Where Love Never Lived

Look at me, my love
See the way that I love you
Open up your heart
For my love belongs inside
Where love never lived before

A Life Is Not Lived Once

A life is not lived once
But many times over
In the memory.
Perusal of which read
Calender-flipped tells each
Stage of a story.

Premium Member A Lived Heart

‘tis said by some...
Perhaps
  the only way
Man lets   God
  come inside  
be through  the holes and cracks 
  of a lived heart.

I Lived My Life Always In Love

As a fallen dry leaf
  that the wind swept away,
  that's how I carried my life...
   in love and all time long,
   with all  me inside...!

How Life Should Be Lived

Remember your yesterdays 
For they made you who you are 
Live for today
For tomorrow may never come
Dream of tomorrow 
For it makes life better

Man Lived By a River

There was a man who lived by a river
Wasn’t a taker but a giver
Gave away his only vest
Cos his friend was cold and perplexed.
Now all he can do is shiver

Lived In Vain

Dear Emily,

I saw the red robin you mentioned 
in the street today,
since I live in NYC,
how does one actually put a wayward bird back into its nest?

There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe

The old woman in the shoe scandal 
who had those kids, too much to handle.  
Now that they are full grown
and she is home alone, 
she'll down-size to a sandal.

Premium Member she lived her joy

completely abnormal
cartoonist, writer, poet
selfishly abandoned everyone
to make fun for herself
we ran after her gladly
wanting to live in her glowing joy

Premium Member A life never lived

A
lone figure
in an old photo
an apparent life
now gone~
not knowing 
arises as this
lone figure 
which invites
imagination to
write a life
never lived~~

Premium Member Lived My Whole Life Trying To Fit In

I am done with the modern age's version of the rat race.
I'm done forcing myself to fit in just to feel so out of place.
I am choosing to live life at my own specific pace.

Premium Member I Lived Every Time

You automatically came back from ten near deaths every time, 
So why would you want to go through it all so many times?
You cannot escape the life that you are destined to live.

The World We Lived

Died in the arms of cruelty                                                
mummified...                                                                                    
rests in peace

Life lived

Lower Village 
Old Mill road
Drive by salvation
Nailed to a telephone pole 
"Fearful? Truth--will set you free"
Family farm; 1914
Bright clothes
Like prayer flags
Snapping on the wind

Once She Lived

There’s not a more  broken heart than hers,
An abyss of darkness is her soul’s residence, 
All her love’s in vain,she now repents,
The gates of heaven forever closed.

Premium Member A Lady Who Lived In a Song

Written by Gail DeBole
on February 5, 2021

A lady who lived in a song
Sang music to make the world strong.
Her lyrics of love
Oozed melodies that tugged 
At hearts that could do no wrong.

Cast him not in bronze,
Nor sculpt in pottery clay,
Lay down the chisel
Where the marble bust holds sway.

Better to fold paper
In the Origami play,
So when fame has died,
He can quickly blow away.

The Way San Francisco Lived

Who has the bread
and the word, has everything...
But what is left to be complete...?
Some essential things:
share,
 offer,
donate a little of oneself...
So everyone will have everything
in fair portions... !

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: The old woman who lived in a shoe

It's no wonder that old dame knew not what to do,
If she thought she could raise kids alone in a shoe.
She proved after the second
She was overly fecund,
Maybe Mother Goose reckoned she'd have child support, too.
