As long as we choose to move forward,
we can find the inward strength to…
hold onto our Hope; pain ends, when
we look to Christ and His Love for us.
Therefore, let’s adjust our backward

thinking, by cleansing our thoughts
with the beauty of His Holy Word; as
we begin to trust Him and apply Truth
to our lives, positive results occur.
Are we gambling, rashly casting lots

for ungodly outcomes to succeed, based
on Worldly methodologies? Can we learn
to be patient and rightly divine God’s
Word? What will it take us to remain,
in His sight… pure, holy and chaste?
Inspired by:
Rom 15:13; 1 Tim 1:1b; Psa 3:2-6; 1 Pet 1:3-6

In the BEGINNING



There was you

And with you

Came me

It was us

Us against the world

Strolling towards the future

Side by side



Lost in a warp

With the world plugged in our ears

It is you and I

Against us

Our backs turned against the future

(a future frozen even with global warming)

We look behind

Remembering not LOT’s wife

And the PILLAR of salt.



The END

A feeling, a thought, an idea,
Asking only what I must feel,
There is nothing here that's real.
This is the vague truth of my life,
Continue on like I never heal.

This is how everything always ends,
I hated to bring you down, your world,
Between the sips of a cold blue drink
On some hidden island with **** girls.

You can always live my dream,
I get the lonely stuffy room and plain meals,
Combined with the fact that they still
Aren't any consolation to how I feel.

And those who either romanticize it,
Those who won't share any space with me,
Or for those who want me to be a disgrace,
Those who want me to disappear someplace.

You're the one who brought me down,
Was it fun? Do you still get feelings of
Happy-go-lucky hate fuel watching me
Drowned? It'll end bad-when you're still around.

You'll be seeing stars for a long time.

*Just watch as the gold-white sun, moon, the very earth
Turns as bright, as colorful as the pain I feel,
In the end you'll have only days before an
End for this way of life, one that is truly unreal.

Relationship after relationships
begins and ends quite often..
Each are are superbly selected
not by money or humor or any other thing
except the mystery they hold..
I am a curious lover,
I seek mystery in each of them
until one leaves,
I seek for the same substitute all over again!
Love is curiosity and mystery for me.. I love to find my way or be completely lost in a puzzle of love each & every time.

Time of misery ends
one day , some day
but may be not today

Even summer heat ends
and rain takes its place
which too ends after some days

Smile comes , Smile goes
every minute changing emotion
as life picks its motion

The things in my room changes
as time ages everything
and I get new things

Even the girl I was five years ago
didn't remain the same
I am no longer that vain

The relationship with everyone
which I had , have changed dynamics
Some prospered , some turned tragic

All the little and big things in life is temporary
the things we treasure , and things we don't
Nothing in existence stays permanent
The word from 8th page of book is "temporary"

Why do my hands start trembling as soon as you say your goodbye?
It was so meant to be, and I only have to repeat after you.
Goodbye
I say
And it feels like I am asking you to **** me.
Just a feeling
Softly Spoken Mar 2017
In the quiet spaces between words
I missed you
I wonder futilely
I gasp for air
Sometimes The crush of you
Permeating the waking moments
In the spaces between tears
I breathe deep
Seek to control my shuddering chest
Make calm for a second
Then crash down as all the facets overwhelm
Dissolve in self contained loneliness
As I remember that
In the space between touches
Was where I dwelt
Connected yet not
Still this tether remained
I felt your joy
I felt that heavy sorrow in your chest
As if my own
But
In the spaces between text
your printed form says nothing
There is little of you but shields
deflection
Noise
Like understanding can be found in the junkies touch
The slide of *** filling a whole because
In the spaces between ***** is where you live
Using those as you think you're worth
You're a shadow
An avatar
A sad reflection of a man running
Seeking self by losing it
In the process losing me
And lumbering on
Steam-rolling life
With a "*******"
But a broken soul
And in those spaces I can still see you
I still miss what I thought you were
Now that you is no more
You were a dream
You are a phantasm
A glimmer of hope
Not to be trusted with anything as precious as my heart
Not to be given any more of this countenance
This time
No more
I seek those expanses to give me focus
I breathe in this lonely path surrounded by love
Surrounded by those who will fight
for me
When at my most weak
Who love me
Not pay lip service to
Who believe in me because they believe they're worth me
With these I'll stand
So at some stage in those spaces
I'll have peace
And be free
Liam C Calhoun Nov 2016
I felt the end of
Time inside her; fallen and
Knowing eternal.
