Long Keep back Poems

Richard Lamoureux has not forgotten me during my absence. He faithfully visits my older writes and leaves lovely encouraging comments. While I'm busy working on my thesis, I got this notification on this poem.

Take my hand and let me lead you
Let your strong hand be pliant 
In my soft and tiny one
Let me lead you

Enjoy the journey
Knowing my heart is a true compass
The map to my hidden treasure...

I see you bent low
Your head in your hands
Tears dropping on the table cloth
The heavy sighs that no one can hear
Fill my ear
Even past the wall 
Between eternity and finite time
I hear
I see
Your guardian angel...

My unbearable pain tries to choke my soul
Trying to take over
Trying to swallow me whole
 
It mangles everything that I ever believed in
Making me think
Think that I committed a shoddier sin

It tears at my heart
Till...

eyes hurt
but cant stop moving
clicking fingers
send letters sprawling across
too-bright screen
knew it would be like this
tonight
nothing to do
but wish someone was here
to be awake with me
in three hours
it will be a full day without sleep
sleep
sleep
dont need...

Stop South Africa  now  
The mirror never lie
In your reflection 
Right in front of your eyes
All you see speaks 
that face right in front of your view
Shows who it is you see
So when...

Nature nurtures Geminis like me.
Sun and flowers, honey, and bee.
I put out a call, and laid down in the sun.
Little Wolf came quickly, always on the run.

She’s done, depleted. She’s forgotten how to play.
She wants...

Your punishing look;
With such venom in your eyes,
Casts dispersions upon my character;
As if my entirety you despise.
Though my error was one of innocence,
Under a rock I wish to crawl.
Your punishing look;
Can no pleasantries you recall?

Your...

Start by getting up

Then getting dressed 

Then leave the house and figure it out from there

A good morning ritual can awaken a dying spirit

Life is what you see through your own eyes, so grab that...

Everybody, except the not to be quoted 
are no longer
so when above
Sitting among, resting along
Gather round, find some good static
half the world thinks them otherwise
consuming quickly, noticed for awile
 Easy to do 
Nothing else to...

Peace From Within

a hush upon the immense solitude alone,
 brush off the silence torn in meager illusion

 we felt faint upon the setting of the sun
 to keep back the resistance with a sign

Heaven kisses earth 
In Holy refining Fire
Here you bore me 
At the foot of the Cross
Your blood flowed
Washed me
Here you gave me birth 
In such travail

I know not how 
You could have borne this anguish
This...

Oh oh oh
Do I love my soul more than my heart 
Does my love spill over the top 
Will the blood flow continue to drop,  stop
I am alive 
I am alive


I like to use...

when you are going through tough times in your life. 
why do you keep eyeing that knife.
when you your heart is numb like bombers come
why dont you send the troops to fight back.
when you heart...

The power is out
but rather than pout
I'll sit down and write a few rhymes

It makes me so happy
to write something snappy
when life throws me lemons or limes

My eccentricity
denied electricity
comes out in the open to play

Not a day passes by without my shedding a tear
For my precious mother who left me more than a year.
No one can replace her now that she has gone away
Making me wish that there were...

In the final week they still swept their floors.
A gate was mended on the third last day -
the people in the village so stuck in their way,
that some, in leaving, even locked their doors
as if...

Perhaps, I might be blind at anytime,
The present, I know, I'd beaten the time.
Though then, I was down in the dumps
Now, I cocks an ear and eye at the pumps.
Now, I'm not living in cloud...
