I question death!
Oh God, must I travel her telepath?
Reciting how death of sick wife and child
Seduced a rope that my neck so beguiled
As I age
I hope to become increasingly difficult
to extract from flow of Presence
apprehending EarthMother focus
through holistic reflections
within Now
Without targeting Others
over There
lacking CoPresence.
I hope ego-awareness shrinks
within aging
cranial carrying
mindbodies
To swell without
toward ecstatic soul
comprehensive understanding,
co-infested stand-and-grabbing
To more easily let go
of my now eldering past events
yellowing oranged brown falling away leaves
of absent grace
To grab ahold
of bold winter's regenerations
of green-full hope,.
Prehensive linking
syncing resonant peace
engaging Earth JustUs
rooted ancient systems
Free-flowing through boundaried paradigms
dividing seasons
into tipping pointed reasons
for circling
deepening peak
yet widening spectral valleys
echoing Other's resounding exclamations
Fading
failing bipolarized dissonance
becoming dipolar co-arising
resonance
Confident this curious TaoWay
through resiliently polycultured Midway
seasons and surfs
at last expounding
plantings and pullings
rebirthing our final say
Fusing octaves of sight and sound
fizzing fractal note conduction
musing slow-grown co-redeemers
Risking final opportunity
to refill treasured seeds
sown and reaped
Cherished bodymind's rich pot
ential,
outial
post-axial cross
Over space
and under time's harvest
reimagining memory's branching place
for rooted earnest fortune
Racing thoughts
increasingly aged difficult
To extract from co-presents
of EarthJustUs time
sufficient for grace
repurposed peaceful space.
looking puzzled in a daze, watching as the sky turns grey!
Trying to figure out exactly what to say, wondering why things have to be this way!
Millions of emotions running deep, overwhelming thoughts make it hard to sleep!
Fears beccoming nightmares, dreams feeling out of reach!
I can see happiness in the distance and i'm reaching out to grab ahold,
but its too far away! Trying to cope, waiting for the feeling of self worth to
overcome my feelings of worthlessness but with all the chaos and catastrophes
its like it isnt meant to be! Tons of anxiety makes it hard to breathe!
Thoughts of ignorance makes anger hard to hide!
Through visions of red and bloodshot eyes, I ask myself why God why?
Why can't we all just be at peace? Why can't we live without pain?
Why must we live our lives this way? Why cant we get rid hate of and fear?
Thats just it though, stop and think! It doesn't have to be this way!
You and me can change the world, look to God and say a prayer!
Ask for forgivness and pray for help, for a better world live by the Book!
