Regression

we shared our stories
every little detail
and i embraced yours
my heart opening to you
but perhaps that frightened you
this intimate exposure
for you ran away and hid
refusing to engage me
and now i see you sliding
back into that dark prison
and the arms of your jailers
from whom you sought your freedom
not so very long ago
our profound and tender love
strangled by your fears

I Will Surely Be Second

Take me first.
I stood witness at the bed
As Mammy withered
To a stick, so small,
She couldn't cast a shadow.

Take me first.
I was one to agree
To stop the whirring machine,
And stood there
As Jimmy flat-lined.

Take me first.
Marlene asked me
If she was dying.
Thirty-nine is too young
To give an answer.

Take me first.
Daddy left in a hurry;
No good-byes in life
Or in death.

If I'm not taken first
Before my girls,
I will surely be second.

Buried too many family members.

HUMANITY LOST FROM THE WORLD

Do Humans know to leave in peace and harmony,
Do Humans know to show love with each other,
Do Humans know how to share each other's sorrow or sadness,
Do Humans know how to keep  ourself  away from corruption,
Do Humans know which is better way =>either **** or save the human,
Do Humans know everything does not come from money,
Do Humans know how to save and  maintain our relationship in world,
Do  Humans know how to satisfy the poor and needy peoples,
Do Humans know how to save humanity,
Do anyone cares for dying humanity,
Do anyone knows where we stand in the world
Think everyone it is big question for ourself.

Eddie Starr Love Poetry

The Famous One

He is greater than any rock-star or president of a country.
He gives Hope far more stronger then either of these do.
For he is the only true Hope that any of us have here.
No one is as famous as him, everyone has heard of him.
He is the one that gives Life to each and every one of us.
He is the Filler of Love and Hope in each of our hearts.
For he speaks and life spring forth into the clay become life.
For my heart sings, my heart worship him as well always.
For he is the Christ, my provider and first love praise him.

Beauty and Beauty Lost

We're awakened to our insatiable longing for heaven
through both beauty and the painful marring of it.
For beauty hints to us of that for which we are truly made,
and its marring shouts that we are truly not meant to find it here.

We can be eternally grateful for beauty lost when we realize
that it's one of the great secret-tellers of the universe.
Still we fear it so and often fear even to hope for the beauty itself,
though they are a necessary cycle that fuels us on and drives us home.

We cannot deny or diminish our intense longing for beauty--
to see it and have it and be it, and we cannot pretend that its
dreadful loss does not press down upon us like a crushing weight.
We must let it crush us until our ache for heaven is excruciating.
