The red-bellied woodpeckers
and wood thrushes of Central Park ...
hanging in majestic oaks
and shady dogwood trees,
woke up early to greet
the glowing sun from the East,
and unable to speak
in the human voice...
they used their melodies
to send us this message,
"There's sorrow lingering
in the September warm air;
summer is ending
and fading out
like a distant star;
from a short distance
tragedy will strike
to shake everyone up
with horrendous fright...
death mocks life
with a foul laugh!"
When peace dominated over
the still and peaceful
New York Harbor,
Manhattan found itself under
clouds of debris and dust
and the stifling,black smoke
could be seen from each County...
to dispel the wrong assumption
that it was the safest city!...
And this act of terror
stirred up much contention
to have struck it so unvaliantly!
Manhattan under dusty clouds,
never before we heard anguish in voices...
as fighfighters raised the American flag
on a pile of smoking rubble:
they were so courageous and didn't tremble...
what was so pretty,looked so sad!
Those swelling and blacks clouds
haven't vanished yet
in the drifting winds,
they are stil rising...
unable to be forgotten
and many would have given
their own lives to prevent
all that from happening!
We silently stood there so helpless,
crying and praying even for the strangers
who couldn't fight
the smoke and flames
and live to tell their story,
which others will write
for their country to be read aloud,
but many will relive that tragedy!
Manhattan under dusty clouds,
the greatest city under siege...
putting away its prestige,
but calling out to the Nation
not to resist the deed of mortification
and become vulnerable to more attacks!
Manhattan under dusty clouds
in a month when daffodils and lilacs
made it beautiful...waving in grassy meadows,
forcing the broken spirit
to leave that spendid Paradise
and face a crude reality and weep!
Manhattan under dusty clouds,
but the flag still waves with pride,
and anyone counting its stars
knows that they are intrepid...
truly inseparable by those
sharing the same fate and beliefs!
We are stil here musing toying
about frolicking throughout
the galaxy only he and I can
muster up the courage to
devour life's simple pleasures
crafted and so well hidden
a little bit of heaven on earth
that we share like freshest
peaches on a lazy river he
and i humming my favorite
songs somewhere beyond
the sea somewhere over
the rainbow colorful hearts
pour from the sky splashing
us beneath the sun rays as
we run for cover between
colorful hues dazzled by day
by night singing the blues
he and I are the only ones left
alive all our troubles has gone
leaving us here right here
right now we are still here
AS I LAY IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE GOLDEN
GRASSFIELDS OF
MOTHER NATURE
I ADMIRE THE CALMNESS
WITHIN MY SOUL
THE STIL, BUT
SOOTHING, WIND BLOWING
THROUGH THE TREES
KINDLY GREET THE
EMERALD GREEN LEAVES
THAT SEEM TO EMBRACE
THE WINDS ATMOSPHERE
THE BOASTFUL FLOWERS FLAUNT
THEIR MULTICOLORED PETALS
FOR ALL THOSE TO IDOLISE THEM
THE DISTANT MOUNTIAN TOPS
ARE COVERED IN PURE
WHITE SNOW – NOT EVEN
THE SUN DARES TO MELT ITS
FROZEN AND THICK INNOCENCE
THE SMALL TREE CRITTEERS
SCURRY AROUND TO AVOID
THE LETHAL TALON OF THE
BOLD EAGLE THAT SOARS
UBOVE THE SAPPHIRE SKY
BUT ONCE THE SUNSET
ARRIVES…
ALL THOSE WHO WERE
BOASTFUL, INNOCNET
AND BOLD...
SURRENDER THEIR
UNIQUE ABILITIES
TO SETTLE DOWN - AWATING
FOR THE PEACEFUL
NIGHT TO ARRIVE
MELISSA VERWEY (21)
Form:
So many difficult struggles and obstacleS
Every attempt is an utter failurE
Lost hope,no one to heaL
Finally analyzed myselF
A tough process like searching raindrops in seA
Certainly protected me from the havoC
Thank God,I am buoyanT
Using this skill ,I happily prepared a tableaU
Agenda of my endeavors in this erA
Lust for success,stilL
I feel like nucleiI
Zeal to attract electrons(success) to glitZ
And let me get amnesiA
To forget the pasT
I am now eager to meet the failure's antI
On the whole, I see a new me,whO
Never want to resigN
You know I used to think that
I was the problem when it came to relationships
I used to think I wasn't good enough didn't look good enough
and I was the reason the females I was with
was fallin in lust not love.
I thought God was pullin the rug from underneath my feet
but what I had to understand and realize is
that I'm only human and yeah my heart stil bleeds
Eternally, physically, mentally, and emotionally
all I ever wanted was someone to actually love me
but in all actuality it was my heart
that was going to be a homicidal casualty.
You see I'm blessed with a gift & a curse
to love & to hate but I too make mistakes
God gave me the option he put before me
life & death curses & blessings
he told me to choose and even though
he already knew the decision I was going to make
I heard my guardian angel telling me
the only fate is the one you make.
So it's only with the power that God gives me
that I speak and spitt so poetically
and the one thing I'll never forget is
he was the one that never left me
so with this lyrical testament
I give all honor and praise
to God that he chose to bless me. THANK YOU!
Although today was hard and all your hearts broke a little more,
I no he would've been watching and he'd be so proud of you all ..
I no it's hard and it hurts and it all seems so unfair ,
And all you wish is that you would wake up and he would stil be there..
Some days it is harder than the yesterday and the one before ,and there will be days your going to miss him just that little more ..
And Although the pain of loosing him will never go away, as time goes by you learn to live with it and you all be ok..
Remember just cause you can't see him Dosent mean he isn't there ,
He will give you little signs like a touch on your back or a breeze through your hair ..
Losing some one you love hurts and can be so hard to do , just no I've been there and I no how it feels so if need anything I'm here for you ..xxxx
SMOKEY THE CURIOUS CAT
Through all his years he was such fun,
Companion, Friend, and more;
Adventure was his middle name,
And I was never bored,
As long as Smokey was around,
He'd brighten up the day.
He'd snuggle, cuddle, kiss and swat,
and say,"Come on, let's play."
I had some turtles in a bowl,
As cute as they could be;
They disappeared while I was out,
Found under the settee.
I had my suspicions,
About how they got there,
So I watched my little buddy,
But he never moved a hair.
Then one day he strolled by me,
With something in his mouth.
I followed him to the livingroom,
He crawled beneath the couch.
He placed a turtle on the floor,
And gently lay beside it,
Just watching it so patiently,
Not hurting it a bit.
Slowly it stuck out it's head,
Then it began to move,
Curiously he watched it go,
Thought Smokey,"He's got groove."
"I like this tiny little guy,
I wonder what it is."
I reached in and picked it up.
"Busted, here's the miz."
"These guys will die without their bowl,
Smokey, don't do that;
But I stil love you best you know,
You are the best of cats."

Even in my words on the computer, I still like to offer a prayer before I fall asleep.
At times, I walk and wonder if my past is a prediction of my future.
I see your message as I study with others. Each time, there is a union of three people.
When I am alone, I pontificate on your message and your guidance.
All I can see is peace through my tears of strength.
It is the lubrication of my soul that I come to speak with you.
The person I love is far away from me.
It has taken me time to realize that they are the chosen ones.
You have revealed them to me. Yes, there are times when we both ask if we are meant for each other.
Stil,l you keep pulling us together and apart from one another as a divine yoyo.
Well, this is just proof that you are not rigid.
You tend to make those you know will be the destiny of one another to go through trials so that they can prepare others for their path.
Feelings of jealousy are only a reminder that we are destined for each other.
Jealousy is meant for those who are in love with one another.
You once stated that you were a jealous God/god, to the point where you would not share us with others.
All of the other gods have not been like you.
What they sacrificed supposedly is not enough.
You came into the world and became the flesh to pay for all of our sins so that you could have us again.
I see that you are in control, and we must become unified in you for the divine blessings.
Proximity is not your concern, as you have scattered many among the nations for your purpose.
These scatterings add diversity and unity as each will find their own.
The man will find the woman as both have different lives; however, you have made this so in an effort to make us more unified and stronger for the future.
My eyes look for you,
My heart bleeds the truth.
My spirit enters your soul completely.
A shipwrecked mind in dissonance.
I lay in bed half asleep, thinking about you.
Thoughts latched in memory, I miss you.
Waiting to quench thirst from an empty well,
sorrow shimmers your reflection in my eyes.
Soundless chime of clock ticks for tomorrow,
A tomorrow, without your hand to hold,
The lost starry heaven,
where love had happened without reason.....
Your cologne smacked kisses still reach my lips.
Perfume of petrichor not lost in labyrinth,
raindrops still drizzle over a scorched soil.
My dark dank caverns still drenches in your soft light.
An eclipsed moon stil ignites dreams in my night.
A smoldering incomplete fire, you keep burning in me...
for a phoenix to rise from its ashes.
Reaching up, you complete me.

Against our better judgement, time is stilL

Our aim is with our allies best efforT
To bring change that will bring us closer tO
Help us with our peace negotiatioN

Reduction of troops and armaments tO
Create a stable front, and in effecT
Abuilt trust, opened borders accomplisH
New trades, industry, as well as financE
Deals, with both our allies, that will opeN
Landing and shipping rights be establisheD
Eventually, a world without borderS
Glad to have drawn that conclusion, ratheR
It being a ravaged world full of strifE
Victlms and their annoying agendA
Exstablishing their rule of law and wilL
Power, which makes you an academiC
Entity, in golf terms; stuck in the rougH
And now, we’ll check our acadamiA
Clearly, the above outline, is real kee N
Edifies righteous moves that were insynC
And the name of the game is always: PEACE
