Abortion (Another Life Gone)

There you are being conceived in your mother's womb. 
Before you know it you will be born in this world 
real soon. 

As you develop; you start to move around. You take in 
your first food as your mom gobbles it down. 

Your ears start to develop; behold now you can hear! 
You start to move around as the sounds you hear are 
weird. 

You look around to only darkness. So you yawn and fall 
asleep. Look at those precious toes that are taking 
shape on your little feet! 

You hear your mother talking and you react to her voice. 
You start to kick. You start to coo. It seems to make 
you rejoice. 

I can hear the sound of your heart beat, and at hearing 
it I fall in love. I take a moment to see what is now 
going on in heaven above. 

Yah smiles down upon you as a precious baby is starting 
to take shape. Everything seems good so far, but hold up 
baby...wait! 

A pain hits you hard. You're wondering what's the 
commotion. You don't even know it, but your mom 
is now having an abortion. 

You don't deserve this. You're a precious baby. To be 
born is the Father's will. But you don't even know it, 
because now you are being killed. 

The pain is killing you...unbearable pain, but what can 
you do. It hurts too much to say this is what your mom 
thinks of you. 

Some think they know better, but your life began at 
conception. Why do some think otherwise? Is it because 
they fell victim to the devil's deception? 

Look at you torn to pieces. I'm crying at the sight 
of you. But it's a relief to your mother, she sees a 
different point of view. 

Another child dead. Another life gone. I can't control 
my emotion. A precious gift from above is now the victim 
of another abortion.

Just Another Sad Love Poem

My heart is torn to pieces. Really, it's on
life support. So bad that it's aching and this
pain is getting worse.

How could you be so cold? You were once by my
side. How could you give up on us? Can you see
the tears I cry?

I guess now it doesn't matter. I guess it was
all a lie. I guess your word was not a bond. 
Your word wasn't good as mine.

Maybe I can hold my head up. Maybe I shouldn't 
take it that hard. Maybe this is a blessing in 
disguise...I found out the person you truly are.

I was ready to give you the world, then here he
comes along. You fell for the words he told you.
You were mine, but now you're gone.

I could pretend with wishful thinking hoping you'll
come to your sense. But if you did how will I know 
you'll only break my heart again?

I'll be alright, but as for now I don't want to face
the world. I can't put it in my mind that you are no
longer my girl.

One last hug
One last kiss
One last look upon your face.

Goodbye love
Goodbye hon
He has now taken my place.

I Cherish You

And I will give to you my love. I will give you 
my devotion. I'll tell you how I feel about you 
with my full emotion. 

Because it is you I do love, for you there's nothing 
I wouldn't do. I just want to take this time to say 
that I cherish you. 

You are so sweet, sweeter than the purest honey. And 
the love you give to me is priceless; you can't buy it 
with money. 

I hold you in high esteem. You're the sweetest I've 
ever met. Believe me when I say that it is you I'll 
never forget. 

Because it is you I do love, for you there's nothing 
I wouldn't do. I just want to take this time to say 
that I cherish you. 

Goodbye loneliness. Goodbye to pain and distress. Truly 
I found my love, and she's the very best. 

Words cannot express how much I adore you. I love you, 
I love you, my darling, I say this with the truth. 

Just call my name and I shall say, "Here I am." I'll 
forever be by your side. I'll forever be your man. 

Because it is you I do love, for you there's nothing 
I wouldn't do. I just want to take this time to say 
that I cherish you. 

Like a perfect stone picked from the brook, it was 
your hand I then took. 

Like the glorious light I saw in the sky, one look at 
you and I felt so high. 

If I were to lose you I would feel a part of me has 
gone. I then would not ever again sing another song. 

I'll give you all my love and whatever you do wish. 
And before I let you go, let me conclude by saying this. 

It is you I do love, for you there's nothing I wouldn't 
do. I just want to take this time to say that I cherish 
you.

Postpartum Depression

Just a month ago I had a new baby brother. I play
with him a lot, but I'm really concerned about my
mother.

She really gets upset when she can't calm baby
from his cries. She tells me she's okay, but I 
see sorrow in her eyes.

I'm really young so I don't know...this is my confession.
So I ask daddy what's wrong with mom, "Postpartum 
depression."

Not knowing what that means, I say, "Okay," and go
my way. I go to my room and with my toys I begin
to play.

Daddy comes in and hugs me hard, I shout out, "Dad,
that hurt!" "Sorry, just wanted to show that I love you
before I'm off to work."

Later in the day, here I am playing in my room. I
hear the baby crying, but suddenly silenced by a
boom.

I hear my mom crying, she then lets out a wicked
roar. The baby has died, he was thrown violently 
to the floor.

I'm weeping and wailing, "Why mom?! What did you do
that for?!" She's going off, she's screaming, "I can't
take this anymore!"

She then starts for me, but I run and hide under the
bed. I'm thinking, "She killed my brother and now...
now she wants me dead."

"For the nine months I carried you," She screams "I
thought you were the end of my sorrow. Now I regret
having you. You will not live to see another tomorrow!"

Suddenly I'm grabbed by the legs. She pulls me from
under my bed. She then grabs a pillow and proceeds
to put it over my head.

I'm screaming. I'm crying, "Mom, please let me go!" I
hear her faint voice shouting, "No, for you to have to 
go!"

I'm losing my breath. My cries turn to silent sighs. Now
I know how it feels when one is about to die.

My body goes limp. I can no longer fight, there's nothing
left. "What did I do to deserve this?" I have just taken
my last breath.

This was a fictional story, but in the real world this
could be true. Mom, if you ever think of hurting your
baby, then listen, I'm talking to you.

This mother murdered her children, then proceeded to take
her own life. Leaving a grieving husband alone, crying 
night after night.

This may be harsh of a poem, but to you, let this be a
lesson. Go and seek help if you are suffering from 
postpartum depression.

We Almost Had It All

By the beach, I walk. I see sea gulls flock. Breeze touching my face, 
I can almost feel your embrace. 

From a distance, I hear you whisper. From a distance, I hear it clearer. 
I stop my heart, I make it tame. When I hear you call out my name. 

I hear sea waves crashing against the rocks. The sound of it makes me 
miss you a lot. Softly, the birds sing their song. Oh how much for you 
I long! 

From a distance, I hear you speak. As I hear your voice, my knees go 
weak. If only I knew the words to express how I feel. Then you’d be 
with me, you’d be here. 

By the beach, the sun sets. I remember the day we first met. You were 
by the beach on your knees. Asking my name, you even said please. 

From a distance I see it before my eyes. I remembered too well how sparks 
started to fly. We were inseparable, we fell so in love as we walked by 
the beach gazing the stars above. 

By the beach, we were to wed. It all changed when that fatal accident happened. 
I remember too well that fateful night. Watching the news, it was a horrible 
sight! 

You were driving, on your way to me. When a car swiveled and took you away from 
me. In the news, about your death I learned. I couldn’t breathe, my throat burned. 

I cried a river upon realization. I just couldn’t stop this painful sensation. 
I once had you, you were mine. Now everything isn’t fine. 

I hear the waves beat against the shore and here I am with a mountain to climb.
If I could just change it all you're heart would beat here next to mine. 

My love, sweet love I say this so that you'll know, "Though you're now gone away 
from me it doesn't mean I'll ever let you go."

My love, sweet love, never can I replace you, no one in this world will ever do. 
They'll never understand that my true love is only you. 

Oh love, sweet love you were the very best thing that my Creator has given me. 
By the beach, I stand here and there's nothing left but memories.  

You were my heart 
You were my soul 
Yes my tears do steady fall. 

In our grasp 
It was there 
Babe, we almost had it all!

When Will I See You Once Again

Oh the tenderness of your lips! The passion in each kiss! 
Why did it have to end, my love? Why did it come to this? 

That day you suddenly died, oh my heart broke in two! 
Each dawn of another day, my love, I will be missing you. 

When will I see you once again? Oh you were my heaven 
sent! Can I see that precious face? Can I see it once again? 

Just to look you in the eyes and to say, "I love you friend." 
That would chase my blues away. When will I see you once 
again? 

A promise we both made. We we would always be together. 
For you to up and leave me now, to think of it? No never! 

My love, sweet love, you were my life! You were my truth! 
Would it be out of place to say that I'm still in love with you? 

Now I may be asking just a little bit too much. I just wanna 
hear you breathe again, to kiss and feel your touch. 

Every second of every hour; every day, week and year. 
I swear now to keep you close till again I have you here. 

For all time and each season, as long as there is morning dew. 
This I'll do...commit my all, my heart, my soul only to you. 

When will I see that sweet face? When will my broken heart 
mend? Oh so long now it's been! When will I see you once 
again? 

When will you hold me in your arms? To feel your heart 
beat again? To read, "I love you" from your lips...give all 
to see it once again! 


I miss you.

Gethsemane of the Mind

Gethsemane was a garden where my Master prayed alone. 
Deep distress He was in. His crucifixion wouldn't be long. 

As in the garden, I'm in distress. I'm lonely without my wife. 
People blown, slashed, tortured I see. I'll never be alright. 

Dear love, I write this letter for you're always on my mind. 
Just to touch. Just to hold. Having your hand again in mine. 

In the day I think of you. In the night of you I dream. Every 
second of every hour you're always there...or so it seems. 

Dear love, like the sun so do you shine your light on me. 
Calming the troubling waters of my life. I'm still just like 
the sea. 

I'm at war in another land, but it's a lonely place for me. My 
garden of Eden is home with you. I'm in distress like Gethsemane. 

Dear love, I'm defending my life, yours and the kids too. 
Defending it for my country. Fighting for a girl like you! 

So depressed I get without you my sweet and darling wife. 
Need you here next to me. Please know you are my guiding 
light. 

Dear love, I want to say you're such an amazing girl. Honor, 
riches and gold won't do, wouldn't trade you for the world! 

Fortune, fame and all the rest...that stuff just won't do. 
None of it matters to me. All my riches I have in you. 

Another minute 
Another day 
Another night without you. 

Oh love 
My sweet love 
How am I missing you! 

Dear love, they just told me I'll be soon going home. 
Tell the kids I love them. I'll be back where I belong. 

Sadly I didn't make it, for in the night there was an attack. 
Several of us were killed. There's no way I'm coming back. 

Dear love, I'm so sorry. Won't be coming back to you. 
Promised I did, but now sweet love what are you going 
to do? 

Saw the news. You gave a cry, "My garden of Eden you 
are to me!" Wailing, holding my picture softly saying 
these words to me. 

"If I could hold you again. If I could have you next to me. 
My heart would be a garden of joy and not in distress as 
Gethsemane." 

"Another tear" 
"Another cry" 
"Another night I scream, 'Why!?'" 

"Though I try" 
"Can't get by" 
"Just so hard to say goodbye!"

I'M Falling In Love With You

If I tell you that you complete me, would that push
you away? If I tell you that I need you, would it be
with me you'll stay?

If I tell you that I adore you, would I come across
as soft? If I tell you that I want you, would that
turn you completely off?

You are the apple of my eye, and you got the magic 
touch. When you hold me I am a king, yes you lift
me just that much!

From the moment that I met you, you took my breath
away. When you came into my life I knew that life
would be okay.

Like a single candle in the dark, you light up my
very heart. Like two eagles flying together, honey,
nothing could tear us apart.

Would it be out of place for me if I asked you to
hold me tight? Would it be out of place for me if
I say that you give me life?

My dear, you are the apple...the apple of my eye.
Each day that I see you I feel that I will cry.

Tears of joy that is, because it ends my search.
You are my everything. You are the heaven on 
my earth.

You don't have to say you love me, just being 
next to me will do. Honey, I cannot help it, I am
overjoyed because of you.

You turn my gray skies blue. Forever to you I'll 
be true. What I'm really trying to say is that I'm
falling in love with you.

Attack of the Roaches

I went to a friend's house just the other day. And
man, I tell you that place I would not rather stay.

The roaches are bad; they take over the place. Let me 
tell you the story...it all happened this way.

When it was time to eat, I looked around and what the
hell! This place seemed to be loaded with a bunch of
roach motels.

So we ate our food, for more my friend begged. But
something troubled me, I felt something crawling up
my leg.

It was a cockroach! I jumped up and misbehaved. So
what else was there to do, but reach for a can of raid.

I tried to spray the thing, running after it like a 
soldier. It ran into a hole, but peaked out saying,
"This isn't over!"

I went back to the table...that episode gave me the
creeps. But heck I was hungry, so I returned to my
place to eat.

What I saw next put me in a sour mood. A roach was
giving thanks and proceeded to eat my food!

Well so much for dinner, I'll call it a night and brush
my teeth. I flicked on the light and there he was, "So
again we meet!"

"I told you this isn't over," then he flew towards my
face. I ducked and I took off running in a panic haste.

This roach seemed determined as he flew towards me. "If
I don't get you now," he said "then I'll get you while
your asleep."

"Every step step you make. Every move you make,you'll
think of only me. I'll pop up when you least expect it,
count on that, hehehe."

I confronted my friend and told him, "This house the 
roaches rule..." I went to say more, but he interrupted,
"Silence you fool!"

"Our roaches aren't that bad..." but suddenly he let out 
a scream. A roach crawled in his shorts, now he's coming
apart at the seams.

I was laughing so hard at him that I was turning blue.
Suddenly I stopped laughing, because by my ear something
flew.

It was that flying cockroach, so like a running-back I
ran. This was too much for me to take, more than I could
stand.

I ran out the house and said enough is enough. If my friend
don't want to be friends no more, then oh well, tough!"

This story was a fiction, but this truth may hurt. You see a
roach, there are more, so make a diligent search.

Don't be a victim. Please be safe and whatever you do...don't
let a bunch of no good roaches get the best of you!

The Storm Is Over Now

"Happiness, where are you? You were here, 
but now you're gone." You say this so often 
that you feel you can't go on.

You cry yourself to sleep at night. Often 
you feel ill. It's okay to cry, don't be 
afraid of the way you feel.

There before you is a gun, so you sit and 
contemplate. Maybe you should do it. Maybe 
it's best that you leave this place.

Now you may be wondering who in this story 
this may be. I am speaking of myself...yes, 
this poem is about me.

You see, I was so lonely. So often I felt 
depressed. I didn't care about life, because 
mine was all a mess.

I used to be happy one moment, and then suddenly 
wish life was over. I didn't know my condition 
then; it was called, bi-polar.

I use to hear these voices...voices in my head. 
Doctors wanted to help me, but no was all I said.

You see I was stubborn. I didn't want any help. 
I knew I'd defeat this monster, so I tried to do
it myself.

But the voices continued, "You're nothing but  
a coward!" They would often whisper, and their 
whispers were getting louder.

Call it crazy if you want to, but really I don't 
care. Please continue reading, for I'm taking you 
somewhere.

I started reading Scripture, believing everything 
I read. Faith took over me, resurrecting what was 
dead.

One day I became determined. I took control of 
life. Said to myself, "I'll win this battle. Think 
I'll be alright."

With faith I moved the mountains of depression. I
took back my life. I began to get stronger, it's 
then I KNEW I would be alright!

I gave you poems like "How does it feel," and "What
can't kill you" to name a few. I conquered bi-polar
with the mind, giving you the poem, "The winner in
you."

Now some may say that's crazy, "You can't beat 
bi-polar with the mind." With enough mustard 
seed faith you can do anything I did find!

So don't let anyone tell you what you can and
cannot do. If no one else will stand by you, I'll
be there, I believe in you!

So here I am now today. I made it someway somehow.
Peace I found within my life, the storm is over now.
