This Is for Sharon by Sharon You are Missed

Lyrics By Sharon Gulley

This is not a poem

It's a cry for attention
it's as loud as loud can be
~ how many ways to ask



Wordku: 5-7-5 words

how did it get this far?

i'm at my wit's end
barely clinging to the last remaining illusion
~ hope being the rising sun



Wordku: 15-7-5 words

On day's like this

On days like this, I'd lie down
And watch as life drains out of me
But today I woke up
Wanting to get better

Cause for the first time in a long time
I've got something to live for
Something to hold onto
And I ain't going to relax my grip on it

Yes I'm slipping through the cracks
And all I can see

is this even poetry anymore

i tried to end it all last night
i failed, obviously
it's so crazy to me how life goes on
when it almost didn't
i talked to my friends today
laughed with them
smiled as if everything was normal
but i doubt they could tell anything was off
i even hung out with a friend
and i love to hang out with her but
i

this isn't actually about flowers

i'm a small flower
a seed gifted to you by the universe 
meant to grow under your care
flourish
people don't like getting seeds
they don't want to plant them
to care for them
to be responsible 
they'd rather have a fully grown flower
no work, easy
put water in a vase, leave it to wilt
slowly watching it die
only watching 
not interacting
as life

this is a comma ,

this is a comma ,

Be not drawn in other directions be not' for such' or other cause
Or any external wars.' Make fixing your country the ultimate
Chore..Call out corruption.' And examine your laws return
To God give Him trust, He will guard the shires and
Your soverign shores.'

GOD WROTE THIS LOVE STORY

“God Wrote This Love Story”
A Dedication to Ashley & Julius
From keystrokes exchanged on a winter’s day,
To promises whispered, hearts swept away.
December's spark lit love's gentle flame,
Now two souls prepare to share one name.
January brought more than a start,
With Target as the stage, and hope in each heart.
From aisles to forever, their bond began,
Ordained by God's

CONDEMNED TO THIS DAILY GRIND

One more day on this cursed planet,
One less day in this infernal nightmare.
I chase after fleeting vanities,
Like an addict searching for a joy locked inside me.
I will spend yet another entire day behind a desk,
Counting the hours and the days for a salary
That prevents me from fulfilling my fantasies.
I will keep my eyes fixed on

This Wholesome Hellish World

A place, a planet, a particle in the Universe,
This is where I was born, but oh I know
Things can often sometimes become worse
As I struggle every day and reap what I sow.

A place, a planet, nothing but a speck
And yet we are all left to suffer forever
In a neverending cycle even after we wreck
Forms that

Why Is Governor Desantis, Killing So Many People This Year

the papers don’t say it,
they never do—
just the numbers,
like headstones without names.

men and women dropping,
old ones, poor ones,
sick ones who couldn’t pay
for the cure.

you look up,
there’s the smile on tv,
a governor’s smile,
white and sharp as a knife.

he says freedom,
but the graves keep filling.
he says choice,
but it’s always his.

Dying Young     Lyrics by Eileen Manassian

I’m afraid of dying young
Of leaving things yet undone
I’m afraid I’ll leave this place
Yet not leave a single trace

I’m afraid I haven’t said
All that lives inside my head
I’m afraid I’ll disappear
And no one will hold me dear.

I’m afraid I’ve yet to touch ,The hearts of

this poem has been written for the lute

or the spoons
but read it accompanied by something
the French horn
the harpsichord
the balalaika at the bus stop
the burping of a favourite uncle
on the runway as passenger planes take off around you
the Saturn V rocket launch was a clanger to the metal munchies
i mean i could go on
but i won't, because going on would be going on

From This Day On

From This Day On

VS. 1
I have seen many mornings
Through my own eyes
The seasons change before me
Winters snows follow summer rains

VS. 2
Ev'ry path that I've chosen
Has been my own decision
But somewhere in the evening light
I have prayed for a miracle
Someone to share my life with.

Chorus
From this day on, my heart will beat with your heart
