thank you poets
for sending me  
a journey of the heart
the Earth mother alive
within our being born
on a quest the living life path
the eternity our being survives for
we know what we know  
this gift of Earth life our Star
radiating sun rays feeding you
never ending everlasting life
we look out the eye of Earth vision
created life created creation living
not to be denied by a human
this wondrous planet
life a moment love is revealed
to create and give life back
I thank you  a gesture
for peace is the moment of love
I try to hold back the tears
love giving me water to run
thank you poets for the journey
of words to set my spirits free
I believe the Stars make love to me
alive on the Earth Milky Way Galaxy
one little being
doing this each and every day
the living of life is all
to be alive is the greatest adventure
your being is the ride of a life time
hold back the tears of love
let the water run
the strength of the Universe    gjmars
writing is the emotions of life
giving love

a spirits heart lingers
held by the creation of earth
to deny life the gift of the Stars

the universe all spirits memory
held in kind by the creation of Earth
whiling Universe remembers its birth first
the path altered by the powers of Earth
creation maligned by greed

life wealth in creation a power
to control destiny of being
denying the spirit forces of Eternity

the Stars and shards brilliant meanderings
to aline its dreams together in creation

yet life with held the glory of Eternity
Earth built its own realm

the Universe cosmic travelers beings
denied the living power of eternity
thru the makeup of Earth forces

usurpers of sovereignty  tyranny power
over the minds of human beings
to divide by the pull of contrary forces
sustainability verses the power of god in heaven

yet the hearts pumping lingers rich
a river of blood the flowing filling
of beings  body vessels carrying

the senses around n around
pushing the extremities
to hold this body in form

a chosen diet food of human made
carcinogens fermented waste drugs
addict-able for profit a being
manipulator driving life
pillage **** and taxation
to insanity to the end of humanity
a blood that ignores eternity
lets just arouse the passing of time
comfortably numb full of vice virtue

whose brain will save them
from themselves a tipping point
to return to the quest for Eternity

we are the pollution we have made
the Universe the Big Bang
we know no end no time for Eternity  
a glow harp waits for time

I have read too many poems
From those of you who want to die.

I read the words, I hear your voice,
Yes, I hear your desperate cry,
I am torn and heart-sick at your plight;
Yet, I have to ask you why?
For when you close your eyes forever,
The hurt and pain won’t go away,
It crawls inside all those you love,
Where it kills them every day.

Were you jilted by a lover?
Are you an addict, beaten down?
Or is it that you don’t fit in
On the ‘right’ side of the town?
Does no one understand you?
Or “It doesn’t matter anyway”,
Because when you try to tell us,
We listen not to what you say?

No, I cannot feel the pain you bear
But I understand it’s real
Is there anything that I can do,
To try and help you heal?
Do you want someone to hold your hand?
Do you want a shoulder for your tears?
Do you want someone to scream at you?
Or hold you tight and calm your fears?

Do you need a teacher?  Or a coach?
Or a banker for your debt?
Do you want a job that’s interesting,
Or any job that you can get?
Do you want to make somebody proud?
Or find someone to share your life?
Or do you only want a yes-man
To hand you the pills, give you the knife?

You may say, “Shut up old man! –
Don’t want to listen to your ****.
You’ve always had it easy,
You always won, you never had to quit.
You don’t have a ******* clue.”
And you’re right I probably don’t
But if you keep it all inside,
No one will, and I sure won’t.

Please seek some help, I beg of you
You each have talents, and a heart
There’s a remedy or cure somewhere
For the pain that’s tearing you apart
I’m not a doctor, or a shrink
But I’ve seen suicide up close,
It hurts and devastates the ones
Who loved the victim most.

And the bell tolled in
  ascertained moments,
    as the moon
      rounded gold dust,
   surrendering
             ashes to infinity*

there are no last chances
