Short Win Back Poems

Life is like chess
You sacrifice
To win back more....

The upright straight road is clear
That may seems strait long road to the blind mind
The soggy soul wants to stay in the cool shadow
To eat and fart! Having pipe dream to win back!
To have a good time, I see I see me....

When writing the words,
are they thought or then felt
Which to come first,
cards different once dealt

But sometimes together,
as in straights or a flush
They win back the reader
—with more than potluck

I 
Can no 
Longer bear
All ‘my stored feel-
‘Ings my heart’s at full capacity, Grand-
Ma’s phrase stands slim but true: what goes on in
The dark comes to
Light alone
I’ll fight.
I’ll
Win
This fight
To win back
My life that was
Stolen by two men that I trusted and lov’d.

Bitter Heart-breaker
You're set in your ways
You want me to believe love is ALL you portray
Your evilness chills me to the bone
Your heart seems to be set in stone
How many girls have you left all alone
Wishing they could win back their souls
I laugh at your foolishness
For you to even conceive
I would ever be
Your Lover!...

Loveless


What can I say when sorry just doesn't cut it anymore?
What can I say to win back your love?
What do you do if you love too much?
What do you do, if you are not loved enough?


What is life without love?
Why carry on when you’ve had enough?
Why bother to write poems that just aren’t good?
Why bother to live, when I can’t have love?

The faceless name of stigma
with more eyes than not
go side steps and looks
there, media begot

Whose singing and slur
with stick and with stone
the backhanded harm
confiding to home

With strength that’s locked up
minds reeling to shout
the jangling of keys
to let that strength out

It’s a tentative stride
walking into the frame
those keys are our tools
to win back our name

THE ROAD BACK HOME

Heavens I was told we came from
So I'm going to leap beyond the frog
Gazing through the thick fog
I will let no odd thoughts stop
The wide road yet rushed almost by all
I going straight for my slot
Eternal home of no loss


Just a little beyond the clouds my focus
Soon to win back the years ruined by earthly locust
My reward awaits me in robust 
The sun will dry away the mucus
And the end will be glorious...

Ever soul is like a star
Even though we're far apart:
One day life will kindle it's flame
In star and human, all the same.
Every moment we live longer,
Getting tougher, getting stronger.
Until our inner light shines through
And win back what we used to lose.
Til we're down on our last breath
And who's come for us but himself, Death.
A hole we'll leave when we have gone
Yours in space float upon
While mine is in my dear kin's hearts;
Every soul is like a star....

It is time to fight.

For the battle has go on too long.

Don't worry I am ready.

For I will have my weapons with me.



No, not a gun or a bow and arrow to kill my enemy,

But with my heart and will to get better.



For I know this battle won't be an easy victory because

The journey to get to this point has been a hard one.



But if everything else fails I will still have an army. 

For my friends and loved ones are battling with me.

Until I win back my land of happiness....
