Best Deep Down You Know Poems
You cannot articulate in words
To the one that is glancing from the outside
The total chaos on the inside
Because on the outside you wear a smile
Of order and calm
In silence you mull over
The I “wishes”
And the I “could haves”
Even though deep down you know
That is burnt ash
That it will never come to live again
But it is the only thing that keeps you going
For now
At times the in between moments
Are the ones that take your breath away
Because they happen unplanned
Those tender moments of joy
You know you can have again
So this is not you throwing in the towel
This is you at rest
Preparing yourself for the next step
Because when you eventually get through
All the chaos
You will smile with your soul
Love God with all your heart
with all your soul and all your might
Give generously; always do your part
Deep down, you know what's right
And love your neighbor as yourself
Be his best friend if you can
Treat him like your favorite brother
~ That you've met is in God's plan

You say I don't understand
You think what you said was pure gold and that I don't understand
Damn right I don't understand!
I don't understand how you can be so closed minded
Though on outer-look, from the perspective of a half-wit, you are far sighted
You utter gibberish from your hole and you think you're right
Deep down you know you're already wrong but oh pity! you still fight
You fight thinking I could be right never knowing being wrong is alright
Ohhh yes! ohhh yes! Being wrong is alright! In fact it is humbling and delight!
You keep going this way my friend and your destiny is real far
You can't afford to be wrong because you already can't accept yourself for who you are!
I don't get how anybody cannot accept themselves for who they are!?
So,
You say I don't understand
You think what you said was pure gold and that I don't understand
Damn right I don't understand!!!
Wheelie bins know what you’re thinking
Deep down you know it’s true
They know just what you did last night
And they are judging you
And if you think you see them smirk
When you are walking past
It’s probably not the first time
And it will not be the last
Wheelie bins know everything
Much more than you’d suspect
For they grew wisdom from the pain
And betrayal of your neglect
They did not sit there helpless
When you moved in for the kill
They met up with their comrades
And learned transferrable skills
In the depths of all our gardens
They huddled, gaining strength
From knowledge and camaraderie
They learned woodwork and French
So if you think they are mocking you
With their skills in carpentry
Elles parlent français, mon ami,
Ces poubelles de wheelie
Wheelie bins know what you’re thinking
They know just what you’ve done
So do not cross a wheelie bin
For their time has finally come
You’ll find them down the garden
Happy within themselves
Reading Jean Paul Sartre
And knocking up some shelves
It's a hard pill to swallow knowing that something
you worked and fought so hard for is just a lost cause
and you can't put life on pause, all you can do is wonder
and think what a fool you are
now there's a handful of people who think they can change
who their significant other is or who they used to be
love is blind and when you in love and want someone so bad
it's kind hard to see the light and everybody goes threw the b.s
but you try your best to make things right and you began to wonder
he or she isn't even trying despite the fact how far y'all came
they say their completely honest with but deep down you know their lying
and when you make time for them and they don't make time for you
tell me what do you do, what do you do when you think
every time you try to reach out to your mate the devils laughing in your face
and you finally realize all the time you spent trying to be the best man
she was never trying to be the best woman
you see you were looking for love but only found heartache in your left bosom
she was looking for a sex partner and thats whats real, but
behind this reflection in the mirror now after adding your relationship
up from it's ups and downs it get to be and seem so much clearer
she could never be the woman who you see yourself marrying
fact of the matter is she's just the woman with your child she's carrying
and the signs were there in the beginning that she was swimming in lust
and ashes to ashes dust to dust thats what the end of this relationship
was made up of, a relationship that never should have started
and now all you're left with is a broken heart thats dearly departed
and a mind thats critically injured and all you can say is, its my fault
sometimes we have faith in something thats nothing
something thats not there, one living in despair and another
just too in love to admit that despite of what her lifestyle has
always been like he's always forgive and forget, but in the end
it was his heart that was gonna be a homicidal casualty, but
thats just life I suppose and I'm just facing reality
Between birth and death, is the lifedream most lead
when two parents soweed that loving seed
their elders cautions, they took no heed
a baby was born on umbilical lead.
A Mum to nurture, a Dad to protect
from their love was borne this project
a golden nugget, with love they did prospect.
But, so many people seem to think
after life, it's all down the sink
maybe why they live on the brink?
When you die, over, that's it
ooh, what a crock of...summit!
I've got a few things to say on it,
Walk through the door, there's so much more
make that wall take a fall
the things we all could be
lift societies veil on Reality
you are you, but also me!
Other side of this curtain, wait and see
it really is something else, all so differently.
Why is it hidden when we are alive?
when earthly bodies still survive,
we only see one side of the ride
the rest only appears, once you have died!
But it's not the end, just something else
many other life stories, yet to tell
when the soul and fresh body does gell
a new tale to yell
I'm so glad that wall, it fell.
Putting on my brand new skin
my old lives ashes in the bin
so much of life remains unseen
a lifetime of unconscious dream
the power is within you
deep down, you know it's true
there's Absolutely, nothing you can't do!!
The varied planes of existence
separated by a virtual distance
by what some deem, Realities curtains
But, Everything IS, of that i'm certain!!

Written for the Life and Death....and in between contest
by Mr.John-Ovan.P.Hull
You can be the voice for the voiceless
You can be the beating of a soundless drum
You can be the comfort for those in need
But deep down you know
You are you
In the quietness of a hurried day
In the moments of being on your own
Whose heart do you hear?
That echo
The contrite pulling in your chest
You can't breathe for your neighbour
You can't walk in your friend's shoes
You can walk a mile with them
You can even help them carry their load
But be conscious of your worth
Don't become a stranger to yourself
In your aim to assist
Don't lose your core
In your quest to do good
You have to go home at times
You have to look in the mirror at times
Be in love with you
You will add more value to life
In that way

THIS IS NOT A HAPPY POEM, I JUST THOUGHT TO BREAK ALL THE RULES AND TO WRITE SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT NEW YEAR.
We take yesterday and we threw it away ,and I ask you if your fine or doing okay
But in fact I know that your hurting...
And here I go again, leaving you with pain, I have you to blame , I'm driving you insane
But only cause I want you to start learning...
A new year came washing away yesterday
But do you think that it will wash away every painful word you did say ?
Do you think that today is different from the last ?
Did you thought that a new day will delete the past ?
It's a new day to you but I don't feel the same
For me it will always be the same old pain
Do you think that 24 hours will bring me the joy ?
Do you think that three words will make me become your toy ?
How do you want me to forget when it's written on my flesh...
How can you make my pain vanquish ?
So we take yesterday and we threw it away, and you ask me if I'm fine or doing okay
But deep down you know that I'm hurting
And here you go again, leaving me with pain, you put on me the blame, your driving me insane
But I promise you to start learning
I have no heart any longer because of you
If you think that it's a happy new year then it's only for you
For me it will always be the old year that I use to get hurt
When you turned my heart to pieces and wiped it in the dirt
So happy new year my love I hope you celebrate
And happy new year for me cause I'll start it with hate
Happy new year for the lie, for the cheating
Happy new year for the heart that stopped beating
Happy new year for all the wounds that is open
Happy new year for the heart that is broken
So you take yesterday, hopping to threw it away, then you come to stay, asking if I was or I am doing Okay
Well I promise you to make your heart burning
And here you come again, to cause me another pain, to make me take the blame, your driving me out of my brain
But babe, it's your turn now to get all the hurting
4/1/17
Flowers blooming
Spaced out or in a tight-knit grouping
All around things looming
In space objects still or moving and zooming
Birds pluming
And other animals grooming
Downloads queueing
Electronics in need of a rebooting
Or powering off, to enable cooling
Below, on and above the roofing
Toxins spewing
And other particulates polluting
Some of which are made for fueling
All weeds were removed by uprooting
Trees and bushes getting a pruning
Especially any areas that are drooping
There's just no excusing
You'd better stop snooping
And assuming
As well as tooting your horn
Or ridiculing the poor
What the hell are you fooling for
When deep down, you know you could be doing more
Ocean life caught by fishing poles, harpooning
Or cage using
Die hard fans rooting
Or booing
Times of booming
And continual losing
Certain insects and people cocooning
Humans continually feuding
Suing
And fuming
As if there is something they want to be proving
Major scale jobs, including
A lot of or very specific tooling
Drugs and alcohol others may be using
And possibly abusing
In the right conditions, water pooling
Near and far from any rocks protruding
Live a life of your choosing
Continue pursuing
Knowledge, and ways of improving
With or without musing

My love, My love
you are there, I am here.
So many Obstacles, so many challenges, but our love still remains strong.
Time grows shorted, it grows critical,
My heart yearns for you.
My love, my love.
I will not sleep, I will not eat,
until we are in each others embrace.
Two Hearts, one beat, two destinies intertwined.
Our love continues to grow.
I all I want is you, no one else.
My love, my love.
I will protect you, even if it costs me my last breath
My love, my love.
All i need is you and only you.
I want to glance into those beautiful Blue eyes.
I never believed in true love, until I met you.
Deep down you know this too.
My love, my love.
You are my one and only True Love.
Lisa, the day I hear you say "I Do" will be the most joyous day of my life,
My love, my love!
How Does it feel?
Being without you is like a wound that won't stop bleeding
An infectious yearning wanting & NEEDING
Like a band aid being ripped off without any warning
Like last call on Sunday night at 2 in the morning
Like a hollow hole in the ground that's infinite
Like wearing out your "good" sweats that no longer fit
Like your boss yapping on and on endlessly
Like a stubborn lock that won't open without its key
Like a Hail Mary pass with the game on the line
Like a dying friend who's running out of time
It's like when there's no toilet paper left when u already sat down
Like when everyone says "cheer up" when all u wanna do is frown
It's like BAD days when nothing ever goes right
It's feeling for your side of the bed every night
It's the projects you just haven't gotten to just yet
It's the taste of their lips that you will NEVER quitE
Forget
It's the mile long weekly to do list
It's like blowing out the candles but never getting your wish
It's like trying to stay as busy as possible with this or that
It's the CONSTANT feeling of this monkey on your back
It's like a criminal holding you against your will
It's the empty space in my heart that ONLY real love can fulfill
It's your part time job weather you want it or not
It's being wrapped in your arms and KNOWING what I got
It's the dreams of "Someday" that you cling to for dear life
It's the fantasy of becoming your future wife
It's that one mistake that your ashamed of and deeply regret
It's hoping you FEEL how much I LOVE u and that you never will forget
It's constant missing holidays and seasonal smiles
It's feeling your here within my heart despite thousands of miles
It's a deserted beach dark and desolite beneath the oceans tide
It's believing we are special and just going with the VIBES
It's the last scoop of your favorite ice cream
It's waking up sweating from the same creepy dream
It's a soul crushing NEED to feel you and hold you tight
It's like apologizing when deep down you Know your right
It's the eye of the storm just have to grab on and hold tight
It's tenacity and NEVER giving up without a FIGHT
It's pitch black darkness when u forgot a flashlight
It's the CERTAINTY when you KNOW you have FINALLY found your MR RIGHT
ITS seeing it al come to fruition and leading TOGETHER a HAPPY life
Since we were young
hes always been the one
the families all seen it
hes ur favorite son
he can go to rehab
and get in trouble to
he can do what he wants
but thats okay with you
im sorry im not his daughter
im sorry you hate me so much
im sorry im not perfect
i rather not keep in touch
although u may deny it
deep down you know its true
everyone else sees it
why can't you see it to
i didn't mean to take advantage
im depressed all the time
although you may not see it
faking a smile is my crime
of all the *****i've been thru
and all the *****you have done
i thought that you would be there
but no your there for your son
if i could have a wish
him i would come from
cause maybe then you would love me
and i wouldn't feel so dumb
you may read this note
and you probably will get mad
but now you know my pain
and you would know my heart is sad
all i wanted was for your love
and your blessing to
but theres not enough room for me
cause hes your favorite son its true
so im erasing you from my life
im going to try to move on
cause this pain i feel is real
and i just want it gone
so farewell to you mother
i hope you have a great life
i hope your man is the one
maybe you'll be his wife
but your just a distant memory
a shadow from the past
was it all worth it
the hatred spell you cast
although i shed my tears
i wipe them away with sorrow
maybe i'll be someones favorite
i hope for a better tomorrow
Remember, dancing with the devil
In life will take it's toll
For, dancing with the devil
In the end will take your soul
Many who have done it
Reached the top only to die
Many souls we thought in heaven
Could never get that high
The Forever 27 club
playing in the band
Janis, Jim and Jimi
In hell, oh....ain't it grand
We thought them all as angels
But, the truth it rings a bell
They were dancing with the devil
And they ended up in hell
Cobain and Amy Winehouse
Oh yeah, they're down there too
Brian Jones and others
Playing hard rock and the blues
Sell your soul to Satan
Where you go...you do not choose
If you spend time with the devil
It's nothing but bad news
Remember, dancing with the devil
In life will take it's toll
For, dancing with the devil
In the end will take your soul
Many who have done it
Reached the top only to die
Many souls we thought in heaven
Could never get that high
There's others there who did the dance
Hit the crossroads, sold their soul
Drugs and drink and suicide
That's how this devil rolls
Some may get redemption
For the things they do in life
they sold out with their talent
They were dancing on a knife
The band is hot, and so's the place
They play here every night
We wish they were in heaven
But, deep down you know I'm right
Elvis, yes, the king is here
He did drugs and did the dance
Now, he's singing for the devil
He never had a chance
Remember, dancing with the devil
In life will take it's toll
For, dancing with the devil
In the end will take your soul
Many who have done it
Reached the top only to die
Many souls we thought in heaven
Could never get that high
So many tortured people
So many who did wrong
They traded with the devil
For the price of just a song
Rock and Roll in heaven
Has a great band, just the same
But, with Janis, Jim and Jimi here
They just don't have the game.
I know that i don't know you,
as well as i would like,
but we have an everlasting bond,
that could help us through the night,
i know you get afraid and run,
i use to be the same,
but i'm so tired of giving in,
on life's most hardest game,
and you can deny my existence,
but deep down you know i'm here,
we can help each other out,
and over come this fear,
no one likes to be alone,
as much as we believe,
and fair enough it might be tough,
but this we need to keep.
I know i'm dragging on,
and you might not want to read,
but the truth is that i need you,
especially through this grief,
i'd just love to get to know you,
so to you this i will send,
because laura you're my sister,
and hopefully one day you'll be my friend.
deep down you know you have been wronged
but you did what should have been done
they don't know the whole story
they don't know your side
but you no longer care,you clearly understand those emotions they hide
they say they understand,but they don't
they say they will support but they won't
you are alone,all on your own
you no longer believe the fake love they have shown
believe in yourself,you aren't weak
you have strength,that's all you seak
admit it they aren't essential
admit it,they won't let you live upto your true potential
they will pull you down,won't let you rise
let them go,leave them behind
you have always been better of them
so,now be a lion,be the one that can't be tamed....
