Premium Member SOMETIMES SOMETIMES COMES

Sometimes in things that happen
In happenings things
Those circumstances
Happenstances
Sometimes may make you cringe
~
When the sun goes round
Offen times apparents somethings 
Sometime sometimes comes down
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of unseen 
You don't have to see it, to believe it
~
With your EyEs gate
Because unseeness is real
Yet when the clouds comes faith
And then the rains falls feels
All is focus maybes comes
~
Sometimes in things that happen
In happenings things
Those circumstances
Happenstances
Sometimes may make you cringe
~~~~~
The unknown is known, hasn't happen yet
Sometimes sometime comes God's blesses

SO BE THERE

So be there


SO BE THERE
TO KNOW MY LOVE FOR YOU AT THE LAST SUNSET
TO KNOW YOUR HEART AND GUT FEELINGS FOR THEY RIDE TOGETHER FOR CARNIVALS OFFEN
MAYBE STILL CONFUSED ABOUT OUR LOVE 
WHICH ROLLS MORE THAN THE WHEELS RIDES ON MY NEARBY CHILDREN PLAYGROUND 
SO BE THERE FOR MORE OR NO MORE OF US 
WELL THAT  WOULD DO .......

Premium Member Misery---

MISERY---


Upon my knee;
I pray for relief;
I feel the pangs and pains;
...of misery

Offen my eyes shed tears;
Tears that run towards my ears;
Found in those fears;
Engulfing me in shear...misery

Compelling me;
In a state of accomplish anxiety;
Premature human depravity;
I state feelings of great distress;

Hardships anguish tormented angst;
I pray for relief;
I feel the pangs and pains;
...of misery

My sin place me in my own distress and discomfort;
Pains brought on by my bad choices
Afflictions, misfortune; 
Sorrow's burdens;

Hardships tribulation;
Runs amok through the nations;
Humanity torment melancholy;
Unrighteous low spirits;
Sorrow burdens woe
I feel the pangs and pains;
...of misery

Premium Member Resting Before Bed

Rest Before Bed
I burnt the coffee
Brown the bread
Stirring offen
While in bed
Read the book
Watching it on TV
While drinking Lipton Tea
Closed ranged
Brown the sound
Now imaged in my brain 
Those violent scenes
Running upside down
Bound by detention
Oh! my did mention
I offen
Have toasted wheat bread
While drinking hot tea
Reading a book watching television
......... watching what's on Seinfeld

Little Redhaired Girl

Little Red Haired Girl 

 There is felling you get- when you meet- the right one.
      It's hard to explain and even harder to fight.
        So scarey for some they offen take flight.
   At some point in life we all start to break down,
    for all it is different,due to all that surrounds.
   I was told of the butterflies,that flew inside you,
    and I want you to know their inisde me too.
   There's a feeling for most who experience love.
    a feeling of fear or of need, to be loved.
   So long ago when my hair still brown,
   We'd jump on a bus and ride around town.
    Just kids, we were both, with so much to learn.
   before seperate lives and bridges to burn.
  I never forgot when you looked in my eyes.
   never was good at telling you lies.
  Now time it has marched escaping us both.
  and hopefully it slows as our paths have crossed.
   And maybe We'll see what we  could have now lost
         RJM 2013      
  for You, Linda

Immortality

We offen do ponder the birds that will fly, the ground at our feet, the sun in the sky.
 Lies like rocks, we cast in the pond, the larger the stone, the more chaos is shown.
  Much like the tracks we leave in the dirt, that soon will be blown right from this earth
  The day that it comes, thy sunset receds, don't fear what proceeds, nor fall to your knees.
The birds that will fly far from the nest, thy memories shall grant them comfort and rest.
 In this we do see how free we can be, and in that we are granted, immortality.
