She wanted to break up
He wanted to play for keeps
Had she missed the red flags
That could cause her grief
Some people just can't let go
They may even get violent
when someone breaks up with them
She will have a restraining order to show
He might stalk her for a while
As in the shadows he creeps
Sadly, in the game of love
Some want to play for keeps!
Where is the love you promised us always? Eternal love is
cast out of heaven for the angelic it seems—Quote by poet
It burns deeply knowing our ways of love aren’t angelic
Love’s awe emerges then torn apart as old as a Christian relic
It seems true that blessed love can only abide in its
eternal among the angels above and only in the purest spirits
We mortals find the gift of love can be difficult at best
Echoing passions of no forevers with no peace or rest
Awaiting parting and its end with such sweet sorrows
Pink coral sunsets no longer signs of golden tomorrows
To paraphrase Shakespeare’s sonnet, love which burns
brightest tends to dim the quickest—coal rakes and it churns
inside informing me that our ways of love are not angelic
Just to discover true love is as rare as a lost and sacred relic
Good morning, morning, it's a brand new day
The sun is shining, I'm on my way
To writing brand new poetry
Just for you, no one else can see
Or know what's in my heart but you
It's open, you can see right through
And test the waters with your own
Mine's for you, it's not on loan
Merging of hearts, solemnized as one
Cruising darts, piloted by the Almighty One
Scents of Chrysanthemum, crowned in leis
Glade of momentum, sweeping for deis
As you renew your vows
There are no buts or hows
Cling to each other without noise
Sing for each other with poise
As years go by, love will grow more
Teach yourselves to be meek
With trusting reliance to seek
Love will never appear short or small
In God's name nothing will fall
when both of you stand tall
As sure as the moon morphs
Into different shapes each day
As sure as heaven
Cries a torrent of tears in spring
As sure as water seeks
It's own level.
As sure as oceans roar
All day long, all year round
As sure as twilight
Never fails to follow daybreak
And as sure as death
is longer than life itself,
Know this, too,
This heart of mine
Will continue to beat, and beat,
For you, and only you.
I'm all yours....
For keeps!

Her presence fills the room with an aroma
Ease is within her body language
There is no words to describe how the feeling is
Her beautiful soul captures my inner thoughts
The man above must have taken his time for this one
Intelligence was born with her
Love is hidden in her heart
Those eyes that leaves nakedness on the body
Her soft voice leaves you trembling
She is not a show stopper
Yet she is indeed the show
I could not take my eyes off her
They turn me on and let me go,
the floor is soaked in blood.
Remnants of what once was life,
is bathed inside the flood.
Wickedness is overcome,
two wrongs here do make right.
Has the death of one within the day.
keeps alive a house by night.
This is what I'm to forget,
this is when I sleep.
But they'll be back again tonight,
cause killing is for keeps...
Our marriage is a promise from heaven above,
That we are bind with each other forever to love,
A promise not to give up when trials arrived,
A commitment into a journey,our goal to make it last.
For now we are both parents the pressure arise,
But the joy is more abundant for us to don't mind,
For our child is a gift, a treasure, an angel,
The reason that we have this most special bond.
Whenever we are weary and our faith is not enough,
We just prayed to God, to secure our hearts,
For we will keep our promise no mater how hard it seems,
We need to keep going, for our love to keep on surviving.
As we age, i can't guarantee I'll be lovable at all times,
For i know i have my shortcomings, not easy to handle out,
And i have to say i always love you more enough,
At times you are annoying,it is still you that i've been longing.
My love for you has grown stronger through the years,
Giving me more reasons to conquer all of this fears,
Just remember the day that i said " I Do" to you,
It was my heart's promise that i will stand by you.

Scents in air
Stiff and stale
Eyes of devil
Skin so pale
Moves so swift
Can't catch me
Turn the corner
Then I see
Close my eyes
Horror to feel
Knowing it's there
Evil so real
Chills on bones
Wind stands still
Voice of terror
Coming to kill
Claws for shredding
Hooves dug deep
Hard to breathe
Soul to keep
Cheap self now
Afford self-doing
Vulgar to so after-
Mass-ive tumor
That is eating,
And beating this needing
Eyes cries for the lies
Stained in youth drains
These young veins
Falsehood tyrants rule
Over peons passed
Loveliness lives like loneliness
Falling for a guy's pain
wanting to play the game
thoughts passing day by day
Just one touch!
Just one scream!
i play for pleasure
I play for keeps.
hearing songs of a man like you
Falling so tell me you do!
want to play for keeps too.
Not one day!
Not one week
Months of play one or two days to meet
thoughts pass day after day.
Just one kiss
Just one you, and one me
I play for pain
tearing my heart up in the rain.
falling please tell me what to do!
wanting to play in my sleep.
Not in yours
Not in mine,
Months of a dream I keep.
what you have given me
something I can hold on to
a dream I can keep
it belonged to you
for a short while
now moving away
as life gets in the way
a love I can look back on
savoring in my heart
what could have been
I want a man that will commit
And knows how to show it
He's not afraid of giving love
It's what his heart should be made of
Loving one another can be so satisfying
If done so without any lying
I have to trust and believe
For love is a sacred gift to receive
I need someone who is in it for keeps
Not only for a couple of weeks
I tell myself this again and again
As I ask, how much longer until then?
