Purpose

Guess I have no purpose,
No direction,
Maybe its because,
I never had a real passion

Everything I did so far
Was all unplanned,
Was all spontaneous,
The reason why it was so adventurous

I never regretted the things I did,
Even when it ended badly,
At least I didnt waste my time,
At night feeling sorry

I was blessed with this sickness,
This curse,
To not figure out my life,
But never consider it as my weakness

Some are born with plans,
Some are not,
But that doesnt mean,
I'm a **useless machine

Eyes to Eyes

I hoped,
Before the old girl died,
She'd request to meet me
Eyes to eyes,
And apologize.
I never got the call,
And it was getting late
For a death bed confession,
A plea bargain absolution.
I would have blessed her,
Held her hand,
Let her know I understand;
Seeing, as I'm a man.
So, I went to meet her,
Eyes to eyes;
Held her face
And apologized.

I have a question ? (not a poem)

I am wondering if any of you out there , my Hello Poetry friend's would like to try out an idea of mine. It may especially appealing to those who have done collaborative poems. It is what I refer to as a Progressive poem. (some of you may have heard of progressive dinners, were you go to one person's house for appetizers, another person's house for main course , then someone else's for dessert.) This may appeal to someone's creative pallet without calories and be challenging and fun.
We could agree on a topic to write about and many 3 or 4 people or possibly alternate writing lines and blend it together into a beautifully creative masterpiece a beautiful blending of creative minds.
Any taker's out there on Hello Poetry to accept this Progressive Poem challenge. ( perhaps Mike Hauser or other's who have done a collaborative poem with me, or interested in doing one?) If you might consider please drop me a message on here.

that person

You know
when something bad happens
you immediately think of
that one person
that you wish you could
run to
and tell them all about it?

Or if something
Amazing happens
and you just
want to tell
that same person
what just made your life
so much better?

*You were that person for me.

You

You
Always made me feel needed
When i'm out and alone
You're there in my phone waiting to be treated

You
Give me strength everyday
The doubts that appear in myself
You slowly help me push those feelings away

You
Understand me so well
I could never explain my problems
But you always find a way to get me through this hell

You
Are one of a kind
God must have sent me you
Because surely, someone like you is hard to find

You
Never wanted us to be more than friends
It doesn't matter now
Because I know that you'd still be with me
till everything ends

You
You
You

Thank you

An appreciation to someone i've known for so long

I need some happy poetry

I need some happy poetry
I'm tired of sadness
I'm tired of not seeing the sun
And the bright side of things

I need some happy songs
I've been lost for too long
I need to find myself now
No time to get stuck in the past

I'm more than what
Never let me smile
I'm tired of this charade
I'm tired of being cold

I want to get lost gazing
At the possibilities in the stars
Not at their fateful destruction
Not at their fall to nothing

I needed some happiness
For some time now
Because I broke the chain
That dragged me down
