Ever since you've been gone..
I've been lonely for so long.
Ever since you left me..
There's nothing left but those memories.
Ever since we said goodbye...
I've been waiting all these lonely nights.
If only my love could ever get through...
I would find my way back to you.
Together in love..yet so far away.
As the night turns into day.
I've been reaching out for you..
Because no one loves you like I do.
I still remember yesterday...
Times just keeps on slipping away.
All these days have passed me by...
Just like faces in the sky.
Somewhere in this heart of mine..
That lonely road I left behind.
Like two drifters ... so far away..
Nothing we do can bring back yesterday.
So now I am letting go..
I am finding my way...down that lonely road.
The form of a man
Armed, legged all display.
One more appendage, up,down
But unseen alway
Is what completes him.
A wing of desire.
Brings closer, quicker one's love.
Nor does ever tire.
I eat demons for breakfast and plant them
Far away- Where no life is detected,
To spare another.
Your life does not call to see demons,
Simply so you can live it.
Some of us do not have that luxury-
Long ago we formed in darkness,
To travel to places that even nightmares
Cannot reach.
And that is why we can see what those
Cannot see.
Labels do not hinder us
I eat demons for breakfast and plant them
Far away – where no life is detected,
To spare the other.
You want to see angels and ghosts?
Careful of what you call into existence child-
For not all seeing is believing,
And not all will spare you either – And
Before you know it, nothing but fear
Will consume you.
I eat demons for breakfast and plant them
Far away – where no life will ever be detected,
To spare
You.
I am grateful knowing that those I have loved
who are no longer here today…
Because I still hold them in my heart
and I’m my thoughts
are never very far away.
Whispers of enchanting tales
Cosmic stories likely false
Misunderstanding confused about a lot
God Loves me cause I am simple
I trust in God and Jesus is my best friend
Heavy sigh intense lies
Stabilizing spies enter our minds
Distant lands unties our hope in Our High Priest and King
He is one with our Father no division
One Lord of all he makes me smile
Birds calling me dogs barking voices whispering
Dreams and visions and life and hope in my Father above
Everlasting father thank you so much my best friend
Holy spirit I know you Love me and times are testing me
I see silence breaks like thunder shaking the mountains falling
stars from heaven give me trust of my fathers soon return
Insane love deep above fission fused my spine
temples of stone replaced by temples of flesh fused with Gods Spirit dwelling within us all
In the pictures, I’m smiling,
My face deeply tanned,
Surrounded by friends
In a faraway land.
A summer in Israel,
Without any cares,
To spend meeting people
At work picking pears.
We woke at 4:30
And, after a meal,
We boarded the trucks;
Oh, that life did appeal!
So different from all
That I knew from before.
To sweat in the orchards
Felt not like a chore
But like an adventure,
To be there among
Others on their own journeys,
All carefree and young.
The golden climb, with brook beside
The autumn hill, betook from my bedside
No sickly mange would stay my pride
I’d sit there where she lied
Those days of yore
Our hearts entwined, we swore
To set sail a golden shore
And live our days in golden rays,
Eve’s moonshines on the floor
Through the curtains near drawn closed
Never wanting for more
E'er the gods apposed
But hoar winds blew and change pursued
Our happy aisle shrank from view
The day I lost you, a silence crept
They bade me speak, e’er I wept
E’er the gods apposed-
I loved you
Atop the hill in autumn's chill
In nightgown, cap and playful will
The willow gloomed the evening shade
Bringing thoughtful tears, the vow made
I’d had her hand - as we had planned-
Living off the golden land
A fiery hearth had given birth
A heaven built on earth
Yet I lie in clover, the moon high over
Her willow glooms her stone
And far away the angels play
While we lie close and alone
something new is waiting for me
and I'm running to it
i'v been running
and i will be
far away
Only be distal enough from crowded stay
The fresh and sweet of the air can be tasted
And the chirping of birds be appreciated
Also, the dancing butterflies be exquisite
Which of the untouched are full of charms
Such as imagined fairies shown in murals
In the corner of this, being ignored by them
No humans hustle and bustle traced at all
By this point, I've seen the sky was so azure
And the breeze has ever been feeling pure
And the sea was so vibrant and so wide
When my heart could fly so quietly and high
Just as the elements within our lives are inevitable to intercede
There are also uncontrolled forces that have to circle the world
Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, and greed
These 7 deadly sins are sold more than the blooded diamonds and pearls
With prayer and faith I stand next to my mother.
And with undoubted submission I'd give anything for my sister.
I'll forever go to war for and with my brother.
But ever since Cain killed Abel, family's have killed, and killers get richer.
Lord when you gather your souls back please grant us your mercy
Grab our hearts with the inner core of your palms.
We drink from a cup but Revelations still leaves us thirsty.
Deliver me like the light you spoke of in the beautiful book of Psalms.
Wash the pain, suffering, and betrayal from our flesh.
Let your light dry away the history of grieving within tears.
Invite me to throw away my sins as I ask with all my chest.
And forgive man as I will forgive myself when your flood crosses near.
Take me for away
I'm at end of my way,
that started from birth
on mother Earth !
Now almost at point of death :
Waiting for my last breath.
Now to venture far away
Show me light, I pray.
Left my happiness
Future is hopeless.
Left my pain and sorrow
After Life is waiting for tomorrow
Yes , I know I'm going far away
very soon, no more delay
On Earth seen heaven and hell
Now to respond on last bell
No scope to turn back
I'm bound to follow my pre-scheduled track.
Senses are choked
floating in unconscious waves
getting entry to after life phase
to explore an unknown zone.
Upon green hills where gentle breezes play,
A village wakes to greet the golden light.
No city horns disturb the break of day,
Just birds that sing and skies serenely bright.
The air is crisp, each breath a gift so pure,
With streams that babble secrets as they run.
Life moves in rhythms peaceful and demure,
Unhurried hours beneath the warming sun.
Fields stretch in green, and laughter fills the air,
Neighbors share stories by the fireside’s glow.
No restless race, no burdens hard to bear,
Just simple joys that only dreamers know.
Far, far away from crowds that rush and strive,
Here, hearts find peace and truly learn to thrive.

Do you believe me?
I believe!
Then they flew away
On a First Class PAL Airline to meet June.
Will there be difficulties?
It's all in our shoulders!
What if I fall asleep?
I will catch you!
What should I take on the road?
Favorite outfit
And a few gadget for happiness.
I want to take tenderness.
Take it with you.
And the bright glimpses of warm dawn
Take what you like,
Summer has whispered.
And the woman got her wings out of the closet.
The leather tethers kept loosening.
I had to pull at them until
they dug into your body
binding you to a rocking cross.
It was all for nothing
you died snapping at unseen knives,
arching up, bending time into
frozen waves.
You once said you were Irish/Scots,
Appalachian.
You called yourself: Applachan.
Sinewy girl --- wiry poppy stems
in you, and engine oil
to soften tenacious roots.
The fever racked you up.
It shook your bones loose.
It blossomed,
pouring you out
in thimbles of awareness.
In those intervals,
blue hills filled your eyes
with summer rain.
I would talk to you of Ireland.
We went there on that last night.
We made a hasty camp
in the dream felled woods,
the deep raw stumps
were already greening.
Then I watched,
and kept watching
as feeble death broke its teeth
on your blood.
We often dream of loved ones no longer with us and I believe they appear to us in dreams to let us know that they are okay.
Quote By Poet.
Fate had brought us together and I'd been with Sue for five years now,
we loved the countryside and would go there often for walks and a picnic.
We went through a gate and chose to have our picnic under a tree's shadow,
It was a beautiful June day, and the bright sun shone like a jewel in the sky.
I caught my thumb on the latch as I opened it and swore under my breath,
Sue said "Did you just mutter a naughty word? " and we both just laughed.
My alarm woke me I and realised that Sue was dead, and it was but a dream.
