Once upon a time
there sat on the wall
a mirror, which only
shown what was in the way-
until there was a face
staring back at it.
The question came up:
"what are you looking at?"
The mirror said, "I do not look-
I see everyone passing by.
At least you had the nerve
to stop and ask me."
So, the face leaves, and the
same views continue.
So, then a dog walks up-
all it can see is himself.
But the dog was confused-
so, he asked the mirror,
"What is this other thing?"
The mirror answered,
"this is a reflection of you."
The dog barked, and continued
barking until he realized
that thing was going nowhere
until he moved.
So, the dog tumbled over the mirror-
leaving pieces.
A fine gentleman walks by,
says to himself-
"why do I look like I have six times
the reflection of one of me?
The mirror answered,
"this is how you left me!"

For thirty-three years I have been
the person for the abuse, power, and
long-suffering coming from others.
For thirty-three years, I've been ****** up.
My love may have seem real, but
to others love was surreal to fantasy.
I am *******-
the trail of the inevitable battles
over my head-
from uncle to brothers to
an angry *** grandfather who
took my dignity in the grave with him.
Yet, this uncle still walks freely
through the doors and walkways,
and up and down hills-
I am *******.
What justice I seek- only
a hush for repentance
and forgiveness- but I been
through the gates of hell-
from entrance to another,
his tool goes wild, and I am
forced to kick the teeth out of
his mouth-
And when growing and showing up
to the faces of the universe,
I have lived the fear of rejection and hate-
all I have experienced was rejection and hate.
There is no one who understands-
the story of my life.
The assaults of ***, physical abuse, and
tyranny I have was the demon I want no more.

The guilt of my mind-
the obedience of such gross fantasies  
and the tears I share of lost
friendships have made an angry face.
But for thirty-three years nothing has
worked for me- there has to be a new path:
I had to seek repentance and forgiveness,
for hatred had to dispel from the love I
had for others.

This angry face had been exchanged
for a phat face-
the face of love, peace, and understanding;
it was the inspiration of a friend whom I
am now confused.
I am confused of dispelling love for hate
when I been living with fear.
Rejection and hate was my life-
and it became a demon in my life.
This person was drawn to my life to love me-
not love me physically,
but the love that shows my life
living in fantasy.
I was blamed to be a predator-
a reputation ruined by third party wanna-be's.
My fear was confirmed when rejection
called my name in the name of evil,
and hatred became what my friend used.
This was the person I never shared my
problems, because of his rejection.

Why was he a part of my life?
What brought us together?
I am not the **** in the closet-
I am the hetro living in the dark.
I had nowhere to go, and I
trusted that this could be discussed.
And here I thought I was weak.
I have been through so much
that it hurt me to see my best friend go.

I became angry faced-
the loss of friendship over
my actions, now blamed for
harassment and stalking when
I see surveillance in the eyes
of my life.
Why do I have to learn this lesson?
Who do I learn with?
Where is my understanding?
Why do they not understand?
I am none of the things the
universe declares me; and yet
no light they cannot see in me.
Why did you fake me?
Why do you block me of my
freedom to say my story?
What is your story?
What love do you have if
someone sniped me?

I changed my view on love,
because the hate I've been
misjudged on for thirty-three years.
This ******* society is so messed up;
I have to live according to a
controlling and confused society.
You are like the rest-
put an act on, in front of friends,
and then when trouble comes
or the annoying person is
around, your on your way
to the hermit station.
I do not understand you;
I was not able to find
peace within you; and
I am confused about your love.
In fact, the only confirmation
I got was when someone else
said I tricked them until a
business gig that was never paid.  
And when I was blamed for lying,
I knew you people only put me out.
The most hateful thing to do is to lie
about one thing to save your reputation
to ruin others.
The reality is that you place angry faces
on those you love, but do not
understand agape for your own fantasies
are stuck elsewhere.
I am still trying to put the pieces together,
but I do know where the missing pieces are-
they are connected to you-
Until you understand the agape love-
we will both be missing love and peace
for each other in disguised of hatred.
You only hide me to forget me,
but it is the Heavenly hosts who destined us.

I now seek spiritual guidance;
I need to forget you;
I need to understand why I should;
And while I wish you begin to
understand, I realize that this, too
only a fantasy.
I only ask that someone take away
this rejection and hatred from me.
I fear that I will not see my
friend, again-
but who wants someone in their
life who is not understanding,
always faking me in front of others
than hiding me inside a closet-
abusing power over love?
I only know rejection and pain,
who wants to introduce me to
the Happy Face?

It is music which I found you;
It was the creative mind-
when you turned to the left side,
your subconscious has taken away
the right brain empathy,
which was taken for me.

Only hope is what is left;
The hope for new
found agape love and peace.
Let me allow my story-
let me allow my understanding;
let me allow you to tell me.
This poem could be quite graphic,due to the intended message of abuse, obsession, assault, and the fact that I lost friends who gave me more pain.  The idea of this poem is to allow people the opportunity to feel free to express their situation, and to let others who been through this know that I am feeling their pain, too.

Now, my heart is open, but it knows what its missing;
now, the heart is wounded by its own desire;
but it is its own desire that opens the door which was locked.
There is no avoidance like a heart full of fear;
so, that fear was taken place by a love that can fix me.
How can I doubt it?
Why do I need to resist it?
Why should it be forced?
Why should it be pushed?
The reality is that none of this has to happen,
you are already there.
You cleared the void that was so annoying.
You were able to transform a heart of fear,
into a heart of love.
So, only the one can do this work to someone.
There is a distance, but it is not as wide as the void;
The void is now closed with one in my heart;
all others are in support and merge into my being.
The only void there is remain in the mind,
but I am at peace with you, even in distance.
Love is what brings us closer, no matter the distance;
why worry about what will happen
when what happened is already transparent?
I do not have to resist, push, force, anymore;
no, I can see through the glass our reflection;
the reflection of minds that are meant for many things;
the reflection to heal those who have been where we were.
You are beautiful and the best rendition of me;
there is no avoidance of your soul;
because I set myself free to allow you into my heart.
You will see when our paralleled hearts
reconnect from the healing hearts of doubt and disbelief.
No more avoidance within myself;
only love can fill the void, and the person is happy to see me.
When I see your face, it will not be sour frowns;
or doubts of love, or force of angels;
it will be an angel seen through me;
living in love through my heart,
finally allowing you into my life, and out of avoidance.

Nebuchadnezzar has three dreams,
not even the "wise men" of old
could interpret the dreams of this old man.
It then takes lads of Meshach, Abendigo, and Daniel
to "cling" together in a fiery furnace,
only to see a fourth man that
the King recognizes and acknowledges
as the the God of Most High.

Why would this dumb old King
still insist on the power of the Most High
with a 90-foot tall statue of no statutes?

Then how is it that Daniel-
a wise man of Babylon
able to entice God's presence?

Even with all the threats and insanity
of this crazy old King,
Wise man, Daniel, stands up against
a statue of a multitude of people
when he stares as tradition in a mirror.

With the delusion of creating a nation alone
has made that crazy old King
filled with insanity and obsession over people.
Sounds familiar with our own traditions,
and obsession to worldly pleasures.

Here is the real problem,
the ruins of Babylon is not only
a metaphor, but a reality to lives
living on this Earth for those
"wise men" who think they can
take the place of God.
Unfortunately, we are crawling around
like beasts on this Earth,
because there is no other
to lift us up, but God the Most High.

Soon, the four Angels
Destiny, Death, Purity, and Balance
will "let it go,"
the four winds of strife on a land
that has insist the impalpable sin.
When I am constantly placed in
a fiery furnace, all the one's around
me feel the heat, and die of their own curse
they caused me, letting go;
and bringing Babylon in ruins.

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 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.

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...

....the winds softly blowing-
leaves fall with the light breeze
....but when the storm
---------comes, I notice
----I stand up, waving my
many branches in the wind.
The more severe
----the more heavy the winds blow.
...oops- my branches are breaking!
This tree suffers a broken branch
with no survival or breath of life.
----there is no growth-
....the promise of life
has been broken in front of me.
When the branches are broken-
the tree looks more bare.  
But the tree still stands-
until you uproot me,
I can be fixable.
If I F

And then what-

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.
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.

We all go through broken pieces
the pieces of glass, tears, puzzles,
we are not sure how certain pieces
fit, but even when your promised
dream is gone from you, we hope
that the nightmare is gone.
We wonder why when I call your name,
there is no answer- you promised to be
be here every step of the way, and yet
somewhere over the rainbow,
the sun will rise, and this nightmare will end.
The glass is not only broken, but it was
shattered and exploded throughout,
but I realize, I cannot look back.
The pieces that were broken will get picked
up by someone- someone who is patient
enough to put this brokenness back together.
Where are you dear spirit?
You promised me not to let go!
Father, I am trying to heal,
but I know this cannot be fixed on my own.
I carried on with friendships, relationships,
and my broken spirit of past mistakes
have darken my sky-
and this storm is hard to bare alone.
Father, I am trying to heal.
I know there is hope- the hope
that the morning will break,
and I can rise like the sun of day.
Father, you are the way for my
enduring guidance, and I can hold
on waiting to hear your voice.
The day the sun will rise,
will be the day my broken pieces are fixed.
Some think I am the problem, but in actuality, I am the solution.

A thought in process...
Imagery that tells a story....
I can see
the Prestigious School of Gills:
The Conservatory of Velvet & Blues.
In the process...
The conservatory will need to
hire the Ground sharks
to make sure there
are no shellfish or
Crappie fish laying around.
Once all the Crap is
swallowed up,
we can hire Dolphins so they
can share in their porpoise.
Even in the deep,
we have trouble with
Blackchin.  We should consider
hiring Giant Wels to calm
the Blackchin.  if that does not
work, we will get the Bigmouth Buffalo
to calm all the Bitterling.
I do need to get around-
I should Perch a Black Neon Tetra
...and find some Pumkinseeds.
I will need to hire an
Octopus to get the building
done sooner.
In one hand- I will use a Hammerhead.
In another hand- he should use a Sawfish.
I will need two arms to scratch
the Rough Scad from the floor.
Two more arms should
use Smelt-whiting on the walls.
We need Muscles to do the
heavy lifting.
Finally, the Octopus will need two
arms to lay the Velvet.
EEL!!! I have noticed Roaches!
I noticed the Roughy patches.
Hey look!!! We do not need to
worry about electric-
we will just use electric eels.
To right- I will place the lampfish.
Do not worry about the
evil of the Ghouls & Devil Ray-
I will be sure to Discus
with Alfonsino all
the trouble with the
Blue-eye, Bullhead, ***** shark.
We will have a Whale of a time,
omitting the Suckers & Swallowers
from the Red Velvetfish.
I need to cool
things off with icefish.
And to keep the roofs from
leaking, hire the seals.
Our Seahawk Security will
be watching for the White Shark.
If you see them please,
send out the Yellow Jacks
and I will use the River Loach
as backup for there is plenty of
fish in the sea.

If I only I could know
the dept of your mind;
The Hell you put me through;
The consecrated B.S. that
only flutters your mind-
putting me inside out.
The assault, impeding comprehensible
Delusions of your own mind.
The character of a dog-
the dog that screeches at
himself constantly over and over again.
I can only imagine the head-
ache that you place your-
self for no words are given lightly.
There is a time to make
things right- and that time
is not now- and will not be later.
The sooner the later, only
reality can make that call.
I can only imagine the
hurt you are feeling; yet,
the character assault makes
it obvious- that day of judgment
answered your evil questions-
no wonder that only if
I could mediate between you
this low-life will only
be considered the Character Assault of my life.

Quand je pense à une personne,
Je pense que du bonheur
dû à moi par un autre.
Qu'est-ce que l'amour universel peut
ce soit dans mon esprit?
Suis-je faire une imagination
encore d'un amour illicite,
ou est-ce vrai cette fois?
Tout ce que je cherche
est un cœur de bonheur,
tant qu'il est commun
que ce qui est le point?
Bientôt il y aura un jour,
pas ce jour,
mais un jour viendra
quand je vois mes amis fidèles
dans les yeux de mon propre.
Est-ce que l'amour a toujours
un endroit négatif sur mon cœur,
ou était-ce la malédiction qui
ce cœur jamais trouver l'amour
sauf si il est vrai amour?
Sonne comme mon contrefaçon
dit de faire un cœur de bonheur.

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 Oct 2014
You're not scared of the dark;
You're scared of what's in it.
You're not afraid of heights;
You're afraid of falling.
You're not afraid of the people around you;
You're just afraid of rejection.
You're not afraid to love;
You're just afraid of not being loved back.
You're not afraid to let go;
You're just afraid to accept the reality that she's gone.
You're not afraid to try again;
You're just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

Can you hear my silence?
Can you see the dark?
Can you fix the broken?
Can you feel my heart?
When life knocks you down...calmly get back up...,
smile..., and very politely say...,
"You hit like a *****."

Blemish of Darkness
Dreams becoming a Reality
Afraid of the Dark
Light of Hope
Serene Spirit Suspense.
Want to talk
About a Fight?
Try Dispelling
Something You
You have No Control!
Who Dispels Love?
How Dare such a thing
a this?
I will Dispel darkness,
for it is Light that Shines.
This Light is the Reality-
the Promise of One
Return-
Yet, Who comes to my Aid?
I Fought the big Fight!
For in One Year-
All lessons were Blemished
with the Blood on the Cross.
I will Not Cross
that Road again...
Yeah, that is a painful Road-
Let it Go-
What is there,
but Darkness on the other side?
You want to Follow Me?
Or will you Fall
into Oblivion
not Knowing what really shows?
All the Grass is dead
And there is where You
Thought there was Green.
You must Dispel
from Hate
before Hate Dispels You!
There is no other
Harm than to Fake Love-
when Karma Assembles-
Oh Yes! This Fake Love-
will Dispel from You;
The Time in Space
Will Conquer Your ever Thoughts-
Keep The Light-
Learn to DISPEL
from DARKNESS!
This is the poem that illustrates the process of dispelling from the wrong feelings, because we have a tendency to think love is a harm; and society mixes love, purity with lust and materialistic things of the Earth.

Draw me Close
to You
never let me go
I lay it all down
again
to hear
You say
That I'm Your friend.

You are my
desire
That I'm Your friend
You are my
desire
No one else
will do
Nothing else
could take
Your place
To feel the
warmth of
Your embrace.

Help me find
the way
Bring me back
to You

You're all
I want
You're all
I ever needed
You're all
I want
Help me Know
You're near.

In the beginning
life was so perfect
with my winning
and personal dialect.
I knew there was some talk-
even when my life was slipping.
I was blame for his stalk-
yet, I could not stand his impaling.
My time with this person- so wasted
caused pain in such a fright;
then my pain became so exasperated
I had no choice but to exit stage right.

I trusted you-
You were the one
whom I gave the chance
for a legacy that you have declined.

What choices do you make away from you?
Was there no place for you? I frown
from you whom I had a crown.
Now, you sit back to think,
I can only listen to
your thoughts
that make
it so.

Now
I am Falling
The steps were too
high to reach the top,
and there you see nothing
but the darkness- what beauty
is there in darkness when, in fact,
you can still reach the top without falling.

Where I am,
You will be?
Where I should be,
You were not there.
Where I would be,
you did not see.
Where I am not,
You are there.
Where I should not be,
You are there.
Would I be,
where you say
I should be-
even when I could be-
where we should be?
I figured where I am-
I will Find My Way!

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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
Samuel Lombardo Oct 2014
Three time in one;
only one time in three-
do you not know me?
How funny
in two paths;
yet, I find you;
when did I know you?
Was it when I took
a wrong turn,
or was it WHEN?
I was forced to
learn a lesson?
What lesson should
it be that I learn?
Could it be the thought
of freedom with reality?
What freedom are YOU seeking?
How did I know you?
Why did I know you?
because in life,
we all must learn
from each other.
What did you learn?
Am I that nasty person
YOU know?
Or is it, I held a secret
when in reality
there was no hope?

How do you know me?
Am I a person
that person who succumbs
to your fear?
Did I have to know
your underlining secret?
What is this secret?
Am I the person
whom you only think
in your delusional mind?
Was it in a delusional state
of mind where you
found me?
Am I at fought here?

See, here I found you
when I needed a friend to trust.
When I think of you,
I think of the best of
what could be;
I never saw you
as the evil one.
How, then could
you remember me?
Did you think
I was jealous of you?
How could I think such?
We both have lives;
and we both love-
to the purest measures.

If we could start
over, again-
where should I
meet YOU?
See, your delusions
have left me sinking.
Yet, with words
that you watch as a hawk-
I know you are watching.
You are hiding from me.
When will this fight end?
How can we make
the legacy stand?
i see you as a friend;
you see me as a freak.
I am so freaked out,
because how you know me.
All the good left,
because of delusions
you believe in strongly.
The question is: WHEN?
When do you see change?
Where will you
leave your delusions?
How will you leave
your delusions?
I am telling you,
I forgive you;
and you know
I capable of
unconditional love,
but what love do you
think?
I am holy to God
who knows me.
Apparently, you did not
know me as well
as you thought.
This could have happened
to anyone, but it is
time to move away from
this battle.

Here, my door is
re-opened, for the
presence of life and purity.
And when you are ready,
you take the time,
because this is where
I will wait.
Take all the time you need.
My door is only
thin enough to carry
the positive loads,
which are few,
but I know how
you can do this-
you must take
away the load before you,
and you will find me
on the other side
where the door opens out
to close us in;
and when that happens,
there is no more
confrontations.
This love is the
love of forgiveness/amends;
leave the delusions behind;
and do not believe
the negative advice
of evil angels
who keep you down their level.

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.

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.

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!

I do not NEED
the help of others;
others NEED the help
within themselves.
I do NEED the assistance
of a team;
the team NEEDS the assistance
of their co-workers.
In all my life
I NEEDED Independence!
The poem speaks about friendships, co-workers, space, and time!
Samuel Lombardo Nov 2014
In my mind there is a song-
a song that keeps playing back;
It is like I see my words
in the mirror facing back at me.
I can hear drums beating,
and my heart beats with the drum.
All I can remember is that I
was left with the hope-
the hope that music would come alive.
I feel dead without the music,
there are excuses to hear it-
Youtube, choruses, and just travels afar-
I cannot believe how far it
has taken me just to find that
one simple note;
I mean the note that has never left me.
All I can remember,
silence without music,
is a silence without a beat.
I realize that at times
the open air can get
things confused in our minds,
leaving no suggestion,
but to have peace and love.
And when that difficult rhythm
comes again, I can say,
"leave me alone."
For the sweet music which
I understand- has always
let me alone, until now-
I am asking to bring it back to my ears.
The balance, purity, and patience-
I wait,and for now-
in silence I leave you alone.

A dark cloud has been storming around me,
the wants and needs over-portioned and mounted-
Why the war of pain and wonder wanders to see
where no one feels the love or is lost but founded?
There is a light- the light is so far away,
but I can still see the embellishing distractions
that are so brightly extraneous and willing to stay,
but the storm, so undeserving and strong infractions.

The storm passes by the deepest depths of the earth.
the blackness of perception now gone from you;
the perceptions of poor judgment in the burning hearth
suckling of pure judgment within the heart anew.
The cloud hovering over me, now descends
to the east a rainbow ascends.
The troubles once afflicting your soul,
now are gone from you, and you are whole.

(Possible Chorus):
Light of Day made a new
with courage, strength, and love
one can stand firm- this one is you.
The free spirit of the dove,
provides what's inside the light of day.
For you are the light of day.

Born into this world as an angel;
experiences unheard of and in defeat-
the mouth of outrageous roars and gel
grown in a circle of many feats.

There came a face filled with scars
the mind of unsure, bold, and assertive delusion
promotes such gratitude and mingled spurs
to run from me, run from such obsession.

The hyenas are so fake in their attitude-
their faces are like an abandoned building
with graffiti to cover their indecisive gratitude,
and pretentious illusions that yield bring.

In the dark valleys with only moonlight,
such attitudes and gloom of darkness
sets in motion the evil wariness and fight-
the lion flights into the cave of the barking mess.

Hyenas crave the deception to feed on lies;
and the lion's assertiveness frees from itself
the circle of dark redemption that proves his rise,
hyenas hide behind the masks on the shelf.

Hyenas are busy trying something new
whereas the lion still never gives up his path.
Hyenas are free spirited in the blues
while the lion is free from the hyenas wrath.

(Possible Chorus):
In the wrath of darkness, one is never satisfied.
In the light of the world, one can be magnified.
No matter what there is a circle of life
that once will be the door to wasted strife.
The light of the world, defeats the darkness of soul.
The assertiveness and protection will be whole.
A full day of poetry sounds good. Here is the first- could be a song later:

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!
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.

Heart torn?
Capture it!
Seal It!
Stop!

Free yourself!
Feel free!
Tear free!

Grace is Love
Have mercy!
Fountain of Life
Breathe of Life

Hope is Secure
Security finds;
Love finds;
Heart is Love
The functions  and emotions of love are within your heart!

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.

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.

There was three individuals whom
were blessed with talents.
There was one who had 10 talents
for which these talents were
blessed and used,
while another individual had five.
Those talents were blessed and used.
There was one individual
who had one talent, suppressed it,
and hid it in the ground,
until the day the Lord has come.

The next day, a certain man came to
make inventory of their talents.
The first man, said he was blessed with
ten talents where there were
twenty seeds sowed.
The next man came and stated that
his five talents were blessed with
five more talents.

However, the man who hid his talent,
told the man, he had hid his talent,
because he was afraid that he would
lose it.
Suddenly, the man suggested
that the talent be given to the
other who has ten talents,
and that the ways of your servants
was not to follow me.

The man went along his own way
with no reaping, and a hidden talent.
When one is scared to follow the
true path for which is
met to be, we risk the buried talent.

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!

Think of sustainability in your life;
you want inspiration-
think of your creativity!
Think about a puzzle
so jigsawed that perhaps you need
silence and time
to make the puzzle work.  
The reality is the picture,
the destiny, and
the creativity that you made
from this situation.  
In silence you are welcomed
to present actions that
inspire thought and precision.
If you worry about the future,
stress about the past,
then your present is stuck,
which means that in reality,
you will always feel stuck
and fear the past,
unless you open your eyes to
see what you have and move forward.
Just remember to leave
your negative thoughts of me behind,
instead of wondering if I will change,
because with time there comes change,
and it is not up to you to change me.
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?
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.

you know the words,
but  in those words
of  suspicion
was  your lesson.
Have you thought
the leaves on
your tree were ripped
out, but rearranged?
Yes, there is one
one  whom no lesson
will be learnt
to  frowns of guilt.
Like  the fall,
we eventually
get back up...
The  springtime  
is promised
the awakening
of a new life.
There are pages
to  be edited,
others should
be ripped out;
while other  pages
in your life-
are the hardest-
ones that remind
You of pages
not to be ripped out.
What is left-
with only a cover,
and  a title
without no words
finished?
These books are
not  to be  judged,
but they are the
pages to be filled;
these are the  lessons
You must learn.
Stop ripping
Pages out of the book,
or You may never
Show words
new beginnings are
promised, but you  must
read through  the  
Whole book to get
Whole  story.

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.

When I am down
and,
oh my soul,
so weary-
When troubles
Come
and my heart
burdened be-
Then, I am still
and wait here
in the silence
until you come
and sit awhile
with me.

You raise me up,
so I can stand
on mountains
You raise me up,
to walk on
stormy seas
I am strong
when I am on
your shoulders
You raise me up....
to more than
I can be.

(Add-on)-> There is
no life-
no life
without
it's hunger
Each restless heart
beats so
imperfectly.
But when you come
and I am filled
with wonder
Sometimes, I think
I glimpse
eternity.
Josh Groban (I added an extra verse to spice things up! :)

The thunder
the lightning
a furious storm passes.
Samuel Lombardo Sep 2014
Here and now-
lies ahead a road.
This uncertainty is
not sure-
cling and clangs
vultures and cultures;
yet, all I see
a bright light from above.
Autumn leaves around
clings of ruts fall
from the trees.
The cold heart of evil
spreading from the past-
the past of winds
cold chills
fire was burning out.
False love-
making no come back;
banishing back to oblivion.
I hear the angels-
strings being struck
from opposing directions;
and the strung
of these sounds
much more sour.
The dispel of a dream-
gone in the wind;
Oh! I see a dark cloud-
I see this won with no
failing winds-
disclose of a brighter hope.
The same child of the storm-
returns in the sunlight.
My wondering mind
wandering eyes
ask me the conscious question:
Is he from the retrospect
within the past storm.
Does this storm repeat itself?
All he remembers
is in retrospect-
This storm is history-
Can the sun return from retrospect?
In times of doubt we must understand that not everyone is the perfect individual.  This poem is dedicated to a past of ups and downs, lessons learned, and a forced opportunity to seek freedom without giving into this world of evil.
