Best Love Sick Poems
He loved his grandpa with all his heart
All the hugs in the world
Could not heal him
How we dreaded the time when
Memories would be all that’s left

Kill the Silent One
(Silent Killer)
He has invaded, unseen
Lurking and silent
Evil destroying one and all
From cell to cell
Crawling underneath
Leaching blood and soul
Smiles are murdered
Futures destroyed
Families ruined
The silent one is a killer
Who must be killed
The order has been given
Command centre now on full alert
Maps perused and studied
Strategies contemplated
The invasion...........
Will be at early dawn
Men prepare their battle gear
The landing party both excited and nervous
Life depends on them
Ones death also looms
They have no guilt
No fear
For whom shall be killed
The silent one's days are numbered
Victory is their only option and concern
War has been declared
And
We shall overcome
The silent one
The dawn is approaching
The men kit up in their uniforms
Preparing equipment, double checking their instruments
They march forth ready to do to battle
At dawn, as the brightness above shines down upon them
They enter the theater of operations
Weapons ready
Doctors in full dress
Scrub nurses ready for action
Technicians monitoring vital signs
The battle has begun
More saline, clamps, increase IV, Scalpels
Blood stains the heroes of the moment
The end, a silence, a satisfaction, a tear
This patient can be declared
Cancer free
The silent one was murdered
Cancer removed
Life restored
Family rejoices
Tears and kisses
This battle won
Love Sick
And the way she says "I want you babe"
And I know that it's true
And every time she says my name
These feelings so brand new
And when she holds my hand today
She holds my hand She holds my hand
So I smoked that cigarette to the end
Just waiting for the phone to ring
And I'm writing this lonesome song
that I hope to never sing
To never sing To never sing
I'm Love Sick
She's the drug that's deep inside of me
A needle and my eyes both bleed
Love Sick
I'm guessing she just walked away
These Hopes and Dreams are lost today
I'm Love Sick
And this pain it hurts so bad
Hurts so bad Hurts so bad
It's the way she said "I want you babe"
And the way she holds my hand today
She holds my hand She holds my hand
So I watched that cigarette
Just fade away Just fade away
I hate today I hate today
She said she'd be my Valentine

For every soul that seeks itself
between the remnants of past days
or lives
For every wraith who doubts beyond
deepest despair in distractions
that give
Just a small amount of respite despite
efforts too much for one alone
to bear
Here is my hand, here is my heart
For it is big enough to hold you too
Do not despair
While in the darkness only candles
seem to glow, look beyond the flicker
to find hope
Which will be there, in distances far
and oceans wide, it shines bright
we can cope

She left me feeling breathless.
All it took was just one kiss.
I never thought the girl I love
could make me feel like this.
The Lord made friends to cherish and hold,
And to be a big part of the stories you’ve told.
Someone who will lend an ear or maybe a hand,
And listen when you have problems and understand.
Friendships have no boundaries or distance,
They are always there to lend a hand, to be of some assistance.
A true friend has no price tag,
But they’ll help you climb that hill when you start to lag.
When you are sick they are usually the first ones there,
To help you in your time of need to show they really care.
And the only thing they expect from you is just the same,
To help them also should they get sick or lame.
What’s fair is fair that’s what makes it so great,
They’re the type that will share everything upon their plate.
To all the friends I’ve got I say thanks a lot,
Know this you’ll always have a soft spot in my heart.
And when I say my prayers you are included there,
I pray for you because I care.
they're rolling him away
in a wheelchair
down the hospital hall
out of my reach
cutting the cord
promising to bring him back
they're rolling him away
his future in their hands
leaving me in silence
alone with my fears
wallowing as i wait
with nothing but hope

i remember coming home
under the weight of fate’s hammer
one nail already in your coffin
the bell had rung loud and clear
announcing the last round
i brought you home
my precious love
what was left of you
i brought you home
where you belonged
not sure how anything would play out
time a blur nothing certain except
we knew it was the last scene of the final act
but as best we could dammit each moment
would be one by one preciously savored

Strangely sweet on you
sadly, you got sick of me;
diabetic love.
Covered with sickness ,
Lonely dawn .
can't fall asleep ,
Waiting by the phone .
I am captivated ,
With those twinkling stars .
My imagination is traveling ,
From Earth to Mars .
Gloriously vanishing days ,
I remember so .
When I say I love you ,
And you said the same too .
Laying in my bed ,
Waving my hands up .
I don't know what's happening ,
It makes my head pop .
I decided to forget ,
What you promised me last .
Looking for someone ,
Who can make my ruined memories cast .
Neil Dinoy -
Two holding hands
The symbol of caring
The symbol of life
The symbol of love
The symbol of I will always be with you
The symbol of taking care of you
The symbol of the family they have raised
The symbol of I am with you when you’re sick
A universal symbol of feelings
Show me the love
Heal my pain
Stop the hurting
Don’t complain
Love me doctor
Like a child
Cancer be damned
I’ll dance all night
I don’t need my hair
I don’t need silly pride
All I need is love
And to feel it inside
I can live with the chemo
I can take what’s outside
But I can’t live without you
By my side.
Love me or hate me
Make up your mind
I’m living in a moment
A spectrum in time
Bye now my love
They’re putting me under
I’ll be back in time
Or in eternity I will float
But I will not sink
In this leaky old boat
Till death do us part
I’ll paddle toward light
With both oars in the water
Holding you tight
Said my car,
Beautiful,
drive me in lover boy,
Slowly, Slowly,
Owe-wee
This is so congenial.
Let me savor every moment.
So tight you are revving every muscle in me.
Love it!
sweating a sheen on me,
like a fresh coat of wax.
Ah, Ah, Aha-a!
This is ecstatic,
keep me parked right here.
Don't move a squint.
Wow I am in Lovers Lane.
I mean every car would want to park here
but this Garage is mines.

Type In (A. Juman) For A relaxing and astonishing moment with all my POEMS
Sleep sweet child for the laughter of the leaves
has withered on the trees and the wind blows cold
as dusk calls with shallow, whispered breath
and nighttime masks the waiting dawn.
Let not a lone tear, drip from your tender eyes,
as you look upon me lying here.
I have seen so many things in my long life,
I have lived my dreams and sang my songs.
I have danced and laughed, and kissed and loved.
Though I shiver through sweating brow, my bed is warm,
the aches and pain, a mere moment's distraction.
I'm sure they will be but a memory soon.
Is that fear I see in you, as I look beyond the glass?
Cry not for me my beautiful one.
In a few days your mom will take you home,
yet, your smile will linger within me.
All the better if you can't come close,
but please, do not fear the mask I reluctantly wear.
It provides me with a breath of fresh air
as my chest grows weary from this cruel malady.
How I wish I could hold you and whisper I love you,
but that is far beyond us now,
only gentle memories that linger in my mind
as I see the worry on your mother's face.
Don't be concerned, she will be there for you
as was I for her and, someday, you will be
to calm the confusion in your little ones' tears,
I would have liked to see that day.
But, alas, I do not believe this mask upon my face
will see me through another sunrise.
I have fought so hard but grown so very tired.
Let me sleep now, perhaps, I will see your smile in the morning.
