At dusk they arise
Confused at the colour of the sky
People of the night 
With no understanding of what is right
Night games is what they play
Reliving life like groundhog day

If you can breath?
   Then you can live
        If you can feel?
             Then you can give
                  If you can be free?
                       Then you can forgive

Our lost love's ghost still lingers
As I try to start anew
I ask an anonymous God with templed fingers
for strength to get me through
I know what I must do

Faded dreams come back
                                          stars are reborn, paths reworn
                                           slip your shoes back on

Who is Sadie Hawkins?
Why is she so famous?
All about the girls ask boys
In conversation between us.
I wonder what it would be
To have my name remembered instead of me.
Of course no one in their right mind would ever.
Call a social even Violet J. Magee....

Hard to have faith in everlasting love
the credibility of
a white dress and white dove

A world where so few stay faithful, stay true
Just know it's true, I love you
eternally, "I do"

My eyes are still closed
I can not look at loves lure
Please just look away

Don't tempt me to feel
I've got so little to give
I look, you're still there

Your eyes rescue mine
 I'll be the artist of love
and you, my canvas

Of all Things to Remember-Nicole Hawkins-Eric

                                  Of all things to remember
                                    It will not rain forever
                              In due time the stars will shine
                                     We'll see together

TEMPTATION

    There once was a man, who came from Connaught,
    Who followed all the rules, that he was taught.
    But on one, St. Patrick's day,
    To be sure, was led astray.
    With the Devil to pay, when he was caught.

    2 / 27 / 2021.

September is the beginning 
of something new
That second hand breeze that reminds you of summer
but that smell of something different
seasons are changing, 
It makes me wonder if I'm changing
Are the leaves changing color from falls grace
or to symbolize a greater change?
Another chance to make it right.
To make it beautiful.

At the Kruger National Park, an elephant carcass, predators dine at same time,
Lions and vultures devouring their foul find, a scorching sun, predator’s clime.




‘CLIME’ means a region with reference to its climate – Kruger park mostly hot, sometimes scorching

Please try not to lose hope
In these difficult times
Read some of the other poets' beautiful rhymes
These will give your heart a lift
Your worries and concerns will take short shrift
If you can read some every day
They're sure to blow your blues away
I would like to thank P S
For helping to relieve my stress

     Thank You, Poetry Soup has been a great help to me

Taylor Hawkins: Foo-Fighters 

Yesterday my heart was broken
to news which I’d awoken
Such a tragedy and untimely loss  
And now a new road you cross
Your musical spirit and infectious laughter 
will live on with all of us forever after 

All shouting: Condolences to your family
Thoughts are with you, 
An iconic drummer
Rest In Beats!
1972-2022

Keep technology
but bring back the old values
of those former years-
when love of God and country,
respect, pride, and honor ruled.

Bring back old values
of family, friends, church, school,
solid like they were-
with new tech and old values,
we'd have the best of both worlds.

I feel like sl-lit,
i wanna flip.
Let my words rip,
come take a sip.

My phone keeps on ringing,
its chesney hawkins singing.
I get this scary feeling,
she's gönnä nail me for stealing.

I look at the sealing,
wish i knew what was the meaning.
I must start to pray,
every single day.

I'm smoking myself to death,
i need to take a deep breath.
Please don't make me fall,
i don't wanna end it all....

I call them my angels of the freeway -

the three good Samaritans that I met.

Seeing me stranded, each stopped right away.

I call them my angels of the freeway.

Changing a tire for me, how kind were they!

Three times I’ve been rescued and I’ll not forget.

I call them my angels of the freeway -

the three good Samaritans that I met.

The bottle, empty lays dying in her hand
Half empty, half full who cares its in demand
On the face of it her friends seem to care
But turn her back and she better beware
Cider, spirits being exchanged as if gold
Rollies, cigarettes ready to be sold
The next fix is sat on the corner down the way
But with no money, it will be hard to pay
Services exchanged with rates of pay agreed
The drugs will always win, time to concede

Inside every colour of skin
There flows a river of red.
Inside every river of thoughts
There binds a piece of mind.
Inside every piece of mind
There blows a stroke of soul.
Inside every stroke of soul
There falls the hands of God.



This is inspired from Shirley Hawkins poem Darkness and Light...
