Memories We Lost

six years of loiter
running away from reality
crushed by the hand of fate
having felt the frustrations of life
where I found my heart broken
the future a mirage
my first kiss on valentines eve
cant recognize whether I did it right
takes me to where I found my heart broken

Am on my way
betrayed by life
walking blind convinced I can see
ridding on the edge of a knife
lonely here by the castle
alone in life bullied fears
I count on the friends I lost

one friend left to beg on the streets
one now a habitual thief
one a serious drug addict
one works down at the garbage
one beaten by life, now a harlot
one already a third wife
all whose dreams faded and quickly disappeared

cascading hurts fracture my heart
as I retrospect how optimistic we were
fighting like a pig, I try to hold on
with my shadow clinging on desperately
fighting formidable battles 
striving to get to the me I knew.

Sweet Sunlight In Her Eyes Again

The sunlight is back in her eyes
Like the first day of spring,
And the world seems a brighter place
When she's near.

Her smile is like a warm summer breeze,
And her laugh is like a melody,
And I can't help but smile when I see her
Because she makes me happy.

She's the light of my life,
And I'm so grateful to have her in my world,
And I know that I'll never be the same
Without her sweet sunlight in her eyes.

I love the way she looks at me,
With those big, brown eyes,
And I can see the love in her eyes,
And it makes me feel so alive.

I love the way she makes me feel,
Like I can do anything,
And I know that I can always count on her,
To be there for me, no matter what.

She's my best friend,
My lover,
And my soulmate,
And I can't imagine my life without her,
And I'm so grateful that she's in my life.

I love her more than words can say,
And I know that I'll love her forever,
And I can't wait to see what the future holds for us,
With her sweet sunlight in her eyes.

Premium Member Pasta Love

How do I eat thee? Let me count the ways:
sauced, buttered, plain,
sprinkled with Parmigiano Reggiano,
pesto, pancetta, bacon.
Rowdy rigatoni, flamboyant farfalle,
perky penne, funny fusilli, lovely linguini,
spunky spaghetti,
personality abounds.
An atavistic love affair
with semolina goodness
in all shapes, sizes
like my three Aunt Rosas.
Dear pasta,
I count on you
for your depression-lifting goodness,
accepting no impastas!
When you end up in hot water,
you come out better than before.
You’ve stuck with me
through thick and thin,
mostly thick around my hips.
Pasta al dente, the choice
of strong Italian women!

Okay God You proved Your point
I am going to tell you now
That I am writing about the things I learned
about dealing with You
You like to do the opposite
Anytime I said I was going to do something
You did everything in Your power to make sure
it does not happen
Fine
Anytime I am haughty you bring me down to earth
That is just fine and dandy
Anytime I was so sure of something
You made sure that I am not so sure
That is just great
Anytime I am counting on something
You made sure that it falls apart
from under me
Well God You can do it all 
Why don't You?
I am not going to count on
think of, believe in anything
Because there is nothing to believe
You have it
It's all Yours
And when You are ready
You can hand it to me
Whenever
I am going to play
I am not going to waste my time
So much bull s anyway
I am going

Premium Member Stirring Up Your Faith

Faith comes from God as His gift
to help us believe in the Lord
for God is eternal always forever
displaying His word as His mighty sword

God gives His scriptures to us
so we learn and know His word
which helps us to believe His truth
lifting our faith soaring like a bird

Remember well God's promises
they are so faithfully true
count on them for your life
because He did it all for you

Learn to trust in God alone
dig deep into God's word of truth
be studious, spend time with God
drinking in the Lord's scriptural juice

Be triumphant in your faith
believe sincerely with all your heart
that God is your God of love
shows real faith is a work of art

Gift Himself


I have asked for directions
I should have followed the star
Is all about creating impressions 
Saving love could have made lives mar

I couldn't present any gift
Yet, I acknowledge his love
I only give praises in shift
Despite, He keeps me a belove

Mary effortlessly risk her life
Which makes her subject of ridicule
Then many people roast her in laugh
Today all gives honor to her womb molecule

Joseph stood to the end 
If not, she wouldn't have survived
What more to count on friend 
After all, salvation wouldn't have arrived

His birth is wonderful
Owing to such environment
No one will deny it error full
What a well effective apportionment!

What Would Life Really Mean

This is my living will

No matter what this is what's real

If I can't live with out a machine

Then what could my life really mean

If with out them I will quickly die

Please unplug them and say Good Bye

Because logically my life is done

Living with tubes and all the noise won't be fun

And no matter how hard it may be

Please unplug them for me

Life has been good even at it's worst

I have been Blessed as much as cursed

Made friends in many places

Don't remember all the names but can see all the faces

I have seen Joy Love Laughter and Hate

And what I want isn't up for debate

Please remember after I am gone

May be not one thing from my life will carry on

But the ones I Loved know it all to well

I am begging for heaven but may end up in hell

Either way so many people and places I did touch

About some kind of return I didn't care much

I just want you to promise me

You'll unplug the machine and set me free

This my best friend is not pretend

Please hold my hand and kiss me in the end

Without you I couldn't have gotten this far

You know just exactly who you are

Please don't you shed not even one little tear

Unplug me and remember I'll always be near

Even though my body you won't see

In your time of need you can count on me

I will watch over you every day

Trying to be sure happy and safe you will stay

Now you know my final wish

Let it end with an I LOVE YOU , a Hug And Kiss!

So please don't let me down

In all these years your the best friend I could have ever found!

We Aint Playin No Game

she expressed her gratitude
by saying thank you
she wished to convey to him
that his affords
 hadn't gone in vain
more over she wanted to express
to him her ways were all that strange
I know you love me
I know you care
I can rely on you
when I need you
you're always there
I can't depend on you
for love and trust
I'll love you forever
I wanted you to know that much

he told her
you're my lady
and you know I care
you can count on me
I'll be right there
when I'm in trouble
or need an extra hand
I just call my baby
she'll do the best she can
I lean on you
you lean on me
I ask responsible
it comes natural to me
aint gone shame you
or make you feel strange
aint gonna make you feel guilty
or take away your gains!

it cause I love you, I aint playin no game:
aint trying to devise you, or make you feel strange
you can rely on
and make your plans with me
it's cause I love you
and anyone can see !

Cancer Alzheimer's Park

The cancer in my head

Patently obviously 

Is ever so slowly

Taking over

Me

Day bye day

So here's to you

Al Parkinson

My imaginary childhood friend

Who as a single child

I could truly count on

And kept me company

Way back then

For kindly taking the time to revisit

Me once again

As you are the only one

Through all and everything

I have been put through and endured 

Has never once left me on my own

Stayed ever present at my side 

Till this very present moment 

Where we find ourselves now 

Quivering trembling in fear

And as old as you are now in terms of age

Reverting deeply back to whence upon 

You were a child yourself 

Trapped seemingly unable to escape

The confinement of inside your head

Praying endlessly for nothing less or more

Than when someone

Most
Especially

A close loved one enquires

Can you remember

Do you in fact know 

Who you are 

Or I am

Spring Fever

Farewell chilly months, of cold winter dearth
First tinge of green, hypnotic daisies shine,
Alchemy touches, yellow suffused earth.
Nature parties, air drinks a little wine.

Crimson, chartreuse, purple, soft  chiffon drape.
Red and white fresh rose, in pristine curtain.
Dulcet divas sing, daffodils lace cape.
Bees and birds ruffle, lust flows in fountain.

Lukewarm canopy, nectar sprinkled cake.
Plum vanilla buds, bloom in virgin lands.
First love transcends, a share of give and take.
This resurrection,....nature understands. 

Earth tilts close to Sun, flushing Spring Fever
Welcomes new birth, Hope and Life together.
