Tragedy

I have had my share of happy endings
But I would be lying if I said
That I wasnt truly, madly, deeply, 
Hopelessly in love with tragedies

Help

...      Help

        Serve
        facing
      tragedies
       facilitate
          aid.

Premium Member To These Times

Today
time took time
to think;

Then truth
took thinking time
to task;

Testing teasing themes
that today taught;
trouncing telltale tragedies.

Rise Above

Life tragedies, pain 
Wretchedness, gloom, and sorrows
Those destroy man’s joy.

Hidden Tragedies

Ravens, 
A touch of black,
A deep voice it’s using, 
It appears when there’s misfortune,
Lurking.

Violation Is the Common Cause

All men on earth experience problems. 
The sources of their heavy load 
are the hardship, illnesses, 
troubles, and tragedies. 
In this world it's true 
that humans can't 
avoid the 
pain in 
life.

Premium Member Reality Concept

real tragedies...
are not from some right and wrong...
but from just two rights...

it is rational...
actual realities...
clashing in concept...

truth experience...
reality dynamics...
pure chance...no reason...

Premium Member Anger, a Deadly Sin

Angry people hurt
Living heart-felt tragedies
Sometimes reliving them too
Over and over
Anger is really sadness
No one is truly angry

Death Rhymes

Death is a part of life,
Nusery rhymes are scary,
Tragedies cost lives,
A thousand killed daily! 

Tomorrow unknown finds,
Today beating deadlines,
Yesterday memories reminds,
That living is worth these
rhymes!

Premium Member Distant Thoughts

Who or what was he chasing at the North Pole?
Why is that scarecrow of a man so obsessed?
What tragedies have driven him to such extremes?
Is he the 'modern Prometheus' that the title refers to?
Just who is this Frankenstein character anyway?

Premium Member Here Now Forever

Your glow does not change nor dim
It transcends all changes
A diamond eternal, creation's gift
Tragedies arise Hearts break Bodies perish
Yet your glow abides Here Now Forever
All who love are born of God and know God
For God is love__I John 4:8

Tragedies

A tribal kill; 
after a blood sucking 
ritual.
Do you have a problem ?

*

Hovering wasps 
will land at will, on 
tardy syntax 
and misspelt masks.

*

The clouds 
have wit and intelligence.
Will drop rains 
on venoms.

Tragedies

t really is a tragedy 
Always disappointed in life
And life always disappointed in me 
This is no way to live 
It is no way to be 
By the time the dream is real 
The dreamer is already gone 
He is usually on their way to a job
It really is a tragedy

The Heart Wants What It Wants

Forget what the world wants,
Forget what they expect from us.

The heart wants what it wants,
And our hearts want an us.

We can't keep away from the warmness
Both yours and my heart brings.

We should sing love songs regardless
Of the tragedies that life brings.

On the Real Stage of Life

The world unfolded,
  life opened the curtains...
So we live on stage
of the universe...
With our strides or slow
both certainty and uncertainty
we live representing ourselves
acting in the tragedies
or in everyday comedies...
We are authors of life
and actors... !

Uncaptured sympathies 
From the lost departed 
No turning back 
All plans are thwarted 
Revelations and tears
Washed away with the rain 
Forgotten tragedies 
Unspoken in vain 
Here I am a castaway
On a passengerless ship
Thanks for the freedom 
No longer your whip

On the Stage of Life

In The world unfolded,
    life opened the curtains...
So we live on stage
of the universe...
With our steps or slowness
certainty and uncertainty
we live representing ourselves
acting in the tragedies
or everyday comedies...
We are authors of life
and the actors...!

Premium Member Reservoirs of Faith

  
	       From tragedies emerge
               untapped reservoirs of faith 
                  astonishing their bearers and the world 


               Why God, O Why, does it take
               death and destruction ~
                  ~ for Your nature to unfurl

The three-letter word
we'd rather not hear
and many a soldier
  no longer holds dear

A word that means blood
and guts spilled for what
promising peace talks
  once open... now shut

A word that strikes fear
in the hearts of the bravest
plays Taps on trumpets
  for Tragedies gravest

Premium Member After Pain

The one who brought fun, laughs, and smiles
travailed his path for miles and miles.

Amusing quips that filled his mind
Were formed by tragedies behind.

When one has never felt real pain
True joy the soul cannot attain.

Do not let pain that storms your way 
Deprive your heart of joy each day.

Dream On

Believe in no obstacles and limitations.
  A sweet song can heal, cure and delivery a massive storm out of your life.
   Shake off depressions, rejections, discouragement, sorrows and tragedies.
   Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on and dream on!
   Doubters are foolish to underestimate your power of greatness.
