Only a fake flower doesn't die
No need to water plastic
Or give it sun
No need to care for it
It doesn't care
Only fake feelings live
Lies last forever
Truth has an expiry date
Before it gets boring

These manly hands
have held another
image itched in eternal stone
looked on by an admirer
running through crowds:
feeling so lost and so alone!
Nothing too beautiful lasts quite a while,
it has the fragility of a delicate, perfumed rose
soon to be snatched by a lover of ardent prose...
ready to conquer the wild eyes of sapphire!
Any poet staring at that joyful, serene face
would write amorous verses that'll endure time,
even a painter wouldn't hide such a fine grace:
poetry and paintings carry souls into the sublime!
Nothing too beautiful lasts quite a while,
if beauty is a display of delight to anyone:
we must preserve its image from forgetfulness!
not allowing it to fade away from self-awareness.

A little boy asked me about the future...
I told him;
It ends in the grave.
None wanna go sooner
But it's the final destination for all.
Everything we're striving and thriving for
We'll live behind
Then go to our future
Another world beyond
To behold
But through the grave.
In this life we come and we go
Nothing lasts forever.
Pray your next of kin
Don't waste all your efforts
Everything you worked for.
Do everything within your power
To leave a legacy behind
That's what matters
The only thing or reason
People will remember you for, when you've gone beyond.

what if what we had was temporary
a momentary glance of happiness
of freedom
of joy
of reckless youth
a time of love and carelessness
maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay
maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.
Maybe the sun never rose up again after it set that summer.

Unknown to mortals,
is the time to depart.
For it is short but insightful,
It is fast but impactful,
Life,
with them tears and laughs,
joy and sorrow,it is purely finite,
for both the early springs and the grey.

Updated previous poem in memory of my beloved beautiful brother.
Nothing lasts forever,
I don't believe it's true,
The love we hold
For those we've lost,
Stays with us through and through.
Nothing lasts forever,
I'm inclined to disagree,
Memories linger in lifes mind,
For everyone to see.
Nothing lasts forever,
That's what people tend to say,
Legacies are left behind
They never fade away.
But some things last forever,
In heart and minds we find,
The love we have and memories,
We can never leave behind.
The passing of a loved one,
The grief that breaks your heart,
The tears you shed through sadness,
Lost , alone and apart.
So use the love they gave you,
Relive what made you laugh,
Eventually peace will find you,
And guide you on your path.

When things Fall apart in life
I can only stay optimistic
if just for another day
because nothing lasts forever
when it's our time
you
me
end of life
nothing is ever finished
we move on
into the Golden light
to celebrate our flaws and imperfections
with others like us
because in our next life
everything is in God's hands
he mends us together
how he sees fit

Poetry Lasts
It is forever
It is etched
in stone
and can survive anything
Life is impermanence
but Poetry is in a
class by itself
It survives,
is passed down
from generation to generation
The written Word
is solid
It enlightens your Soul
Brings you to
a higher plane
Brightens your days
and nights
Is immortal, everlasting
Blessed by the Muses

I’ll be around as long as canto lasts.
The beat of drum, a naked blast of sweat.
My skirt, a round, chases the breathless casts
of oxygen - the faces red - oh my -
and so is mine. The passion fire. I sigh…
Of sticks and stones that create hate - my bones
do ache and amplify sensuous zones.
The opera, unusual, its drums
that speak of life and death - skull and crossbones.
When the fat lady rests, my heart succumbs.

My dear love,
Time, I hold dear, is time with you
With me, when you are not-... I'm lost
You have been my sole one,
And will be yon ever lasts
I love you so much...
We are one, you and I
And we are what deep love is
On fast, the beat goes...
By the hold of your hips
By the feel of your lips
And by the rubs of your toe tips
Your hair on my skin is as soft as a swan
Your eyes on me turn me on high
When you wink at me, I wink too!
"I get pink"
When we walk side-by-side,
With your hand in mine...
It is like the rays of sun,
And the moon in glow
When we kiss,
Your warm heat is pure fire
And you are my rock
And you are my life
My love,
I love you... so much

The only thing that lasts the test of time is Love.
Love for our family and
For our kin,
Love for our failures.
Even Love for our wins.
Love for the freedoms,
To do all that is right.
Love for all the beautiful colors,
The spectrum runs vibrant and bright.
Love for our teachers,
They give out their tools.
To guide young minds,
And solve life’s real issues and duels.
Love for our planet,
mountains, valleys, rivers, oceans, and streams.
The beauty of them holds so tight our wildest dreams.
Love for each other,
We have so much to give.
Love for the battles we fight for and eventually conquer and win.
Love for the journey,
Travelled in our life.
Love for our parents
Who give of themselves through all of our strife.
Love for showing others everything we can be,
Without feeling isolated, restricted, forced to run and flee.
And love that we give away,
May God bless this miracle each and every day.

Nothing lasts forever
Just be smart to make a restart & be clever
This phase shall pass too
Never cut your wings that made you flew
no one is with you
But don't be so hard on you
Don't be in despair anymore
Try to find the direction therefore
It's a long alone journey all
To connect the dots of your soul
Forever is a illusion
Don't be in any confusion
Forever is not forever.....

"Where Love Lasts Longer"
My world is blue
and green
I sleep within the
blue
I see through the
green
the dreams
that follow me
overtake the
black and white
bleeding into
whitewashed gray
within the inner
portrait of me
the ruins
they spray painted
covered in graffitti
the core
like a diamond
remains
from what
they framed
the day of great
betrayal
hung on a wall
like flowers
to dry with
the life sucked
out of me, flattened
like a bad memory
pressed between
indolent pages
the dreams
that follow me
overtake the
black and white
bleeding into
whitewashed gray
within the inner
portrait of me
the core
like a diamond
unbreakable
remains
My world is blue
and green
I sleep within the
blue
I see through the
green
eventually
I awake from the dream
into another dream
where sentences are shorter
and love lasts longer
and the unwanted
memories fade
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
“You are a diamond my dear, they can’t break you”.
