Onwards Poems


Onwards on the Race of Life

My heart flutters when you’re near,
Onward on the race of life;
No one knows if you’ll be mine.

Another year passes by,
Morning to dusk every time,
Onward on the race of life,
Umbrella of yours, hiding us from the,
Rain of time.

Seas could not match my blue, but
Arisen by you in me, your
Ruby hues,
Thank you for saying that you admired me,
Hopefully that lasted and you haven’t forgotten me;
An abyss in which I lie,
Kindle a fire, so we shall not freeze in the darkness of the
night.

I imagine a life with you, then without,

Lest, I lose you or you go on a different route,
Onward on the race of life;
Velvet you lips are, and your soul an,
Esther in my eyes.

You looked at me that day, in your eyes a feeling I could not
place;
Onward on the race of life;
Umbrella in your hand and in your other, mine.

Onwards The Brave

If today feels a struggle,
Just to rise out of bed,
Only to return to it later,
Unable to control your chaotic head.

It's no good beating yourself up,
To feel more anxious and sad,
Remember we do whatever we can,
To cope when feeling mentally bad.

There's only ever twenty-four hours,
In each and every single day,
So if today feels extra hard,
Tomorrow is always a new day.

I hope one day you find,
That peace and calm you crave,
The show must always go on,
You'll get there, onwards the brave.

So much I wish to do
But to myself I must always be true
Stepping above self doubt I feel
Close my eyes my nerves become steel
Just mustering up the will
So far I wish to go
So much I wish to know
First step is all it will take
A new life you could make
Meeting head on any fear
A open heart means an open ear
Daring to find your own way
In the robotic world of today
On different they frown 
Put you down
Hard to step from
Bur still , so far I have come
Past the well from which I started
Kept going when all hope had parted
The fire
That fuels my desire
To reach ever hire
Burns deep
Even times I weep
Don't know 
Still I go
Onwards 
Fowards
Blazing my own trail
Can't fail. 
Time will tell

The Times They Are Yet Still a Changing and Moving Onwards

Cometh the end of each and every 
December

January so to with it as well bringeth a 
new year to start a fresh once all over
again 

And though the time and date and 
solar winds may change

The seasons somehow however never seemingly do

The sky is still just as blue as the sun
is red grass is green as is the night
tinged in black

Just as like when spring and summer
eventually return and dawn

Denote it's time to pack away our
winter warming clothes into the
back of our closets and cupboard
draws

That unless we truly feel within and
inside our head and heart's 

A certain individual kind of love 
and caring does reside that warms
us dearly

Then matter's not the time or season
place or age

Tomorrow they will be no more richer or
poorer 

If nothing changes and everything remains

Issuances

ISSUANCES
MY DAD SAID I REFUSED TO GO...
TO JOIN THE AIR FORCE...
BUT I HAD TOO MUCH 
 IN MY HEAD
AS I DO TODAY

AND THE SAME ME
ONLY I CAN DEAL WITH I
SO DO I DO IT OR NOT???
SLAY THIS BEAST WITHIN
DEFEAT IT WITH CREATIVITY

WRITING CAREER SINCE 96
TATTOOED SINCE 91
DRINKING SINCE 83
HIKING SINCE 75

IN MY HEAD IT'S NEVER ENUFF
WOMEN DO NOT 
EVEN GET A MENTION...

Onwards

When you reminisce on me
Don’t look on our memories in sadness
But be happy for everything we shared together
And be happy, for I’ve gone on

Life hurt
But life also made me happy
Life made me smile

So I hope you remember me
And smile
And I hope you go on with life
And keep smiling

Onwards Poetical Writers

Onward, poem writers, writing as to a book,
With the words of intelligence leap before you look;
A sonnet, the royal rhyme, leads against the prose;
Forward into phrases see what words your mind goes!

Not to write about God or Allah or Jesus or Mohammed or Buddha,
Not even about mythology or the bearer of Vishnu, Garuda.

Write about simple things like love;
But do not mention The God Almighty who lives above.

Do not slam people, do not take the piss
Cause the snakes will come out and they bloody hiss.

Onward poetical writers
Be anything except fighters,
Do not write about passions
Not even about sexual emotions.

If you do you get a slap on the bum,
because remember one plus one makes an awful sum.

Led up the garden path
                                                He went down memory lane

Gravel crushed in his mind
       Wilting grass came to light
              Lightening loads on heavy shoulders
                 
                            Stones turned foot print’s sand
                    Over longing time and place
              Quick became slow exposed reality
                                
                                             Acceptance flowed of novel beginnings
                            Journeys paved luscious plot recovered

Onwards Men,Victory

Onwards men 
Let us succumb 

Like a lion with its pride  
We shall certainly play our prey 

Off we March
Into the fray 

Hold your rifles to your heart 
Squeeze and muzzle out your fears 


Hold the line
Let's reunite 

Release the gas of integrity 
Let our quarry   bleed in peace 

Out from no-mans land to the Isle of doom
The Pen will prevail us lasting victory 


Onwards men
Let us succumb 

Such are swarm of locusta
We'll devour to all ends 

Down we go
Cradle your Spears 

Invoke the senses of your being
Crush, destroy no confessing defeat

Out beyond  the missiles range through the cordoned plane
We Hum a hymn, our salvations whistle 

Onwards men
Round up the troops

Sound the cymbal and it's tears
We shall taunt our ears with courage 

Drop those shields 
Vibrate your throats 

Far and wide we'll spread these tales
Historical legends they'll bathe in our eminence 

Far to the darkest dreads into the deepest trenches
We'll bare the boast and eternal throngs of peace

Onwards
A paralysis of my mind at seeing a ship on her side,                                                                             nearly level with the sea.                                                                                                                       

Lights on, people still aboard, one journey they never finished.                                                                                                                           Now just historical facts that so few know.                                                                                                 

What would the world think?                                                                                                                           I’d not want to be aboard that ship that night.

Graveyard and Forever Onwards

a  graveyard is a home for some,
only few regularly come,
and keep their eternal devotion to that one,
others may collapse from grief and away run,

I know deep inside they fear the graveyard,
But is visiting the dead that hard?
they can't help but avoid their relatives' death bed,
they gulp the grief instead,
and that emotion is left for them to shred,
but why fear what's dead?
for them it's the only way to carry on,
their people  haunt them even after they've gone,

after the dead mans' last word is said,
and their last drop of blood is bled,
and it's now clear that the dead can only stay dead,
all that's left of the life they lived, is the memory in the people left behind,
their life cannot be forgotten, but don't visit to seem kind,
but to think back to your days with them and thank and love them for all you've passed,
in you there's still part of them, as there'll always be, as will grief which will not pass fast,

Tiny bits of beauty
I seem to florish
Showered acts of piety
I am mold and polished

Experience I have enough
Gosh! How it teach me allot
Even life is that so tough
Still it didn't stop me to laugh

Here in this arid land
I learned things beyond
Things I was once never do
Here to keep up, I need too

Indeed it's been a great journey..
There are so many worries
So much so are the stories
Then again it is a part of my life history

I'm looking forward
Determined always to move onward
With one foot step affront
I am more prepared for a staunt..
