To Rewind or Pause Life
Most people are confused as to which one
Others may want to try it out just for fun
If there's any pain involved either one could hurt
Correcting any mistakes that we want to revert
Who in there right mind wouldn't want to rewind the good times
To meditate on the good things and taking stress off our minds
The pause button would be good for making a decision
The world can be an audience with your life on television
By pressing rewind we would all get a do over
Giving our drunken minds a chance to think sober
Both of these words can't win because its an equal fight
That's why we don't have the option to Pause or Rewind life
Things doesn’t go the way we want,
They go the way we do for it.
Results I got harsh, which I can’t,
Future happens according to one’s did.
Was a larva tried hard and hard to rest,
But am a butterfly which could not fly.
Understood the assignment after just,
The results came out, can’t time just rewind.
The Truth
The way I feel
For years our love was a thought
No true nor false
Lies the whole time
Love wasn’t there
You cheated everywhere
We had two different storms
Your rage was Thunder
My understanding was flashes of lightning
Kingdom that came alive
I was used a puppet only stringing along
My love was true and committed
You on the other hand was looking for an opportunity
You blew it like a flat tire
You weren’t the man I thought
I too was sleeping around
I found someone who loves me for me
Step back as you are no longer who I want to see
Every verbal word you attempted was recorded and accorded for
Your hidden heart brought out the truth
You deserve to be on a curve
You are getting what you truly deserve
Get out of my house and life
My mind is clear
I don’t want you near
I am not your dear
I have no fear
A new day in my life has turned into a new chapter
You no longer matter
Get Out
What won't I give to live back the moment life was true and real,
To witness the moments love was so sure and pure,
To witness the moments hugs and kisses were void of fake and sincere,
To call you by the pet names, once whispered, and held so dear.
To live again the nostalgia of our whispered conversations,
To read our letters, penned with care, they now call snail mail,
To tell you all these things, in person, one last time,
I'd give it all, just to be with you again, and rewind.
Acid splash on jeans,
a soft smile starts to tremble.
Rewind with the rain.
The corner video store
With the neon lights,
Was the place to be
On Friday nights ...
Only black VHS tapes
In clear, plastic cases,
Lined the 'HORROR' sections
Of my favorite places
From left to right ...
Up and down the walls,
There were bloody fangs
... And killer dolls
Aliens and dinosaurs
Monsters on the prowl,
Giant sharks terrorize
Wild, werewolves howl
Next to white masked men
Hungry zombies run amok,
If my favorite's already gone
... Then, I'm out of luck
Demons and busted ghosts
Wicked witches casting spells,
Vampires and psychos
Dark houses and hotels
Wire rack rentals of ...
Haunted cars and T.V.'s,
Eventually, I'd take my pick
And then, go pay the fees
With a sack of popcorn
For three days I'd slouch,
Against the biggest pillow
On the end of our couch
The whole house was dark
But, the T.V. screen shined,
Back in the days ...
Of "Be Kind. Rewind."
Unfinished business, it's causing me distress,
A connection so strong, yet full of stress.
Speaking through glances, so hard, I’m dead,
Harder because I can’t get through to your head.
If only I had been a little braver,
I could have made "something" into a matter.
Even if your heart belonged to another,
It’s your love that I am after.
But now it's too late, there is no rewind,
A dream left a dream, difficult to find.
It feels like an ending, a love never begun,
Just "what ifs" and regrets under the setting sun.
You'll never know the pain I feel inside,
As I lost somebody, my love needs to hide.
Although I know that you already know,
We’re both playing blind,
Yet I’m the only one in sorrow.
The clock shows eight and,
I wish it was only six.
Wanted something in my hand
To rewind the time and fix.
Morning leads to afternoon,
Evening led me to see moon.
Wanted to hide it by tricks,
To rewind the time and fix.
The desire remained same,
Clock moved forward and time just came.
Wanted to freeze it up to six,
To rewind the time and fix.
O the mind,
Are we all blind,
What of destiny,
How do we find,
Creating a path,
Confusing is half,
Sleep seems best,
All get to rest,
Responsibility the test,
Dream to manifest.
Flow of life moves on
Like songs on the radio.
No hitting rewind.
Only occassionally
Hear it again time to time.
"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..."
Quote by _Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Time rewind, loving touch of my mother
Snatched away by the remorseless fangs of time
That also did sadly smother, camaraderie with my brother
Ah, no matter, memory has now sounded it's mystical chime
Misty eyed I recall tender moments of childhood treasured
As through serpentine arduous pathways of life, l climb
How may pristine love and innocence be measured
Heart free from malice, childhood days were so carefree
By grace, feeling no angst or anger, when for faults censured
It was then during childhood years, that my joyous soul was free
I now oft try to rekindle those cherished moments in my mind
Vicariously however, dependent upon my fading memory
As I now flounder about through life, love bereft and spiritually blind
I yearn to resurrect the magic of blissful love and joy, left far behind

Theme: Memory
Inspired by Constance La France’s contest
Déjà vu, resounds it's chime,
an eerie pulse at this time,
replayed in the here and now,
as tranquil soul takes a bow.
The play of life we behold,
at soul level is foretold,
so if we be nonchalant,
ego becomes decadent.
Tranquil mindful eye recalls
fate on earth that now befalls
to gently feel and release,
each offered impulse with ease.
If we're still we get to know,
vibrant soul's ever aglow
and what's here now manifest,
but a mere life test in jest.

Play your favorite instrument
Sing and dance with glee (rewind)
All your worries flee
Play your favorite instrument
Metal or glass, nylon or plastic
Hard or soft, anything elastic
Play your favorite instrument
Sing and dance with glee (rewind).
'Foggy' location seeds were from, curiosity won
Five months later, wanderer from roof tall trellis hung
Violet globe pods were bitter but oddly addictive
Several dozen daily dose, sour juice inflicted
Soon supplied smoothie zing, purple milk vibrant
Irresistible, the youth inducing effect they provided
A year after planting, I'd positively lost ten
Face entering wrinkle free twenties again!
Friends amazed by results of youth fruit blessed
After eighteen short months, I appeared adolescent
Freely sharing my vivacious treacherous discovery
From her desirable rewinding hand, no recovery
Benjamin Button's slow motion journey ridiculed
- My eight year old routinely tucks me into bed!!

I didn't know I could feel
Or open my soul and reveal
All these emotions, so real
To you, my fire, my zeal.
If only I could rewind this reel
And relive our moments, so surreal
As these words onto your lips, I seal,
And you, for eternity, away I steal.
