the clock chimes
but no one counts
the days move at will
forward, backward
days stand still
the ticking of seconds
lost in the minutia
of the everyday
endless mind chatter
and negative self-talk
heart in a vacuum of speculation
what if -
coulda, shoulda, woulda
WILL NOT
DO NOT
STAY IN THIS PLACE
strain to listen
can you hear it
it's there
in the undercurrent of life
lost beyond yourself
tick tock
a shadow of a sound
tick tock
time never stops
tick tock
feel the minutes turn to days
a sense of time thrown away
on nothing
it's easy
so much easier
to wonder
what if -
why me -
than to take a deep breath
and realize
the world does not revolve
around a solitary soul
and no one is ever
the reason someone makes a choice
choices are made of free will
or they aren't choices at all
good or bad
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
can you feel it
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
it's the minutes of life
left behind
in a cloud of never was
tick tock
the clock chimes
but no one counts
the days move at will
forward, backward
days stand still

A Bright Day

Another bright day
Is testimony to the human spirit
Large sea of humanity sweeps over
Yesterday’s sorrows and tribulations
Shedding all the tears to cleanse
And light of day passes through the hearts
To bring about the most beautiful rainbow
It’s a bright and beautiful day

Questions

She* was never a mistake like the others
She was the answer to all the questions my wandering mind could present
but
She never answered the question that my heart asked
**"Could you ever love a guy like me?"

Some questions are best left unanswered.

Galaxies Made from Fissures

I'm too weak to admit that I'm not enough for you.
I hate my inability to dry your tears and be there when you need me.
If nothing else, I just want to be able to turn
your every frown into a smile bright enough
to put the sun to shame.
Maybe you could cure fatal diseases with that laugh of yours.

I just want you to be happy,
for us to float amongst the stars together and travel the galaxy
with our fingers twined and squeezing
and our words trailing comets.

Just smile, baby.

I'm so tired when did it become 7am

sacred bodies !    ( sacred images of Man )

//     //

we have learned from all our most lovely poets

That when the girl says

I LOVE YOU

She is ALWAYS      So god - ****** sincere

the boy should fall to the ground in the humblest  display of gratitude

( after first pulling his pants down - of course )

And that when the boy says

I LOVE YOU

he is NEVER        sincere

But is merely thinking

I GONNA GET IN HER PANTS !

://:

Then at the end she gets to show she really hates him

( which she really did from the start )

Because of some reason never articulated

••

So

Boys

What have you learned !        ?

Sweet daughter of mine
I love you so very much
You are a jewel.*

Lilac Spring

The sweet perfume of lilacs
Drift across the air
Filled with the song of birds
Singing in the branches
Of tall strong trees
A little hollow of lilacs
Is where we held
Those beautiful tea parties
On the fresh spring ground
Petals dancing in the breeze
Little dainty tea cups
Tinkling
Little delicate sweets
Put upon beautiful plates
As we sat in the hollow of lilacs

**~Marian~

This was partly in my imagination. The rest was because I was remembering the tea parties me and my Mom used to have outside together. ~<3

Only You

You have saved me Lord, with your amazing love.
You have saved me from a life without any purpose.
You have rescue, even though I am so undeserving.
You have gave me a life, a purpose with a mission.
To show this world of your existence, Lord Jesus.
My life has seen your Amazing existence Lord.
I am but one man whom only have a life through you.
For I am nothing without you God, I am because of you.
For this is the reason that I live to serve only you God.

The Lord Saves

The Lord your God has come to bring life not to destroy it.
He has come to give true Hope a true life for each of us.
He did not come to bring destruction nor death to us.
But draw us to him to live fully in his Spirit, to reveal him.
So that others may have life with him as well as us.
Fear not the Lord is on our sides, all that we have to do.
Is to cry out to him in prayer , it is that simple.
Then rely on him to finish his work within us to trust him.

Trust The Lord

We whom walk by Faith, shall do wonders and hearings.
Because we trust in the Good Shepherd to see us through.
We may have our trials and sufferings but we shall overcome.
Not by our own power but by the Strength of the Lord.
For he not only given us the Helper the Holy Spirit of God.
But he also allow the Angels of the Lord to watch over us.
So be not fearful but know that Christ already holds our salvation.
For we shall not see death till the day that it was appointed to us.
For he has Angels guarding our Lives and Christ guards our Salvation.
