I'd like to know which way to turn
To start my life again,
It's because I'm still in love with you
That's causing all the pain.

Now time will heal all they say
Well I got A lot of that,
Still I feel I'll need an eternity
Just to win you back.

Until I do I'll blame myself
For all that's come about,
And live my life in agony
Uncertainty and doubt.

Even though we've never met
My soul you've made anew,
With the words that you have written
From deep inside of you.

These words they paint a picture
So vivid in my mind,
Of love,hate, peace and war
To which I am entwined.

So to all the poets on this site
I salute you one and all,
For all the verses you will write
Just to pin upon this wall.

For all the colors of a rainbow
Every shade and every hue,
Pale before the wonder
That radiates from you.

I can only wonder
What life's plan is for me,
Is the future full of happiness
Or still full of misery.

I understand what pain is
Grief and heartache to,
And I'd like to know what happiness is
No doubt so do some of you.

I often wonder why it is
My life has been so sad,
Not knowing is worse than all the pain
Not knowing is sending me mad.

I don't sleep much at all now
My mind is always on line,
But I know that the answer will come to me
It's all just "A Matter of Time".

I know that you are hurting
Deep within your heart ,
And that you may not want just yet
A relationship to start.

Now I'm not trying to rush things
Or hurt you in any way,
But if you ever need me
I'll be there night or day.

If you were to tell me
That time is what you need,
I'd give to you eternity
If it meant that I'd succeed.

But I can not say I love you
For I don't know if I do,
Yet I know I feel so happy
Whenever I'm with you.

Two people in love with each other and life
The vows that they made to each other that night,
To love, honor and cherish till death do they part
And live life together with love in their hearts.

Fifty years have past since their wedding day
The love has grown stronger with each passing day,
But enough of the past it's the future that counts
May the love and the happiness for many years mount.

For these two special people we all hold so dear
We wish only the best for each passing year,
So to you Mum and Dad this poem I write
The last fifty years gone may the next be as bright.

I melt slowly into your arms
As the music fades to the sound
Of our hearts beating as one.
We kiss, as the passion grows ever so
Sweetly in every fiber of our being.
All thoughts disappear in a crescendo
Of want and need as our bodies
Entwine and meld into one.
All our senses are heightened
Till there can be no return.
We have reached a place
Outside of existence.
A place where our souls
Will remain forever in
Love and Harmony.

I don't know how you deal
Or even feel about your loss,
I don't know what to say to you
Although I understand the cost.

You ask me how I dealt with it
I'm not sure I ever did,
I locked it away within my heart
And prayed it would stay hid.

Sometimes, not very often
I feel emotions weight,
It reaches up from deep within
And causes me to quake.

A field of dread flows over me
Till I can't think straight at all,
My whole world seems to fall apart
As my body curls into a ball.

Maybe I  do need help with the grief
But I wonder who would know how,
If they haven't been through the same as me
How could they know, how I feel now.

So how do I handle the loss
I wrap it so deep inside,
And I pray that it does stay hidden
Until it's my turn to die.
