I remember a time when
That heart of yours was mine
The love that you bestowed to me
It's for that love I still pine
Every night before I go to sleep
I make certain to always pray
Each prayer I raise up to God
Ask him to lead you home someday
And when you appear at my door
And I'm giving my last last chance
I'll love you in ways undreamed
I'll give you the perfect romance
You will feel a love unknown
The way you deserve my love to be
With the love I'll give to you
You never want a day without me
Do or die got to perform in the eye of the storm
Noise from the boys remember we did deport
Another loss 3 nought a new boss will be sought
The depravity of gravity the reality of this sport
Big Ben’s men finally hold court our Last Resort
Insult beaten twice has the Bazball loon cult lost its spice
Starc’s legend hewn from chumps stumps in clumps strewn
Shredded in the dreaded Ashes vice Last Throw of the Dice
Bogged down in a twit pit will be flogged if we just slog
Stokes spoke about going for broke showing a bit of dog
Aussie boon.. Over the Moon In the Clover lagoon
The Barmy Army will still croon their afternoon tune
As another buffoon’s marooned OZ media swoon
Sucking on their silver spoon our Last Chance Saloon
Last ditch on the pitch must bewitch this is High Noon
You say there's nothing on earth
That im able to say or even do
To restore the love in your heart
Or fix this relationship with you
You're saying that you love me
But the opposite is being shown
You continue to push me away
And say you need to be alone
What you are showing to me
Is your heart can be cold as ice
I can't sense what you're doing
Don't offer my love as a sacrifice
Just grant me one last chance
I can be the man you're needing
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
For your love I'm here pleading
I'm walking on the clouds,
Swimming up the sea,
The ocean's calling me.
I drink all the wine,
With my feet held high,
And dance the night away.
One more chance,
And a one hug tight,
Lets fade away with the light.
Hearing
my thoughts
I considered
again
Last chance
to refashion
What time
whittles thin
Word after
word
They pass by
in refrain
Assuaging my
doubts
Repeating
— my name
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
The interchange
of reluctance
waiting in the queue
Permission caught
in temporal probate
affirmation skewed
One last chance
unbegotten freedom
living in between
The will to choose
nothing left to lose
— as red lights turn to green
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
We are moving futher apart
No love here......
I feel no love from you
In my lonely heart
Your busy and i get it
Making a life for you and your family
I would have liked to have been your love life
Your wife your fantasy
I hear your music
Your words of love and Inspiration
Calling Out for your heart
A partner in your exploration....
We are moving futher apart
No love here
I feel no love from you
In my lonely heart
I guess that's why I am alone
I just want to go
Go home
Wake up
With my love
Held in his arms
Happy and Together Forever
Our last chance
You know how love is meant to be
You don't feel like holding me
I get it I do
It's been a long time
I've felt no true love from you
Once upon a time we kissed
I knew I'd fall in love
We are moving futher apart
No love here
I feel no love from you
In my lonely heart
I guess that's why I am alone
I just want to go
Go home
Wake up
With my love
Held in his arms
Happy and Together Forever
Our last chance
My last chance I must grab with haste
Marked by well-doing in God’s grace
Praying that it’s always love-based.
My last chance I must grab with haste
Producing best amidst good taste
While running strong along life’s race.
My last chance* I must grab with haste
Marked by well-doing in God’s grace.
*Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

3rd place, "Chance" Triolet Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Julia Ward; judged on 1/14/2023.
You did it again, didn't you?
Broke your promise like it didn't mean anything,
Why do you have to do this everytime and ruin everything?
God, how I miss you ans your I love you,
It hasn't been so many days, just a few,
You said you'd trust me, you swore on that,
And baby it was the last chance that I gave you infact,
We parted ways again and I decided not to cry,
But these tears are coming anyway no matter how hard I try,
Remember how I was the only one? Your only one?
Just know nothing can be undone now that you have finally pulled the trigger of your loaded gun...
Global
Winds of change
Last call
(Japanese haiku, 3 lines, 2-3-2 syllable count)
people are falling from the sky
smog in the air and they can't fly
wearing tattered mismatch rags
they wallow in plastic bags,
waste, and rubbish remains piled high

Yesterday,
we freed ourselves…
divorced from one
another
Trading
forlorn bonded vows
for the chance
to be alone
Yesterday,
we said those things…
to never take
them back
Replacing
what the years have done
with promise
in the wind
(The New Room: April, 2021)
One by one they seize and plunder your soul
Wailing tormented screams from down below
The vile and fiendish are hovering all around
Gnashing their sharp teeth; fists they pound
Sinister apparitions are shadows in the night
Scratching and clawing with all their might
Careful or soon your path will lead you to them
Life will be futile when they choose to condemn
Run a righteous race or take a potluck chance
Satan's demons will take the lead in your dance
There's time to change your ways before they do
I thought you would heed my warning, if only you knew

walking threw hell so I can get to heaven,
why must I suffer when my heart is pure,
abused by others with cruel intentions,
liars don't like to be lied to and thieves don't like to get stolen from,
what happens in my community is the most discouraging thing to see,
black men and black women for each other have loyalty,
to give life to a dead man is easier than trying to give life to a black man
how will you give a solution when the problem you don't understand,
will you live for lies or will you die for your truth,
the institute of education will not teach black history to black youth, when we look at the tree of humanity black people are the roots, do you know what you dealing wit, a system that will never quit, selling dreams and goals of things you never gone get, we are fighting genocide, black babies live in a world where they face homicide, the death rate for black people is so high
Dark is the night,
Darker the soul,
Fathomless depths,
Stories untold...
Vision now gone,
Reliance on touch,
Grappling for anything,
Stumbling so much...
Inner reflection,
Compounds your fear,
For years of ignorance,
Make salvation unclear.
Only the strong survive,
As seen throughout time,
Weakness your burden,
A punishable crime...
Until cleansing the soul,
Deeper you fall,
Will light again shine,
Or shall in darkness you crawl?
Choose wisely,
For chances given are few,
Consequences may vary,
But blame falls only on YOU...
