Best Anothers Poems
Please
Please don't tell me how to feel
Allow me my sorrow
Let me cry for just a while
My heart needs to feel it's broken
I do not desire to be the strong one
Answers may never come
Still there is comfort in my silence
I reach into a place you cannot see
You are blinded by your knowing
Your strength can be a weakness
Blocking anothers compassion
I am not seeking answers to questions
Please allow me to be
Let me cry for a bit longer
Within my broken
I allow God to fill the spaces
I trust Him with the answers
He whispers within my solitude
There is a strange comfort in not knowing
So today
I cry for my friend
I feel his loss
His worry
The devastation of not knowing
The fear of the approaching battle
I wish to listen
Act if required
Cheer for him
Celebrate his spirit
Hold his hand
Cry, laugh
Live in his moment
I will not
I promise not
To tell him how to feel
I hide my emotions in a place so deep.
Living a act to myself I keep.
Understanding all with ideas I play.
Voices echo from the page all I cannot say.
Jokes from the clown.
Undone I am when in this empty town.
Love fills the air in the spring.
Encounters crushing hearts and many gold ring.
She Understands in a different way.
For she hears with the heart all I cannot say.
In code i speak without any rules.
Thieves try to grasp anothers jewels.
But my tongue speaks in limited realm.
Storms I welcome as long with me
you are at the healm.
Take this message and save it
for a lonley day.
And cling to the passion
of what I cannot say.
How could I have known
that the beauty of it all
would rob me of coherent speech.
That my eyes would find all else
pale in comparison.
Ears that once they have heard
such a passionate calling
would never want anothers song.
How could I have known

The tiniest of silver labrets amid the corner of her beautiful elixic lips, so full ~
With a small diamond shining and glittering, upon her perfectly poised nose
These dangling rubies waltzing from beneath her precious meridian lobes, with
A pendant lavaliere; sapient sapphire, wrapped within the finest of gold
Wearing a white silk dress, cut low, to bare her feeding and full tanned breast
Bronzed reflections of paradise, her soft summers skin
Gently brushing, upon my wanting and very own ~
While as barefoot we dance, atop the radiant golden sands
Slowly, beckoned beneath the swaying shimmering stars
As into each others eyes we then fall; into the essence of it all
This beauty, while as the waves they so gently play, Beethovens
Overtures of serenities warm embrace; two hearts and two souls, entwined
Deeply within the mirrors rapturous notes of, a compositions love song ~
Taking one anothers hands gently; fingers interlaced amid this light
Making our way towards the stairs their rising, beyond the whispering shore
Candles, burning and joyfully waiting, for consecrations breath of life
Consummations rose petals of fragrance, atop this brilliant feathered bed of bright
As slowly I lie her back, to capture forever the pulsing of these beating hearts
Two souls, melting and melding amid loves destined moment; cherished
Honey dripping its sweetened nectars; impassioned cries of resoundings
Within this, utopias, everlasting kiss ~

Beneath, these faraway stars....
Melting your frozen heart.
Why do you refuse to feel my love?
Why has your heart grown cold?
It´s so cold it is frozen solid,
beating ever so slowly,
for no one.
A warm smile, a calid embrace,
a compassionate understanding
heart beating for you
right beside you
only for you
here forever
trying to jump start
your
frozen heart
with the electrical
spark of my love.
Have you been abandoned
and hurt so much that
you feel too unworthy to be loved?
Why do you not feel my warmth
as I try to ease your pain?
Your gelid coldness will turn
your frozen heart
into perma frost...
if you don´t
allow yourself to feel
my warmth
there will be a cost.
A price to pay that is far to high...
for a heart
that remains cool
to anothers love
will stay frozen
and will
slowly
die.
A frozen heart
can melt
but it takes time...
to feel love again
can be so surreal
ever so sublime.
Open to me my love...
feel what I feel
with tenderness
kindness and patience
true love is revealed
Open your heart...
let it feel my love´s fire
even from a distance
you can feel the warmth
your heart can melt and
beat with mine
beating as one...together
till the end of time.

Piranhas, within a canaries cannibal world....
Feasting upon the flesh, of another innocent and vulnerable life
Delivered by the hands of darkness' entrenched; unknowing but willing, messengers of woe!
In hopes of crippling and destroying, by means of ridicule, guilt and shame
The subtle and not so subtle, of the spiteful and scorned....
Chatterings like arrows, from their poisoned bows
Within comments and verse, and their opened air words
Always the same-looking for their entrance, to bring another to their knees
To evoke their own will? These amissfully mangled and subverse desires
Within, these shatteringly tainted dreams....
Relentlessly they search, for the Achilles heel, to crumble yet anothers hope!
Traveling through these mediums of morbids main, and fluttering hearts....
In through the side doors, and along the corridores, via way, of the shadowish mind
Enter the sublimes of deceivings presented, before all of Heavens sight!
While as half closed eyes stand in silence, all about, within muted watch....
Reminding myself of a case years ago; where a young girl was beaten, stabbed and murdered
As at least a dozen different people, cowered within their rooms
Amid her desperate cries, beggings and pleas for help; help, that would never arrive!?
So such it seems so very often, among many within this society in which we live....
Whom turn their backs and avert their glance; while bowing their heads, and walking on by
Back, into their own blackened holes!....(Cont)
The fog sets in as the gloom of pain and anger creep over the hill side reaching out to us, Engulfing our hearts and minds with hate towards the ones that cause us so much grief, Wishing we could step in and reflect the damage done to those we care so dear about, Unable to replace the horrid memories we sooth them as best we can, Digging deep within their souls trying to sew back each string bit by bit....Torment in our lives cause misery beyond belief, All we ask for is pure joy and happiness, No such thing is bestowed upon anyone even those who deserve it, Stab the pain givers in their hearts with mental abuse of anguish in which they've given...make them suffer for the hurt they leave in their wake, Close your eyes...visions of how to ravage anothers body with your own torture deep within your mind, Actions wish to unleash such thoughts but alas we are stuck standing in front of the mirror as we bleed from the tear duct of our eyes, Hold strong be there for them...it's all we really can do anymore.
I took a trip down your memory lane
searched for myself
but I was nowhere to be found
It seemed like you erased me
left me hidden beyond the shadows
rewrote your feelings
silenced our meaning
Everything looked the same
your mothers house
the swing
the tree where I carved our names
the rose that I picked from the garden
it somehow was held in anothers hand
He was taller
more handsome
hair blowing in the breeze
I felt lost as I fell to my knees
how could you forget me with such ease
You more beautiful than I remember
A gorgeous angel born in September
Black hair and Raven eyes
seeing you made my spirit rise
I listened as you whispered his name
how could it be, mine was the same
was this all some silly game
Within your memory was an enhanced me
the two of us there kissing under that tree
On memory lane I'm who you wanted me to be
Trying something new, I reduced each stanza by one line.
Tell me your reasons and I shall tell you mine; never ceasing stories, but!?
Sheltered as a child and kept from the world, to soothe anothers scars....
Crippled through time these lives; life, psychologically mauled in maimed
Precipitations blades, leading the way while as carving stones of gray's
Jetison retro metros hand over fist in, contemporaries fit; this ice age rain?!
Tears pouring from blood red clouds these pools of pain to walk their plank....
Pirates of the Caribbean playing cowboys and indians again; falling stars
Upon terrestrials planes, with their prehistoric stones shaped like guns and bows
Taking aim amid the night of celestial sorrows from whence, they came!?
Ancients heavenly spirit now gathering the winds atop times turbulent waters
Of crimsons crashing unto the carnelian reef of what was; hearts that bled
In yesteryears fears like icicles piercing their eyes, to shatter loves dreams....
Tell me your reasons divination and I shall tell you mine; this soothing sea
Menhir's painted carmine whispers from beyound the mystic, torn veil?!
Angels dusting bejeweled crowns as passage beckons; this beacon
Calling unto the once lost children of light, tis time to come home....
Put away the guns and arrows and swords and bows; tears, upon fading shores ~

....“Kings & Queens II” *
My own head screaming at me
every thought another fight
strangling my heart
he hid behind my tears
every possible negative thought
battling myself to do what is right
always felt like i never got it
tricking myself into situations, strung along
confusing my own confusions
mind manipulating my fears
my own hopes used against me
every day
all day long
lost my free will
god came to take over
no sense of self to cut anothers hand through me
this is the case of the crime of your century
now its gone
i keep looking at the clock
see how long it's been gone
i am sound mind
the visual images bleeding in my head
foreshadowing of next paranoias
deadlocked mind
This new silence in my head is intoxicating
the freedom to feel ok without inner harassments
one happy tear
compared to the sobbing of hours on end
for my mind wouldn't let me be
just be good, you did a great thing today
you gave your life to the lord once again
creativity no longer a weapon
see my own self differently entirely
the awe and beauty of everything
overwhelming
being reintroduced to me
the one i will never forget again
a new game for my mind to play
a new way to be ok
another point today
intoxicating 13th hour
the wave of fear when god was afraid
the muse of his own spiritual syndicate of songs and dance comforted him
to heal the hands inside his head
She captured my heart for a blessed moment in time.
Everything seems new.
Now even words seem hollow as the lines to this rhyme.
Hands togather I held a chance at something so very true.
Strong are the arms.
That held on to all but you.
Such a strong appearence so many feeling I conceal
Please dont look into my eyes.
Cause my broken heart will reveal.
As the pain is a unending stress.
What is this agony
So many names is love none the less.
She takes my day.
every second she haunts my thoughts.
Keeping my heart from so very far away.
To understand anothers heart we can only guess.
call me a joke if you must.
But a lost soul craves love none the less.
"To All Christian Warriors Who Walk By Grace"
Hold on tight to your Helmet of Salvation.
The helmet is spiritual and it aims to protect the mind
Do this not because your Savior seeks to take it
Do this because Satan tempts you to give it up.
Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of Salvation
and the sword of the spirit
which is the word of God
Ephesians 2: 8-9
The Lord saved us by His
special favor when we believed
we can not take credit for this
It is a grace-gift from Jesus Christ
Salvation is not a reward
for the good things we have done
so none of us can boast in ourselves
Bear ye one anothers burdens
thus forfilling the law of Christ
LABORS OF LOVE
Demons longing to be released from their cage
Unleash their fury in a fist of rage
Life's not as simple as turning a page
Cycling rapidly these thoughts they can't disengage
Consumed by far too much hate
Doomed from the start at any rate
Unknown to unconditional love long ago sealed their fate
Mind a ticking time bomb lying in wait
Long ago their heart decayed
Crimson blood red is the only color from their life that didn't fade
Will never know if a difference kindness and love could have made
Ultimate price these fragile lost souls have paid
No place to rest their weary head
Restlessness settles upon them as it's time for bed
No relief, only nightmares so sleep too they dread
Once they self-destruct there's no telling if they're the only one who will wind up dead
Their hatred for themselves and life continues to grow
As does a wickedness for revenge as they're feeling so low
Be the change needed to help re-write how the rest of the story will go
Let the love and compassion in your veins into anothers whose is struggling to flow
If a lip could weave its own refrain,
It would drape itself; longing for delight,
A fleet strumming; a pair, in soothing rain,
World's lightening kept alive one stolen night
It would sing of passionate pages turned
Inside the bars, it holds moments 'til heartbreak
Vermillions borders crossed, endless war is yearned
What was fired from the eyes, leave Cupid's bow to take
In phantom touch, it tastes both love and rhyme
Petals, drawing on petals, the instruments, a blur
It is a joy, thrumming tune, at the pulse of all sprung time
In silence of the moment, it becomes a song for sure.
Closing at the commissures of superior and inferior seams,
sweetness is humbled; as I am won, with anothers dreams
As the sun goes down,
in a world far away,
brave men, and women,
are in harms way.
They were sent,
they couldn't back down,
this is their job,
no braver can be found.
I want to thank you,
for taking that stand,
our proud, and brave,
fighting for anothers land.
May God give you comfort,
and hold you so near,
as you help those in need,
chase away all their fears.
I think you are wonderful,
and I want you to know,
God bless our soldiers,
I love you all so.
