Heart of Happiness
Samuel Lombardo Nov 2014
When I think of a person,
I think of the happiness
owed to me by another.
What universal love can
this be in my mind?
Am I just make an imagination
again of a illicit love,
or is this true this time?
All I am looking for
is a heart of happiness,
as long as it is mutual
than what is the point?
Soon there will be a day,
not this day,
but a day will come
when I see my true friends
in the eyes of my own.
Does love have always be
a negative spot on my heart,
or was that the curse that
this heart never find love
unless it was true love?
Sounds like my counterfeit
says to make a heart of happiness.

Psychosis Trouble
Samuel Lombardo Oct 2014
What a dope;
how to escape this
world of defeat.
You know?
I have thought
you were better than this.

I find love with her;
in your mind
you still think I am
after you- but wait!
How can you still
see this?
I am with her-
here, you are thinking
silly thoughts.

I have a thought for you-
Have you ever thought
that you made some
delusional unnecessary
projections on one
of your best friends?
Let me give you something
to laugh at-
I am in love-
and definitely not with you-
with the most beautiful
person- and yet,
you are still sitting alone
with stones and smoke
arising in your own
Psychosis Trouble.

New Found Path
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2014
My mind goes a far distance
seemingly to the thoughts
not even still, but rational
reality, and able to cease
furthermore the emotions
of darkness and sin with
such small light I find.
Upon me is a cloud-
confusion, heartbreak, and doubt
asking myself in this valley
where is light.
Why has my lamp been empty?
Who is the blame?
The hands who created this vision-
or should it be the visionary-
or will it be the reality that reveals?

See, I know there is something there-
something bright-
like a legacy-
but it is missing its pieces.
The puzzle of life-
unceasingly leaves my hands empty.
What a dark road-
closed and dead-ends
meet no bound
the entry of endless source.
The bumps are repetitive-
only suggestions-
distance
I go further away-
not understanding-
the same pain I feel;
I know there is someone
else who travels this same road.

I cling to a past-
struggles
sound advice-
must have missed a turn.
Did I say thief-
How much in my life
can one take from me?
What I lost in the dark
does not come back.
Must leave this behind-
here comes another
bump in the road-
what will I lose, now?

I must make a right turn!
the more light
the further the distance.
I will travel the road
less traveled.
The uncertainty
shines new hope
to a new day!
So, the darkness
dawns on me-
I am glad to hold
hands with the angel of light-
he will carry through
twists and turns.

Notice-
I took the same road-
I had to deal
with its source and fears.
There is no distance-
this road was less traveled.
The road of experience-
wisdom, understanding-
distance in which I began.

Notice-
the road no other
travels.
The road leads to distance-
and then....
the road to victory.
The one to carry me-
the same hell-
loss of love-
yet, found me strangling
along a fence.

What road of life
were you traveling?
What truths did you see?
Take my hand,
and get off the dark side.
I see ahead
a promising scenery
of open field-
field of mercy
forgiveness
understanding-
most of all...
love brings hope in
ALL ways...always!

I am heading
to the promise land-
do you follow?

Seven-year Heartache
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
At age 18 my love life;
seemingly perfect; was so long
a fiasco of desire and perfection.
I wanted a perfect being;
was there such a thing to be so perfect.
I was living a dream;
a dream without no reality.
Then a year passed;
I broke off from my first encounter.
He was a nightmare;
how can a match be so perfect;
do I really want a mirror;
or can I use an 8mm camera lens
showing me the opposite sides of me?
While my age turned 19;
I can see that a lot was taught
in my teens.
I seem to be in a war
that I could not have fought.
I wanted the decade to change for me!
There was nothing more for me to see!

So, the decade makes a turn;
I felt like in my twenties would be my year;
the year of Jubilee of eternal
warfare that could take away my fear.
However, I was wrong;
I took a wrong turn;
I met this other person;
left me on stage with this song;
drop dead gorgeous was to yearn;
for I knew looks have never won.
I took a break;
needed to focus on school;
never really understood God's sake;
therefore, leaving me a fool.
What a beautiful year;
I turn twenty-one;
I thought I had my beer;
and that battle was won.
I had to fear that no one understood me;
yet, my understanding was not true.
I was living a dream that I did not see;
and yet, this other person had no clue.

I sit on my bed writing goals;
I wanted to be in love in my twenties;
oh, how I missed that goal;
I am now in my thirties.
Time moves so fast;
yet, people tell me time heals;
I am twenty-five years of the vast;
and all my life endured was deals.
I would be twenty-seven;
wondering if I will ever find love.
Next thing you know;
I felt like I was in Heaven;
looking into the eyes of a beautiful dove;
a person whom my life bestow.
I was thirty when I met him;
my God, I thought I have sinned;
in fact, I began to take hymns;
and looking back to how I was pinned.
I will be honest;
I never wanted to love again;
I gave up and decided love was not for me.

I could not believe I would find love;
I even promise not to again;
not without the right key from a dove.
That was when I found the one, again.
I could never find the one,
because all the ones I found;
were not letting me in for the sun;
what shines when blind made no sound.
I was thirty-seven when I made a move;
the year of Jubilee;
my business was what my way soothes;
but in my life, I was set free.
After a long year of resistance;
he unlocks the door to my heart;
allowing me to love with perseverance;
allowing him and me to a new start.
It has taken me thirty-seven years;
to make a move in the right direction.
He was able to set me free from fears;
And I loved him more than any other son.
I new nature has put us together;
He needed me in his life to finish a search;
that same search is what made us forever,
and I believe that the arrow came from that archer.

I am a beautiful Gem;
You are the beautiful Sagittarius;
My pearls can shine brightly with him;
and his stones are set on serious.
Now, I take a break;
I want to disconnect;
He is definitely the part that I ache;
so, it is time to reconnect.
That magic box has a promise;
I never knew I would see,
but your heart is filled with gliss;
I almost missed the point given to me.
You needed to find a puzzle piece;
You provided me chances, again.
My fear was pushed aside for peace;
and I made my move to Michigan.
There my seven-year heartache
will be sealed with a promise;
a promise that should never break,
but will assure me much bliss.
Sometimes we have to go through many puzzle pieces that look almost the same size.  Just like puzzle pieces, ever lock has a key; and every key has a lock. The keys could even look the same but are that the one to unlock that lock.

Broken and Spilled Out
Samuel Lombardo Nov 2014
Yack! Yack! Yack!
I keep hearing the words you
do not want me to hear.
There were so many things
You not knew from me!
All that talk and no walk-
nothing left in your reality,
but illusions and delusions
of what you saw in me.
There seems to be one,
whom has trouble understanding
your psychotic mind with all these
promises that met nothing,
smiles, acts, and game for a nil-
yet, who stands tall even with
this curse, I now counterfeit-
you think there is power above God,
those are blind even in the
brightest light of the Holy Spirit.
If you are suppose to be in my
life, I will be sure to wait for you
where the light is dim (in your eyes),
that is where you will have no
choice but to follow me, or
risk being broken and spilled out.

Love Finds Me
Samuel Lombardo Oct 2014
There is a beautiful flower-
with a seed floating in space.
There she is- the most exciting
twinkling of all sunflowers-
the Leo of sunshine-
burning passion.
I can only imagine-
the successful gardens
she made in my sight.
If only my bearing-
the beauty within her-
can make a smile
on my face.
A long time has left-
for only love finds me.

Missing Point
Samuel Lombardo Oct 2014
What is in my conscious
does not reflect my unconscious.
No matter the apology-
there is no fixing the dead point.
There were two points-
one proclaims suspicion-
the other does not no where to go.
There she is again
watching behind my back-
afraid that I will take him away.
What she does not know-
she is missing the point!

That Channel
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
We switch channels every day;
from 155 to 10, but never satisfied.
I find it ironic that for as many channels
there are, we have a tendency to skip
the important channels at the right time.
For example, we dress in shorts,
and we forget to bring an umbrella-
well, let's look at the Weather Channel.
Perhaps, we drive down a busy interstate;
in the middle of the day;
we are blocked from notifications,
but if we put on the News Channel
we could see a serious accident,
making us take a diverted path
from where we should go.

No, we are too busy with the
Buying Power Network, looking for the
next beautiful watch or necklace;
then we go out, and try to find it;
only reality has it that, if you saw it there,
you will not find it anywhere else.
Look at it this way;
you see the same thing in other places;
it is too common;
keys do not match with other locks.
Then you have the Health Network Channel;
but how many of us take that seriously?
You scroll over channels;
and you land a Health Channel
sharing information about heart problems.
Just because you cannot find your sweetheart;
does not mean to fill your heart with sweets.
Take it serious!
Your heart is not for brokenness;
no, your heart is to beat life into you;
the air is what you breathe
to give you life.

That Channel that shared your story;
that is the channel you want to see.
Do you want to be stranded in a snowstorm?
Do you want to be stranded in traffic?
Do you want to be blocked by robbers?
Do you want to be involved in scandal?
That will depend on what Channel you use.

"Tug-A-War"
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2017
There is a rope,
two hands pulling the
rope, and a competitor.
The truth is that life
plays the game.
The competition pulls
me with fear, struggle,
absence, lies, lust, and
impartable waves of boredom.
My body gets pulled
from left to right,
right to left.
The devil thinks he has
my life. Brings me
down with deception, lust, coveting
lies, stealing, and gods of flesh.
He pulls me into a controversy,
the battle of sin and darkness.
But there is a competitor on
my side.  There is a man
on my other side.
I was built with fear,
pride and lies to defend
any good side of my war.
There is sunshine, love,
peace, joy and happiness
hidden in my heart.
It was God who pulled
me to the right place
to see the light of day.

The war of strife on
one level, announced the
winner. However, John 3:16
declares the war of love
for me.  I will always
stand in the light of God.
Every inch that the devil
pulls, God moves twice
to the right. I feel
split between two competitors
who want to make me their own.
The serpent head is wounded,
and the heal has been used
to pull me, ****** me to
the right. This game is a
life-long game that only
death will announce the
winner.  I have to be able
to stand firm and courageous;
while in my life, make the
right decisions.  The right is
where I want to choose,
and yet, the left seems to
drag me down.
Psalms 23 shows me
that I have a shepherd;
and without the Shepherd, I
can falter to the ground.
Like Nebuchadnezzar, my enemy
will stand tall and firm
trying to fight for my life.

Also, I am always
stuck in the middle-
the middle of right and wrong.
Daily I am being tugged
with many obstacles.
These obstacles are what
pull me away from
truth, something like
a psyche ward waiting
to confuse my mind.
These games are far
from over, but at least
God's truth will set me
free.  My freedom from
past sins, provides me
grace, love, mercy,
forgiveness, long-suffering,
and peace. This peace
provides me a foundation
of freedom of mind. He
does not have the mind
control- He has the control
of the mind for which I can
make and deal with
changes and challenges from
***** and lustful control of
my life.  But on the other
side, I have the freedom
to choose and protect my
goodwill.

To end this war, I have to
surrender myself to the right view
of life.  I need God and His presence.
He is my protector, savior, counselor,
healer, king of kings, the One.
My Savior is pulling me to stand
strong, be courageous, and confident.
The war on the left side
was killing me, and I needed
light to see where I am heading.
Death- game-over!
The right war has been tugged-
and my sins were erased
by the man who stood in
my place to defeat
the strong and endless
evil battle. I knew
Heaven is my reward,
this is where my war
ends. Tugging me into
sin, frees me from the
sin; and now this war
is placed on the devil.
The life-long game of
tug-a-war is a long,
strenuous, and curruptible
game; and if you do not
know the rules, the competitor
could win. God is in
control; and the funny thing is-
God does not even control
the game.
The rules with life are always being denied at time, and when we live corruptible lives, the controversy with our adversary becomes more like a tug-a-war game.

Fishin' in the Dark
Samuel Lombardo Dec 2018
There seemed to be a dark stormy night
when the fish of the sea were hiding
for my line was restricted by the roaring waves.
Yes! These waves were violent for some time,
it seemed like forever.
Until one day the sun shined through,
I met up with a great fisherman.
Yes! He was the one; he even knew how
to fish in the dark and stormy nights.
Like a miracle, this fisherman was able
to take me through waves much larger than me.

Fishin' in the dark was not my best avenue,
for it was difficult to catch anything during a storm.
See, I knew there was all kinds of fish in the sea,
but that's not the point here.
We are talking about catchin' anything but roaring
waves of difficulty and discomfort; I did not understand
how to accept what was given to me until now.
I feared that more I pushed the line; I would scare the fish away.
I rejected the most beautiful fins of the sea,
because I was still in the stormy roars of past waves
hunting my line whilst thinking that nothing would happen
whilst something did happen; I have almost left the fish go-
Yes! Until the fisherman came to me...she could explain
what I was doing with my resisting line.

What an awful battle I had to win!
Fishin' in the dark was no fun!
Roaring waves tearing at my boat;
what was I to expect?  I could not expect much of anything
to happen whilst still trying to fill my net.
Then I realized this storm that I was in;
created by me, caused all the fish to leave my net.
I was going in circles; arguing with everything-
resisting the line, not actually pulling the line in;
almost causing the fish to escape.

Then I felt a tug-a-war on the line; it was so strong, even my
Heart was racing.  Yes! I knew this was the one!
Fishin' in the dark gave me some hope-
I was able to find peace, but what I once feared
came to light; and the Love in my Heart was so strong;
I could not let this fish go.  No! I was so confused as to how
I caught something this beautiful in the middle of
My stormy moment.  It was the end of a seven-year heartache
that almost broke me; when I was forced to let go of my
infatuated beauty of fish I had in the past, because
they were not exactly as tasty, beautiful, or lovable as
they put themselves to be.
No! Fishing in the dark was a challenge, but now I can
help others with this problem, because I been there.

I will never forget my experience with
Fishin' in the Dark, but I will forgive the experiences.
Those fish did one thing that needed to happen;
I set them free! Only one knew that I was worth his time.
What was once fishin' in the dark is now sunshine presence of joy,
given me pleasure to leave the dark side go.
I could never leave him go, because that means going back
to the place I was, which is not an option for either of us.
If I let go of light, I would be letting go of the beautiful creation of-
love, joy, happiness, transparency, and respect of what light
has to offer in my life.
Sometimes we have to know what fish has to be tossed back-
out to sea to allow a new life to restart in our freshness.
Yes! I owe it to myself that I will no longer fish in the dark.
Sometimes it is others' love, joy, and happiness that helps us out of darkness.  You do not know how much influence you have until the perfect fit is transparent.  Let that love be forever within you.  You will also know your true soulmate by denouncing darkness, and being transparent to a heart out of darkness and into light.  God bless with love!

I Look to You
Samuel Lombardo Oct 2014
Have I let me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darken my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to You
I look to You
After all my strength is gone
In You I can be strong
I look to You
I look to You
And when melodies are gone
In You I hear a song
I look to You.

About to lose my breath
There’s no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door.

And every road I’ve taken
Led to my regret
And I don’t know if I’m gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head.

When the levies are broken
My walls have come
Crumbling down on me
When the rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you to shine on me.

Storms of Passing Times
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2014
One friend comes
one friend goes.
All this pretending
builds up the anger
inside the soul
of passing time.
Dark souls of negative
energies, being of war
Easing of winds-
in my storm:
I am not sure what
is happening;
all I know
the storms of
jealousies, slander-
fake, and yet
obvious lessons for me.
I lose one by one;
the world of dark souls-
clinging on me-
I am offered a breakthrough;
the through of high winds
and clashes of thundering
that will impress the past,
but bring through the
storms of passing times.
I am done with the fakeness, negativity, and offshoots of friendships that slander, mock, and leave me in despair.  I found my way out of the storms of passing time!!!

Seeds Encounter Weeds

There were too many weeds
along that trail-
no way! I cannot grow

Love
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2014
For the Beauty of the Earth
Only one can see-
You want true love-
Find him!
No, not me,
but he is in my heart, too.
You want true love?
Take the bullet for a friend-
is only part of the situation;
it is more like being
mocked, ignored, lost, and broken
But I found him-
Oh yes, I found him-
the one who made me!
Ask him, why?
In any case,
My love cannot measure to him.
Who can die for me?
I know it is not you-
yet, I can still talk with him-
why?
Because he sees something in me.
Why can we not love like this?
We must understand what love is before preaching it!

I'm A Fool for You
Samuel Lombardo Dec 2018
For many years,
seven years to be exact,
I been waiting for you.
Actually, I had you confused
with another, because I was
still not over my heartache.
Yeah, this seems strange, right?
But really, I'm a fool for you,
because when I saw the attraction
I could not know if it was real.
Yes! My fear of pushing
you away was very evident.
But, you know what?
Here is the point,
I believed in you,
and that was all that mattered.

I'm a fool for you,
because my sanity was
lost in my soul.
Wow...I was finally freed
from that seven-year
nightmare that has been
holding on for so long.
Yes! This is why
I'm a fool for you!
Sometimes we do not understand how love works until the person or issue is taken from you.  I have lived years under the infatuation of a person who I knew was never going to be in my life.  I was finally set free from that nightmare.  Love works in mysterious ways!

Ice Storm:
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Black, clear, water, frozen fluids;
what craziness that the beauty can cause.
Sometimes we think that beauty is great;
sometimes that beauty comes with a price
if you are not careful.
Ice is slippery, making you turn, slide
and WOW...what happens without breaks?
Think about it, you cannot stop,
what is the next option;
do you just turn your wheel?
Sliding is no fun without actually
knowing you have some kind of force.
Ice is the force to keep going;
snow is the force to slow you down;
fire is the force that keeps you flowing;
the light is the force that brings truth; and
Barriers and obstacles are the force to
Stop, think, proceed with caution,
but the air is what we need to breathe.

Where Do I Go?
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2014
It is here
that in this moment
I leave
your premises-
there is nothing
left for me.
See, I can play
these same games.
Once I am gone-
my mind no longer cares.

You always say
I am the problem-
I am the deceiver-
and I never loved;
I tell you from
the start
there is no room.
I sure hope you
see the light.
Where Do I Go?

Where do I go?
What shall I do?
Did all I say
have nothing
of your importance?
I am tired-
I am weary-
I am gone!
I do not
Care, nor do I
step down to
your level.
Where Do I go?

I am no longer
your shadow of doubt;
I can care less
where you go?
Nothing but hurt
lack of friendship-
despised by guilt,
deceit, and the bullet.
I do not see
your road of success.

There I thought
I would meet you....
No legacy that once
you stated had
no importance-
but the doubt,
suspicions, and curse
of impossible
imperfect selfishness.  
Where Do I Go?

The Highest Mountain:
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Do you feel the winds of change?
Put your best foot forward;
do not go backward;
the chance is uphill.
You can feel it, too.
I can tell that the feeling is true;
you have been climbing that same mountain.
For some of us, it takes 23 years;
and for some of us, it takes 37 years.
But we are on that same mountain;
I am running up to you, now.
I do not see anyone else;
my eyes are wandering;
they have been wandering a while,
but all I see from a distance is you.
The highest mountain was very hard to climb.

Oh...was this a challenge!
For a year I was challenged by
bumps in the road;
falling rocks, and water slides
a mist that clogs up my eyes.
But I kept going because I knew
from a distance, I would meet you, again.
I am going nowhere;
I am not giving up;
I will crawl on my knees if I have to.
You are the reason why I am climbing this mountain;
the highest mountain, why?

Why am I so burdened?
My hope is built on the rock;
and much love is flowing from the springs.
Oh, I found the strength;
I will be right there;
I am running up behind you,
but I will catch up with you.
Do not look too far back;
I am only right here.
I told you, I will go nowhere;
I will never give up.
Here we are, together- in truth,
it is time to face our fear;
look down there;
all that trouble we left behind.

I am ready to make that promise;
that promise I made a year ago.
You are in my heart now;
you are going nowhere.
We made it to the top;
we finally have done it, dear.
No time to look back now.
We did what we need to,
and thanks to you;
I can love you with my true sense of heart.
The angels were saving me from disgrace,
but even then, you let me in.
It was not time;
we had to climb the highest mountain.

Blind Love
Samuel Lombardo Dec 2018
Have you noticed two sparrows coming into parallel moments
two sparrows divergent to the same storm?
They both reject each other, follow each other;
they even smile and cry with each other;
going through the same storm, but different times.
One has went through the heartache and infatuation stage
while my other is just going through the storm.
There is no greater peace than to see the lilies of the valley;
the birds of the air; fish of the sea; in all God's glory-
it takes a village, for through it all, we can survive.
This blind love is not just any love; it is reciprocal in that
we survive the same pains; going through this same storm;
and I am willing to get to the other side with you,
because you are special to me.

No fear of being embarrassed or ridiculed;
this little bird has been lurking around for a while,
but I found my opportunity to see you in the dark storm.
Whilst I rejected you through my blind eyes;
I could not see your love, but you could not also see my love;
Oh, how interesting this is?
We both reject each others' love for the same reason; love each
other for the same reason; and yet, for the same reason,
we need each other to survive this blind love.
Sometimes we do not realize how love affects us.  People come and go, but the one's not to give up are the one's worth fighting for...

Breaking These Walls Down:
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Riding down the road with rage;
so impatient, you go from lane to lane;
until finally, that **** pulls out in front of you.
You are the cool guy;
so, you take the free-way down interstate 24;
Before long that 18-wheeler comes rolling;
I will pass that trucker;
and he will go nowhere.
But the lanes are filled;
a tire blows, and boom I end up
in the center street,
breaking the barriers that meet
two separate sides of the highway.
Does this remind us of our life?
We can handle the good and perfect;
but when the imperfect try us;
we just want to break down these walls.

Where Are You?
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
What are you doing?
Who do you know?
Where are you?
Why did you not?
When you be back?
When should I come?
Where should I be?
Do I be with you?
Where are you?
Where should I go?
How do I do this?
Why should I do this?
What am I doing wrong?
Did I do something wrong?
Where are you?
Why all these questions?
When do I care?
Why do I ask, where are you?

Right Here!
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2014
Where are you?
I do not know-
but, what am I?
I did what to make
...this happen?
I should have done this?
I have been where?
Are you there?
Can you please help me?
What secret do you hold?
Why are you not here?
Who keeps you away?
When do you arrive?
Is there anything I can do?
Why all this hate?
Wait! Did you say, right here?

Believing In Me
Samuel Lombardo Dec 2018
Sometimes I ask myself, why, what, when, and how?
Movements abound from one place to another;
no place is the same with me.
Then I come to realize my dreams;
I was tired of fighting the nightmares of the past.
I was really getting nowhere; actually,
Yes, I got somewhere- I found myself in the
dark valleys, strangled with vines of weeds
that had no purpose in my life.
Every time a promise was made, it be broken;
every time I try something, it be doomed;
every time I actually do something, a month later
it crashes to the floor, shattered to many pieces.
Like some kind of puzzle with many pieces.
I really needed peace within my self.
Is that too much to ask for?

Until I met the conquest of my life;
I made a deal with God a year later;
my promise to God was to show me
someone who knew how to end this nightmare;
break down my barriers- **** my fears, and save me;
I will do what it is that is your will.
I got more than I bargained for, because
in secret I was rejecting myself from opportunity;
and than the question was asked to me,
Do you love me?  I have rejected myself again
in fear that I would be rejected, but I would push away
my friend; and yet, believing in me-
the pressure was on- I had to overcome this fear.

My life was in the dark- it was cursed by evil thoughts;
I was suffering in secret; and God provided someone to
shine light on this- and it was hard for us both.
God had to use every bit of Heavenly power he could use
to wake me up; and in the end- all I needed was someone
believing in me.
My friend, very good- pushes me into the light of day;
Wow...my eyes were so blind by the darkness;
My fears really were much harder than I realized.
He believes in me; and knew that with help;
the puzzle pieces could be put back together.
I just realized why I broke the picture;
I did not want love in my life;
and I saw that the one in the picture is
the one who was helping me along the way.
He was not giving up on me.
I thought he would, because I wanted him to,
but the heart wins over any other voice.
Now I know that he is good;
and he is believing in me.
Sometimes you do not realize who your friends are until you find your way back to where things began.  I know for me, I could not believe me until I realized the big picture.

L.O.V.E.
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Longing for someone you miss;
longing for someone you cannot let go;
longing for someone who is your best friend;
longing for someone who belongs;
the longing that lasts a lifetime; and
the longing that keeps your heart beating.

Obviating difficulties of the soul;
obviating fear from the one you love;
obviating the resistance that allows you;
obviating the presence of evil with good.
Obviates the pain, for my soul is cleansed from
the obviating pressures of force to love you.

Victory rises from the soul when we can see
victory cleaning out the war of fear in my life.
Victory is where darkness goes to hell; and
victory can be praised with a rose given to you.
Victory is the joy to know you never left;
victory is the distance that heals all passing time.

Eternity survives all pains and gives joy;
eternity is love that grows to no end.
Eternity is the pressure of your soul singing for
eternity is open to new beginnings of love once forgotten.
Eternity is the chance to free yourself of darkness; and
eternity is the light that God's Will has for us.

Love is great and is mysterious;
loving is not by chance but is coincidental to the heart.
Loved ones will never forget you; and
Lovers will always hold you in their heart.
Love is why we should be living- it is what God gave us;
Love is why we will do God's Will, for God is love;
Love is promoted to follow, and if it is not, they are not the one.
We sometimes doubt love when we are not sure.  I learned from this mistake.  But in time if God holds us up to the challenge, God will bring us together again, because it is in the Will of the Great Divine to know that Love is Why.  Happy searching, but remember, you may have already passed him/her by.

How Long, Never Long Ago
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Never knew what alone was until now;
Living alone with decisions all hasty.
I am not afraid of being alone, because
Alone is what I know best.
No worries, because now I am prepared,
Prepared for my void to be set free for you.

I can make myself aware of your goodness
I have no fears because I believe in you
I want to show you how much I believe
Why do I need to worry?
I am running, but not away,
I am running towards you with belief.

This is my biggest test- the test of showing
You exactly how I will make my life different.
What happened is not what will happen.
My life has changed with you.
Love afar, to living a new life in a new place;
My change in life is my way to believe in you.

Chorus:
My heart is beating in pressure,
I could not believe that it is like
Forever never seeing you, again.

How long, never long ago
Can I really sit in alone
When I realized I was never alone.

Crazy Love
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
My hope is on nothing less than love.
Jerks and twerks are not my style.
******* and snitches do not go my way.
I live to learn... I am out and about
Not fearing who I love, because my heart
Does not lie to me.

I do not need anyone dictating my life
No whisper of hate and fear,
No lies and flies, just eat them walk on.
Those ***** are not my forte, and I care less
Who thinks my life is a mess up.
Think about it, I will love who I want to love.

I give chances those people who think
I am not a *****. Those people know how to get
Along with me, because I do not have to explain myself to him. I am happy to give my life to the one who knows my life without judgment. I live a crazy love for the one.

Chorus:
My crazy love is way more than
Who and where, it is the what and when.
Love does not deny a person his right
To the person who lives for change and
What is right, because love is right for you.
A song I wrote on what kind of love to choose versus the beautiful faces that only grow old later.
Samuel Lombardo Dec 2018
I won't disclose the person, for this person really went through
up battles, down drifts, uproars, crossroads, and
still I was left believing in him.
I doubted the day that I can admit my faults;
sanctifying the pressures of force and speed
was never truly a heartfelt proposition.
I have lost many games in my life;
but this person wanted me to win-
this person wanted me push forward-
drop the fears, anxieties, and plagues of thought-
moving one day at a time- allowing nature
to walk through its course with regard to life.
But more importantly, I have won in respect, honesty, and
shielding my life for another to take me with him.
I am talking about trusting a person to the degree;
the degree of footsteps and risks-
knowledge and wisdom to feel, heal, and glorify  
God in His Will!

Living in confusion, doubt, and all that dark energy
really caused fear in my life, but also other people.
I had to break my own heart so I can know how to heal;
That healing would be the love that I needed-
Want so powerful emotions; try taking a heart out of your body;
placing it on the table; turning it in-side-out,
just to realize that it was to begin with; and now,
add the burden of putting your body back together-
this is what my friend did to me-
There is no such thing as leaving room for the one
when the one is the only one who knows how to fix
the most important piece of a human's body function;
a person's heart is fragile; and he was the one who
did exactly what God promised He would send to do.
No, I did not know how, or the point,
but I sure did have to overcome huge pains and sufferings
in order to heal- allowing love to enter this divine space.

I no longer have to worry, because I am
believing in him- that those things were done
for good purpose.
My love is so much stronger; and I do not have to fear anything;
I do not have to fear time, space, force, or rejection,
because all those things combined would have not put
God, my best friend, and I on the same wavelengths
if it was not so that the one was not doctor enough
to fix this being of such harmful life dispositions.
I am just waiting, because I believe in him.
Just like God, He has provided my help that I need in my life;
I now can wait for what my heart can follow;
they say, the healer is best, because he knows what
the heart can handle; if so believing in him will do.
Sometimes people do not realize how important their friends are to them.  I knew why my friends were important, but I had a lot of people busy trying to win my heart when they could not see how badly my heart was frozen by fear.  So, I made a covenant to God to allow the one be the person who can unfreeze my heart, and see light.  I just hope we can do the same for others, too.  I believe that is why we attract people with relational, marriage, employment, and heartfelt problems, because we can make miracles happen without really noticing.
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Living in a rundown apartment
This is not my spot... I am not comfortable.
Bugs ruling the floor, rats taking over...
No way, I cannot live like this.
I been there before, and these things
Are gone free from me, because
I cannot live like this.

This is a joke...picking my clothes up from the
Water down faucets, just to see things floating
Things I am not interested in...
I am walking in the corner, and let me say
If my "friends" were waiting for me
It would rather be a better place.

Yes, I found a good friend...and he means so
Much to me, that those other ******* were
Passing phases in my life.
I cannot live like that; so, my hope is that
He is the one to share what life is,
Because all this other stuff is not good for me.

Chorus:
I am not a runner...i like run towards you,
There is more than people running from me.
I know I played a cat and rat race that force
Us to a new place, but it is not going to be
The same. How long can I live like this?
A song describing old conditions I was living in that is no more.

Free Verse on Roses
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
Gentle kisses, sorrows no more;
a separate rose on the top of a hill-
manifested to the playground below in the valley.
It is the rose you miss;
it is the rose you honor;
it is the rose you wanted.
The rose amplified love which
I made no entrance until now.
I do not want that rose to die.

I am not in the mood for
studying war no more.
I want to give a rose to
all my enemies, and smile,
saying, love, manifested in me.
You want to cut down my rose,
remember it is my beauty you
will see no more.
That is your war, but I thank you!

I want to flourish with true love,
for which my life is offered to
the right person who deserves my beauty.
Even to the grave, I lay beside
the tombs of an afterlife with hope
that we can both live in eternity.
It is me who comes out to everyone,
no matter the sexuality, orientation, color, ***,
or other signs, for my beauty, is best.

Valentine's Day, Christmas Day: hollies and myself
get along with the hope that love will spread.
My hope is stronger than the war,
the war that lingers only kills me inside.
Why not share me with the fight,
let's see what kind of smile I can
put on his/her face. Without me, your
heart seems to not be fulfilled.
Let your rose bring the love you seek.
Sometimes we do not realize how important the little things are in our life.

Love is A Dance
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
There are so many style dances;
I can learn ballet, pointe, ballroom,
but only one can really show me the way.
Dating is like a dance;
before I met the person I been avoiding,
pushing, forcing, resisting, and ignoring,
There were too many people waiting in line.
For a minute I thought I was doing cha cha;
in a straight line with people that just
did not get it right with me.
Until someone showed me the love dance;
what it meant to love, be loved;
and that dance was hard;
I am still learning it.
But you know, he is patient;
there is a competition, though.
There is this other dance, he does not know well,
but I happen to already dance to that tune.
If I could show him how to forget that dance;
anything is possible with the hope
that we can succeed in the dance we actually know.
I am not afraid of the competition,
because by default we will have to succumb to losses.
The best dance is the one that fits us.
I want to learn to be closer to you,
spin me around, take me head over heals;
twist me, and place me at your heart;
I can hear the beating to the steps we take.
Love is a lifelong poem that never ends;
free verse, line by line;
we can write, and even the same words,
could not be enough to fill the lines.
I want to dance with you all night;
I want to twist and shout;
my heart is open to you, now.
Do not be afraid of me, because of that dance
I am ready for the true challenge and competition.
You are my reward, my diploma, and
success in the training program.
I will win this gold medal, and be first in line;
for love is a dance in our hearts.

The ONE
Samuel Lombardo Jan 2019
After seven years of turmoil, fear, and doubt;
living a dream that had no reality;
I lay in my double bed as a single man.
Twists and turns, down to nowhere,
killing himself from the distractions of life;
I had no reason why a real love would do such a thing.
No one knows my true experiences in love;
only The ONE was able to find that key;
I promised myself that I would never love again;
letting one love go at a time.
No one had the specialty to this heartbreak,
except for The One knew my troubles.

God the father, the angels, ask me to take a path;
a path I was really not interested in taking.
They tried to open my heart to love again.
Running temporary errands;
running phishermen and appealing to dead people;
I found nothing.
The ONE was seven-hundred miles away;
just to travel seven-hundred miles away, again.
We are both running temporary errands;
seeking phishermen, living sensory lessons.
I cannot weaken myself;
I know what I want; this is the ONE!

I want my physical contact to be freed;
I want it freed with The ONE;
no one else, because he was the ONE that
took my many pieces and molded them together.
What the hell was I fearing?
What the hell was my problem?
I had every experience listed in the manual of love,
except for the One that opens my door,
that door was wide open spaces for the ONE!
I did not have to cling to the ***** of slumber;
that filthiness was not altered...no;
the ONE knew how to captivate me
through the intercessor of her well-being.
That person knew I was not a lie;
I was a token for two lost souls
to mend together;
and the ONE was he who made me.

I do not have to doubt;
this person is much stronger than
the 18 years worth of love that never existed.
No more mistakes, baby I am the ONE
for you! There is no taken back!
Tag teams of the most glorious thoughts;
errands, slumbering, and fears all swept away.
After all this, you deserve me;
We do not have to give lessons;
we just need to free ourselves for your goals;
your prayers; and wants have been answered.
I am completely ready; I will make another
Journey for you are The ONE,
the ONE who raised me up;
comforted me when I went through hell;
and I saw your flaws; and without
Judgment, I can say I love The ONE!

Our intercessor will keep us in line;
she is the power to complete our well-being.
Her tears, my love, your openness;
I no longer have to be afraid of the dark.
This storm is over; I am ready for the flight!
You are The ONE; you are my rock;
thank the One who helped us;
that piece is peace in our lives forever.
I want to help build her brand through the
process of making The ONE be the foundation
your her goals set in stone.
For in you, your story will come alive;
our story will come alive;
and love will no longer be a trial.
My hope is for The ONE to know;
he realizes I know who the ONE is.
Understand that life lessons usually bring you The ONE! It is true, but you have to be open to it without judgment or forcing your desperation, allowing love to actually free you.

Not Too Old, Feeling Young
Samuel Lombardo Dec 2018
Like a lamb against a lion;
I can freely live my life
not too old, feeling young.
Yeah...I am excited to make
movements abound where
I can see where life takes me;
I do not have to worry about
troubles, even if they come,
because the power of God
healed me of my own dispositions.
This little lamb can lay silently
next to the lion whilst asleep.
Love is so beautiful; even the colors
brown and green work together
to make a beautiful landscape.
We worry about matching,
but God uses every single color in everything
He creates, making matching look like a silly game.

I do not have to worry about my well-being,
because my well-being will always be beautiful
in God's eyes when He created me.
You want to argue this; try loving a liar;
A liar has nothing but beauty in sight-
that sight is so dark, it is like the eyes were plucked out.
Do not count the wrong numbers;
follow the sequence, because you make lose
value where you stand; then the Devil will
seem to have made his move on you.
Living in God's way does not mean expecting God
to do our will- we have to remember,
God has His Will, we have our free will,
but when we are attested by God for something;
we must listen, because those words are far more important.

We can be young forever as long as we are comfortable
with God's Will in our lives; otherwise,
we are forced to purposely cause our own burdens-
re-enacting our own problems.
Why do anything on purpose?
We can just allow God to lead!
No matter what level of domain we live;
there is a master, but my master is not of the world.
Sometimes we have to risk everything for God,
because our reward is in Heaven.
But that does not mean that I have to be old
and tired; I am not too old, feeling young-
because God's Will happens to live freely
within my heart now, instead of fear and worry.
Free yourself from worry and fear; you will start to see the blessings becoming more transparent.  Love freely, and stop worrying about the one- I do not mean just stop worrying, but stop assuming the one is a particular being, and just live freely.  Your heart will finally stop playing games, because it will feel freed.

— The End —
