Stop the earth from spinning,
   I will seek you beyond dawn.
'Til I find your delicate face,
   Held in my loving embrace.

The journey our hearts undertake,
   A lesson in dedication and sacrifice.
Whether you've given me all your heart,
   Or never given me a second glance.

Know this is the truth from me,
   Never leaving or failing.
I will be your reliability,
   Rest easy in my arms.

Thanks goes to my father
Without him we'd be lost
He gave his life to all of us
A family came with cost

When I was but two years old
He went to MIT
But he had to leave that school
My mom was sick, you see

He had to work much harder
For everything we owned
He saved and scraped and gave himself
So we could have a home

When he was but a little boy
He had to walk to school
During Vermont winters
Which were harsh and cruel

He was tested for IQ
When he was in 8th grade
His scores were highest in the state
So building blocks were laid

For his education
Was paramount to him
He walked twelve miles to high school
Through snow and sleet and rain

He was radar technician
During WWII
He was in Okinawa
A sailor tried-and-true

So our education
He worked for night and day
We all went to private schools
Because he got good pay

We never knew how hard he worked
He rose at 5 a.m.
That we'd have food and shelter
And could be schooled for gain

Both my parents read to us
And gave us the Great Books
We were raised on Dickens
Chaucer and the like

He gave us piano lessons
We knew Beethoven and Bach
Mozart and Vivaldi
And he taught us how to talk

All of my abilities
I owe to that man
And of course my dear Mother
Who schooled us through great pain

So here's to some great parents
Married still it seems
Over 60 years together
I owe to them my genes

I just want to thank them
My dear old dad this day
You worked so hard to school us
So we could find a way

I love you Clinton Jarvis
You made me strong and bold
A dedicated father

At 91 years old!

My father is the strongest person I know. He went through things during the Great Depression that would daunt most adults. But he went through them with such grace and poise. He is a stoic. He never complains of the pain he's in. He's completely deaf and now his eyesight is going. But he's still strong mentally. And reads voraciously. I owe my poetic abilities and indeed my life to him. Thanks Dad!

I write like I can write away this insanity,
but it’s this insanity that drives me to write verses constantly,
caught in a rhyme scheme these words are the web,
but who’s the spider and who’s the fly,
who’s the victim who’s the villain,
let’s take a vote those that think both say “I”,

I,
write like I can write away this insanity,
what’s this loop called Hollywood,
I’m not here to play games or drop names,
won’t even drop my own and that’s word,

word,

words,
so many fckn words,
I write them all out of me,
but what do you do,
when everything is not enough?

I wrote this for you,
your’s truly,

If I were to lie here would you lay with me?
If I took a boat to the end of the world
Would you be by my side as I looked over the edge?

If I found the place we call heaven would it look and feel something like you?

If I were to walk a thousand miles would I find devotion in your shoes?

If you and I grew old would we share memories of a world together?

If you and I learned to love could we begin to fall into it with one another?

Who am I?
Not a prophet of the future

But if we were looking at the end of time, would we spend these last moments completely whole and together?

With her aims big and hopes high, She watched all dreams with open eyes.

Her life has always been a miserable one, But her dedication made her a strong woman.
By overcoming all the hurdles and all the toil,She made her way to the heights.
With her Aims big and Hopes high, She watched dreams with open eyes.

Her life was dark, Dull and a despondent, But she made it bright like Summer's sky.
Suffered all the hurricanes of the life, But eventually got beautiful rain as her prize.
With her Aims big and Hopes high, She watched dreams with open eyes.

All those Agonize days and sleepless nights, made her strong Instead of Breaking Her psyche.
With her Aims big and Hopes high, She watched dreams with open eyes.
Recently i met a woman whose story insepired me alot. She did suffered alot during her early phase but eventually turned out to be a successful lady. This poem is for her who achieved her dreams without the support of anyone.

Few years later everything will be changed, When everything that is bothering you now will just become a faded memory.
Few years later when the person bothering you now, wont be a problem anymore. When you will not even remember the pain you went through. When every word that broke you now will be the reason behind your success.
Few years later you wont even remember why you cried today. You wont remember any of the tear that you shed.
Few years down the road people who are judging you now will be loving you and their opinions will not even matter to you.
Few years down the road nothing of this will matter. Whatever happening to you now will not bother you anymore. Things wont affect you anymore After few years, Then why to let them affect you now?

You were an awesome actor but I regret to say that you died twenty years ago.
First, you were Doctor Who and later you were Worzel Gummidge the Scarecrow.
You died of a heart attack in your sleep.
When people found out, they began to weep.

You died two decades ago on this very day.
You were British but you died in the USA.
Your contribution made quite an impact.
Many people loved you and that is a fact.

When you died in 1996, you were cremated.
Because of your death, millions were devastated.
I watched every episode of Worzel Gummidge even though it was a children's show.
You brought magic to every role you played, especially as The Doctor and that loveable Scarecrow.
Dedicated to Jon Pertwee who died at the age of 76 on May 20, 1996.

Let's plan and meet somewhere under the open skies,
Or atop the mountains' peaks under the reeling ice.

Let's plan...

Let's plan and go out somewhere for having some fun,
Or within ourselves at our places without having to run.

Let's plan...

Let's plan and sleep under the stark starry night sky,
Or back in your beachside location with your family.

Let's plan...
Let's plan..
Let's plan.
An Aisha Harr-dedication.
I like that girl for the wonderful person she is.

Looking at you tonight, I feel blessed
How did a guy like me, end up with you?
I can’t figure it out, you have me hooked
Wherever you go, I’ll be right by your side
Never worry about being alone, in this world
I’ll always be there for you, this… I promise

Sometimes, I may not show my true feelings
But know this much, I love you beyond words
I get lost, trying to find the right thing to say
I stumble and feel like part of me begins to fall
Your beautiful smile knocks me off my feet
I feel at times, I’m not worthy of your love

As I lay down to sleep, I pray for your safety
I never want to lose what we have, together
I don’t think I could ever be with anyone else
We have too much history together, too much love
Since day we met, I’ve become a better person
Not out late, drinking with the guys, spending cash

So when I say you’re the one I want to be with
Know that I really mean it, know it’s not some lie
You keep me strong, when I hit my weakest point
Just knowing you’re by my side, I’m not scared
I can be myself, never having to show off to anyone
You see me for who I am, and love me just the same
