Life is hard to manage on my
own
But on the other hand I have
grown
I've seen a lot in recent times
And been many places one at a
time
I love my new life and the
chance I've been given
To experience so much right
from the beginning
I'm kept warm and safe every
night
In the arms of the man who is
the love of my life
This is the place I want to be
Because with you I can just be
me
I came to you so very broken
That words I could not have
even spoken
You freed my soul and held my
hand
And stopped me falling deeper
in the quick sand
I lay with you each new night
You always turn to me and say
you will be alright
I love you like I've never loved
before
This is why I have chosen to
close the old door
SUSPICIOUS LIES (( collaboration * Rick Parise ))
by~ RICK PARISE
When jealousy is thrown out the door
and compromise is welcomed in, it is then
a novel of strewn pages empty and silent shall
reap enraptured song
For our love of bitter regrets and expectations
shall fall with the setting sun
And within that early morning light
a new love shall rise victorious
where promise endeavors
and soft shadows lie
by~ POET D.
The guardian of our love has risen once again
I share with you my love the sun and moon
Two rivals as we hold hands
The vigilantist in your eyes, will now kiss me softly
Like a flower our new love will bloom
Win or lose, you are the one I choose
And within that midnight light
our love will confuse no more
promise will overcome insecurities
faithfulness will soften all
A Collaboration with *RICK PARISE
~MY COLLABORATION CONTEST~
I’m not much into phonies
And I love to play the ponies
I spend too much shoppin’
And do too less moppin’
I love my amazing hubby
My fantastic cat, Chubby
Starbuck’s Passion Iced Tea
That trashy Reality TV
My famed DVR recorder
Though not exactly in that order!
I am crazy about my fitness classes
And adorable old men who make passes
'Experts' say I have ADD, but I don’t agree
The reasons…Wow look, a hickory tree!!!***
I fancy fine champagne and microbrew beer
When the Broncos are on, you’ll hear me cheer
Well, good friends, alas, my departing…
Why, you ask? Big Brother is starting!!!
***Warning: If you ‘get’ this, you just might have ADD :)
A little bit of me
Goes a long way
Lucky you get to see today
How this came to be
I grew up sheltered and shy
I don’t know why
I was always quick to cry
Quiet and self-conscious, oh my
Then came along my high school years
I finally broke out of my shell
It was only a matter of time that would tell
How far I put away my old fears
I’m a married mother of two
Who always has something to do
Yet I always make time for you
Forever open to trying things new
Practical jokes and a funny line
My goal to make others happy and smile
Keeping my friends and family on their toes is my style
Occasionally spirited by a glass of wine
My caring and sensitivity side shows
As my open mind and heart always grows
To come to me for anything, everyone knows
Or just to read my words where compassion flows
Best of all is to myself I am true
Learning from the past and things I once knew
Living my life for me in all that I do
So I may love myself and love you too
I know that God is the master and all knowing
and with this gift of life,
he gave me you without showing
me how to handle all the love
and feelings thats included
i spend my days trying to show my love;
and work on how to prove it
its been a challenge keeping you to myself
cause other women see what their missing
and you don't have the strength just yet
to be flattered from a distance
your charm and grace has been misplaced,
it should be mine and mine alone
and marriage is a scary place
when the trust is completely gone
the choice is mine for the first time
i feel that love is not enough
i need more from you cause time has proven
temptation can call your bluff
so ask yourself if this is what you want
and please make a commitment
today's the day just ask yourself
if you have any resentment
for the woman you say you love
and choose not to be without
time will not wait you must escape
if you have any doubt
I talk three different ways
I walk only one
I dress myself with clothes i made
I paint my nails so the nail shops won't get paid
I'm a singer, dancer, painter, writer
And i'm great at tying my shoe
Spongebob is my favorite cartoon
I eat cereal mostly around noon
You can't judge me just because i eat limes plain
And i have a thingy ma-jiggy in my name
I use to play a lot of video games
I rarely get mad so my atittude stays the same
I'm the realest person you will ever meet
I will tell the truth and i won't ever kiss feet
I'm goofy, fun,bubbly and my style is fly
Don't ever question my judgement
Don't ever ask why
I'm awesome just because i do what many don't
I'm beautiful because i never let makeup takeover like many i once knew
Getting to know Kay'Sha , is a great thing to do
I'm trustworthy and i won't ever betray you
Searching for love i can't do
Because i have a boyfriend i love so true
It was nice sharing bits of me with you
Farewell i say instead bye for today :)
Strolling through life nice and easy
family love and friends
collateral can be the route to evil
food and love all that`s needed.
£ and $` s = The devils advocate.
I don’t know why,
Tears fall of my eyes?
I life,
Many people came and many went away,
Some loved me,
Some were loved by me,
Some respected me,
Some were respected by me.
Today when I sit and think,
I wonder,
Why did I respect them?
Why did I love them?
Who left me,
While I was really needful of a smile.
I don’t know why did I need them,
When nothing was in fame?
I don’t know why did I trust them,
When they had no crust?
I don’t know why did I make them smile,
When they made my smile go miles,
I don’t know why did I never leave them,
When they left me,
I don’t even know why did I love them,
When I knew they had to hate me,
I don’t know,
I really don’t know why,
Tears fall of my eyes!
You did many things,
And most you should not be proud of.
You broke my heart,
Made me cry at night,
Went to a police department,
Vandalised a car.
But there is one thing that
I love you for right now,
You inspired me,
The words that I am saying,
The songs that I am singing,
The tears that I'm shedding,
The poems I'm writing
All because of You.
For someone that I fell in love with,
then hated for breaking my heart, Eric Hoey.
A Maverick free verse
The poet precept but if he doesn’t know it, that he is a poet,
is very apt to blow, for many concepts seek to slow it.
A poet knows that between love and life, there is no strife,
and strife cuts as a knife the sweetness of life.
As poetic primal alive is derived it comes alive.
`Tis a gigantic river that doesn’t strive.
It becomes one’s notion in quite a smooth motion,
that notion in motion is smooth locomotion,
reveals that love was inspiration of notion.
`T was love’s first notion in motion that gave forth explosion,
Personal trinity of the three, in personal glee.
If one doesn’t know it that he is a poet,
his source will dry up, not even a super-rut,
nor dribble of syllable.
Love is the source, of course,
The poet‘s riches of source.
REMEMBER , YOU MUST BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
It is like magic
Every word, every move is like magic
Abracadabra, there it goes
You are mine and I am yours
But, can you be fooling your eyes!
In a stage play, a drama or a show
Actors will be acting accordingly
It maybe a fiction or maybe a true act
They must perform true to their form
The inner self counts.
Remember what you are doing
Pretense of loving just for sheer doing
Will bounce back naturally
Cupid’s arrow will turn around hitting yourself
And, in the end you are the loser!
While if you are always true to yourself and to your love one
It would be like magic, a beautiful music
Everything playing smoothly
Happily after and sweetful forever.
Sincerely as love begets love.
Don’t you love this
Beautiful mix
Beautiful strings of soul
Beautiful melody
Lively lyrics
With freedom, flowing
Fluently,
But not just for show
Oh no
As the violin
Rests between
Certain notes
and the lyrical maestro
Pauses
Drawing
Quick breaths
During stage time
In time
In between lines
Myself, I remind
That everything with breath
Ought give praise
Don’t you love this
God’s instruments
Letting His praises ring
The violinist,
A vessel
Strumming the melodious strings
Making way to their singings
Singing sensations
To God, so sensational
This I know
As I project
His praises
Through my style
Of words and phrases, freely
I’m never to forget
What He’s done for me
I’m never to forget
A cross, the cross
At Calvary
Where life began
Again
When I chose to
Receive
That’s why I love this
Lifting up the name,
Of Jesus
How great thou art
Instruments of praise
We are
Yes, yes
Instruments of praise, we are
In our minds
In our hearts
Instruments of praise we are
Even as we,
Snap our fingers
Clap our hands
We give glory
To His creation
As only His creation can
We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become
disguised with ourselves just to satisfy the eye of someone else: Not only do we
forget who we are, but we forget where we come from--
Those who can find joy within' the simple things in life;enjoy life the most:
Sorrows are human errors that challenge us to swallow our pride in hopes that our
apologies will be accepted--
Look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power;
then will our world know the blessings of peace--
Forget everything.
Forget all our dreams.
Of children and marriage and life filled so meticulously.
For once in this lifetime.
I just want to be me.
Forget all the passion
All the love that we plead.
Forget all the anger
Forget all the zeal.
Remember the heart
That once used to beat.
Not needing a battery
To complete every feat.
Remember the need
To be more than you can conceive.
Remember the want
Remember the heat.
Remember the greed
To procure every stead.
To walk in the park square.
With your head
Not facing your knees.
Revive the action
Revive thee please.
Revive every emotion
That once set you free.
Steady you stand
No need or demand.
Speeding heart you recede.
No barrier to compete.
The fire rein stilled.
The love refilled.
Words come so easily with a power
That I had forgotten how to feel.
Do not restrain me
Or refrain from thee.
This love that once made thee
Shall never be regained.
Love lost love found
Love stolen and then gathered around.
So arguably untainted
So incompletely infatuated

are we capable loving another?
or is it a false sense used to keep evolution moving ?
time has moved us forward where relationships become relations
where relations only last a night long
love never lasts
love turns to heart break
heart break to hate
hate which is next to love
i wanna find
a fountain of love
where it flows in abundance
and splashing against my heart
why cant we make love last?
we are selfish creatures who love our selfs more
or
maybe we don't love our selfs , so there for how are we to love eachother
