Premium Member Sonny and Cher

Salvatore Bono
The short and older half of the Sonny & Cher show
hit a tree skiing and then was gone. . .
But like his gravestone says: “the beat goes on.”

Cherilyn Sarkisian, AKA Cher,
known for her low singing voice and long black hair,
poked fun at her hubby on TV in ‘71.
Her daughter, now named Chaz, has turned into her son!





*Sonny and Cher were a very famous wife/husband duo
of the 60's and early 70's. Cher continued singing even 
till today. When they broke up, Sonny became a politician
and served in the House of Representatives. His skiing
accident was a great tragedy!

Poet Destroyer-It Will Be Ok

I know first hand the
pain in your heart,it
will be okay,soon you
can make a fresh start.

Your grandson Beal will
be watching over you,and
he knows everyday how
much you love him to.

Sometimes GOD does things
that we don't understand,
but he created your friends
to lend a helping hand.

Reach out to the people
that are here on the soup,
they help through hard times
and are a wonderful group.

There are to many to name
as this you know,
they will take you by the
hand and won't let go.

It will be okay and
soon you will see,
the new joy's in life
and how happy you'll be.

           You will get through this it just takes a little time.

                                                Love your poet friend,

Mothers Are

Mothers are love you can never replace,
                        from the day you were born they have that embrace.

                                Mothers are someone you can always turn to,
                        when ever you are in trouble and don't know what to do.

                                Mothers are our healers all the times that we are ill,
                             it is just how Mother's are,always have and always will.

                                Mothers are guardian angels who guide us through life,
                                      they are gifts to our Father's to be a loving wife.

                                Mothers are special and are made just for you,
                        always beside you when you need help to get through.

                                Mothers are people who will always be around,
                       she may not be your blood,but a Mother is common ground.

                                          MOTHERS ARE PRECIOUS PEOPLE

Don'T Cry When You Say Goodbye

Life is just like a game we
all play,I seem to live my
life day by day.

Some days are good,
some days are bad,
but lately most days
I am very sad.

I think it would be better
if I just ended my life,I
don't think I have been a
good mother and loving wife.

I've picked a time and have
a date,I am hoping things
get better before it's to late.

Alot of people tried to help
anyway that they could,but
when they tried to commit me
I got scared and ran.

I've been very confused 
and not sure what to do,
I think things would be better,
if my life were through.

I love my kids dearly,don't
get me wrong,but I've 
been living in pain
for way to long.

Please don't be sad when
you tell me goodbye,I
honestly don't want
to make anyone cry.

        Colleen Marie Bono

Through the Eyes of Another

Just once I wish that someone 
else could see things the way I see,
but through the eyes of another,
they think that it's just me.

When I look into the mirror I 
don't like what I see,
but through the eyes of another,
I'm as good as I can be.

I see and hear alot of things
that other people don't,
but through the eyes of another,
they say forget it but I won't.

People always tell me just
take things day by day,
but through the eyes of another,
maybe I should find another way.

I live my life in so much pain
because of the love'd one's I have lost,
but through the eyes of another,
it's just another path to cross.

I get so mad at myself for
the way I handle things,
but through the eyes of another,
they just don't care what it brings.

This life I have lived just
seems to be unfair,
but through the eyes of another,
I made it through on a wing and prayer.

            Colleen Marie Bono

On the Wings of An Angel

Today is the day I have
chosen  to die,on the wings
of an ANGEL I will fly high

I feel I could have been 
better while I was here,
but on the wings of an
ANGEL,I will have no fear.

All my life I had to put up
a fight,but on the wings
of an ANGEL I will be alright.

Things may have been better
if id'e taken time to pray,now
I am on the wings of an ANGEL
and I am going to be ok.


                   Please LORD watch over my loved one's.

Premium Member Turd In the Grass

I refuse to feel like a turd in the grass
Laying there till I become petrified
No one coming to pick me up
They see me as the low of the low

Laying there till I become petrified
Of no value to anyone else
They see me as the low of the low
I lay here alone in the tall grass

Of no value to anyone else
Is this all there is to my existance
I lay here alone in the tall grass
It is time for me to rise to my feet

Is this all there is to my existence
This is not the life of which I dreamed
It is time for me to rise to my feet
Passion for living energizes my life

This is not the life of which I dreamed
No one coming to pick me up 
It's time for me to rise to my feet
I refuse to feel like a turd in the grass

Dedicated to Colleen Bono, she always jokes 
that I can write about a Turd in the grass
and make it sound good. This one is for you Kiddo

To All My Souper Friends

I wanted to thank each of you personally,but there are to many
of you so I am writing this to all who have been willing to put up
with my sad and dark poems and all the kind comments you have
made.I have been overwhelmed with friendship since I joined the soup.
I never knew there were people like all of you out there,but I have
discovered that there is.I have struggled all my life with depression,
and other mental illnesses.My outlook on life is said through
my poems.I don't know myself when I will decide I can't take the pain
anymore.It is a day to day struggle for me.HG,you asked me how could
you write a suicide poem and not die?I can't answer that question,
and Douglas Ace you asked what our friendship means to me?That I
can answer.It means more than anything to me and your kind and 
gentle words are all taken to heart.Linda Marie has also helped through
my trying times.Jeralynn Clark,and James Fraser, wrote a poem for me,
which I appreciate more than words can say.I wanted to write this to
everyone and I hope you all get everything you ask for.I can't keep
fighting the feelings that I feel about ending it all.It is a day after day
feeling and I am tired.I will watch over all of you.I just can't hold on
to the future when all I think about is the past.You all think I need
help and I agree ,but have yet to find the help that is going to change
the way I feel.Please read my poem Is There A Heaven.When I find
out you all will be the first to know.I must go now and I hope you
all can understand why.Thank you I know isn't enough but I don't know 
what else to say to show how much you all meant to me.Peace and 
Love to all of you.Pray for me.

                                                     YOUR SOUPER FRIEND,
                                                       Colleen Marie Bono

Life Is To Short

Life is to short to waste 
it away,you need to 
live and love your life,
each and everyday.

Your family and friends
are always there for you,
and they all know your
there for them too.

Children are gifts from
God up above,please
remember to always
show them your love.

Life is to short to think
of ending it all,when
things get to rough,
you need to stand tall.

Remember to live life the
way God wants you to,
for it is up to him to
decide when your through.

Premium Member Baby Unicorn

Welcome to the land of butterflys and buttercups
The place where baby unicorns run free
It does not rain here
Nothing but sunshine
sandy beaches
Race with the waves as they crash against the shore
Here the sand is white as snow
Yet it's so soft
So warm
The water azure blue
Dive into the ocean
Let it envelope your body
Wash away sadness
Cleanse you
Renew your soul
Emerge 
Energized 
Strengthened
Joy can once again be a friend
Dream happy dreams
Fill your land with all that you love
You are woman
Stronger than even you know
The pen is mightier 
You are a poet a creator of worlds
You determine what you see
You choose your joy
Let imagination fuel reality
See the you that you are meant to be

The Woman Inside

There's a woman inside,
with a very big heart,
but the people outside
keep trying to tear it apart.

The woman inside can't seem
to say no,she wishes just 
once she could begin to show,
the true feelings that she feels
inside,and hold her head up
with a little more pride.

The people who know her
wouldn't know what it's like,
to go through everyday
having to put up a fight.

The people around her just
don't understand,how they
take advantage when
she tries to lend a hand.

Everyday is a battle not
knowing what's to come,
or at the end of the night
when you just feel numb.

The woman inside wants
to take her own life,
because the pain is so strong
it's like a piercing knife.

The woman inside often looks
in the mirror,but know matter
how hard she looks nothing
seems clear.

She looks and looks trying
hard to find,for once in her
life a little peace of mind.

More than anything in life
she wishes people around
her could see,The Woman Inside,
the real and true me.

Premium Member Live For Tomorrow

Her writes are touching
They bring tears to your eyes
You can sense her fears
From the woman inside

Through the eyes of another
Saying " the time has come "
To begin the climb
Towards the sun

The other side
Under the moonlit sky
Suicide, feelings of 
The questions, why?

Please forgive me
Today's the day  
I'm finally free
No looking back for me, as I pray

It's now or never
Please remember me 
My hidden thoughts
Will set me free

I have a dream
So far away
I believe it's time
Don't cry when you say 
Goodbye


   I wonder, I remember
   Life is to short
   On reflection
   The above I abort
  
   On the wings of an angel
   I will travel one day
   But until that time
   This lost soul will stay

   Dear Lord
   Is there a heaven?
   A little precious angel says
   My family, love and faith
   Will see me through my days

Darkness

I once wished upon a star, 
I watched it all night long
Thinking about the things in life
and where it went so wrong.

Under the darkness of the sky,
it's hard to find my way,
My star, my hope is fading fast,
Wondering if I will see another day.

I wake up every morning, hoping the pain will cease,
if things keep going the way they are,
I will ask God for final peace.

                                                                COLLEEN MARIE BONO
                                                                      February 25, 2012

Hurt

My hurt that can't be seen
The pain that came
At the end of my dream

It's presense, a horrible thing
I want to let go
But it just seems to cling

It's maker, still walking around
Unaware of my worries
How hard I feel down

I need to hate
But love gets in the way
It holds my rages and makes me to 
stay

Am I the fool
That you want me to be?
It isn't cool what was done to me

What should come 
At the end of a dream?
When the star has been broken and 
ruined the theme

I will survive
But just this one thing
I'm letting go if you can't fix this 
dream

(Dedicated to Colleen Bono)

Today's the Day

Today is the day I have 
decisions to make,I 
know along with it,there
will be chances to take.

Today is the day I need
to work towards a goal,I
know it won't be easy and
I'll have to reach deep down in my soul.

Today is the day I start to
turn my life around,I can't
let people get to me and
I need to stand my ground.

Today is the day I need
to finally feel free,do
whatever it is I want to do
and be who I want to be.

Today is the day for me to
show people what I can do,
I will do it in my real way
which is loyal,honest,and true.

Today is the day I show myself
I am not scared to take a chance
and I can do anything without
taking a second glance.
