It wasn't suppose to be this way
Me getting old-you forever young
A life taken before your time
Our lives together barely begun

This life sentence has been hard
I've stumbled along the way
Peices of my heart left on this path
Forever dying since that awful day

But now my life is near its end
once more i'll see your loving face
I will come to you with a smile
Besside you I will take my rightful place!

I can't remember the prescription they gave me, but I remember
your name being somewhere on it; for peace they said.
For stability, simply apply a dose of presence
every minute of every hour,
and the pain
will settle.

Your love fills all the white space
on the blank canvas of this life.
Another for R.
I love you more each day.
Sorry I get stuck on a single sentence and cannot seem to write you a full poem.

I sit here by my crackling fire
surrounded by all that I desire
nature for all
Bacon frying in the pan
coffee in the mug
the morning sun there in the east
small birds fly up above
I sit and I do wonder
how long can this beauty last
against the greed of man
We spew pollution in the air
about acid rain we do not care
for we now have got the cash
Our fair land now ripped by open cast
in our search for coal, for gold for wealth
but that wealth is but for the few
The multitudes who bend their backs
the ones who have the cough that wracks
and tears apart their lungs
still labour for a paltry sum
not for them the holiday in the sun
the bosses can afford
And so for the years that I have left
I will enjoy the nature that is left
BEFORE IT TO IS GONE

Cold-hearted world
Nobody seems to care
I held you so tightly
When I was once there...

How this emptiness
Quiets your voice
Drier than dry
A love once moist...

I'm lost in darkness
Without your glow
I grasp for your light
With borrowed soul...
re po
Weary eyed disappointment shines through the blue
in an attempt to quell my spirit.
6 weeks between us, yet you are as old as time.

I am not sorry for your frustration,
it stirs my ***** to see your distress
at my half-smile.

I offered you warning, long before gold was shared.
I told you I'd be hard to hold,
spelled out my weakness,
held aloft all flaws.

Still you lept at my flame,
seeking to contain it within your covetous palm,
to mold me with your priceless wisdom,
your righteous idea of who I could be,
should be....would be.

A me without a trace of self is your desire.
A shell filled with your vision of perfection.

A stay at home
Lay at home wife.

Last night you said that you had made me a better person,
while I sat and wondered at your breathing
in the hope that it would stop.

Do not take my silence as compliance.

sitting here with her I could not be more amazed...
his eyes paint a picture of his love for me
The looks she's giving have me so dazed
I would gladly give my heart to him
She has me falling for her so madly
I could spend a lifetime hearing his heartbeat
If I asked her...would she marry me gladly...
I would give him my beating heart for eternity...

Together we can do anything we set our, mind, heart and soul on....
Our wondering minds going crazy....Future looks bright...GOTTA WEAR SHADES!

Sitting here drinking beer
I wish it were more clear
Sorting through my swarm of thoughts
It stings much less as I sip the froth....
