Short Reason To Stay Poems

Languorous morning
soft sensuous kiss
reason to stay forming
work will be missed

i walk away
with no reason to stay
my love in your hand
and your mine
but my hand are free
your stance asks
me to take
what can only be given
and i see
you could never love...
me...

Rowing down the river
in a paper made boat
with a tear and a shiver
going down my throat
I just think of you in fever
while I travel this road
you my angel and my giver
my reason to stay afloat.

~We Are Family ~

Baby robins fly the nest
  Young fish swim away
Baby bucks soon sprout antlers
  No reason to stay...

Human parents are spoiled
  Our babies do not stray
They stick around for years
  ~ A price we gladly pay...

Her dream of falcon, flamingo and furious things
Persuaded a parade of ideas indicating bird sings
A prancing parakeet provides a penguin’s sweet play
A clock in the shadows give her more reason to stay
Inside a dream where she is safe from the world
Ideas are tucked in close, until later unfurled....

Help
I've fallen and I can't I can't get up
Not literally but mentally
I'm falling further down

Help
I'm fading away
I have no reason to stay
Lost more and more each day
I'm fading into nothing

Help
I was falling but i hit the bottom
Now i'm fading
Slowly dieing away

Falling to Fading...

What does one do when a soulmate's love dies?
What does one do when there's no spark in their eyes?
What does one do when so full of loss?
What does one do when their loyalty is tossed?
what does one do when love fades away?
what does one do when there's no reason to stay?

I suppose one leaves.........

Hands softened by diesel oil
Strengthened by daily toil
Scarred by physical work
Lie helpless while they talk
Softly of time and age and
The shifting of life's sand
The artisan listens sadly
Sixty years so badly wanted
Fifty nine years are granted
His life ends that terrible day
He has no reason to stay....

I want to explore a new
way I hope you will take
me to a better place 
I'm sick of where this hurt
in my heart has brought
me tell me no more lies
I can't believe in false
truths any longer deserve 
so much more if you say
you love me don't leave me broken 
give me a better reason to stay
I don't want another reason to run...

whispering softly
as time slips away
looking for meaning
a reason to stay

lost in a memory
torn by a dream
wishing tomorrow
was all that you deem

finding no answers
within empty thought
taking and giving
and living distraught

never a question
without rationale
no simple expression
while living in hell

written 10.22.2016...

There may be no reason to remember

but there is no reason to forget 


There may be no reason to laugh

but there is no reason to cry 


There may be no reason to stay

but there is no reason to move on 


There may be no reason to talk

but there is no reason to stay silent 


There may be no reason to love

but there is no reason to not love...

You saw through me--
When nobody understood me.
You were able to see the real me.
You brought light back to my days.
You gave me a reason to stay.
You never gave up hope or stopped--
caring when others did.
You took me out of the darkest--
corners of my mind.
No one can ever be so kind to me like you.
Am I just dreaming or is this true?
I'm just glad that I have YOU!!!...

Though I am weak
Though I am doubtful
I give you control
Because I know you can save
Jesus let justice prevail
Give me a reason to stay
Let the weight of every curse
Be brought to death
Let the sail be risen
Let the ground shake
Let your name forever be glorify
You are resurrected
You have overcome
You are King
Hallelujah
Father you are wonderful
Imaginable, graceful, holy,
Peaceful, Kind, Righteous and Powerful....

The winds of today affect all tomorrows
As the sands on the shore are changed today
Throw to the winds any and all sorrows
Knowing your change will prompt the new way

Giving you hope, your reason to stay

Allowing new light to blot out the darkness
Exposing the truths you’ve been waiting to see
What used to be dull is now seen with sharpness
For the light there to guide, offers clarity

Giving you now, your reason to be...

Come and get it I have some breaking news!
You really need to get here right away,
this development quickly made my day; 
It may just set off your internal fuse 
careful the fire you do not overuse;
Run don’t walk there is no time to delay
come and get it! 
Rebuilding with leftover residues 
your future can be changed starting today!
That alone gives you a reason to stay; 
Sparing a moment you really can’t lose;
Come and get it!...

Woman A and Woman B
Woman A speaks about Woman B
Don’t know what she sees in her husband for the life of me
I run in to the bathroom and meet Woman B
Woman A needs a day off, without delay she says if you ask me.
She is losing it; the funny farm will soon be part of her day.
I bolt as soon as I do my business, no reason to stay.
Best friends after work, A and B leave hand in hand.
I keep my mouth shut, not relishing this kind of quick sand....

We never used to fight, we used to get along
When I’m with you I always feel like I belong
But now it seems like all we ever do is fight
We can never decide who is wrong or right
You always seem to be picking a fight with me
How about we both just agree to disagree
Whatever happens-whatever we chose to do-
The one thing I don’t want to do is lose you
I’m not gonna give up, I know there will be better days
My love for you is my only reason to stay...

solitary slope whispers below
by the vernacular aphonic
with a fierce wind and unbiased rock

bucolic vibe is ponderous
It's chameleon patois
In schizoid iridescence and fluffy sky

I decipher everything
while trudging uphill as blind
Into the mouth of irrational tempest
no reason to stay here

as haze covers the sky
crows excel at tracing the white trail....

Do You See It
 the Pain she trys to hide the hurt deep inside her longing eyes as
she fakes a smile  you think she's ok but  she feels like she's dying inside
she seeks a reason to stay on earth a reason to go on
she seeks the answers she cannot find  she has a beautiful heart she can't hide she cry's in silence no one sees her she begins to fade into pieces because what she seeks she cannot find she's hurting deep inside and no one can save her from her pain she just wants to hide...

Peroxide blonde and covered in petals,
Bleach kills flowers - She’s less softener than metal
A body rooted in pride, trying to run, Jackal and hide. 
There’s some double entendres, catch them if you can,
There’s something about her, try to find it, you’ll both be damned. 
To Cinderella she’s her own step sister,
Crying out for love, afraid of those who’d listen.
Just someone out there longing for a cause in existence,
Just someone out there, longing for a reason to stay persistent...

As I wake every morning to the sound of no you
My heart falls away.
I need you in my arms
My life
My soul has no reason to stay
Youll never know how much I love you
Youll never see your place in my heart
Youve touch me like only angel could
This is not your fault
I still dream about you every day
and wish to have you in the worst way
But we are so far apart.
So as I lie down tonight I think only of you
Your smile and your love
has made me a foul.

Your smile has made me.

You...
