Best V 1 Poems
v.1 Now time and time again love has come and gone
It always leaves and never stays too long
And time and time again I've had to mend this broken heart
And then I don't know where to start, and I'm alone again
But time will heal all wounds, that's what they say
And loneliness will find it's way
Of makin life much more than I could ever bear
And I need someone to share my life with
And there you were and here we are...
(chorus)
Right here, this is where we belong, tell me it's not wrong
I know that we were somehow meant to be
And here this is where it starts, beginning in the heart
You reached in and ya pulled me from the dark
And now here this is where we belong, and I know it's not wrong...
We'll always be this way
v.2 Now time and time again I try to be
On my own, so young and free
But then i find that there's some hidden memory
Of the loneliness in me, and I feel the tears
Well now time has said it's peace to me
It showed me things that I could never see
And this time I know that love is what I feel
And I know that it's real, cause I love you
There's room for two in this heart...(chorus)
(after 2nd chorus)
I know...I know where we belong
There's a place for us in the heart, where we belong...we belong
V.1 Unlike most she sits in the sun,
and waits for the day when she's finally done, she's just begun,
so alone in the sun she'll sit,
wondering what she did, and why no one will forgive
It's a mystery, Sherlock Holmes, could never solve,
all the clues in a ball, with a broken axis that won't revolve
A puzzle with pieces that don't fit, so it's never solved,
And it slowly evolves, like a phone without a number to call.
She's internally faded, so she sits in her zone, zen mode,
where everything seems to be moving slow-mo,
It's hard to know, fact from fiction, real to fake,
so alone she's gonna sit, while she numbers her ending days,
C. As time goes by the worlds retreats,
we fall down, and pick ourselves up to the beat,
but in the end, you can only choose defeat,
so deny and keep on striving, until you've walked every street.
V.2 He's alone in his space, as he's waiting out the war,
waiting for a sign, an omen, or maybe more
His skins torn, scars are already starting to form,
Stitches keep him together while he sits alone with the Lord
The world's a storm, thunder intimidates and lightning performs,
with his pride up on the shelf, another person is born
His consciousness fades, and his mind can no longer operate,
blacked out, his reactions can barely cooperate
He lost faith, long gone, the road never ends,
bullets are flying but silence is finally sinking in,
But he won't, be taken in, he refuses and he forgives,
he stands up and shoots back, until he finally wins.
C.
V.3 I sit alone in this room, pen in hand,
trying to put thoughts to paper, but the thoughts got up and ran,
What can I do? But sit alone, and think these thoughts
Do I really think I have supporters, I think not
But a gotta pen and a mind, that could be stronger than any nine,
Anybody that wants to step to me, I beat 'em with rhymes
My composure could take an entire army at one time,
and to anybody with a light, I'm the true definition of 'shine'
So don't step to me, you're to low,
the curtains are closed, the show's over go home
I have nothing to prove, cause you already know,
there's nothing you can do to stop me, until you've created a clone
C.
cosmic dust spirals,
supernatural storms born
the Goldilocks zone
Free verse ~
A quadrant of marble missiles born
Ever since,
A dream catcher catches dreams
Jupiter catches meteorites and asteroids
Super-sonic projectiles pass Jupiter's gravitational shield
Shoots like V-1 rockets, destination is Mars
Seeded life exists there, nevermore
Saturn survived
The Red planet bleeds from beneath its crust
Lava flows from its core...
graphite composite, carbon spheres, laced with crystal ice
Craters and gorges are created kilometers deep
Cave creatures hibernating,
awaken from nocturnal sleep
Catastrophic events unfold...
the moon impacted by brazen bombardiers
headed for the new frontier
The moon takes mega-hits
The Earth tilts on its polar axis
Crimson tides flood marshlands and lagoons
Place prehistoric creatures roam and graze
Cosmic dust particles of the moon
chokes earth's atmosphere
The sun's torch extinguished
Like an eclipse
Demons from the core escape shackles
They tear the invisible rift, mimics paper ripping
Chains can not bind Lucifer's legions, anymore
Bat-like winged creatures with horns
Gargoyles
Such astonishing-force!
10,000 volcanoes erupting simultaneously
There's no haven to hide
Only deep sea creatures survive
The brontosaurus, T-Rex, raptor...
vaporized in minutes
Solidified into petrified rock - place they once stood
Invincible creatures extinct
Scanning the horizon and extraterrestrial skies,
I ponder... what if another catastrophic disaster happens
The volcano erupts ever so, many -- many moons
A supernova, two stars colliding, has triggered this domino disaster
v.1 In a world full of strangers, a world full of pain
I never thought I'd find someone to love me just the same
You wrapped your arms around me and you made me believe
That you're the only one that knows how to love me
(chorus)
And I can't believe you looked at me and opened up my eyes
I can't believe you loved me and opened up my mind
I can't believe your here, I can't believe your real
You're more than anything I could ever need
You're more than everything...everything to me
v.2 Ya know I fought so hard to be here, to find a love that's true
But I never thought that in the end all this love would come from you
And I know the road ain't easy and I know we'll have our times
But you're the only one that fills my mind (chorus)
(musical change after 2nd chorus)
Well now I looked so long to find ya, I'd given up inside
Love just seemed to far away to get to me in time
But then I looked up from the dark and I saw you lookin too
And I said " How'd I ever find ya?... and you said "No babe"
You said "No babe, I found you... I found you" (chorus)
- I wrote this for my husband and performed it for him as a surprise
at our wedding...but I also think it is a good love song to our God.
...truth be told I sang it to my horse too!
V.1:
I’m sick of hearing your lies –
I pull away from the abyss
Rejecting departure at the process
Rue bounces out of my eyes –
Trapped in my emotional mess
Deliver the introverted boy from his cruel solitude and shed him hope in mind
My heart is broken into two & you’re not a part of my crew…
I was held down by me, the grief-stricken tear-jerker and my tears made me
blind
My rue never departed from me if you only knew…I loved you…
Now, I loathe your actions – I dislike you . . .
You’re not a part of His crew or my crew because you don’t know what I’ve
been through,
Being with you and all made me feel blue
CHORUS:
I will squander my time now and forever
(Are you an evil, fallen angel?)
Until I meet you eye to eye again
Our departure came to soon…our future’s a blur
(sarcasm: Oh you must be a sweet, beautiful angel –)
Come on & get out of the lion’s den!
Release me…I need to let go…
Believe in me…reflect on me…
Release me…let me go with the flow
Let me grow and see…the light at the end of the tunnel
There’s other fish in the sea…
V.2:
Now, I loathe your actions – I dislike you . . .
You’re not a part of His crew or my crew because you don’t know what I’ve
been through,
Being with you and all made me feel blue
I’m sorry…I apologize…
Excuse my horrid anger…
I’m acting so immature
Excuse my sadness… (how time flies…as my High Spirit dies)
Excuse my words of torture…
I’ll try to act mature
I’m insane – can’t you see the madness (in my eyes)?
I know it’s cruel to hate…
But, I feel so regret
You made me be in a sad state
I paid the price of your emotional debt
Can I have something in return?
Don’t let me burn . . .
In awe, I welcome Thor with utmost glee.
The powerful celestial force set free
amongst the hills and over the coarse scree.
The winds that whip and slink — the hailstones loudly clink.
Flashes segue to link — I quell the urge to blink.
My pulse quickens at the rank petrichor.
I ignore being drenched, making my soul soar,
I turn my face to the rain to taste more.
The storm will not abate — it’ll make me very late
for meeting that’ll seal fate — my destiny won't wait.
Our tempers complimenting to a T,
and search for impressive clichés in sync.
Remembering that which had gone before,
I’m quite blasé about the hot debate.
This poem was included in the 11-poem anthology dealing with hailstones, in the online publication Pick Me Up Poetry, March 2022:

I thoughth I saw an angel
so lovley and dressed in white
I thought I saw an angel just the other night
angels come to guard us and they help us along our way
Angels are around us every single day
I thought I saw an angel
I belive in angels and know that they are true
I did see an angel and they looked just like you. Amen ***

V.1: Please come back to me
One day you’ll see that I’m desperately trying to see our
destiny
Our destiny is to a part of His crew…and we had no clue…
I’m trying to borrow a new frame of mind
Without a dash of shame…without a dash of shame
Screaming at the top of my lungs,
I’ve been lost in the bewilderment of my maze-like mind
Someday, you’ll stay here with me…I pray…I pray that day
would come someday
Somehow, you’ll see me through the pain…dismiss the
ghosts of the past…
*Chorus*
Oohh I knew you would come back
Oooh I knew you would come back to me…
Sometimes, I wonder if you love me or if you just pretend to
love me so
Oooh I knew you would come back
Ooooh I knew you would come back to me…
There’s days when I feel positive when you’re around, but I
have to-to go…
Oooh I knew you would come back
Ooooh I knew you would come back to me…
Someday, you’ll stay here with me…I pray…I pray that day
would come someday
Somehow, you’ll see me through the pain…dismiss the
ghosts of the past…
Oooh I knew you would come back
Ooooh I knew you would come back to me…
Someday, you’ll sit here and say what you wanted to say to
me – there’s no need to feel dismay
Some say “you must pay the price one way or another”, but I
say take your time and let your happiness never last
Oooh I knew you would come back
Ooooh I knew you would come back to me…
I’m no longer that magazine, alone on the magazine rack
V.2: What is it like to be truly free?
I believe I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done, but it’s
done and over with
For you’re a beloved story – in other words,
My dream of reality – you are not a ridiculous myth
v.1 Reflections of theses things I need to hide
reaching down to my child inside
Can't ya feel the pain behind these eyes
Sorrow bleedin through a whole lifetime
Don't tell me that it's gonna be ok... it's just the Ruins of the Day
v.2 If I could start to feel inside
maybe life would be just a little kind to me
But everyday it seems just one more thing
is pushin my feelins to their bitter end
Don't tell me that it's gonna be ok... it's just the Ruins of the Day
Don't tell me heh, it's just the Ruins of the Day
Don't tell me heh, it's just the Ruins of my Day
Don't tell me heh, fallin away
I pray the Lord my soul to take
v.3 Now I just need a place to run and hide
till I make it to the other side
Misery loves it's company
I hope someday you'll all forgive me
Don't tell me that it's gonna be ok...it's just the Ruins of the Day
Don't tell me heh, it's just the Ruins of my Day
Don't tell me heh, it's just the Ruins of my Ways
Don't tell me heh, fallin away
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray Dear Lord...my soul to take

v.1 Hush little baby don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird don't sing
mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
mama's gonna give you all her time
Every hour of every day for the rest of your life
(chorus)
So hush little baby don't you cry
You'll always be within my eyes
Within my arms, within my touch
Within my heart, within all my love
v.2 Now hush little baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
of all the times that we will share
We'll learn to love and we'll learn to care
And if our ways should part some day
in your heart my love will stay
Every hour of every day for the rest of your life
(chorus)

Stop The Texts, Stop The Wrecks
In a facebook posting today, there is a most poignant episode of a senseless tragedy…
When Leslee Henson and husband David went out for a walk one day in their Utah community..
It was a just a peaceful outing, so perfect in an idyllic setting , and neither had any inkling…
Paradise land was about to be shattered to shreds, tragedy lurked in wait, unsuspectingly…
A speeding car with a flustered lady at the wheel, desperately multi tasking and texting on the go..
Speeding and texting, what a lethal combination, you and me, just about everybody would agree…
This fateful day, March 4, 2013, a sequence of tragic events is to unfold to impact all lives forever…
For astrologers and star gazers, they blame the juxtaposition of the sun, stars and planets forever..
This unfolding of life changing events that were destined to happen on that idyllic sidewalk started..
As the distracted lady driver in the speeding car, busily texting, slammed forcefully into the car ahead...
Poor Leslee Henson and husband David, they never knew how it happened until much later…
That hit car, it plowed into the loving couple, death to a loving husband, father and grandfather..
Plucky Leslee today is on a driven mission, even though she is a such pathetic sight to behold…..
What with head trauma, a fractured neck and back, and 5,000 stitches and staples in her skull…
With her neck in a brace, visible scars aplenty across her shaven head, what an impact she makes…
In spite of her grief and sorrow, this iron willed lady is sending out a most haunting message…
For each one of us, wherever we are stationed, immaterial of the actual location or nation…
All drivers, once behind the driving wheel of your car, you’re in control of a vehicle of destruction..
Be focused while on the road, do not be distracted by that phone, off the phone, mute its ringing..
With 9 deaths a day on the road from distracted driving, stop those texts, you’ll stop car wrecks!

V.1: I want to change the way I feel
I want to change the way I deal
With these sorrowful moments
With these anguished sentiments
Pre-chorus: I need help sometimes…
I want you to understand me
Chorus: We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn
V.2: I want to feel like I’m happy again
But, I feel like the same way I’ve been
With these people and reminisences
With these barriers, I want to be free from my inner senses
Pre-chorus: I need help sometimes…
I want you to understand me
I’m so tired and wretched with these useless rhymes
I want You to set me free…
Chorus: We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn
Bridge: You need to let go of me and move on
Before the evening or before nightfall becomes the sun
We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn
Chorus: We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn
V.3 Farewell to you and your feelings of doubt
Thank you for staying true and staying out of my route
I dwell in Your presence of love and light
I’m out of the darkness and farewell to the night
We all need to change for the better
What’s worse is being a regretter
Who has been a victim of this
Numbness and helplessness
Once upon a time, everything was black and white
Oh darling angel - I didn't know we were gonna take flight
V.1:
Shadowed silence vibrates melancholy
As the darkening clouds spiral overhead
Open spaces, breathing air of mystery
bloody ink of terror break in...doused in dread
I must confess
Under tons of stress
Hiding this love
Like a thief in the night
Robbing the house of love
My plunder is your heart
To keep in a jar
My jar of hearts
I cried a river
In my heart, in my heart
Deliver…oh deliver
Me from temptation that’s been deceiving me from the start
Ch.:
I’m nothing to you…it’s like solving a mystery without a clue!
Living this lie…refusing my cries
Frozen inside and feeling kind of numb
I feel dumb…well, it’s a bummer…
Wiping away the pain
Wiping away the tears
I ran because of fear
But I must spill the secrets
(I am here
Here I wait)x3
Here I stand…
I hope you understand…
I hope you can see…
I hope for you to see
To see what happens
When love is given
A second chance to bloom
In my heart
I slept for way too many hours
It empowers me – the thought of reaching out to you
Numb without you motivating me…
So, there’s no point of taking cover
(V. 1) I’m so irresponsible,
But you’re gorgeous and irreplaceable
I don’t know how to let go
I don’t know where to go…
I shouldn’t leave behind my past totally
I don’t know how to let go of things
The pains of the past hunts me down again
I’m on my own and I’m sore to the core
I implore you to let go of me! Let go of me!
Let go of me now!! Set me free from bondage and captivity!
Feelin’ like I need a slap in the face literally!
*chorus*
The mountain winds are howling its stormy resentment
The snow glitters on the triumphant mountains…
I’ve tried to conceal these feelings of discontent
My eyes are spraying with tears of sorrow – weep no more, sad fountains
Don’t push me to the limits – I breathe in and out
I let go of my anxiety and trade it with prosperity–
I’m one with the passionate, frozen desires in my heart
I’m strong like Sampson in the bible –
Let the light of day unfreeze my heart’s agony and avarice
I don’t want to believe in those silly allegories…
Am I your living sacrifice?
My heart is as cold as ice…I need to take His advice!
I have faced reality alone before
Is this real or is this a myth? There’s more land to explore!
(V. 2) Dealin’ with a scatterbrained boy’s a job,
It’s like running a different race or realizing you’ve failed from the start
Not one took heart – I won’t let my eyes sob
I’ve painted you a dwelling place where you and I can escape
We can both escape from the worries of this world of woe,
Sinking in its self-indulgent greed and rolling in its death cart
Not one desired true love in his or her heart –
The abyss and the ebony skies clothed them all with one despondent cape
Hand me the duct tape!
Hand me the super glue!
I'll repair you...for you make me feel complete
Like my passionate, frozen desires...now, I can stand on both feet
I'll remain discreet until you rescue me and kiss me
I'll remain trapped in callous night...if you'll embrace me with glorious glee ! ! !
Let me fix you with my passionate, frozen miracles! I won’t push you out of shape!
Surprises are at every corner and every angle – you’ll see me gape!
I’m tired of feeling blue, knowing you for so long
Like a familiar, touching tune of a song
Hawker Hurricane was his plane.
Karubin was chasing a German fighter
at tree top level, when his Hurricane
had run out of ammunition.
Karubin closed the distance
and climbed right above
the German fighter,
who crashed into the ground
when he had seen, underside of Hurricane
within arm’s reach of his cockpit.
The German pilot tried to avoid the collision,
reducing altitude without precision.
In 1944 on D-Day,
he and all members of his Squadron 303
flew many times
over the landing beaches.
Division 303 used its Spitfires
on various ground attack missions
on V-1 and V-2 launch sites,
located in the Netherlands.
Pilots from Squadron 303
claimed 126 kills in six weeks,
had 7 their pilots killed and 5 badly wounded,
but were not invited
to London Victory Parade in 1946
and Western betrayal of their country
culminated upon taking half of their homeland -
braking morale of the broken winners.
