(Inspired by Marvin Goldfarb's great contest in which I won a trophy cup and wonderful poems by other English poets as noted below, 'LESSON IN LIFE' by BrittBrattTechy, 'Every child deserves better' by Poetryintheblood, and..'TODAY'S SOCIETY' By Gary. W. Hill.)
My poem below then read the poems I copy pasted in my author notes.
Instead of ' in and out the dusty bluebells ' my title is:
In and out the lusty no weddin bells'
If you are ruthlessly one of those
who changes lovers like you do your clothes
and if you do beget each time
think of the hapless kids you leave behind
rather than the silly selfish fun you have each time
for you deprive them of either yourself
or your ex-other half.
Gosh, it took two to make a child
so it takes two to make it glow and grow
For nurturing them, both of you as couple need show
A single mother is modernity's most pitiable unfortunate sight
Modernisation to be blamed for this miserable plight.
How many times will you jilt and ditch partners
just for moments of nihilistic pleasure and excitement?
But why let your innocent tiny tots suffer
as if children were mere byproducts!
And byproducts of what?
I say, of flitting, fleeting lusts and desirous passions,
when senses can't think of consequence or contraceptions,
for damn it you can't know where and when you will be carried away...
Then the resulting lil angels
to be cast aside as some leftovers
from past whirlwind romances.!
All that merry-go-round of flirtation
Marriage replaced by cohabitation
Falling in and out of the cycle-like-love
again and again for a newfound turtledove!
No probability of any stability
esp with the scenario of promiscuity
while kids suffer from disability.
Didn't the Creator expect all couples
to stay together till 'death do 'em' apart
So how dare any of His creations
stick together merely till 'they get tired and bored? ? ? ?
As if the heart were an everchanging love mart!
(pls do read the copy pasted poems by others below to get a gist of what im reiterating above)
The golden silence melts away, and joy un-named
From the phantom pipes exults me
For no silence can so rhapsodized and doubts tamed
That man deserves better glory.
And what if sin could, levelling us, permit this to remain
Tell me then what is the eternal antidote of our pain?
Like distant peal of evening bell, a plaintive song
The unknown angels could also sing
And golden glow the light divine where seraphs throng
Chiming solitude's shadowy wing
Where my soul beneath the bough of your academy ignites
By the rapture that your balming melody in me excites
What do you wise man of shadowed boughs tells my heart now
What deep remembrance from me gone
When music was language to which all wisdom bow
And by songs you spoke Eden's tone
And I the Adam now understood the truth you sweetly tell
The prophecy recovered while kept in trance under your spell.
No bird then you are, sweet singer from times afar
Too sage your purpose tells the hope
The griots spoke, ere magis found their vision's star
Song beyond silence giving scope
To the word that instant wandered and did not move, and no eye
Nor I could describe that form, elusive in the brimming sky
Great philosopher, wisdom teacher, nightingale
That from solititude drops pearls
For which I sell all promise other, so prevail
Your fragrance to unbroken worlds
Where there still perhaps the universal language can be heard
In as sweet as tone as this cataract of hymn from a bird.
I love to learn, but in the aura of such light
I retain nothing but pure joy
And while in ecstacy yet claim I a full sight
Absolute and with alloy
For music makes of faith a better candle for the darkness
And faith brings truth where only faith can spark our human hardness
For up and down around me move a district loud
With the sweet notes of prophecy
Yet no one lingers, no footstep halts in the crowd
As men pursue their destiny
By choice, deaf to their own healing, and wealth so beyond compare
The peace so freely given in a song filtering the air.
Does the richest man enjoy this perfect life?
Does he value the kisses of his beautiful wife?
Is there such a thing?, do we think something's better when it's not ours?
Is there a perfect life?, or do we just wish to live another persons 24 hours
Bill gates could spend 300 milIion today and still be richer than us
Some can drink for fun, some will lose everything from the liquor they touch
Some beautiful girl is getting beaten by her man and she'll go running back
But somehow I'm wrong to talk to her and tell her she deserves better than that
I've got a lot of questions but no one has the answers
If a baby is born rich, but before turning 5, he loses both parents to cancer
Would you still envy him for all the money he will inherit?
Will you be jealous of his wardrobe because you can't wear it?
I miss my ex, but she has a new man now
Should I accept it, or tell him to step back because I'm ready to stand now?
I gave up on love, but I hope my next girl is my last
I need to build a great future with one, but can they accept my past?
Am I wrong for crying about my depression & being bipolar, when kids have cancer and aids?
Should I be ashamed of self-harming, when some mum just lost her kid to a bullet or knife blade?
I've had a lot of sadness, but I've also had good times
Why is it the memories I want to forget, my brain seems to rewind?
There's so many girls out there, but I've found the wrong ones
The issue is, I talk about them like "She's one I wouldn't mind using my tongue on"
I follow it, by I wouldn't mind spending a night with her
But I don't deserve true love, until I look at a girl and say she's the one I want to spend my life with her
Does the richest man enjoy this perfect life?
Does he value the kisses of his beautiful wife?
Is there such a thing?, do we think something's better when it's not ours?
Is there a perfect life?, or do we just wish to live another persons 24 hours
What i have to say is important so let it burn and fill your ears,
I have stood by you thru out the last couple of years.
No matter what you've decided to do, i've stayed right by your side,
Not to mention all the times i let go and swollowed my pride.
It seems you never have anything to say,weither right or wrong,
I know i should be used to it since i've dealt with it so long.
You think you do nothing wrong and i'm glad you feel that way,
The day will come when you feel different, but it will be to late.
My heart deserves better, i deserve to be truely loved,
While i offered you my heart,you pushed with a hard shove.
You want me to love you,but dont want to love me back,
My feelings do run true blue,for you, thats a fact.
I said i was gonna give up,but in reality that is hard,
When all i ever believed in was you,but i must put up my guard.
I cannot emphasis the truth in all that i write,
But i do know i'm throwing in the towel giving up the fight.
You will never give in and let me know you care,
All i ever needed to hear is that you would always be there.
You're not though,I can look and see that now,
This nonsence has got to stop,I just don't know how.
I know there's someone who loves me,they tell me all the time,
But i brush them off,thinking one day again you'll be mine.
I give and give but its never good enough for you,
It seems that nothing works no matter what i do.
I guess i'll have to say goodbye and risk loosing you forever,
Cause the love has to be mutual in order for us to be together.
I suppose i could say that i am just your fall back queen,
To everyone,yes even you,as far as i have seen.
Envy is the color of grren, Love is the shade of red,
Purple comes in the fragrance of laughter, black roses symbolize the dead.
So i put my life on hold,awaitting my rainbow of fun,
But everybody knows that a rainbow fades with the sun.
All was well
I wanted to share
I wanted to serve
I graduated with a goal
To help others
And to figure out my dream
I flew off to volunteer
And the first thing I heard
You aren’t good enough
I didn't have a license
I didn’t do drugs
I was “too innocent” for my age group
The middle age folk were too busy
They didn't have time for a kid like me
The older folk were precious
But they couldn't relate
Due to generational differences
I was separated from the group
Sent to my own project
Far away in maryland
What luck
My boss was another volunteers parent
Maybe we will get along
What horror
My boss thinks that her baby deserves better
And treats me like crap
I though I signed up
To look after children
Not to scrub walls
Isn't it a bit much
To expect me to clean
All this by myself?
My leg hurts
But I can't drive
Guess I won’t see the doctor
Why would you say
I did good
And then say I was the worst employee you ever had?
Just because there is a volunteer contact
Doesn't mean I have to stay here
So stop quoting the damn thing
How has it only been half a year
All my old wounds reopen
I don't feel safe
But I WILL stick it out
SUMMERTIME YAY
Now i'll get to help
Take care of children
Nevermind
Boss lady is a jerk
She puts me on full time cleaning and kitchen
This wasn't in the contract
I have to work breakfast
I have to work dinner
I clean in between
6 am - 1am is my shift
FOR TWO MONTHS
I fondly remember
You quoting the contract
MUST WORK 8 Hours Daily
I'm pretty sure that was a limit too?
Finally the end is here
But you want me to stay?
Another Month?
Bro- I've got college to get to!
Cant even be bothered
To take me to the airport
Well, what did I expect
Form:
I got a call, I am to report for military duty in the morning..
I reluctantly tell my wife as she was doing her usual cleaning.
She covers her face with her hands and begins to cry.
I gathered her in my arms and told her I would be back by her side.
Holding my wife, I drifted off on the couch, listening to music.
She was singing and humming quietly to the songs and their lyrics.
She tells me she understands and shows her love and support.
Morning finally came, and she drove me to the airport.
We exchange vows again, and I kiss her tenderly..
She whispers that she will remember this moment blithely.
She received his letters, read and cherished every one of them.
Thinking of the times they were together and the essence of him.
A month went by and she tried every possible way to find her soldier.
She closed her pocket filled eyes and prayed he was out of danger.
Three months passed by without word of his well being.
Trying to stay positive but, in her heart was a dreadful feeling.
She felt so oppressed and worried her hands were trembling.
She was weak and weary, her gait was somewhat stumbling.
She hasn't slept, it seems~since he left.
She takes some sleeping pills and takes a long deep breath.
Couple of days go by and he "rolls" through the doors.
He looked at her paleness and begins to feel remorse.
His thoughts start to torment, right or wrong, was now confusing..
Tears fall from his weary face, his mind is loosing…
She deserves better, he tries to reason with himself.
Reaching, he loads the contents~placing the box back on a shelf......
I know your temper flares
every time she gets you mad
You turn around and hit her
and I see her looking sad
I hear the yells and the screams
man why don't you just chill
She is your woman that you love
not someone that you wanna kill
She is the mother of your child
why do you treat her this way
She does what you tell her to do
and look at the price she pays
You get angry for no reason
you begin to break things
Call her names that she isn't
after she does everything
You use her as a punching bag
you don't care about her pain
She struggles all the time
and she goes insane
When I look at her
I see nothing but beauty
You say you are a man
why don't you fight me
She cries for you to stop
but you don't want to back down
You keep on beating on her
till she falls to the ground
She begs for forgiveness
but that doesn't phase you
You continue to hurt her
till she's black and blue
I feel her pain every time I see her
and there isn't much I can do
But the love that I have for her
is more then true
I hear her tears and sense her pain
cant you be a man and let her be
Better yet step in my direction
why don't you fight me
Stop making her cry
stop making her hurt
Leave her in peace
stop being a jerk
If you want to be a punk
and try to show your ass
Leave the woman alone
you have no class
Let her be and leave her alone
let her live in peace
She deserves better then you
she deserves to be pleased
But don't ever lay another hand on her
have some dignity
why don't you come in my direction
why don't you fight me
Form:
Going around being as mean as I can be
She doesn't know it but she brings out the good in me
She is so beautiful man she is such a sight to see
Damn she is so close to perfect
There is no way she could like me
When she talks its like angels singing in my ear
I am usually paranoid but with her I have no fear
She can soothe my tears
Cure the pain I have felt for years and years
So should I give into my fears
Or should I try to get her
Because no matter how good I am
She makes me better
Maybe I should write her a letter
Maybe I should write her a note
Maybe I should tell her how I feel
No she will think I am a joke
What do I do I am so confused
One side of me is telling me to ask her
The other side is saying "she deserves better than you"
I know that is true
What do I do
I know what I want
But I can't do that
If I just walked up to her and kissed her
Well that is a good way to get slapped
So how do you tell someone you can't breathe
How do you tell someone you can't focus
Never mind it is hopeless
I need to wash away the possibility in the next rain shower
I can't be thinking of someone hour after hour
I can only dream to have us as a memory
All the while I can't breathe
In my mind I see us walking hand in hand on the beach
There is so much she can teach
I see so much in her eyes
I see all truth and no lies
Oh my god look how time flies
When I see her my heartbeat starts to rise
Along with my desire to take off this disguise
She is the queen of the night, the day, the skies
If I ask her maybe she will give me a huge surprise
The water felt good.
I fell from where I stood.
Knees are both weak;
Been under a spell for a week.
Now that it was broken,
I'm left shaken.
In the water I sunk,
Letting my body get drunk.
I needed some more;
I wanted so much more.
Took the dose
Until I overdose.
It started with one,
Now I'm never done.
It takes everything away.
Leaving me numb for a day.
Forgetting the pain,
Happiness, I hope to gain.
In my mind was a vast space
Couldn't remember my own face.
I felt so very high
Not thinking it was all a lie.
Believed I am free,
That my troubles had let me be.
I took every pill
Until I lost my own will.
A friend is what it seemed
In a promise of bliss it beemed.
I couldn't accept my fate
And for a time I lost my faith.
That night, in the hotel room;
And after, in every other room.
Over and over --
Til I could no longer remember
How it felt to be pure;
Or if I ever was, I wasn't sure.
Touch that made my skin crawl
Stares that made me feel small.
I wanted to forget and not feel
Hoping nothing's real.
I let myself drown in ecstasy
For a while I lived in a fantasy.
Until one day,
In the middle of all the dissarray,
I saw the son I hold dear
In his eyes there's only fear.
I knew then for a time I was lost,
His fears touched me the most.
I had to do something
For him I'd do anything.
I took the easy way out,
This I knew without a doubt.
So I took each pill
Flushed it down as I stood still.
I know I will get better
For my son deserves better.
I guess I love heartache
That’s why I kept taking him back
I guess the heartbreak didn’t hurt bad enough the first time
Left me alone and pregnant, crying myself to sleep
But the love I had for him, was stronger than the pain
I can tolerate pain; I’m very good at it
I hated him, but I loved him at the same time
That’s why it was easy to let him back in
Silly of me, knowing he had another
I guess I deserved that one huh?
Left me once again
Got depressed, cut all my hair off
Moved on, had another baby
I even fell in love again
Should have known that would be no good
Ended heartbroken from that one too
I guess I love heartache
Took him back again
This time wasn’t so easy, I was cautious
Wouldn’t let him get too close
But then I weaken, love stronger than ever
Thought this time would be it
We had it right this time
Knowing he had another
I guess I love heartache
But didn’t know about the other
She made herself known
Oh if you could have heard the breaking of my heart
I thought I could tolerate pain
Until it happened this time
Lucky I found Jesus
No telling what I would have done
I guess I love heartache
Took so long for the love to finally fade
So glad God gave me the strength to move on
Knowing I deserve better
My heart deserves better
Smile now painted on my face
And I am so loving it
Such a wonderful feeling
Thank you father for true unconditional love
I guess you can say I LOVED heartache
Because now I love happiness and joy
