Best Hopeday Poems
With bending stem and shriveled leaf
another day of scorching sun
becomes an ache without relief-
a day where growth has been undone.
As baking earth converts to tomb
with thirsting roots, no fruit, no bloom
the end, its arid course has run.
But gathered clouds reveal a sign
of hope that death may not today
lay claim upon this life divine.
A trembled reach, a feeble sway
while droplets small and shy at first
then dazzle down in drenching burst-
delightful flood renews life's play.
Saraband Sonnet~
I am blessed and thankful for hope,
Hope that makes me not ashamed.
Hope for today, and hope for tomorrow,
Hope when all around me is drenched in sorrow.
There’ll be no night, there’ll be no morning
Without hope in my heart I know, you’re the
Heartbeat of all I do. You’re the wind beneath my
Wings. I can’t live a day without you.
I can live without many things and life still
Can go on. But to face tomorrow without hope
In my heart, life would be miserable from finish
To start, I can’t live a day without the Lord.

September 11th 2001,
Was the day that many died,
A tragic day we'll never forget,
The day our eagle cried.
When the two planes struck our towers,
And we watched them crumble to the ground,
As black smoke filled the air,
We heard the most terrifying sound.
People screaming, running for their lives,
Sirens blaring down the street,
America realized we had to unite,
"We will not take defeat".
Our uniformed angels were sent out,
To defend our Red, White and blue,
And now they live in hell everyday,
And they do it for me and you.
To all the armed forces,
Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines,
Thank you for all your bravery,
Cause no matter what tomorrow brings,
We all stand behind you,
And to all those that lost their lives,
We will never forget you either,
Or the day our eagle cried.
With the setting of the sun
Another day has been won
Deep purple and red skies blend together
Mark the memories of another day forever.
Once a long, long time ago
My days seemed so dark and forlorn
But then I realized that with the passage of each
I had but to listen to the words of a sage
With words that had been handed down through the age,
That from the beauty of the setting sun
Came the anticipation of the glorious sun-rise of another one.
Time can heal all wounds of pride and heart
Each day can bring bright rays of joy for a new start.
The beauty of the setting sun
Reminds me of another day being won.
How I love to see each day that I’m given
To know that I have striven
To bring to my heart a joy of a life lived
And the anticipation of the sun-rise of a new day given.
This day shall be in remembrance of all the lost souls.
Each one remembered proudly on every flag pole.
This day shall be in remembrance to the fire fighters and all the crews.
Who rushed in giving up their lives, knowing what they knew.
This day shall be in remembrance to each soldier who followed their course.
The Army, Navy, Marines and the Airforce.
This day shall be in remembrance to all the brave and willing strangers.
Who came together to help and comfort, not knowing the dangers.
This day shall be in remembrance to the brave policemen and women.
Who came and worked side by side with with other laymen.
This year shall be in remembrance to all the who gave to the oppressed laden with hardship.
Whether it be a stranger or simply a friendship.
This date shall be forever etched in our hearts and in history.
Let freedom reign, the eagle will soar with such gallantry.
In reverence of 9/11, I kneel to pray...
As I write this, each tear falling don't come close to all who was lost that day.
Each year passing, shall be in remembrance to the brave red, white and blue.
That we came back stronger, braver and always renewed.
I have been day dreaming about you all day
Written By Dean Masciarelli
October 6, 2010 (9:21pm)
I have been day dreaming about you all day
And I’ve been wondering if
you
may have put a spell on me
Because its been awhile since I’ve felt this way
And I know that there are plenty of fish in the sea
But I sure am glad that you started talking to me
Because you have touched my heart in a special way
And maybe if I am lucky
I’ll get to meet you some day
But I guess for the moment we will just have
to wait and see
What the good lord has in store for you and me
to find out if you and I were truly meant to be
I once had a lover who was like no other
with eyes so brown and a smile in which you could drown
for a year she had my heart so strong
then things began to go terribly wrong
A beer here, and several there,
the more she drank the less she cared
so I decided I'd play along and drink beside her
all day and all night it just didn't matter
The beautiful love we used to share
just got up one day and went somewhere
I lost the love I thought was forever
for all we did was fight and hurt each other
Then I woke up and my lover was gone
leaving me to wonder what went so wrong
we had become drunken and so mean
and the love we had could no longer be seen
Then came that fateful day
something was wrong,
I knew right away
my precious love was almost gone
I found her in the place I had once been
she needed help so I took her back in
I'm told that day that I saved her life
It wasn't me but angels on high
my prayers have been answered
I have my love back again
no more are we drunkards
as we work soberly thru the pain
So no matter how bad things might seem
we all have our angels to intervene
always remember to look up above
for God is full of undying love
He can help us through anything
drinking, depression, suicidal dances
I thank God up in Heaven
that He gives second chances
for Vawny my love
I love you, always have
always will
RAINY DAY BLUES
Today is a rainy day
It makes me sad and blue
If the sun would drive the clouds away
I'd look for something to do
But wait, I know a neighbor
Who's crippled and cannot walk
It really involves no labor
For me to visit and sit and talk
Then, of course, there's Mrs. Jones
Over on Maple Street
With arthritis in her bones
And gout swelling her feet
And how about Mr. McCord
In the local nursing home
Whose wife went to be with the Lord
And left him all alone
If I visit each of them today
To catch up on all the news
I'll be grateful that I found a way
To end my rainy day blues

Her eyes changed and hiding what is flowing over became difficult to hold back-
no longer the woman I knew before a little different, a little gone, a little bit lost-
seeing what I see as she holds her head in her hands and breaths away the tears
her smile to far and few between her laugh seldom heard but why only too often-
at first glance you see what she wants you to see what she portrays what mask she wears
going through the day as if its what we should be doing not what she dose
last to bed as the days calling brought just enough, just enough to keep from going over
as morning comes to soon her first thoughts are today will be different, knowing it won't
a smile as she avoids the mirror that would ask the questions she refuses to answer
a smile panted on as the day piles on never once would you think...how hard this is
wrapped in one of the most beautiful person I have ever known I'll steal that moment
while I grab hold of her hand sneak a kiss or just to look inside at who she hides
I see what no one sees what no one could be I see a gift, a blessing, I see love
out of love, for love , in love she is what he intended it to be
I would be selfish to call her all mine knowing the life she lives
she is...and for that we are.
To my wife and the love of my life thank you for all that you do.
Sometimes I forget
I seek reason under the cracks
of the dried grounds
that used to puddle
there I find confirmation
that I too can love
So we live in different times
you in today
I in the third world graces
yet frequently our paths kiss
and fate hints nothing
So I hold out from today
'Til the day you actually
See my love and smell
My sincerity
But in the mean time
I will sit here and gather
Jealousy, love, hate and anger
The day you touch me
With our eyes locked
And all the lights in the world
Turned on
You will see this all
And take me, with urgency
With need to fulfil
Every whim I'll ever make, quietly
Every risk taken
Will be worth the trouble
And nothing like waiting
Will be viable
Nothing this good should be
Waited upon
And like before
I will show you what I meant
When I told you
People don't get kissed
Like that to forget
I will show you what
You do to me in silence
And I will learn every thing
Memorise and try to remember
Every toss and turn
Wait until you give
So I could also learn to take
And as we lay in silence
I will assure you
That I too can also love you
In my own way and language
But I will definitely
Love you
one day here
one day will b gone
just another person
this body and soul torn
just a faded memory
one not really known
heart of what heavens
sins haunt and scorn
seen and felt
the good and bad
my sorrow justs melts
the cud beens, the had
been used, abused
torchered and revenged
manifested and fused
left the sins that fumes
whats done is done
whats said is said
the result of this
will become after deathen
Tic toc, tic toc,
Around the clock,
Over the moon,
Beyond the stars,
Through the trees,
Where flowers grow,
Where night is day and day is night,
Where children laugh,
And grown-ups dance,
Among the tombs,
Of those long since dead,
Remembering what was,
Celebrating what is now,
Looking towards the future,
The sickness is gone,
Forever gone,
No more to fear,
Freedom is here.
Ah my love
how these still Alaskan nights
feel as hollow as a dead oak
so still and so pure
as a reminder of the emptiness
and the haunting of those missed
the family left behind
and the dreams never conquered
ah my love
of all the things I would give
to have you by my side
yet only time slows us town
as time never passes
and we are stuck apart
until the sun one day rises
and never again sets
ah my love
its just me and my memories
praying for hope, warmth, compassion
but my love will not die
in this valley surrounded by mountains
for I know that when that day comes
we will be together
and all will be well
Live each day
Like it's your last
Cause you don't know
The day they say
He was a good brother
Sorry he passed.
Fall on your knees
And ask for what you need
Cause day to day
Things happen
You just can't believe
Live so you will one day
Reach his divine path
Then perhaps you'll rise
Above all the after math.
Here i go back at square one
It feel like the love we have weigh a ton
One day you need me
The next day you just flee
Flee away from me to make me down
You tell me one thing and then make me look like a clown
A clown in front of them
Why do you put me through this
When we both can end this with a kiss
If i get the strenght to go forward
You think i be writing this poem looking retarded
I know it take more than just one to make that step
I just wish i can do it now let go from this wreck
Unfourtantely its not that easy to be free
One day i will let go from you and you let go of me
I just had to get this off my chest
So i can start making that move to my best
