What goes up
must come down
But can it go back up again?
Hope so, when --
your jaw drops, my friend
life is just
a series
of ups
and downs
I keep looking
for the UPS
but those darn
brown trucks
always pass
me by.
The elevator of life
opening and closing of door's
at each level
not knowing what to expect
sheer joy of discovery
of the higher self.....
Life is filled with ups and downs
But smiles usually outweigh the frowns
There will be a plus
Forget all the fuss
Think happy and wear a pretty gown
The man in the elevator, alas!
Struck a small talk with a lady of class.
Was dealt a bad card,
Was sucker-punched hard -
Dared to ask if she will go down, badass!
What drives us is towards better gain,
but there’s winning; losing and some pain,
so when on life’s highway,
if it all comes your way
then at times you’re in the wrong lane.
Some consider they pen perfect poems -
me, I just write about poop!
I'd win the No Bull Poetree prise butt speelling is knot my forty!

Flaws and scores
Less and more
Foes and pals
Toils and malls
Walls and doors
Ceilings and floors
Joyrides and loads
Woods and roads
There’s never a pause
That is how life goes
Life's ups and downs, smiles and frowns
All part of living, as the world goes round
Patience my friends
All's good in the end
Good stuff's coming around the very next bend
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Processing grief is an overwhelming process
of momentous highs and lows -
which can bring the joy of a wonderful
memory and the next moment
brings the lows of the crushing loss
but HOPE shows itself as life continues
Though we have our ups and downs
On this path of life
Through happiness and sadness,
Harmony and strife
We come good from path we stood
On a levelled plane
With built in feelings for all dealings,
To withstand again...
I remember the sun shining bright
I remember the world seeming right
I remember ominous clouds of grey
I remember the illusion melting away

At the beginning it is slow
Speeding up
Like the fastest fighter jet ever
Faster
Faster
Screaming
Twisting Turning
Flying Soaring
Endless ups and downs
Anticipation of an end
Finally the ends has come
Why don’t we give it another go
yes p.d.
ups n downs and ins n outs, of personality,
love n hate and inward shouts,
of fires that burn with no one about,
though love be pure insanity,
discolored be the vanity,
shut up johnson its your shout:)
don't tango with humanity...

When I am down ~
down ~
down ~
You lift me
up ~
up ~
And when you’re down ~
down ~
down ~
I lift you
up ~
up ~
Together we lean on each other,
Together we are one.
Together, happiness is ours ~
I love you.
A W.C.Hull Poem© 2003-6-9-651(D)
open heart
willing hands
happiness abounds
maniacal feelings
lithium helps
sheer sadness now
high on life
whizzing around room
love for strangers
cutting begins
worthless feelings
life seems hopeless
joyfulness out of bounds
entertaining love for life
falling to doom
Smiles
for fun
cuddly pets
falling in love
small children trying things for the first time
When I see someone treated unfairly
war and hunger
unshed tears
make me
frown
"First Place" win !

Today is dark.
No-more communicating with my friend.
A Divorceis happening.
I am the woman on the outside now.
I Fast and Pray for comfort.
I do not feel different.
Still sad, withdrawn, and alone.
Life seems to be stopped.
I look towards the future when I have healed completely,
both inside and out.
Form:
My thoughts are caught on a cattle grid
Tractor tyres rumble over my ideas
The farmer's wife's bosom holds all the secrets
To an emporium of scent and voluptuous spheres
The bell rings for dinner and the daylight dimmers
The cows are a lowing and the z's climb for the clouds
It's night time in the Sussex Downs
Rainy thoughts
Flow like the cold of a closed mind
Pouring down with little meaning
Over coming is the least worry
Just pick up
A center staged story
Giving keys to a new making
Gather the sun
For the health charm
Healing
Crowds are not needed
Brain waves included
Path sending suited
(Spare Moment)
It doesn't matter what you look like
It doesn't matter what you feel
All that matters is where it lands
when you spin the wheel.
Where the blood splatters and
and finally congeals;
perhaps out back, in your garden.
The neighbors would say:
'but he was so genteel...'
Onerous is the duty
of knowing what's real.
A hand to hold,
A lover to adore,
A friend to cherish,
There's nothing more.
A love that hurts,
A heart that aches,
A soul that's lost,
Unwanted keepsakes.
A burning passion,
A heartfelt desire,
A lifetime of love,
Full of fire.
A child to protect,
A precious gift,
A life to treasure,
Spirits lift.
She picks herself up
after bumping into a sharp edge.
Another kid might have
wailed out loud, she only shrugs -
nevertheless
runs to me for comfort.
I want to protect her from the hard stuff,
she’s going to crash into a lot of hard stuff.
There must be a spell to keep her safe,
I need her to teach me it,
help me figure us out.
I navigate through the portal of life
Walk past the corridors
Where light and shadows play
Welcoming each twist and turn
Accepting the ups and downs
Guiding my path to my destiny
Facing life's storms
With fortitude and resilience
Crafting me into who I am
The echoes of the past
Reverberates across the hallway
Where the past and present meet
Beautiful boy you must listen here
Your on a journey never to fear
Deep in your eyes I see them so new
Your condition affects others like you
Beautiful boy your now but a stray
I wish you love each and every day
To wish you were mine is true to my heart
Now your loved we can now depart
Bye bye beautiful boy may your dreams stay
I hope we get the chance to re-unite another day
