Life and Death

Life and Death
Both Guarenteed
Life can be beautiful,
and golden
It may also be tragic
and black
Death sounds terrible,
and maybe it is
Death may also be a
Pleasant Journey;
blues; reds; greens; yellows
flowing ever faster
till your spirit's
Journey is done
and set free

Pain

Pain is what you feel
When a loved one is ill
Or worse, when a loved one dies
And the world becomes one you despise
You soon hurt inside
You feel everyone lied
You hate the world and everyone
You feel life will never again be fun
All the memories you have are good, but hurt
You begin to feel lower than dirt
For you
the sun never shines
Yet you are blinded
Blinded by hurt as you try to forget
About the years past you regret
When life doesn't matter
as the days go by you grow sadder
And fall deeper into depression
As you walk the lonely procession

A Tear For Jimmy


I shead a tear for Jimmy

I hold his memory near me

In my heart I hole my pain

Trying hard to stay somewhat sane

I shead a tear for Jimmy

I feel he is always near me

I asked myself many times, why

Each time I give up with a sigh

I shead a tear for Jimmy

Knowing he'll always be a part of me

I hoped it wasn't true

Until I saw him....Pale and blue

I shead a tear for Jimmy

Wishing it had instead been me

Wishing I could understand why

Why God took one so kind, caring, and wise

I shead a Tear for Jimmy

Crying because he'd been taken from me

I never told him the things I wanted to,

He was my hero; He kept me living; Cheered me up when I felt blue

I shead a tear for Jimmy

Wishing I could see
A reason why he's gone

Wanting, but never finding an answer from anyone

I shead a tear, For Jimmy

Friendship


My best friend and I
are like sisters
The friendship seased
When aman came
between us
We didnt talkfor months
I did rotten things to her
I mad her sad
While the man laughedI laughed too
but only on the
outside
On the inside I cried
I finally saw
through the man
I called my "sister"near
Christmas
I don't talk to the man
anymore,
Because my sister means so
very much
more.

Megan

I don't understand why you act this way

I can't understand a thing you say

You always act as if all the men love you

While you put me down and make me feel blue

You always call Jason an idiot

What do you call Rob and his stupid shit?

Before you judge you better take another look

Look at yourself and all the shit you took

Realize that the more you took the more you hurt

You hurt me and you always treat me like dirt

You say Jason's a jerk, but at least he cares

I hate to say it, but this I can no longer bare

You act as if you have all the problems; you don't seem to care

If you would wake up you'd see your not condemed

When I tell you my problems you don't seem to care

When you tell me yours, ignore you is something I
don't dare

Look at your life and realize you've got it good

You're doing things I only wish I could

Friends don't put down their friends

Friends are always there with a helping hand to
lend

Love

I would often see couples walking

I would listen to them talking

I never thought I'd have the same

I would often hang my head in shame

I thought I found the one for me

Unfortunatly he just didn't agree

The next one I thought was Him for sure

I sent him a photo and my letters he did ignore

Then I met him.....Mr. Right

He was kind and sweet.....His name was Dwight

For 6½ long months we were forced to wait

Then finally it came, May 28th, We'd set a date

He left his place in the morning on Friday

He got to my home at 1:00 am Saturday

It was the greatest moment of my life

I just knew I was destined to be his wife

I have lived with him since June 1999

Here it is 9½ months later and life is great

I could never imagine life without Dwight

I know now I have indeed found Mr. Right

This poem is dedicated to the Love of my life......Dwight Golden....I Love you with all my Heart :)


These tears I cry are real

They express how I truly feel

I love you deeply, I always will

You hurt me so, my heart you did steal

You do this everytime bt I love you still

This love I feel is real

This love has been tested and it is still

What do I have to do to see how you feel?

I need you and I always will

I care about you still

I don't know if you will ever know how I feel

I love you, need you, care about you and want you still

and forever will

Falling in Love


Falling in love can be so grand

Finding someone to lend a helping hand

Someone to comfort you when you're down

Someone to come home to from town

Someone to love for all eternity

Someone that's there just to be

Someone who keeps you warm at night

Someone to keep away the fright

Someone to hug you when you've had a bad day

Someone to give in when you want your own way

Someone to hold when the night is dark

Someone who takes long walks in the park

Someone who says just the right things

Someone who'll put upon your finger a ring

Someone with whom you wish to grow old

Someone who is true with a heart of gold

Someone to make you feel that you truly belong

Someone to have and hold and share a love so strong

The Chase


I am running for my life

fleeing from a demon

this demon is all to real

he is in a cape of black

his complexion is grim

his skin is cold

his stare, hard

I run and run

I cannot hide

he runs faster than I

at above human speeds

I fall from exhaustion

he is there

I plead for my life

he laughs and laughs

and in one abrupt movement

his teeth are in my neck

I scream with muffled cries

as my blood flows from me to him

I pass out

I soon awake a short time after

he is gone, but I am in a bed

I see the sun, and feel faint

Later that night he comes back

He makes me an offer of life

"To be immortal forever" he says

I accept and he proceeds

When its done I feel life

like life has never felt before

I can now live forever

and ever as well

Clouds


The clouds are white-

Silver and Bright

Forming shapes in the air

Many puffy cotton balls-

Combining in many shapes and sizes

Stretching far-

Among the Heavens

Smooth-Silver-Shimmering

in the bright sunlight

They seem to trot like horses

Across the sunlit sky
