Best Lifes Poems
You were born in a specialist clinic
I was born at the front door of my house
we both came into this world and survived.
You’ve been eating foreign cuisines and expensive delicacies
I’ve been taking porridge and traditional soups
we both have grown and are a significant part of the society.
You go to school in Jeeps and exotic vehicles
I use public transport and finish it up with a walk
we both went to learning institutions and acquired knowledge.
You roll with the high and mighty and get a super model married
I’m surrounded by the middle class
and marries one never will be in Wikipedia
we both are active in the food chain and wonderfully living our lives.
You become a CEO or rather own a firm
I get employed by you to run your empire
we both sure need each other to function and drive.
Gold and Diamonds will decorate the casket of your funeral
mine may not even be worthy of a coffin, just a plain box
we’ll nevertheless be dead and our chapter closed without preference.
It is only a pathology when the eye gets larger than its socket,
comparison cuts the muscles of esteem and gives greed a new suit,
making simplicity a very complex attribute to attain
and a life full of complexities a better friend to existence.
Life is simple, we just make it complicated.
A civil servant wants to live at par with a tycoon
allowing his throat tie down the strength of his hands.
Every destination has different roads,
be it the highway or a rocky path.
Take the one within your speed limit,
the timing may show some reaching before or better than others
but the most important thing is, the destination reached
as achievement is decorated while life stay simple.
Life has a meaning that nobody knows, like the past and the present everything comes and goes. your life is a mark that can't be erased your problems get worse and they need to be faced. you think things over as you lie in your bed your whole life flashes in your head. where did the madness ever start why won't the pain go away in my heart you ask and you ask when will it be gone, will the hurting inside ever pass on. no one knows the answers except one God, so just live your life to the fullest and try to have fun. because then you may find a love that eventually falls apart and again there's a aching deep in your heart. once again there's that meaning that nobody knows like the past and the present everything comes and goes.
Life is wonderful and beautiful
Like the waves beating the shore
my love for you, grows and grows
with each intake of breadth.
I know you will
never leave, me always be near
sharing my sad and happy times
we walked lifes path,
now it has ended,
no more as it had been
I walk alone, yet you are near,
feel your presence, I hold no fear,
you are in my prayers and in my heart.
life was so beautiful,
so beautiful, with you

Contest : Song Lyrics.....Peter White - Lifes Path
Life will always be full of mysteries
If you are an inquisitive person
Forever searching for information
Everything referring to life and death
Science, history and biology
Murder, mayhem, magic, music and myth
You, me, them, those and other mysteries
Sun, moon, stars, satellites, sputniks and space
Typhoons, tornados, thunder and lightning
Everything in nature a mystery
Reptiles, roos, dinosaurs, fish, insects
Indigenous *****sapiens all
Evolution, religion and culture
Spectacles (Oh dear, I cannot find mine)
Each unique soul has a life purpose here.
Be still, search for your answers from within,
The secret is keeping God’s lessons near.
A divine link will help you to begin.
Seek the true path you most gravitate to.
Reiki, a sacred, ancient healing art,
My second career I’ve chosen to do.
I’m divinely inspired as I take part
Healing the ills of those people in need
To give them relief, a gift from their pain.
Divine energy flows as I succeed…
Credit goes to God again and again.
Find your purpose through a divine prayer,
Your gift for humanity you may share.

*What is Reiki? The term Reiki comes from the Japanese language meaning universal life force energy. Reiki is a natural energy that comes from God, Holy Spirit, and Jesus. It is used by practitioners and therapists who channel subtle healing through placing their hands on the body.
Reiki is a non-invasive healing technique that is applied through light touch or hands over the body to promote whole-body healing. It has been used to alleviate physical illness, disease, spiritual agitation and many other ailments. On a spiritual level, what is Reiki can be defined as the channeling of Divine Energy, which comes from a Higher Power.
Reiki practitioners do not have the power of Jesus, but we call on Jesus for help with spiritual healing. “He gives power to the faint, and to them that have no might he increases strength.” [Isaiah 40:29].
She's haunted by the what ifs,
The why's and what could have been,
She's haunted by mistakes she's made,
That shattered all her dreams.
If only she could reverse time
And go a different way,
Maybe things would be different
Sitting here today.
She knows her worries are futile,
We each have to follow Gods plan,
Lessons had to be learnt,
She had to play her hand.
She tries to live in the here and now,
Forgetting the pain and sorrow,
Enjoy each day as it is given
And live with hope for tomorrow.
I'm teetering along the edge
Of a long and deep sharp ledge
One more push and I will drop
Can someone please help me stop
The pain everyday that follows
Me into more bad tomorrows
That will not leave me alone
I would like to just be shown
What it's like to wear a smile
It has been too long a while
Since my days were filled with joy
Thinking fates out to destroy
Every ounce of happiness
Until there is nothing left
To live for and dream about
I just want to scream and shout
Take away all the dark clouds
Giving me the love allowed
That I see looking so grand
I want to hold someones hand
Feeling the soft warm rush
That makes my whole body gush
With sensations never felt
Because life has always dealt
A hand so unbearable
Days were too unlivable
For enjoying anything
My heart never got to sing
Any happy and fun tunes
Darkness and a lot of gloom
Is all I will ever feel
This world will never reveal
Any goodness night or day
I will just crawl up and stay
Tightly wrapped up in a ball
Until it's my time to fall
Into a nice peaceful slumber
My lonely life finally over
Deja Vu we're here again
This well worn path we tread
It's the one that moves in circles
Why can't we go in squares instead?
We cover ground we've trod before
But never really move
We find it hard to alter course
So we slot back in our groove.
We know this path so off by heart
We could do it in our sleep
One foot in front the other
Going round and round we keep
It's hard to climb out of our rut
Looking for escape we sigh
We wish that we could sprout some wings
From this cycle we would fly
So here we are now barely moving
And stagnant we will stay
When all the while a different path
Was just a step away.
Lessons taught on whispered song, played before we see
In the moments we now yearn, standing on the path
Found within to tag along, brought of echoed plea
Every corner, every turn, every aftermath
Signs appear as questions ask, what does this all mean
Mingling in a grand display, picture window’s glare
Yet the never ending task, smudges clear and clean
Sends our spirits on their way, hoping but to share
Till the time when all do meet, in a crowded place
Schedules fill the vast expanse, banners hanging high
Revel in this world so sweet, smiles upon our face
In your mind now take a chance, as it passes by
Everything you long to know, all that you desire
Soon before your eyes will show, mysteries inspire

Such anniversaries
I dread...
Such memories,
of remembering the dead
The lifes' path
Births ,deaths and more
knocking on my door
I must open the door,
these things must come
I cannot avoid,
part of things I have done
Things I saw
This path...
Filled with boulders
Walk round
Walk over
Take a crying shoulder
A path can never end...
Until I arrive at deaths' door
A journey strewn...
with births,deaths and more
People and things to mend
People I will see soon
So many times I lost my way
Yet, the path always found
Family and friends , rally round
I walk another day
The people I know
who have gone on before
Were here today,
on the path
They showed me the way
They too,were on the path
Births,deaths and more
They took part
This is true.
on my path
They were meant too
Letting me see,
the things I saw
One day....
Soon...
I will be on a path,
helping others
who have not gone on before
I will show the way,
through an open door
Lighting the way too
Difficult it becomes, the secret of
the judgement and metamorphosis of
the painted cotton into a stained truth.
To save the present tense. A dangerous
crowd of vowels to express the incomplete
moment of watery teeth,
so hung, while misspeaking painfully
in dyslexic manneo. I would not
understand the hour-glass proxy.
An undersized leash to walk
with a giant: the magnitude of tragedy
overwhelms the path !
SATISH VERMA
Life’s not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away!
don’t be willing to settle for the person you can live with...be willing to wait for the person you can’t live without!!

R.I.P. "Gracie"
Grandparents old of grandparents new,
The unique joy that you are bringing true.
Fairy tale's told in the rosy past,
My first granddaughters are here at last.
Fishing trips and ice cream cones,
Lullaby songs until we doze.
Stories told upon cozy laps,
Sunny walks on shaded paths.
Butterfly kisses and big bear hugs,
Truly grandparents is another word for love.
~Great Books~
(Life's Refrain)
Great books
Awesome to read
Teach a lot many looks
My soul they feed
Great books
They bring
Fun, go places
Keep brain sharp, a good thing
Lots of phrases
They bring
Book stores
They help us grow
Book knowledge open doors
Great seeds they sow
Book stores.

~Author's Notes:
The " Life's Refrain " is a poetry form or style created by Erich J. Goller.
As our life’s go on, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, and no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all; live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
