Short Lm Poems

The voices sang to her
Spectacular yet hollow
The nurse edged the pills towards her
But she liked this better....

tears dry in silence
afraid of dreams cause of fear

contentment to be
freedom to enjoy my day
my way of pure joy

belly laughs and thrills
water park fun temptations
lasting summer sun
the beauty of family
together screams of delight!

love and together
peace for joy, the meal table
inner happiness...

l had given up on hope
Now hope smiles at me
l look in your eyes and l know
That you truly love me
You said you want to be my friend
l want to be your best friend
You said you want to make me happy
l want to give you heaven and anything l'll do for you
lm not afraid to give out my heart
Give me all of you and l promise never to hurt you
You are in every breath l take
And l will always love you...

TEARS IN MY EYES

With tears in my eyes
I”lm stand before his throne
Knowing it’s only Him
That I can lean on

Telling Him from my heart
How I truly feel
With each day that passes
My hope Is to be real

Only by His grace
Do I still have this life
Tears come into my eyes
Thinking of how He paid the price

There’s been many moments
When I haven’t been too wise 
These thoughts come to mind
Bringing tears in my eyes....

"Reality is something you rise above."  Liza Minelli


Friends declare,
“We won’t get very far—
not from this town. That’s just how things are!”

“Don’t you dare
say that!” I scold each time.
“That attitude should be deemed a crime.”

Ban despair
so you’ll be free to see
you can make a new reality.

i hear your voice,i see your face.
Smell your scent,my heart starts to race.
i open my eyes, only to realize it was only a dream.
dreams play with you heart.
dreams tantalize,and give you a start.
dreams tease you into thinking something is real.
until you wake up,and see the real deal.
i only hope that you dream of me too.
for i cant imagine life with out you.
so when we are apart,you have my heart.
i;lm see you in my sleep.
my love dream deep....

lam a madman and my head is spinning
At times it feels like hell even when lm slpeeping
The claws of darkness deep deeply in my burning heart
My soul from me pleads to depart
My head tells me someday my numb lips will smile
And mornings to me will be divine
It rains harder on me then its snowing
In those days l hear God's voice calling 
"Homeless man Homeless man stop your tears from falling"
All the poverty will be gone
Its just a matter of time...

L Milton Hankins has remained the same.
However, the jasmine blooms withered over time.
He searched for his glasses, but where did they hide?
He looked everywhere, but he neglected to check on his head.

Note:

Heartful gratitude goes out to our good friend and poet L.M. Hankins; he has done so much for us and his wonderful character.

l have changed from a girl l used to be
l have lied not to hurt the ones l loved
The wounds are healed l can feel the pain still
l have hid my scars from this world

There are times when l feel like a child
Its like lm relearning to walk the path of life
And l desperatley need someone
Who would understand me take their time to hear

The wind blows at me
I hope you'll hold me close to you 
And tell me l'll be fine
Its all l need right now more than anything else...

Deliver me a Man
not a boy
lm not searching for little patters
down the hall
lm looking for feet up the stairs
Accompanied by a hoarse voice
full of authority and confidence

Deliver me a Man
not a boy
lm not searching for a whiner and complainer
who leans on me for his standing
lm looking for broad shoulder
that know how to lift their own burdens

And yet still still manage to lift me
protect me and provide for me
Deliver me a Man
Not a boy.

TRUTH

              Spiral path of life 
              having black holes to absorb
              strict reality.
              Thirsty desires search success.
               Yearnings seeking perfection.

                Stick to verity
               in variety of choice
              aiming ambition
              reaching goal to glorify.
              Dreams turning reality.
