Best Life Goes On Poems
Turning point
embraced by sadness
tears roll down unnoticed
decisions made
engulfed by fear
internal pain
dying slowly
ongoing agony
hearts broken
lives ruined
smile despite the pain
life goes on
tomorrow is another day...
Why living in darkness,
If you have the shine at your side?
What is this rag for?
this cloak of sadness
You have the wonderful cape.
of joy at your disposal?
Why do you live crying
final tears,
if life carries on,
liquid and flowing?
Why do you create obstacles
and walls, if any stronghold
impregnable is simple
house of cards, which with
a brief but strong breath
falls to the ground ...?
Why Fear oldness
and the decay of the body,
if we are spirits?
Why Fear Death
and the blackout of existence
if nothing expires or vanishes...?
Do not you have perception
that spirit continues?
First it was seizures
And then I was blind
Sight was returned
And then I was fine.
Then came the cancer
But I was not afraid
Just a little annoying
Then life was repaid.
A life threatening event
The doctors said no way
In my determined mind
I said I’m here to stay.
A cat has nine lives
I think humans do too
I’ve used three of mine
Four more I am due.
The wood that built the place I see
Came from a forests far away
It's age is hard to guess
But every knot knows life's quest
By the looks of it I'd say
It is pine
Can it trace it's life
Back to creation time
Was it singed by the commet
That once came to land
And was responsible for the end
Of the dinosaur clan?
Did it survive the great flood
While Noah and the animals patiently bobbed along
And Finally came to earth
With a Hallulia song
Or was it a seed that traveled along
As the ice age swept the land
And managed to plant itself
On a very distant plain
For centuries it did survive
It's young gathered round
Until that fatel day
A man with a saw, hapt to pass it's way
It's life as it had known it
Was never more
It'd been turned into a barn
For animals and chores
It's life finally met defeat
And for a century or so
Was once again subject to
The winds, the rain, the snow
When I finally found it
It was then I did know
This disheveled structure
Could heal my heart and soul
I bought it and with loving care
With every board I did share
The love and memories of my years
And blessed them all with precious tears
And now we sit and share the years
These boards of pine and me
And know that it was fate itself
That set our souls free
intermittant storms
rage in the sky and my heart
my unshed tears burn
in spite of my grief
the sun shines and life goes on
Mom got up early and is in the kitchen
Preparing the breakfast for everyone
Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving
And the beat of life goes on
The kids are busy getting set for school
One is still trying to get homework done
The others are taking things really cool
And the beat of life goes on
Now all sit around the breakfast table
To fuel themselves for the day's action
Each consumes what he or she is able
And the beat of life goes on
Dad leaves the home for his workplace early
Mom patiently checks the kids one by one
To ensure that for school each is ready
And the beat of life goes on
Dad is at work earning his salary
Kids are at school getting education
Mom is at home with some chores she's busy
And the beat of life goes on
It's suppertime now for the family
And it's filled with lively conversation
Each one partakes of the meal heartily
And the beat of life goes on
After supper, mom tidies the kitchen
Then joins the rest watching television
Later, for next day each starts preparing
And the beat of life goes on
The kids get busy with their assignment
Mom and Dad continue to linger on
They chat a bit about now the day went
And the beat of life goes on
Then finally they all head off to bed
For much needed sleep and relaxation
To refresh each for the new day ahead
And the beat of life goes on
-------------------------------
Mom got up early and is in the kitchen
Preparing the breakfast for everyone
Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving
And the beat of life goes on
Darker green, even darker clouds
Misty velvet the summer shrouds
And the suns kiss a sweet au revoir
Golds and browns now sit the hour
Cooler winds and falling leaves
Stubble fields and swaying trees
The cattle's slow and heavy gait
The squirrel stores for winters fate
Arthritic joints they warn of cold
The Holly shows its berries bold
And to the frost the Robin sings
As the Ravens caw reality brings
From the north clouds will come
Merciless, and death for some
Boots and wellies at the door
Life goes on as before
As the sunrise wake me up
You awake my heart attack
And again can only hurt
And no where is where to hide
As the blood is staying warm
All my love resembles dram
You the actress and Tiran
All I feel is love and pain
As still tears can come from eyes
I will try to catch my chance
I will try unfroze your heart
Will retry to reach your light
As the world is staying round
I will hope to understand
I will search the only path
Which will lead me to success
As I feel the breath of night
And you live in weaken heart
I will pray and ask my God
To conquer you and surround
Something must die
So we can live.
Weither from the sky,
Or the ground,
Or from a watery place.
From a field,
From a tree,
Something must die
For you and me.
I know that chocking feeling of redundancy
Like your calamities were always inevitable,
Life its self simply shunned your existence
Reduced you to nothing, but squalor
As the world wipes its feet
On what used to be you face.
I know how it feels to be trapped
In an endless cyclone called stress
Where worries and joys swap lanes
And you left drowning in your pool of blood
Because mother earth left one miss call for you:
“Didn’t you hear, I do not care”.
There comes a time in every ones life, when
the road your on seems to lead to a dead end
Or maybe it's just rocky, and full of holes and
the direction you have chosen didn't seem right then
No matter which way you turn, its harder to see
and you fear of running into a cement pillar
Or maybe your just afraid to turn away from your destructive
direction because some fear to leave what feels familiar
No-matter what the case is in your life there
is one thing for sure
That once you have let God in your heart there
is nothing in life you cant endure
Althought you feel he is not there sometimes,
because he allows us to go through some pain
He doesn't look upon us by what little or greater
things we do because he loves us all the same
So when you feel like you've come to the end
of your road, and all options are gone
Remember, sometimes we have to go through the pain
to learn that life goes on
The sun is up, another morning’s come--
The coffee’s brewed, the eggs and bacon fried,
The sky is bright, the birds are frolicsome—
On such a day, what sorrow could betide?
And yet this cheery masquerade today
Is, by my very reticence, belied,
As if I’m in some strange, absurdist play:
It all has seemed so pointless since you died.
And now I only want to grieve and hide,
Yet still, I know to do so’s a mistake—
I swore to you to go on, to abide,
And that’s a solemn promise I can’t break.
And so, my love, this further vow I’ll make:
That I’ll go on with living -- for your sake.

Poet's Note : OK this is only my third Poem, so Please
give Your Advise it is muchly Appreciated I want to know;
I'm going to put this under the Form : Rhyme : My second
choice was Free Verse; Respectfully, kenny , A Fledgling POET
I used to have a friend in which was my best friend.
But now I look at them and all I see is a stranger.
I always wondered what our lives would be like if we'd stayed friends.
But I never suspected that we'd grow so far apart.
I once believed that we were going to be friends for eternity.
But now I've realize that everything happens for a reason.
If I could turn back time, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I would go back to where we were closer then ever.
I never thought I'd see the day me and them could walk past one another
without acknowledging the others presence.
But I might have to face the fact that we've moved on from each other.
I can't help but wish that we might speak again someday.
But I can only dream for that day to come.
I won't sit around and dwell on the past.
But I might focus on moving along with my life.
I used to know someone that meant the world to me.
But now I look at them and smile at the memory.
No, I cannot remember the moment life began for me in my mother’s womb: You know, a brand new creation after leaving my father to stick to my mother for nine months, like would never happen again.
Neither can I remember when I traveled the birth canal to enter the world that awaited my presence. Actually, they were the wrong hands that I entered: the very ones that disconnected me from my mother and slapped me on the bottoms to hear me say what was on my mind, just for that moment!
I do believe most of us have been there.
Well, here’s a bit more that we can agree on:
From there, life goes on….
