Chance Poems

Premium MemberIF I ONLY KNEW - TSF

if I 
only
knew that
all it 
took was 
one more
glance, then…

I might
have stopped
to see
if that
quick spark 
might flare
again

but the
moment’s
gone, it 
went too
soon, and
I do
regret

still I
search the
same old 
streets for 
eyes I’ll 
never
forget

Loving From Afar

Loving From Afar


Staring at you even only from a distance
Is enough for me even without a chance
Your presence I always got from a glance
Making my heart comes out to dance


Suitor of a dream, catching a midnight
Sailor in the sea, waiting for a twilight
Breaking the horizon, nearly left to right
Loving from afar is like losing on

Premium MemberChance At Life

The first time we met was last night 
Feelings flew like rockets in the sky
You were bashful and a little coy
Your cuteness I could never deny

We were all sitting around  one table 
Enjoying the company and our beer 
More people showed up at the table 
You set on my lap whispering in my ear

We

Premium MemberA second chance

The sun beat down for two hard seasons long,
Their land was parched, where grass grew strong
Near death went by, and whispered a sigh,
Beneath a vast and empty sky

Watching the dust, with a heavy heart,
And wondered why, as life fell apart
Confused, we questioned, every day,
Why did Mother turn and look away

Then sudden tears from skies above,
A

Premium MemberLife, A Chance For Living

I thought to climb the mountain
then thought
why any need for atop?

Could just stay in a valley
where, less chance of a smashing
flop!

And if I flew, some aircraft of sort -- 
passenger, better chance I could safely 
have same view -- 

Nah! What the heck!

Break-a-leg, as they say in the theater

The captain may down with his ship

trapeze

is it 4 ever gone?

When I see u i feel something right inside of my heart,
I try to act different like I don't  care,but I really hate being apart,
I know I've changed and you have too but is it for the good,
Cuz one thing that will never change i loveu dont even know if it could,
All I'm saying

One Percent Chance of Win

Hard to say never give up!
It's  very simple when say,
But when we work on it 
It's more difficult than we think.


Yet, I say never give up 
Perhaps, you get,what you want,
But remember one percent chance 
Too much to win!

Premium MemberCeasefires Don't Give Peace a Chance

Guns stop firing, still the hate goes on,
with grievance still burning all along.
Peace talks halted, no hearts in repair,
Just hollow moments, trembling in air.

Need more than stalling, need to claw back trust,
Need to face the truth that inclusion is a must —
Not in the silence, but when hands entwine,
Not to encompass truce, but to redraw

Premium MemberThe Mystery Of Destiny

Destiny, oh destiny, why hide thyself from me.
Come out, come out, for all to see.
A life filled with struggle, then at last a surprise.
Why not reveal now how I self-actualize?

Have I no choice of my destination,
How I’ll proceed in my maturation?
How many ways could there be?
Or outcomes to this mystery?

More than one, surely a few,
Leave

LET LOVE LEADS

I know you’re hurting
I know you're completely lost
But just this once
Let love lead the course.

Let it lead, gentle as light
Mending the broken bridges
Guiding you gently home
Back to where you’ve always belonged.

Love has its simple ways
It thrives in  the dark
Plants a candle in your chest
And teaches the heart to trust again.

So let it reach you.
Let

SECOND CHANCE

If I ever had to live with regret
It would be the choice I made
That day just past midday
When the world dropped its mask.

There I stood adrift in thought
Drowning in a tide of anger
Sinking beneath my own silence
Wounded by what I didn’t know.

If I could build a softer clock
I’d turn its hands back gently
To the moment
