My father explained it to me this way
“It was like getting on a freight train. There was no getting off,”
Those are the words he used when discussing commitment to my mother you see
I tried to get off the train, but I couldn’t get off
The love and the safety that I felt from your presence was so much better than
The world outside of what we had built which was cold and cruel
We cried, fought, and talked and talked
Yet I still could not get off
How could I get off the train?
The train that we had so carefully crafted together
The train that we had built with our own hands
I simply could not get off
I simply cannot get off
And we will still fight
And we will still cry
We will have problems that have no reason as to why
And I don’t know about you
But I never want to get off
I have reached a point in life,
Where love and hate both subside,
In dilemma I live,
A life with no drill.
One error comes after another,
All the regrets bind me together,
Life seems like a never-ending loop,
Just wondering when I will finally breakthrough.
It’s an issue when I say something,
but also when I don’t.
There’s a problem with when I eat,
but also when I don’t.
Someone always has something to say,
or looks to throw.
No-one looks at what they do,
just at what everyone else does.
L-ove's touch is neverending,
A-lways giving a favor;
N-othing wrong is made,
I-t truly makes no
E-rror.
M-onday twelfth of June
A-ims to meet the sky above;
G-od is there to share
N-everending touch
O-f love.
Neverending learning ends in universal love only
The river wanted to love its own motion
In my hands in a blond and pink nudity
I failed as my strength to hold was poor
I bowed down and went to a little brook
I looked to my image and it said it's okay
Did I cry a little still in the silver raindrops
Could I offer red rose vapour to the brook
I went to the mirror who so nicely smiled
I felt there were further pantoums to read
Further mountains to look for and explore
I sat before an afternoon, blue absorption,
Silence, shadows, twitters in the bushes
Music of daybreak and taps on my thought
I answered to find sincere quests never end
Just then a nightingale sang out in a thrill
October 15//2027
E-verlasting life in heaven
S-hows the Almighty's love;
T-o attain the glorious gift,
R-emain faithful in God above.
E-verlasting life in heaven
L-ets one trust and obey;
L-earn to follow God's will
I-n order to be saved.
T-ry to be submissive to the Lord God's command;
A-llow His words to lead you toward the promised land.
D-ay sixteen in June morn,
O-ne dawn begins to shine;
L-ong night is just over,
L-ight in the sky is fine.
E-verlasting life in heaven
N-ever offers ache and pain;
T-ears and sorrow are gone,
E-ternal bliss we shall gain.
A-lmighty's promise is true,
S-alvation is drawing near;
U-ntil the end of time,
N-othing but joyful tear.
C-all on the merciful Father,
I-n faith we must not weaken;
O-n judgment day we'll receive
N-everending life in heaven.
I trust "nothing,"
with all my being.
I have shared every dirty, pure, forsaken secret with "no one,"
even when they aren't hearkening to every single drip of my icy song.
Because "nothing,"
and "no one,"
are there when I fall.
When I fail.
When my true colors show,
and my lies,
become mistaken for intentions.
Always have,
always will,
until you arrive to make me breathless.
Stealing my breath,
like a flower in the midst of the naked trees,
and blanket of frozen tears we know as,
Winter.
Finding my smile in the darkness of the frigid containment inside me,
Drying the frozen tears,
until they rush through my veins,
in a form of love which is forbidden,
and frigid as my then blackened soul,
I believed in no one.
I still do.
Every day.
Because my no one,
Is you.
Up there in the sky in the blue blue sky I fly up and up and up through the clouds past the stars.
To a neverending universe sinking slowly
it seems my thoughts about being a sentient being were right
i have all the strength to do what i want but i dont fight
i feel my fate fading i dont understand its degrading
Death apart of life a force so strong a force so amazing
How do i fight something so fierce when im fraying?
the longer i wait the more time im paying
There are times,when I can get too serious,
unrelenting,I suppose is my characteristic fashion.
but,venting in such a manner,is better than becoming furious,
especially when there's nothing but, jukin'n jivin,duckin'n dashin',
all for the sake of,"the gimmegoogoos",goggling,
drooling'n strolling for their next bamboozling...
Supposing that we all have our own version of importance,
we'll continue this dance of guffaws,along with the present tense...
Falling
Will this ever end?
Desperate to get out
Someone to save me
Complete darkness
Walls wet, damp
Body bruised
It seems like it'll never end
This is my confession
I need someone to help me
To catch me when I fall
To pull me out of this descent
Wondering if, when it'll end
If I could find the source of your words
I would trace the lips of their creation
With the sweetness of a cool, delicious melon
On a hot summer day
And quench their thirst
With the nourishment
Of my neverending gratitude.
With the succulent dispensation
Of the honeycomb
I would whisper my requital
As soft-tongued salutation
Coursing the path
To the fountain of your expression
And bathing in your wellspring
Inundate myself with your gracious gift
And repeat with whole heart and self
My neverending, neverending gratitude.
Shattered dreams resonate within her mind.
Filling her heart with hate;
Knowing that prayers are too late
and nothing can change her fate....
(2009)
Well it’s another dreary night alone
And they just won’t leave, stop bugging me.
Invading, lurking, and playing games
Trivial thoughts of life haunting me
I just wish they would stop and be gone.
Can’t seem to get them to go away
Always circling my aching mind
Never resting, always lingering
Would you please help me find a way?
Please go away and quit dancing.
O what can they want?
Who are they? Why mess with me?
All I want is peace and serenity.
What can I do? Where can I go?
Please help. Please. You’re driving me crazy!
I never meant for this to go on.
Am I ever going to get rid of you?
I know. I know. You are my friend
But please help me loosen the screws.
Let me sleep. Please leave me alone!
