Best At Birth Poems
To be of nature apart from myself
And find its meaning is threaded from birth
To be male or female, to be one self
As two are one, its strange value or worth
To find there is beauty to pursue
To be male , yet be gentle to comply
And understand empathy has value
To see a feminine world through a male eye
Grounded in confidence of one's skin
Accept each heart felt burden, to forgive
To not think emotion revealed a sin
Allowing sensitivity to live
To grasp we're born from both male and female
To know two form one, on life's weighted scale

Such a romantic soul am I
But I live my life in limbo
As time flays by
Each day one step further
To the grave
Cursed by loneliness
Void of love I so need and crave.
It hurts so much when I am in town
With so many women and couples around
Everyone seems to have someone but me
I am just another face in the crowd
That no one really sees
For I am invisible don't seem to measure up
Although I try to friendly and kind it's never good enough.
Everywhere I look sex is in my face
But I need so much more a tender touch
And warm embrace
It can't be normal to not be touched
Or wanted by another human being
Loneliness took me to some dark places
I rather not have been.
I don't want to die alone
And be discovered dead in my bed
With fly's at the window pain
My heart feels like it's kicked like a football
My loneliness is killing me
And almost drove me insane.
Never truly loved never missed
No flowers or mourners at my funeral
I'll soon be dust and nothing at all.
But all I ever wanted was a wife and a child
I drink till I'm drunk to ease the pain
Each day I live a nightmare
I cannot change.

How could anyone in their right mind
Choose war over peace
Conflict over stability
Upset over a smooth flow
Please enlighten me before I pass into the ages
Maybe I'm missing a few brain cells
But it is totally illogical to me
We carry on with our day to day activities
But looming in the back of the minds
Of all the peace loving souls in the world
Remains this fear that we're heading
For a disaster of monumental proportions
My days here on earth are relatively short
In comparison but I still find it
Totally unbelievable and I'm absolutely appalled
That so-called intelligent human beings
Lose track of what this life is all about
Are their genes unique... different to us normal folks
Did something get crossed up at birth
Help me! I just don't understand
Is there a cause worth dying for?
I know not one if you ask me
The only and most important thing in life
Is love of our family and our fellow humans
Where did I go wrong in this assessment
Please SOMEONE... help me!

No baby smiles on birth
Once tender
In a beautiful
World
all was peaceful
Water running from
Her body to keep
The tender alive
Day by day
The tender grow
With no stress
Oh The tender feed
From her body
What ever so come
there was
No hunger
Neither anger
There was enough
Oh there was no
Laws or rules
Only that of nature
Was for the tender
Day by day
The tender grow
With no needs
What a paradise
Of love
The tender is
So well protected
From here womb
For she is a woman
Mother of creation
Day by day
Till the 9th mouth
Time for birth
Here the tender
is force out
From this beautiful
World
From the womb
So peaceful
Birth is on to life
As the tender
Is now a baby
Out from this peaceful
World (womb)
The baby cry for
Likely He or she
is force out
From heaven
Like is obvious
You see
No baby smiles on birth

lost child haunts me
small finger whispers on my neck
I keep this to myself
I keep her to myself
imagine
dark brown eyes of mine
mind drifts to her sweet face
lost at birth
I will always miss you
sweet girl

There I was conceived at birth
if then all my life I could've seen
all that was planned in my future
asking what does all this mean?
It was in these early weeks of life
that tongue was tied staying every day
what thoughts had I in these times?
no one knows about this lump of clay
At that time my mother gave me up
what inward effects has that all had?
thankfully adoptive parents took me in
but then it could have made me all sad
There I was in children s home before adoption
not knowing my future at that very time
but God had weaved me in mum's womb
had His hand upon me over hills to climb
The Almighty knew His plan for me all along
no matter my stammer, adoption all my strife
from that moment at birth would be at my side
clutching my hand every day of life

At Birth
Written: by Miracle man
9-3-2019
life’s mast was hoisted and sails unfurled,
And while I’ve never became a man of the world.
I’ve done my best with what God has given,
And by a fecund imagination I’ve been driven.
Like Jonah, I too, was found inside a great fish,
Jesus gave me hope and now I cease to wish.
From the belly of my fish I would soon ascend,
God’s voice had brushed me like a gentle wind.

At Birth
By: Tom
11-6-2019
Each life is like a taper seen burning bright,
Consuming our wick illuminating the night.
By mid life we’ve reached our burns climax,
Later comes a flicker, then a puddle of wax.

Twins! Our mother was excited
Until she met me.
I was the odd one.
My sister was thrilled
But I was thrown out at birth.
My sister came back to visit sometimes
Until she forgot
Too socialized to come back
I was the wrong color
Not my fault
But I paid the price
Wrong color. Wrong life.

Baby's first breath
Requires a regulated inhalation of air
Expelled through exhalation
Allowing life to begin.
This is usually followed by
Hearing baby's loud cry
Letting relieved parents to
Express their delighted excitement.
Signified by wide satisfied smiles
Sometimes this elation leaves them breathless.

Life Doesn't Begin At Birth (Try, Fail, Rebound)
When you're down depressed in a heap
and you see their want is all they seek
when you feel you've died but heart beats
numb are your nerves
your worst fears have fallen into place
when you've lost it all as it's gone to waste
and love fell short never there to trace
couldn't be worse
lights are dying, bulbs blown
and so all the life you have known
you must try to fix you
from high up above to crashed below
when you don't believe but yet you know
so deny your thoughts a chance to flow
blocking your hurt
sight allows you to let go
and will lighten up your load
you must try to fix you
tears stream, the mind flows,
here dream, decline lows,
fear, grieve and find space
Arise from your heartache
strength put with time grows
pain over time goes
ambition sparks, let pride race
life begins with a starting place

In the process of
Knowing you
He came to talk
So interesting
With speech
While my mate walked
...with you
Alone, it seemed
Uninterested in me
He lodged with beasts
I preferred beauty
And the questions
Hanging on trees
...forbidden
I reached for fruit
You said nothing
As I communed
You are too
Companion to me
Though both doomed
...to death
The creature violated
Me, again and again
As I yelled your name
I knew you would come
For one purpose
To clothe violence in shame
...for being human
You abandoned me!!!!
You left me with judgment
And a prophecy that bound my body
To an earth filled with
My children's blood
Godless...no LOVE
No pain is greater....
Wait
Is that you
Wailing in the corner
With bound hands
As my roots are being
Bound to a barren ground
He's a liar...He's a freakin' liar
None of this is TRUTH
Daddy God's name is LOVE
And nothing can separate us...NOTHING!!!
