Best Like There Is No Tomorrow Poems
Candlelight burns in this quiet space
I imagine the smile, glowing on your face
I feel you are here, from many miles away
As the sun has returned to brighten the day
Kiss me like there is no tomorrow
Let’s share love to eliminate sorrow
Let’s hold each other in the golden light
That shines upon us, flickering so bright
I’ve learned you know who I am, what I feel
Our connection of strength, forever real
I know your wishes, I hope will come true
Swirling like clouds in these skies of blue
When night returns, after the sun says goodbye,
I will kiss you goodnight, igniting dreams to fly

Death is but life and life is death, I wonder,
Where does the spirit go when it's released?
Many beliefs have a different thought,
The body is just breathing that has ceased.
We wonder how many years we have left,
We live them like there is no tomorrow,
We dance in sunshine and run from thunder,
Death is but life and life is death, I wonder.
Everyone has their own personal sins,
Hiding in a closet they built of fear,
All have free will to have them unleashed,
Where does this spirit go when it's released?
So many religions do not agree,
The true path to God is forever sought,
I choose to chase spirituality,
Many beliefs have a different thought.
We all have struggles way down deep inside,
With cracks and holes and roads that have now creased,
Believer, atheist, agnostic, all.
The body is just breathing that has ceased.
All you've done is done, no reason to cry,
There is much more as far as I can see,
Did you once try to help humanity?
Is this your blown up personality?
Death is but life.
Baby I will keep you close to my heart today
As I make my way through another day
I pray for our love to climb to new heights
Our dreams come to life night after night
When we wake to see and feel
Our love that burns so bright
A life that is filled with so much promise
One that is homemade designed to astonish
A love between a king and his queen
For I do not believe the world has ever seen
Amazing love that is forever filling
One that springs above all things
That promises to be all that we can dream
This is what we can expect the good lord sings
As he shines his love so bright
When our hearts overexcite hi like a kite
As we take this walk to be closer to God
Might we keep sight of what keeps us upright
So that it will be easy to ignite
All this love that invites our souls out to play
When we believe in our Lord and savior
Who makes everything possible we see
Want our love to grow up to be
All the pieces of our dream
That start to fall right in line
The night is young and you're so fine
I think I will keep you as all mine
You brighten our path so we might see new life
Won't you promise to become my wife?
Nothing has ever felt this right
Let's ride this wave out of sight
When our love grows wings and takes flight
We both know how love is supposed to flow
even if we have to go slow
I will love you like there is no tomorrow
In our old age reminiscing
Of moonlight and midnight kissing
We'll talk of today’s sweet memories
Beneath gnarled branches of our favourite tree
Recalling the cuddles and the dancing
Of moonlight and midnight romancing,
Those memories are imprinted on my mind
In my heart its midnight all the time.
Velvet blue sky with diamond like stars
No on can explain a love like ours
Time passes like there is no tomorrow
Midnight dreams can cause us sorrow
Reminding us of days gone past
Of hopes and dreams that didn’t last
True love has kept our spirits free
Together forever for eternity
Though the darkest hour can sometimes disappoint
Midnight can also inspire and rock the joint
Encouraging romantic couples to dance and sing
Face up to everything that life can bring
Yes, we'll dance in that midnight rain
Twist and shout and then twist again
In the certain knowledge that one day soon
We'll share a midnight honeymoon

A Great Loss
You have a great loss that
Seems to bring you down
I am sorry it hurt so much
And I couldn’t be around
I know that he loved you
No matter what the cost
It’s been a long ride
And I am sorry for your loss
He took a great part with him
The morning he slipped away
Joy will return to your life
This I always pray
When you fall asleep at night
His visions fill your head
And tears flow silently
As you lay there in your bed
It’s a sad time for you as
You think on this great loss
Remember Jesus feels your pain
The day he paid the cost
I know you feel empty
Like there is no tomorrow
I will help you bear your pain
And help you share your sorrow
Tomorrow is a new day
It shines bright as the stars above
Remember the joy he gave you
And never forget his love
Jesus love will always cover you
Like a winter’s frost
Take care my dear friend
And I'm sorry for your loss
Lookin' back now to where I've been
I've walked beside the "infamous" to the bloody end
I seen the criminal commit the crime
I did my share and did my time
I led Satan's people straight to the gates of hell
I fed off the scum at the bottom of the well
Just to be awaken in reality's grip drenched in sweat
Yet I can't honestly say that I have a single regret
I made it from the depths of despair to what some may call the top of the world
I've been everything from the "low-life" to the lost girl
Yet I had to walk the line
Decide which path to leave behind
They say there is no hope for the one smokin' dope
I beg to disagree
What about me
In life it be not about what you've done
People care not where you're from
Can't live by what you once were
Can't hide behind fear of what may occur
Release the sorrow
Live like there is no tomorrow
Stand up for your destiny
It takes more than the truth to set you free
"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces,
I would still plant my apple tree . . ." Quote - Martin Luther
_____________________
I have died twice,
sorry, I should be more precise;
I have twice knocked on the gate up above.
but was sent home with love.
It seems this girl still has things to do in this world,
so back to earthly living- with wings unfurled;
knowing this life is gnarled,
and today- must suffice.
Yes, today is mine,
for my tomorrow may not twine;
I have known often the sorrow- of death,
waited, weeping for a breath.
Have loved my beloved like there is no tomorrow,
and been left in today- holding only sorrow;
somehow, finding strength to borrow,
waiting for- a sign.
So, I live moments,
for in life there are no agreements;
if tomorrow does not arrive for me,
it is 'cause there was no guarantee.
Oh yes, "What if there was no tomorrow?" You wrote,
well, my answer is- that in today I will float;
setting sail for my true north in a boat,
cherishing - life's fragments.

TODAY is here, do not look back for yesterday
Yesterday is gone
Today do not wait for tomorrow
Today is a last opportunity
For tomorrow ,a today will be gone
Tomorrow a new sun will rise
Leaving today behind
Take each treasured moment today
Live it to the fullest
Knowing it will only last today
For tomorrow, it will be in the past
Live each hour, each minute, each second
Because it will not come again
Today live life like there is no tomorrow
Because sometimes tomorrow never comes
It feels good to scream.
Too shout to the top of your lungs,
with all your might,
with all your pain,
with all your air,
that fills your black lungs
damaged by years of cigarette smoke,
to feel your dieaphram expand
to feel your chest expand,
to feel your heart skip a couple beats,
thump. thump. thump.
Put you face to the pillow
breath in. Let it all come out.
Let
it
all
come
out!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Feel the lunatic release from your head
free the demons from your soul.
Let
it
all
out!!!
Scream like there is no tomorrow,
feel the pain go away.
It feels good to scream,
to get it all out.
Then light a cigarette,
breath in
drink whiskey,
red wine,
sit at a hunched over position,
at a typewriter
and scream with words on paper
and go down and get your screams published.
Then everyone can read, and hear your screams
and not just your neighbors.
Let
it
all
out!!
It feels good! Trust me. It feels good.
It feels good to let it all out,
let it out,
don't deny yourself freedom
let it all go,
free yourself,
free your tourmented soul,
fill your cancer filled, black lungs
expand your chest,
crack your sternum
and feel the pain go.
Let it all go.
Let
it
all
out!!
It feels good to scream!
In the midst of midnight twilight
Silence gently fades in a cascade
Warm wist embrace of a blazing sun
Tension burst in darken moment made afraid
Roaring voices sounds of thunder
Epic heartbeat tsunami waves break away
Swelling sated of explosion love
Warm cinders soothes the budding moment ray
Tranquil dreams of sorrow
Love like there is no tomorrow

Free west Papua
There is a quite genocide
Is hidden from the view
Is rare on our popular media
Is like no help for this people
As they are been slaughtered
Like there is no tomorrow
Oh free west Papua
As you a human
So they are too
Love we need not war
Free west Papua
The killing is high
Some where in Asia
Blacks as we are called
Our life in west Papua
Right in Indonesia
Means less than a human
Yet
Is hidden from the view
Is rare on our popular media
Is like no help for this people
As they are been slaughtered
Like there is no tomorrow
Oh free west Papua
As you a human
So they are too
Love we need not war
Free west Papua
There is a man I don't know his name
There is a woman I don't know her
Name
There is a boys and girls even kids
There name I don't know
In west Papua
They lay to rest in peace
As no voice voice not
About the curse of there death
It still on even till now
As human minus is like
A trend from hate over there
Oh is a shame
yet
Is hidden from our view
Is rare on our popular media
Is like no help for this people
As they are been slaughtered
Like there is no tomorrow
Oh free west Papua
As you a human
So they are too
Love we need not war
Free west Papua
I meet a refugee family
from west
Papua
There grief makes me ask
What happen to the heart of
Men in this beautiful planet
We are all human yet in west
Papua souls rot to dead by hate
Still yet and yet this calamity
Is hidden from our view
Is rare on our popular media
Is like no help for this people
As they are been slaughtered
Like there is no tomorrow
Oh free west Papua
As you a human
So they are too
Love we need not war
Tribute to the lost victims of west
Papua

Cold winter has frozen my senses,
I can’t feel anything but emptiness,
You left and I can only feel pain or less,
You come to my dreams and we make passionate love,
We kiss like there is no tomorrow,
We touch like we haven’t been touched before,
We whisper love, amore, ljubov,
We cry because dawn has come,
You left me broken,
You left and my hart has stop for a moment that still lasts,
You left and my soul has frozen,
But every cell of my body still feels you insight,
Every part of my broken hart, still pulse you name:
Love, amore, ljubov!
I’m So Lucky
By
Kevin L Fairbrother
Been working with a mate, building a deck round a pool
40 square plus and made of treated pine timber
Big job for me for I am pushing 70 but me mate
Well he is doing it tough and he is not yet 50
…
He has a cruel inherited affliction and disease
Which makes his life a living breathing hell
Chronic Arthritis and Alzheimer’s combined
Makes him feel like 100, 99% of the time
…
He tries his best to cope and be useful
But he is frustrated and angry all the time
I make allowances and encourage him
Whatever help he chooses is fine with me
…
I sneak glances when I hear swearing and cursing
I know me mate has forgotten what to do
He comes back and asks, what did you want
The poor bugger can’t remember what I said just minutes ago
…
Down the track for me mate will be a living hell
For his future unknown and his life will be cut short
Living with pain and bent nearly double
His days are frustrating to say the least
…
His family and friends they all support him
But there is only so much that anyone can do
I help him by making time to have a yarn
For every bit helps and it will ease his mind
…
He talks of having to depend on everyone
That’s alright mate it helps you stay alive
But what about down the track when I’m bedridden
And my mind has gone and I can’t function
…
I know its hard Mate! But we will cross that bridge later
And when it happens mate fore-sure you won’t be alone
We will rally around you and your family and support you
Meanwhile I suggest you live your life like there is no tomorrow
I’m so lucky
This Thing Called Life'
This thing called life, today's tomorrows,
cheating Father time, we beg and we borrow,
for one more day to feel the sun upon our face,
knowing borrowed time,, we can never replace.
We position ourselves as the cream of the crop,
this thing called life, we know ultimately, will stop.
In the blink of an eye, we no longer exist,
this thing called life, we should never resist.
Man has pondered their plans that recede,
yet deep in their soul, they'd only deceive,
all those around them, but not Father Time,
So, live today, like there is no tomorrow,
'This Thing Called Life.....
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The entire world is filled with sorrow . Laborious days like there is no tomorrow.
The number of infections increasing daily
Affecting any person _which occurs rapidly
Everyone is commanded to be indoors
In maintainance of its disperse .
Hence it spreads on a way that is negative ;
Like a tropical cyclone ,it is disruptive.
The world is in pain
As the virus grips souls ,there is a stain.
Hence it was not anticipated.
Dear God , Do good to thy world .
What we can do for such thing ?.
As our days are now disgusting,
Causing mental disturbance
Which occurs as slow surviving silence.
Let's be optimistic
Rather than being pessimistic.
Yes it can't end within a blink of an eye;
A vivacious day shall come _to overcome.
Again ,let's have hope
Rather than to mope .
We shall prosper
We shall conquer.
