Someone comes in your life to take care,
your heart speaks and you share.
Only it you can trust and rely,
so never ever let it fly.
Sometime your eyes speaks kindly,
and your heart and mind says to faith blindly.
Sometimes you think to take or leave,
another moment you forget everything and simply believe.
Whenever a tear from your eyes scroll,
if it will be there you will never cry at all.
Not even to find in you or in me,
just hold it's hand and you will feel love and sympathy.
Oh! what a lovely god's trend,
I swear it's your TRUE FRIEND.

It is difficult to write about one's family,
especially at times of tears and sympathy.
Ever crossing her lips like a long country mile,
I'll always remember Aunt Millie's contagious smile.
Whether Sweeak or Cwiak or Shwack in name,
she was part of our family, just the same.
Uncle Ed's early death left her with three children to raise alone,
I still marvel at how well she did with them on her own.
Glad to have seen her this past week , if for only a moment you see,
I barely said, "Hello", when she smiled at me.
For her, that smile was always a pleasure,
it is the one thing I'll keep, as my memory's treasure.

You blew it, you threw it all away
You blew it, what do you want me to say?
You want me to blame her?
She was not at fault
You blew it
You tried to impress your mates
You blew it
One minute is all it takes
Be more than what you think you are?
Be more...be a superstar!
Couldn't handle her beautiful smile
Hid your ring, your promise, your devotion, your wife!
How can that ever be worthwhile?
You blew it,
You've got yourself to blame
You blew it
She'll never trust you again
Blame her, the booze, the feeling of the night
But really you could not put up a fight!
A inner fight for your wife?
You fool. You weak, pathetic sh#te!
You couldn't see that it would hurt your wife???????
You blew it
Don't come here for sympathy
You blew it
It's your wife who deserves our loyalty
You blew it

Dramatic Verse

You did something more than stupid
You did something more than vile
Don’t expect any sympathy in my eyes
No ‘well y’know’ smile?
From this point I don’t know you
From now onwards I can’t stand by your side
Years I’ve covered for you, lies I’ve swallowed like wine
But this.....this appalls and sickens me - your miles out of line!
You broke more than rules, you sank to the bottom this time
You stole something precious, you killed the perfect smile, you hurt someone beautiful, cast the shadows of fear in her eyes.
She was everything of an angel, kind hearted and so full of life.
Every ounce of the good in her contrasted with the bad behind your eyes.
You hurt what is beautiful......for no reason but selfish pride. You replaced beauty with fear, made her beg for your fists or herself to die.
You broke something beautiful
You made beautiful die

A HEART FULL OF MEMORIES
My heart is full of memories of all the years with you,
And now that you are leaving here, this I just had to do:
I had to thank you for the smile that greeted me each day
And how your oft encouragement helped me in many ways.
I had to think of all the laughs and jokes we often shared,
And how you reached out many times to show me that you cared.
I had to think of all the days we worked on the same team
And how you’d share your many plans and all your future dreams.
I had to think of when I walked through the shadow of a loss
How your prayers and your sympathy helped me to bear that cross.
I had to think of your hard work in every daily task
Was such a help to all of us as we worked at DFAS!
Oh, yes, I’ll miss you, but I now it will be just a while
Until I see your face again and you greet me with that smile.
Then I won’t need encouragement nor will I need your prayer,
For we will dwell eternally in God’s home bright and fair.
We’ll laugh together and rejoice forever in the sky,
And no more will we suffer loss and no more will we cry.
My prayers go with you and your mate as you now move away
With a heart full of memories to brighten now my day.
May God go with the two of you until we meet again
And share again these memories in the land that’s free from sin.
--Dedicated to Sharon Liles on her retirement from DFAS.

Free verse

In the beginning before you, there was only the desolate darkness.
Just like in the Bible, two people were created for each other.
The creation of a beautiful paradise just for you and I.
To spend our precious time together in lovely bliss forever high.
The only differences are that it ain't called Eden, I'm not Adam, you're not Eve.
And a place where evil cannot enter to taint your pure and jovial soul.
So worry not about the evil snake because I'm there to fend it off.
Your safety and sanity are my utmost priority for eternity.
God gave me full responsibility to ensure this world does not fall into calamity.
I shall share all the burden that you carry so that you can be happy.
To ensure that you and I can sustain our dream to be happy together.
Because only when you're happy then can that dream truly become our future.
For this is my holy duty as your soldier of pain.
Notes
This is a slightly modified verse from a rap I wrote (under the same title of this poem/verse) dedicated to my clinically depressed ex-girlfriend whom I loved dearly to cheer her up but ultimately made her feel worse for some reason and she broke up with me. The verse is about me trying my absolute best to protect my ex from all the pain or sadness that she may be susceptible to due to her depression as making her happy was one of my promises to her, which I failed to honor...
I'm not here for sympathy but I'm posting it here so that at least someone else can read it and hopefully enjoy it. :-)
Oh and it's not meant to be religious either since both of us are not, I just used the Bible as an inspiration for this verse.

Lyric
|
The words I Love You taken to lightly misused guilt cross the mind of many.
Truth of the matter is I believe that she is lost. The many paths she had chosen. Somehow, something happened and time seem to have just jumped from one point to another as she blames the world for her misdeeds that lead to something in life she wasn't able to understand. She talked about change though need to focus on changing her ways.
Blurred out the words I Love You so much she's out of touch of her own personal life an how she should feel. She's struggling with an emotional bond. What she does isn't right but she believes her speed is all natural and we can't question her beauty. Only sometimes when her attitude makes her so ugly you can't stand her presence. She wants sympathy from others. Attention hungry. Just having a pretty face doesn't get what you need out of life she knows she needs to improve her inner beauty. Though she has all the wrong answers. She believes Back seat of cars answer the questions needed allowing men to touch her soul, and her boyfriend wasn't any different, closed doors.
Many men know her past better than she does, small town girl wanting to be in the real world. Body worn damages taken toll a nasty attitude spread even her so call friends seem to make excuses for her past. It's the same story shared by them and compared.
Damages made, it was too late to save her because she blames the world around her along with the people that loves her. Whats next? She been passed around already and daddy's little girl never have been so little or innocent, just bent. Confused, no understanding of her own life and a child hangs in the balance, as she cries wondering whats wrong with her. Her short term relationships always suffers situation gets worst. Protection kept close because her bed tells stories of so call love encounters.
Whats next? Who will be the blame for relationships gone wrong? So many excuses made and love never played its role. Just spoken words, meaningless. Just like the thoughts that come to her mind. Times tells it proven facts. The ones that cares are pushed away, she loves the pain she feels inside. Holding her umbrella that rains, yet she smiles. Rain boots wet inside, shell grow up one day just praying time doesn't catch her looking for love in all the wrong places.

One test men face on their own
is the one against testosterone
cus men get bitter and moan
try bring you to pits be shown
It’s the petty repeating a challenge they chew over
a mental weakling hasn’t what you own
men become bitter witches bothered by what they haven’t
look to get the better witnessed banter apparent
within their shallow waters
shadows stalk with no shortage
of bows and arrows to assault
insecurities break the barrier
caught up in their flaws
now attack your character
out to bring you to floor
they want to distract
impact and trap you to crack
deny chances
stump advances
stop natural advantage
leave you stranded
they understand you as better
pile in together
Hunter gathering skills scavengers
saboteurs sadly sadden you
man is no amateur
as a predator
we apex
don’t take bets
we the best thus damage expectus
we also survived being hunted
as we escaped or confronted
as hunters we're at the front back and sides
with claws wings arms legs tails in stride
we can go walk fly dive sail we're supplied
so when one man fights another
no one man has the upper
tall broad short clever
no one man above another
this is when testosterone looms
tests offering doom
elephant in the room
eliminating one soon
it can leave you depleted
weakened in defeat and
there's no sympathy to seek
pathetic like a geek
you handle it alone
removed from a throne
in an unattractive zone
with only you alone
you have to pick yourself up
find strength not self destruct
you feel embarrassed muppet
you must rise above it
it's lonely with no loving
but no tears come no blubbing
adrenaline rush you're livid
the energy found is vivid
get up get back go give driven
impulse not a decision
a buzz of courage propels hell is given
Anyone out to terror me on my territory
will fail terribly I’m telling thee
I’ll tear 'em a new
tear two if need too
remove intruders
grow nasty ruder
bruise and injure
ruthless
loose tooth fracture
induce stress
mentally wreck
won't brake press
leave broken mess
show respect to us
or I'll be forced to resort
with a force never have shortage
That’s how testosterone roam
to test us on our own
a test women ain’t known
with their harsh words pulled hair and slap happy crap
you live on your own when you’re born as a chap
stand up and fight for more than your own back
face danger in strangers
ignore a mentality with scars it strains us
women get comforted after pain
men get conjured do it again

Mommy, you are the master of matters that I manufacture
The Queen that queued for nine months to receive me
You are the fleece blanket that warmed my days in the dark
The pillar that strengthen my backbone when I was weak
You failed to deny me the access to see the light when nature calls
You spent painful days and nights carrying my body in you
And selflessly shared with me every bite of food you ate
Challenges of losing me on my arrival threatened your peace
But you fought back with prayers begging God to save me
Exhaustion of the final day when I knock didn’t scare you
You endured the bitterness of giving me chance to find my way out of you
Even after my fall you didn’t swear back but smiled back and praise God for my safe arrival
You welcomed me in this planet earth and give me home
You made me familiar to the second planet where i was a stranger
You named me so that i grow to recognise my identity
You voice was so sweet for me to recognise you among others
I realised that i have a sense of smell in early days of my life when you cuddle me
For that you deserve to be called mother because you mastered me till this day
From crawling to running you mastered every step I took
Every move I made you monitored with high observation
The moment of my fear to take first step of my walk you were there to watch me
I cried and crowned you with restless nights though you found it easier to survive
They wished all the fun and luxury lives but you wished to see me growing to be the best
Torments and tantrums I threw at you, you managed find a way to show me the light Mom...
You knew that I deserve better education and that it has to begin with you
At the age of one i knew the word mama without you whispering it in my ears
Birth bond transmitted it to me because that was the first wish you made when I was still in you
From day one stage at school to the teenage stage behaviour
You stood by my side with smile in spite of difficulties you faced
I grew to humiliate and embarrass you
Put you through hardship and so much anguish
I forced to fall under bad influence of alcohol and drugs
Grew to make my own choices of friends that charmed me
I refused to listen when you they aim nothing but to champ me
You cried crown and begged me in public to make me understand your pain oh Ma...
All I heard was the melody of deception from the street
All that I saw was the bright lights of the spinning cars
Phone calls I responded only unknown because yours was annoying to take
I messed and mixed up the bright future you planned for me
I offended and perpetrated against the community including you
Sneaking and stealing behind your back, right under your nose oh ungrateful me
I cared for no one but my selfish behaviour and needs
I was left with nothing but jail for my sins
Yet you were left with nothing but to bail out your king
I cried back at you when things get tough dear Mommy!
Apart from everything you still had the gut to master my matters with sympathy and love
The crash I banged at you, you failed to hold the grudge
Pains that I have caused you, you never painted me bad
All that you honoured was the title you were given the day you gave birth to me Mommy
You are indeed the master of the matters I manufactured
