64/M/Sydney Australia I have had a life that I would not wish upon anyone. I have been married 4 times and have lost 4 children and I hope my poetry reflects this any and all advice is welcome.
Who knows what waits around the corner Who knows what life has yet to show, When you travel life;s road you can but wonder But what is yet to come , well no one knows. So plan your life and set your goals To the way you want them, And set about to to reach them one by one. Don't be to disappointed if you don't complete them, As things don't often go to the way we planed. So enjoy your life and savor every moment Take pleasure in what ever it is you do, For we're only on this earth for a short time And when you die we will remember you.

Life
The days get ever longer As our day is drawing near, Time goes oh so slowly As my thoughts become quite clear. To live my life without you Would never cross my mind, I'd sooner trap you in my love Until the end of time. I could search the whole world over To find a love so true, But no love could ever measure up To the love I hold for you.

Forever in love
To change the way a person thinks Takes a lot of time, So even though I know how much I need this love of mine. I'll stand aside and let you go For your mind now rules your soul, I hope one day your heart will find A way to make you whole. I do love you with all my heart And that love will never die, But your happiness is what I want So please my love don't cry.

Thinking of you
I dreamed a dream of Yesteryear When love was simple and life quite clear, Whether here or there or anywhere else The only person that mattered was me myself. I wondered around this country so fine Just to see all the different sights I could find, Not a stone unturned did I leave on my quest Each new place I went, I thought was the best. From the green rolling grasslands with it's rivers and lakes The beauty uncurled like the coils of a snake, From the fast moving cities to this country's outback I've been there my friends and one day will go back. For the wonders I've seen in this country so wide Has been burned in my memory in a passing tide, I dreamed a dream of Yesteryear And as I awoke my eyes shed a tear.

Yesteryear
I sit here and wonder What life still has in store for me, And cringe at the very thought Of what it could be. Could it be like the first half my life More of the same, I hope not for that would surely Send me insane. Could it be like a walk Along the beach at sunset, That would be like heaven on earth To me I guess. I'll have to take what ever Is dished out good or bad, Still my life to date Has been pretty sad.

I wonder
Life is what you make of it Or so the saying go's, The thing that they don't tell you Is that know one really knows. No one has the power To see what the future holds, No one could ever tell you If you'll ever reach your goals. So never put your life on hold For what someone else might say, Live life to it's fullest And live it day by day.

My Idea's
I can't tell you in person Or even on the phone, Just how much I love you And need you to be my own. Ever time I think about you Every time I close my eyes, This feeling won't let go of me So now I realize. The love I hold within my heart Is causing me to say, I miss you and need you more As my love grows every day. For you are my guiding angel With a fire in her eyes, You are the light that guides me To shine through loves disguise.

you alone
We walk along the beach at sunset The waves gently brushing the sand, The clouds, a vivid orange. The sound of the ocean so soft and calming We sit on a bench to take in the view I look at you and see a myriad of colors Soothingly reflected in your eyes. I take you in a gentle embrace and kiss You passionately, You respond, melting into my arms Than I awake, in darkness,and realize It was just a dream.

Still Dreaming
I live in darkness within my mind For my soul was taken long ago, Happiness is something I'll never find For my grief I can never let go. but your poem tells me there is still hope On this we both agree, So through all the grief I will still cope Until I am set free. So thank you very much Your poem means a lot to me, For something deep within me was touched And relived my misery. march 2002 -2003

In responce to a poem called "Night"
I'm not sure exactly Whats going on within your mind, Or if I could delve deep enough Exactly what I'd find. But Darling what I do know Is the love I hold for you, And pray that you have feelings for me Deep inside of you. But if it is just friendship That you and I can share, Then I will keep our friendship No matter when or where. But I pray that the love that's trapped me Will also trap you to, So that we'll both be happy And never feel blue.
