Best Get Up Poems

Candle, candle burning bright,
Blow it out, he wasn’t your white knight.
A new love is waiting if you give it a chance,
But you have to be willing to get up and dance.

everything's sore.
I kicked off my shoes
as I walked in the door.

Poured myself wine,
curled up in a chair.
It's a Friday night
but what do I care.

Too tired to party.
Those days have passed.
It's p.j.'s and T.V.
I'm comfy at last.

Getting old is the pits
and I needed...

Not born of fault but
purely down to chance
Each personal plight
leads troublesome dance

External factors
genes lifestyle and age
Start this desperate
denial why me stage

Physical, mental
emotional state
Well being affects
all those who relate

Sciences detect
deliver quicker
Families worry
don't want you sicker

You know your treatment
comes down to finance
Health Board decisions
can influence chance

It's a...

Get Up

The further I run into love I lose more and more of me
Seeing the water run off the rocks and not understanding the rain
Knowing that life has not aided the thoughts that I think
Endless breath can you keep a secret of do I keep...

It Was Hard To Get Up This Morning But

Picture you at a sunrise service,
A little chilled watching the sun arise,
Hear the bells calling joy to you,
A choir singing words of hope and love.

Picture the Lord risen, watching, smiling over all,
In the eyes of the loved...

Smell the coffee beans roast burning
In what is supposed to be Living 
The storms have long since past 
But its wind still blow in your ears
A souvenir chained firm on your wrist 
Leeching off the joys that once were

The sun drowns in the ocean
And with...

I turned to deadly boredom of school
My labors is addressed to dull work
Get up and stop this oppression

this is me
And this is my life
I will not do what you tell me

Stay true, that what you believe
And who does not...

Witnessing eternal beauty bewildering
Touching essence of divinity 
Twiddling thumbs...
Two weeks
Yet too weak
The two weak
Crippled and blind
Hungry and wandering witnesses
Give glory infinity
I just separate
And try to remember the clues in this day, it's like hell;
Not knowing how to honor heaven,
I want everyone to know
What do I...

What makes me get up
is the strongest coffee cup,
and the enthusiasm to live a full day:
either indoor to write, or outside to play.


Watching movies is fun, but laziness stores fat in my belly,
sitting on the coach, eating potato chips and drinking cola;
junk food won't harm...
