Somewhere, amongst the debris
of cigarettes after ***,
And a failed attempts at sleep, resulting in a restless time of mangled sheets.
I  tried to forget what it means to love.

I forgot what it means to breathe,
to sit still, and just be.

To heal oh wow I wish, yeah more like, let go no time to waste, they are on your heels.

Somewhere, beneath these hooded seams
of solitude and well-versed grief,
beats a heart less cynical,
less tamed by vague distraction.

My nervous ticks and bad habits,
line of best fit for a near-hit
of satisfaction:

I was told Warren you are better than that hmmmmm, how?  yes I wonder how? Where ?

We attach ourselves to emotions and allow people in again! Bad idea!.. Why for them to make an idiot of you, for them to say things until you give in and find yourself dependent on someone else, to long for them to wish for more? And then ! Nothing!!!!!

This is not enough, I know.
This is not nearly enough
to cool the bray of life
that still rattles meaning in my bones.

I thought I forgot what it means to love,
what separates a house from a home.

Can we ever though? for its wounds leave scars with furrows that to be visible to any who care to look!

Well I’ll use this medium as a coping tool!
To heal hopefully!
Grow hopefully!

Write, write, write !

I’ll find life again!

“Having lost a person so Dear to me recently I found my heart aching so, and so I write this for my friends n others who have this heartache”

Time heals they say, well I’m not sure about that, but it does allow us to cope.

We wake up these dreary mornings with heavy hearts, but somewhere we find the strength that somehow there will be hope.

I know with life’s heavy blows when loosing a loved one, they don’t fade from our memories, we just relish them in a happier place than where sorrow holds.

So, we can wallow in grief, or smile and remember, for tomorrow brings solace!  and we get to smile and think, and raise a glass and remember how great moments were shared.

So for now we can cry we deserve that too, For we loved them so dear, how else can our hearts deal with this ache we bear?

But tomorrow we smile and cherish them again !

As this new year dawns on us and all that's on in my life, it brings me to think, why wait ?
Why do we wait to make New Years resolutions?
Call our friends and family
Wishing them
Surely this should be a daily thing?
We too easily for all the reasons we can think of let this pass us by! Be it busy work schedules and whatever else life puts in our way.
Yet we loose someone and we wish we did so much more!
My New Years resolution is to let my loved ones know how much I love them & miss them! As much as I can!

But why wait

Hey I love you miss you all so much
Warren-Johnson Dec 2017
Wow the friend you were!
Always there!
Always caring!
Never too busy to listen!
With love in abundance!

Now you left us!
Hearts torn  to shreds!
Missing you as never before!
All I can do is pray!
Maybe I should done this more
Maybe I should have called you more
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe

I Pray that all our lives you have touched, be blessed by the love and faith you showed, that you be received home to our father, looking Down over us I pray we do you proud!
I pray that we all find solace, that Dayne and Shanice find strength to continue,and to shine as your kids always do! Looking over them I'm sure you will be!
I pray that your Mom is kept by the lord!
I pray for Bilinda loosing Annie is not easy on any of us!
Father God guide our hearts as we enter a time of great Grief!
Give us the wisdom to do all we do in good favor to You!
My father God I pray that you keep Dayne and Shanice close that your presence be felt!

I pray this all in Jesus name

So love is Real!

Love is abused
Taken for granted

Love is real yeah!
"Although after experiencing my love being abused, taken for granted, lied to and cheated on.
It's as if along with being robbed of a chance of happiness that was never truly there (for it needs for it needs to be from both parties)
It's as if along with my hope for happiness they stole my belief that love exist."

However it's legitimate, it exist!
For I loved without refrain!
I gave my all!
I loved unconditionally!
It's why It hurt so much!

Something else I'm certain exists!

The law of retribution!
Karma as others call it!

Let them do Love justice!
For love is real!

Love hurts, no way
How can it?
Love is of God
Love is all things good
Love is all things pure

No
It's us
We hurt
We hurt to love
To be loved

It's us that hurt each other
But not in love
No in love we don't go and break another's heart
In love we don't betray
In love we don't forget the greatest love ever!
Gods love for us!

No
Love can't hurt us!

It can do far more
If we allow,
It can heal
Make us whole

I hurt to love
Be loved
Every day
And I know I am loved
Every day

So are you you may not see it or know it but you are!

Love  be not selfish
Love be not jealous
Love be not envious
Love be not rude
Love be not idle

Love be an emotion
Love be faithful
Love be forgiving
Love be a want
Love be a hope
Love be a need
Love be joy
Love be selfless
Love be true
Love be kind
Love be patient
Love be righteous
Love be respectful
Love be trusting

Love be a home filled with children's laughter.
Love is greeting a stranger with a sincere smile.
Love is treating others with care, taking a small moment in all our activities to consider the next person.

Looking at our world, if love was a species, surely it it would be a protected species.

So
Is love still alive ?
I'm sure yes
God created us in his image
God is love
So
Love was Our species (the human)
Love should be me
Love should be you
Love should be a nation
Love should be our race

What have we become?
