Premium Member Once Precious Now Lost

To be or not to be that is the question "by William Shakespeare " 
Whether the death of love is gathered in
Or found its needs lost its procession
When all the world became dark dreams again
Even unto illusions left beyond
To imprison me through years of regret
And tied my soul's pain to love's strings that bond
In my twilight's rest, I try to forget
Trapped reflections of time I came to chase
The pictures fade and yet always remain
Of love, no other lover can replace
The perfect love lost is a lifelong bane
The length of love's time is never given
To be found and lost is unforgiven

Premium Member Deeply They Linger

A life I lived has passed me by, 
My thoughts of wanting to go back in time 
I am trying to turn away and fly 
I will lose my will of losing this time.
 
My fragmented memories on recall, 
Difficult for me with an event installed 
So long ago, I thought no more of it 
My mind was in shambles, enthralled.
 
The racing thoughts would not stop, 
I thought I was going insane and had stomped 
And my heart had been 
Torn, torn apart again, please stop.
 
I'd find myself being unforgiven to me, 
With the deepened emotions of sin 
"But unforgiven," a deep wound for me 
The distractions my demons pin.
 
The chaos drenched my confused mind, 
These demons spread negatively, vibed 
My every thought screams havoc 
Walk away, don't listen, I scribed.

Premium Member Advice

Do not look to me with questioning eyes
For i do not possess the answers you seek 
i cannot taste the bitter sweetness on your tongue,
or smell the withered flowers along your path
My heart beats with less rythm than your blues
i am unable to stumble through your dark corridors,
for you are poet undiscovered
Your answers are hidden deep within an apathetic pen
For you hide behind a painted closed window
Pushing too little 
arriving late
Not aware of your own relevance
Solitarily, feeling sorry for yourself
When instead, pity could be your party
Yes it is true, the world celebrates sad clowns
But you do not let laughter mix with your grey sky tears
i myself, see images of you poured out on limitless pages
Rearranged 
Sculpted
Until your words have substance 
Becoming living and breathing beings 
I wish you to reveal to us your cherished children
Birth them to a forgiving unforgiven world
Risk the grasping hands of rejection
True courage will reveal your annoited pen

Without risk 
you cannot
will not 
bleed in rainbowed splendor
Instead, days will become years
Yesterday will slide into tomorrow
All the while the world would be less
A shadow of what it could have been
In a place of unawareness
Oblivious to its own lacking
Bathed in deprivation
All because
Of a missing
Unexpressed
Silent
Unexplored
voice!

Or maybe
Just maybe
One letter 
A tiny little letter
will grow into a word
Several strung together a stanza
Several stanzas a poem
An honest to goodnes poem
Then we will all be witnesses
To the emergence
The screaming or quiet entrance
The proverbial birth
of a singular voice
of a wide eyed dreamer
Then you will feel that collective sigh
as other broken dreamers applaud you
For on that day
If only you possess the courage
all will know
That you truly are
and always have been 
a Poet!

Premium Member moments i am held

you have these moments i am held
dazed in your essence
when your concern catches me deep
a vividness my heart surrenders to
the slight reverse touch to your heart
apprehensions walk deep within
a countenance of a mein
a soft prayer in a breath
God stop this
the soft plea only a woman possesses
that carries the dire warning
there are the unforgiven
pariahs who never return
this is one jewel in a chest
i keep in my heart from other moments
such as you looking up
lost in your garden, hands in dirt
upon knees, wiping a moist brow
asking, would you get me some iced tea
alas, the fate of a man who only drinks coffee
a man whose only wish when crossing the veil
accompanied by a chest of jewels

Premium Member Unlucky In Love

Unforgiven but still in love
Out of control I caused you harm
I slipped fell down bruised and aching
but God pushed me back only to help me up
When the fog cleared I looked back to see the damage done
All the doors began to shut
I knocked and no one answered
No one believed that I had changed
But the past was too soon it followed me
unforgiven but still in love
You tell me it’s alright forgotten but nothing changes
A friendly handshake a tense hug carefully chosen pauses
But I am still waiting to change in a heartbeat
when you call my name like you did before
You were a shelter from my storm

If I Die Tonight

If I die tonight
Who will realize that I am gone?
If I part from the only world I know
Who will hear my dying song?

When I choose to take that jump
Off of the ledge that leads to eternity 
Will I be satisfied with my decision
Such a heavy choice of finality

When I throw down all of my pills
And pray to the spirits for an end
What will lie beyond the void
When my suicide note is the last thing I send

If I die tonight
Will anybody mourn my loss?
Or will there be only silence
As my body is covered with moss

Will they think about me with anger?
For taking the only way I could see
Forever to be unforgiven
In the timeline of eternity

Or perhaps they will be glad I am gone
A nuisance, a problem finally solved
The way I see myself in my head
Where all my thoughts eventually devolve

If I die tonight
Would my afterlife be stained with tears?
Rivers of blood from the hearts I broke
The tugging of regret always to be near

But all I can do is look through a glass window
And spectate the world I left behind
I can scream, but they'll never hear me again
Begging to the reaper that I could press rewind

Or would I be consumed entirely?
In an infinite abyss of black nothingness
Where I neither see, nor feel, nor hear
Returning to stardust, complete emptiness

But I will never find out the truth
If it is full of darkness or light
I will never know the answer
Until I die tonight

Premium Member Soldier

Soldier
They march as one as a unit
With discipline they stand lucid
Into battle, they are ready
On a narrow path feel their furry
As bullets fly by
In combat they are brave in the sky
With courage in green they protect
For we will never forget
War is upon us all
All four branches in the military stand tall
In the desert there is difficulty
On the front lines it is bloody
With honor they protect with their lives
Silver in hand is sharp like a knife
For they are so far away from home
We acknowledge the sacrifices you made, you are not alone
Camouflage painted in green and black
We thank our soldiers for coming back
While the plains fly high in the sky
Our military troops fight, we will never say good by
A lonely road is unforgiven
As Americans, we will lift your burdens
In closing I write this letter for you
In testimony I can’t thank you enough for what you do
Our enemies drew first blood
With Amo and guns, we’ve all had enough
To all those who have fallen hard
We give back with honor a purple heart.
It has been a long journey under the sun
Lay down the violence for it is done
war

Premium Member Confessional

"Hail Mary full of grace"
These words you demand of me
I sit in this dark box
Confessing 
Crying
Talking to a shadow
Eyes that never meet
Untouched by your hand

You say my secrets are safe
I wish to be set free
Yet there is no relief
This is a cold place
A box
The walls close in
I feel no relief from sin
You ask me to begin

Forgive me father
For I have sinned
I have had impure thoughts
I have done things in the dark
The beast has left it's mark

You sit there
Do you understand
You speak softly and demand
Tell me more
Tell me more
Your secrets are safe

Why do you sit there
In the dark
Separated from me
Is it somehow easier to see
I'm sorry
It makes no sense
The wall becomes a fence

In the end we are both just men
We will sin again
Hail Mary's won't be enough
Only God can forgive our stuff
I will talk direct to Him
Through Jesus I can begin
His blood spilled for me
Now I know I am free
Redeemed
Forgiven
Jesus 
Sweet Jesus
It is only him
To whom I confess
The one who paid the price
He cleared my debt

It isn't  mother Mary
Or a man in a robe
Who set me free

So I walk away

Unforgiven

By man

Premium Member Elm Street

Elm Street
 Every town has a haunted house.
 Even driving by a ghost town.
 It’s creepy walking by at night.
 In the broken window is a small candlelight.
 It’s eerie like a scary movie.
 Having frightening dreams always lurking.
 Monsters are staring out the windows.
 They hide behind you in the shadows.
 A lullaby song is in the background.
 Your name is on a tombstone,
 Would you dare to walk in the front door?
 There would be blood on the floor.
 All the rooms are haunted.
 Eyes are watching, your next.
 Hallways are closing in.
 Face your demise, you're unforgiven.
 Put your hand in a blinder.
 With anguish, they smell your fear.
 Enjoy the suffering, you called out their name.
 The boiler room is on flames.
 He lives on, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
 Bring out the knives, Freddie, here's your screams.
 He wears an old hat with a dirty red and green sweater.
 His face is scarred and burned.
 You can’t compromise with the dead.
 Soon you will be laid to rest.
 Embrace the killings, become one of them.
 Through blood you're a shapeshifter.
 Wake up out of the casket.
 In the mirror, put on the mask.
 For this is your calling.
 Bad dreams keep falling.
 You were born to be the bad guy.
 Sit in an electric chair and fry.
 Take revenge on all your enemies.
 Soon they will be at your feet.

Premium Member Theirs No Time For Us

Theirs No Time For Us 
Time is fading away 
So many burdens to carry 
The hour-glass is draining 
Our relationship is dying 
Our bodies are decaying 
Our minds are forgetting 
Our youthful days are gone 
There's no time for us 
We took each other for granted 
We can’t live forever 
So many smiles left behind 
Our love has strained 
Where did all of the time go? 
Time waits for no one 
So many empty spaces 
Words that we should have said 
Under the earth has captured my lost soul 
Theirs no harmony in the dirt 
Theirs no place for the unforgiven 
Bonded in chains, below the darkness 
Where did I go wrong? 
My second chance is gone
