He's not the boy she used to know
wherever in the world did he go
nor the man we once knew
but it only goes to show
time and tide took its toll
for all that he's become
and just one look will soon tell
if he'll maintain or succumb
as overwhelmed by numbers
and totally surrounded
through all weather can he ever
remain steadfast or grounded
Wherever you go,
Let your money show...
Don't brag but try grow,
For bragging brings woe.
Wherever you stand,
Let your shoe shines brand...
Don't eye cum its grand-
For eye ruins command.
Wherever you sit,
Let your buttock hit...
Don't drag to look fit;
For dragging tests wit.
Wherever you drink,
Watch your glass; each blink.
I'm hoping my love will reach you ~

Whenever a goal is set before me,
I think of wisdom to achieve its being.
How I can't wait to have its goodness see,
Makes me unrest in lone bid to seeing...
Wherever I search endlessly for strength,
My bid for success becomes a burden-
I am carrying wearily at length,
Then I seek Thee loud in praying Verdun.
Whenever You hear out my stinking voice;
Oh Lord of host, do have gracious mercy.
Wherever Your eyes watch my worthless choice,
As I use my brain cum controversy¡
Please, have mercy on me though not worthy,
But of me- You are always praiseworthy.
You know
it's not what you know
or who you know
it's what you know
about whom you know
and I know you know
'You know'
are the most
abused over-used
words today
you know
I'd be happy
if never again
I hear anyone say
'You know'
but wherever you go
there they are
on the lips
of all your friends
and you know
it never ends
they're on TV
and radio
I'm so tired
of listening to
'You know'
you know
When I
go by
the cove,
I can
see your
face on
its brow
When I
look up
at the
blue sky,
find you
wishing
me ciao
When I
roam in
the woods,
I hear
bird songs
calling
thy name
How can
it be?
It’s your
portrait
mounted
in my
heart’s frame
Place: 2nd
Wherever you go,
Wherever you wander,
Wherever your heart leads you,
May you always find Peace and Love.
Wherever You are living God
I want to live with You
Whenever You call to me
I'll come running straight to You
Wherever You are preaching
I'm receiving Your great love
Because You are my Savior
All day long I want to be Your child
Like baby Jesus in the manger
He slept there meek and so mild
Guide me along life's path
Never may I feel God's wrath
Carry me over the threshold of home
into the future of life together.
Oh, Let me no more in loneliness roam
through wearisome roads and stormy weather.
For the road remains weary, rain still falls.
These burdens we've carried did not lighten;
but side by side we can handle it all,
and the thunderous storms do not frighten.
Please do not think this is a one way street.
That you must always be the one that's strong.
Not all days, but in the middle we meet,
fifty- fifty averaged our life long.
Take me in your arms, through the door, please do,
Then let's go back, and I will carry you!
I’m angry that you’re gone, and
I’m angry that I don’t know where you are;
although you were definitely made of stardust,
or whatever glistens on the moon.
Regretful, confused, perhaps because I don’t know
if I’ll ever see you again
and the indefinite promise that you’re gone
is quite honestly terrifying,
mesmerizing, I get lost in the thought
of you being anywhere, somewhere.
I’m angry with the promise of a “better place” -
that you were always sure of -
but that I cannot fathom.
What better of a place,
than here with me,
instead of in the uncertainty
that follows me around like a lonely ghost.
I hope that it’s you that follows me, but then again, I don’t
because I’d rather feel you in the summer rays,
in the wispy wind
in the watercolor sunset, feathered with clouds
in your favorite songs while I fly down the freeway
with tears slipping down my cheeks
as quickly as you slipped away.
I’d rather feel you in my heart,
in my bones,
and in each beautiful part of life,
because I know that’s where you’d want to be.
I gaze into the sky
Admiring the stars
And I cant help but wonder
If they are this beautiful from
Wherever you are
I sit in the quiet
Not hearing a sound
And I can't help but wonder
If the silence is as loud
Wherever you are
I toss and I turn
All throughout the night
And I cant help but wonder
If you're sleeping just fine
Wherever you are
I think of your smile
I long for your touch
And I cant help but wonder
If you miss me just as much
Wherever you are
"Near, far, or wherever you are"
I'll be there as time sweeps away
Each true heartbeat tender moment
Just you will know that I'll be there.
Our past echoes and slowly fade
Near, far, or wherever you are
Emerging day, crisp nature shades
"Far across distance and spaces"
I hear your footsteps next to mine
My mind wonders to look for you
Near, far, or wherever you are
"I believe the heart does go on"
"And my heart will go on and on"
As clouds line a lucid calm sky
Across I'll trace a note of love
Near, far, or wherever you are

Life unberable is created..
Proffered Then death by needle
Great effort Enjoined to sanitize
Waste of human rescources
Before our western walls !
hello everyone
I just can't stop thinking of our beloved Victor
he remains one of the first members I met here on soup
although it was always and only here through poetry
his friendship and generosity is forever true
Victor if you can see and hear this we pray for you
thank you
"wherever you are"
wherever you are may light shine upon you
fighting hard and long you pass each hurtle
now may the grace of peace be eternally yours
you made your footprint tossed into the world
telling stories writing poems that touch us all
you have fought since our paths first crossed
defying odds of every kind along with belief
we join and reflect for wholeness once again
endure for your voice to be heard once more
may light shine upon you wherever you are
