I
count
the weeks
the days
the hours
until the dreaded day arrives
the day that you were taken
the very time
the very moment
the very second
you were gone
so cruelly picked
so out of the blue
so why ~ I ask
did they choose you
My darling boy
the dearest husband
sweet loving father
and loyal friend
Whom I wonder made the choice
on that day your life would end
I wish I knew the answer
I wish I could have known
I would have held you as you went
I would have told you of my love
I would have been there at the end
to hold your hand ~ to say goodbye
to watch your sweet soul soar up high
my only son ~ my precious one
please let me know that you are now
somewhere safe with those you loved
patiently waiting up above
for us below ~ who loved you so
My Son ~ please somehow let us know

I have lost the words
I have lost the heart to dream
Every word that comes to mind
Brings me back to times
When You kissed me that very first time
yesterday is my fantasy
You kissed me then so long ago
Now I need you here, wishing so
That you were beside me now
I need you here
I need you now
Here and now the kisses glow
You gave me smiles
You gave me hope
That love could be a dream come true
You took nothing, only gave
Yet you stole my heart, and walked away
I can’t live any more, not without you
Your smiles made me dance and sing
And now I cant seem to do a thing
If I confesses the tears that flow
In the middle of these lonely nights
I wonder why
As so much time as passed
I still think of you
I need you here
I need you now
Here and now the kisses glow
Even now
Laying down upon my pillow
The world is all so different
My longing won’t go away
Even now
I wonder where you are
I wish
I wish for second chances
I wonder if you ever think
Of that kiss I once planted on your lips
I need you here
I need you now
Here and now the kisses glow
Now is never and long ago
Now has past and lost its glow
If only time could be held so still
Then here and now the kisses would glow

I
gave
him a
second chance,
a third and fourth chance.
He was a smooth talker- a fraud!
Prisoner of pretty words, I did not see the truth,
oh, I was smitten easy prey for a skilled abuser and yet I miss him still!
His
words
pretty,
charming ways,
his fierce deep kisses!
My chain was sweet lust and desire,
it was hard to push him away- it took all my strength.
I was smitten an easy prey for an evil man skilled at getting what he wants!

I heard they can be spirit birds
sent down by those we loved
who passed so prematurely
who were called home far too soon
Though you’re no longer here
I feel your presence all around
These birds a sign that you are near
I garner comfort when I hear
their raspy distinctive sound in my ear
Each morning I awaken
to a sign that you are near
‘tis the sound of their ‘caw cawing’
that takes away my fear
You had always been enthralled
by these intelligent funereal birds
so no surprise
when I opened my eyes
to see two black crows
perched on my roof
a sign I’m sure
for this is proof…
I pray I hear forevermore
the welcome sound of their ‘caw ~ caw’

Trembling she grins, beaming
resonating in shadows
Soft and delicate flashes,
Wiping at bruised faith
Contemplating second chances
Now fading, falling away
Like the silence within a dream
After the music creates
Guitar promises, harmony
From the darkness
Where she remains only
The stillness beneath
Heavy reflections - soothing
Coloring her illness, Multiple sclerosis
In hues of richest wisdoms
Insights to protect her from listening
To the dark, the fragile, the weakness
It is her strength, her conviction
Lying through the images, the wishes
Telling her, in brave sighs
She will surely get well
Never mind – the doctor’s
Details, the diagnosis
Frail, dissecting her grief
Remembering the way
Everyone has to face pain – even this
Some way, some day
It is impossible to mourn
This memory long gone, her
Fears will sing a song,
Like the melody found in oaks
Dancing through the wind
Woods stirred by the breathe
Only God could exhale
In time, she will respond
With prayers that never fail
Her fears grow pale – in comparison
To the details, the temptation
Dread spreads like the branches
In the strong, faithful tree
Who waits, quietly – for the wind
To chase its branches, its muscles
Quivering beneath the weight
Staggering on through
Storms that betray its weakest
Boughs, its faintest ache,
The twinge of guilt softening
Limbs who listen, hushing
Away the darkness, risking all
Hope for the chance of healing
Will this disease reveal
Her fears and tears,
The way silence fades into
Shadows burning away
The past, the memories of times
When her only worries were
Defined by forgotten dreams,
Echoing beneath wings
As she soared – gliding into
Reveries who sincerely believed
This time, there would be no need
For the song of grace, melting
Burdens into hours full of black
Will she fly again?
Will she know the victory?
One tear blinds her heart
As she vibrates with doubts
Hesitating to believe in recovery
Can’t Undo A Done
Written: by Miracle Man
11-10-2019
Our choices are never do-overs,
Once past, they’re etched in stone.
While we may get second chances,
We pay for bad judgment shown.
Reckless decisions are made each day,
Which may result in scant or plenty.
But each choice had a diverging side,
And “hindsight is twenty-twenty”.
If we’ve taken advice from a friend,
And their choice became our load.
Though abstract ideas may interface,
It’s unclear,“until the rubber meets the road.”
But one thing we’re assured of,
Life affords us no dry run.
So get it right the first time,
Because you can’t undo a done.
Why should one wish the days to pass
Of lush and verdant meadow grass
And butterflies with stained glass wings
Which autumn's burnished hues outclass?
A summer breeze revives the mind
As worldly cares are left behind
And gentle waves of lapping seas
Coax weary bodies to unwind.
Await the golden harvest grain
But may lips linger once again
On luscious strawberries' sweet delight;
Resplendent fruit of summer's reign.
Life's hourglass is finely planned
Why hasten on the grains of sand?
Let scented roses fill the air
And summer's splendour take its stand.

N/A Second Chances N-A Poems From My Contests Only Part I Chantelle Anne Cooke September 2020
There are only a certain amount of
the truly good things life has to offer
1 single person can expect to experience in one's lifetime given our human limitations
Like a cancer patient hearing a doctor tell them treatment was successful you are in remission
To meet your one true soulmate
what it's like to mate for life
Get married or be someone's best man
or bridesmaid
Be a husband being told he is about to become a father
or a wife she is pregnant
What it's like to breastfeed or give birth
feel a kicking on your naval
Hearing your child's first words see
them take first steps and off to school
Make your parents proud or see your
child succeed
To save a life or donate an organ
Winning the most prestigious award
voted for by said peers at a grand awards ceremony
Win a life changing amount of money
Discover or find a treasure map
Travel and see the 7 wonders of the world
all it's continent's and oceans and differing people
animals included
A thunderstorm expelling lighting and
the majesty of a sky full of star's under
a desert sky and a perfect sunset
The feeling a girl feels when she is bought flowers or receives a valentine's card for the first time
What's it's like to own the keys to your own home
To never have to go to a loved one's funeral
Pilot an aeroplane or jet fighter
Drive a steam train or locomotive
Captain or steer a ship
Command a tank
Be a cowboy
What it's like to paint a work of art
or play a music instrument
Sing in front of a live audience
Make people laught doing stand up comedy
Play sport in front of a sold out stadium
What it's like to find the word's in order
to compose the perfect poem
Or most prized of them all the meaning of life
What it must be like to be or live
CONTENT & HAPPY IN ONE'S OWN SKIN
The rest we have to leave up to our
own imagination or hopefully dream about
before we eventually pass on
Because when it's gone it's gone
you only live once no such thing
as second chances or do overs
Only memories to keep you company
until your numbers called and the lights
dim and you get to find out
If death is in fact the termination or end point
of your journey or the fresh new start and
beginning the good things in life never provided you
I’m longing,
For the early morning rain.
The heat of summer,
Is driving me insane.
The days are long and hot,
I wonder why I even came.
I’m just longing,
For the early morning rain.
.
I never dreamed
That I’d still be living this long.
Endless parade of memories,
From past faces come and gone.
I wandered in from out of nowhere,
Didn’t plan on staying long.
Sure thought I knew just what I knew,
But I sure might just be wrong.
.
So I’m still longing
For the early morning rain.
The heat of summer,
Is driving me insane.
The days are long and hot,
I wonder why I even came.
I’m just longing,
For the early morning rain.
.
I’m walking down this trail of memories,
Hoping for that old familiar breeze.
The shadows and the shade,
From that long forgotten tree,
Recall the things that seemed to matter,
The things that used to be.
So
I’m longing
For the early morning rain.
The heat of summer,
Is driving me insane.
The days are long and hot,
I wonder why I even came.
I’m just longing,
For the early morning rain.
.
I want to dance in the rain,
I want to feel young once again.
Wish I could right my youthful wrongs from way back when.
But I get no second chances,
I’m just wishing in the wind,
For the early morning rain to come again.
.
I’m just longing
For the early morning rain.
The heat of summer,
Is driving me insane.
The days are long and hot,
I wonder why I even came.
I’m just longing,
For the early morning rain.
Isaiah I Want, to wait upon the Lord. Isaiah I Want, daily strength. Isaiah I Want, my wings as eagles. Isaiah I Want, to run and not be weary. Isaiah I Want, to walk and not faint. Isaiah I Want, to agree with you.
