Hey sad souls,
what are we to do?
When we're all so down and blue!
In our beautiful minds,
(Because,that's what they are, you HP people)
join your hands, together as one,
with similar kinds,
of people.
Men and women,
need each other,
sister and brother.

Feed each others spirits,
to take you beyond all limits.
This isn't a poem,
with the American dream,
this is for hearts and minds,
that need inspiration,
at times of desperation.
We all need to feel good,
gratification of our existence,
with a constant persistence.
Encouraging one another,
telling life that ,'That I love her'
She holds me captive,
her spirit bounds me,
In her arms, I'm held in awe.
surrendering  unconditionally,
Like a puppy holding up its paw.

For life,
throws tribulations,
catastrophic,
philosophic,
cataclysmic,
rhythmic,
euphoric.
And with each moment,
we should pray for another,
this gift of life,
to make us content,
a limited time we are lent,
cannot regain what has been spent.

Look up into this abundant sky
and smile that you are here.
When many cannot,
and many have not.
A poem to revive some heavy souls, that need some love and support.
I've been there and sometimes I get taken there, and hope others can find a little joy and energy from this simple write.

He wonders in an ascending thunder.

He roams in an aspiring trail,
which excites without fail.
He please's like a contagious disease.

Do you love me, do you hate me?
The little boy used to ask.
A smile in his eyes,
used to confuse
and bemuse.
Some it would anger,
and to some,
it would intrigue.
But,
he knew,
it was only a smile.
Mischief was his game,
adventure his name.
Love in his heart,
to the end from the start.
Till death to him part.
Memories from childhood, where innocence was, and still could be.

Parallel life.
  Many faces they say.
    Who are we going to see today!

    Who do you want to see?
     Who do you want me to be?
       Who AM I gonna see?

        Want to be someone?
          Well be!

          What's he say in there?
            Let's do it!

            Conquer this world!
             Let them see!
               Oh! The fire!
                The passion,
                  soul, energy,
                    lights up all
                     that's around it.


               Then.........
                It crashes!
                 Why!
                  I don't know.
                   I just watch,
                     They watch,
                       carefully afraid
                        of the reaction
                             they'll see.
                          
                  Where has that fire fled?
                    And this absence of light.
                     The darkness
                       that clouds my world.
                        That, what I no longer want
                          to hear and see.
                            Shutting out the light,
                             dousing the fire.
                              And watching those clouds
                               covering, looming
                                over me.
                                
                   That is when,
                     Parallel lives
                       appear.
                        Please disappear,
                         Let me be.
                          This strength I know
                           to me.
                            Even, if silent,
                              but strong, active
                               and unstoppable,
                                ready to rest, not die
                                 from within.
                                   Just make these two lives,
                                    let them be one.

What do you want from me?
Can't be the money
Can't be the riches

Why do you love me?
Can't be the wits
Can't be the laughter

Why are you looking at me like that?
Can't be the looks
Can't be the smile

Each time you're telling me
That you love me
That you need me
That I am everything
You ever wanted
All I want to do is
Hit your beautiful face
As hard as I can

I don't want anyone
To look at me like that

It makes it harder for me
To simply walk away
