"In life we learn from love, hurts, mistakes and from the ones we have trusted." By Poet
My heart once held love overflowing,
joy was bursting at the seams and glowing.
That was before you came along,
you did me so very wrong.
Filling my loving heart with pain,
I will never do this again.
Now I will guard my hurt and empty heart,
you have made me very smart.
No more bad words and lies,
for now I have become wise.
She placed her dreams in starshine's bright design
where she believed the galaxy would guard them
from incidents and accidents that might shard them.
She trusted stars to lifelong harmonize love's song.
Wearing confident styles, she traversed fickle miles
before finding a grand love that would surely thrive.
Now, she barely manages life or pajamas without strife.
Gone is her strong and else she wished meant to belong.
Her frantic emotions fast crashed in gray-bashed static
and just her sofa holds her in tear splotchy folds.
Wishing to be free of depressions dark torture spree,
she lives with heart bruises and painful mind debris.
Numbness blurs her pathetic in swirls of decrepit
that pick at her feel-fabric already shredded traumatic.
She cannot define when their end started its doomed sway
but recalls when he left with her 'besty' on a final, total away.
I fell over a chair, a table and a TV
Jabberwocky fiddlesticks, I am klutzy old me!
Hit my head on the table, knocked myself out on the floor.
I do not believe I can be trusted to walk any more.
The candle trusted the flame,
So warm, so near, so bright.
It leaned into the dance of fire,
Believing it was light.
But love that flickers, fierce and fast,
Can scorch what seeks to stay.
Now wax runs down like falling tears,
The flame still sways,
while the candle melts away.
Soon the flame too will burn out,
For after we consume others,
So are we consumed.
Banker was known as a righteous man
First at the bank and last to go home
Many trusted his lucrative plans
Emptied the vault and left to parts unknown
O, you impeccable liar
Null and void of honesty
Full of evil and dark desire
And malignant depravity
Man in church spoke of marital tie
Respected by all the brotherhood
Asked his wife to stand by her true guy
The preacher passed out when three women stood
O, you impeccable liar
Null and void of honesty
Full of evil and dark desire
And malignant depravity
Judge on bench for twenty years plus nine
Dude in court who was an old comrade
There for shooting man in head three times
Judge threw it out on grounds of suicide
O, you impeccable liar
Null and void of honesty
Full of evil and dark desire
And malignant depravity
Honored preacher in big megachurch
All said he walked upon holy ground
But news got out after deep research
Was caught swindling the church’s funds and left town
O, you impeccable liar
Null and void of honesty
Full of evil and dark desire
And malignant depravity
Beneath the stars, I strum my guitar
And sing a serenade of love that goes far
My voice a soothing balm for her soul
Her heart rejoices, her spirit takes control
Whispering words sent from above
Speak of her beauty that's so much more than enough
In her presence, my heart feels alive
My love for her will surely survive
The serenade of the heart's a divine song
A symphony of love that's forever strong
For those who believe in the power of love
Its joy and light will spread, like a dove
Let this serenade guide us on our journey
In this vast world, where love can be blurry
May our love always shine like the stars
And guide us like a beacon from afar
So let this powerful serenade play
A music that will guide our everyday
As we cherish the love that will last forever
Our hearts entwined, we'll leave never.
In our innocence and our youth we trusted everyone
the mistake was not discovered until years later
we had no idea who had betrayed our confidence
We discussed it often, accusing many
But never you, for you had never betrayed us before
Or had you?
Our mother never outed you, for she knew
We loved you the best of all
Grandma Jenny, our hero
People’s hearts, ah, I thought they were filled with friendship and dignity.
A few well placed daggers, here and oh, yes , there!
Have given me pause, to wonder...did they ever, honestly care?
Or.....Are online relationships but a mystic fantasy?
Filled with misplaced trust, love, that cease in ultimate misery?
Oh, they weep, when death takes another away.
And carry-on as good undertakers, they!
Yet the sun rises each day forever and shall, for the living,
And for many a day.
May we honor our friends gone to final rest!
But supporting the living, should be our quest.

Trusted Friends

Healthy friendships don’t just happen,
and social media can never compare.
To a face up meeting with a trusted friend,
who has voiced your name in prayer.
In healthy friendships mutual respect is vital,
whether joy, or sadness, the other feels it too.
True friends can be real, concerning their faults,
as they number memories they’ve seen accrue.
Each day in prayer as we remember their name,
God’s blessings just seem to keep on mounting.
Without our friends, life would be nondescript,
with no date of meeting for joyous recounting.
You twisted
All I said
Exaggerated
And warped my words
I trusted you
Didn’t think
You capable
Stabbed me in the back
Why would you
I trusted you
Let my guards down
Believed in you
I trusted you

I trusted you, you let me down, now your not around,
you hurt me so,
I trusted you when you said you would never let go.
I trusted you with all my heart,
Yet you still tore it apart.
You said you would never leave,
Those were word I really believed., I trusted you
Why did you do what you did,
From me the cold side of you was hid,
What happened to having a heart that's true,
I just can't believe I really trusted you.
Unnatural disrespect toward teachers
Angry child trusts no one
A disconnect somewhere
Unnatural disrespect toward mother
Bereft child has learned
That no one can be trusted
I lay my mind naked to you
Everything I say is true
A secret I sealed for you and me
The truth hush you should keep
I poured my heart out open to read
All the blood and pain I seep
Lock away with the key I gave
Only for you to throw away
The day it's slip out to another
Not knowing it me you smother
For now I become trapped inside
My secrets you I don't confide
For when you rained down my words
Around you I become alert
Of what I strip from my mouth
And everything I tell you about
R-eliable and trusted helper
O-f the Church Administrator
L-eads the entire flock
A-ccording to the will of the Creator.
N-either eye will turn blind to the fold's spiritual fervor;
D-oing the things for further victories, he upholds divine endeavor.
E-arly fog-less Friday morn,
S-eventeenth day of March;
G-leams will not show up,
U-nless the rain is parched.
E-ven if the storm is brewing,
R-ugged wind worsens the weather;
R-ough seas can't rock the firm servant,
A-n Administrator's trusted helper.
Disgusted With and Not Trusted
With Trump, I have been disgusted;
He never by anyone can be trusted;
What he did no one else would dare,
And for any of us never does care;
Ended up busted while women he lusted.
