Real Growth
Warren-Johnson Aug 2018
So today my first visit to Dr Steven Eppel ( a physiatrist )
As I have identified issues I have with trust.
And hence have managed to swallow that ego and take on my flaws!
Oh yes we all have them and it’s how we choose to better ourselves or not in identifying, admitting and taking a corrective course that really matters!

I have come a long way with great heartaches and many a mental anguish!
He has helped me identify a great accomplishment I have achieved already that I feel with maturity I have learnt Humility for only in humility can we acknowledge our flaws !
Humility sounds so diminutive in its description, yet holds so much value in character!
I identify with scriptural teachings, of God teaching us humility,
Now I understand its depth far more.
Through humility I have put pride aside and accepted help!
Through humility I allow growth!
Through humility I will find healing!
Accepting growth that with time allows trust to be forged to bring far stronger unions than we have allowed before!
Healing brings new freedom to the soul!

If anything is to be learnt from this.
Firstly never be to proud to learn, to see your flaws and accept help, there need be no shame at all, however I for one admire those striving to better themselves!

FINDING STRENGTH
Warren-Johnson Jul 2018
Only through identifying and admitting our weaknesses can we identify our weaknesses!
Never let pride be a weakness for being to proud to seek help or admit to a weakness you will not prosper there!
Rather relish pride of accomplishment over where you were once weak!
If help be needed, seek!
If apologies be sought, do so!
As with thanks!
We can always better ourselves!
Finding strength!
We can always be more!
Warren-Johnson Jun 2018
So proud to be part of a driving force to help!
We managed to provide for a little soul named Precious, and to that she truly is!
Thank you all for your help! There were rewards there, I can never convey in words!
But you made it possible! And we continue to try! Make their little world a place with hope!
Yes they come from the saddest of places knowing only despair,
But no longer for at this home the children run and laugh at play!
A sound melodious when thinking from whence they come!
Oh thank you, yes oh thank you!
Warren-Johnson Jun 2018
Giving
Received with love!
Hearts a glowing!
Joyous smiles so true!
Filling a need!
These kids
They don’t know greed!
Fulfilling what any child should have!
To think how often we take so much for granted!
From a heart so pure, a wish was born!
Yes child of nine!
Saw the need for children in a orphanage, to be kept warm!
And so it began!
We deliver veered a week later,
For her plight was heard!
You saw her heart, true and pure!
Devout to her cause!
I am blessed to learn from this young soul!
Oh how so many can take a lesson here!
This would love!
Yes as it should be!
If we treated our peers, neighbors and the next person with a love like this!
Oh what could this world be?
No war!
No greed filled crimes!
No sinister inhumane acts!
Maybe a far fetched dream!
But I’d rather be as this child!
Maybe one in a few million!

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Bringing joy to others might cost us a little time.
Maybe a little effort too!
But its rewards you’d never surpass,with any cash value or any other earthly goods!

No matter how small!
Your intentions will show true!
Make a difference in someone’s life!
Be only your time!
A book read to the aged!
A mere hug to the weary!

Go ahead I dare you!

Give!

To My One So True
Warren-Johnson May 2018
How often it’s said “trust is earned”
Oh but it holds far more
For at times it should just be!
For the persons worth!
For how they hold your heart!
For how else did you earn them as part of your life?
Yet through acidic traits and scars of those so traitorous that we allowed in!
There will be doubt in the purest that deservedly own a special place in our hearts!
Yes trust shouldn’t just be earned for those I speak of, it’s in no uncertain terms!
By default deserved!
YET!
Shallowly,
How we allow these scars left by our past experiences by ignoble people, to tarnish what should just be!
So to My so true, without reserve if ever unappreciated in moments of blindness,
You are a True Treasure!
More than thanks be due!
But for the great person you are! you back me anyhow!
Wow a sheer blessing you are!
My love be yours with no refrain!

MISSING YOU
Warren-Johnson May 2018
Thought I knew its meaning!
Gee I’ve felt it to the core!
More than once that’s for sure!
Ahhh but missing my family!
I can define this with assertive measure!
I know what love is!
For without fail you are there!
I miss you all, for every moment we don’t share!
I’ve said this before one should not waste any opportunity to tell your loved ones how much they mean!
So for all my loved ones far and wide!
A tribute to you!
In a way I know best!

I LOVE YOU!
Warren-Johnson Apr 2018
2:am at McDonald’s drive through
After a night out on the town
We found him, Jacobus,
a sorry sight! To say the least!
Ripped our hearts apart he did!
A baby in most parents eyes
He looked 15
Probably a fib in saying he is 17
No shoes on his feet
Recycling cool drink cans
To earn a living
A family of 3 living in a box
On a vacant lot
So we got him in our car
The love of my life ran up to the apartment.
We fashioned him with shoes n socks
A jersey and blanket!
And 3 times in cash of what a good days recycling can bring.
Reluctantly given not knowing where it shall be spent?
Not welcoming this child in for we can’t risk him returning with his dad or the likes!
Desperate people do desperate things!
None of this consoles my soul
No child should be subjected to life as such!
Fending for two adults collecting recycling materials in the early hours of the morning, to get the best out of the trash we discard!
He will probably be Back on the street shortly after we left him at the vacant lot
A footpath through the overgrown bush
The last we saw of him.
A child should be guided, a mentor to ease his path into this cruel world!
How often we take so much for granted
Complaining with a need that cant truelly  be justified!
No, I appreciate that now!

I can’t leave this there! how I don’t know but, a difference in this child’s life I have to make!
I know I can’t save every homeless family.
I know !
But God would not have led my path past this child without cause!
A route I am yet to define!
However a real chance he deserves!
So pray, all of faith, I ask!
For my choice of action
Is seek his guidance
For I know it’s his task set for me!
I’ll be on my knees
In appreciation for what I have
In hope for this poor soul

Pray I ask!
For there be more power in prayer than we realize!
Oh
Pray please do

So best I got yet!
Love is Us!

MY HEROINE
Warren-Johnson Apr 2018
Oh what yonder lies only treachery and deceit!

But if not for our Moms?
What would we be without this wonderful guardian?

That just through her melodious voice puts our hearts at peace.

There be wolves out there of human kind, the worst of all yet!
For teeth far from sharp!
It be their tongues and sinister ways!
Far more razor like I’d say!
She’d put herself in harm’s way!
A selfless soul so pure!

A mom for sure!

She shows her back to the wild and scornful beings!
And shelters all harm from her child !
A Hero no less
More than just a mother i’d say!
Yes she’d be a Mom!
Oh yes!

Oh thank you Mom !

A hero oh yes!

I know mine is!

YOURS TRULY
Warren-Johnson Feb 2018
We meet individuals who claim to our friends!
But how many can Really hold that tittle?
For even I find myself falling short at times of what a true friend should be!
However!
If we carry this badge, it should be with much honor and pride.
Yes we can’t always be super friends, we will make mistakes!
But if we hold the virtues of friendship dear and have good values as to what a friend should be.
We can hold our heads high knowing,
We might fail at times,
But I am sincere , and to those I hold dear,
I strive mostly to be:
Caring
Sincere
Fun
Uplifting
Available no matter distance or situation
Understanding
Non judgmental
We try listen
And more so from the heart!
For many thing might be said!

I might not be the richest or most popular!
But I remain Me!
And always strive to be as real as possible!

Yours truly
Your Friend

BE REAL
Warren-Johnson Feb 2018
How often it’s said,
“Don’t hold grudges, life’s too short”

The same sentiment will apply then why waste our time on those not worthy!

Far more Important I’d say don’t waste these mere moments we share on earth on people who have no purpose other than to use and add no value to ours!

Our traits are sincerity, love and loyalty!
Be bold as you can boast them as who you are! for they be noble qualities!
Yes you can be proud of who You are!

Hence don’t sell yourself short because people you thought to be friends, don’t hold that same moral compass!

No send them packing!
No shame in saying “ they not cut of the same cloth”
No quite the contrary be proud,
core values can’t be bought!
It’s who we are thanks to our parents ethics!

Hold that banner high!!
Never waiver!
Remember who you are !
Yes you have that option you can choose to be you!
Your best chance success’s in anything yeah!
BE REAL

Finding it
Warren-Johnson Jan 2018
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!

TOMORROW BRINGS SOLACE
Warren-Johnson Jan 2018
“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 !

Why wait
Warren-Johnson Dec 2017
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

Maybe I should have called you more

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!

Your time will come!
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
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!
Nov 2017 · 332
Love hurts? No!
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
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
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
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?

The greatest love song ever
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
The greatest love song is I love you daddy.
I can stand testament to it no greater love ever lived than that of a father n child.
Although I only fathom a glimpse of that love our Heavenly Father taught us this in his love for us as a father myself.
I grasp it and realize my role in life to serve as his servant, as a father for his children as I am his child!
Thank you Daddy
Thank you for this renewed strength in faith.
I know forever tested n tried.
I know how you forgive!
For you gave your greatest love to us for this.
Wow how we only almost grasp it's awesomeness an awe we never fully understand!
Thank you father.
A selfless act no mere man could truly perform!
But a father could !
I'd lay my life down tomorrow for any of its earthly values in a heartbeat for my children!
As you have done for us!
And if it's what you need of me I would give my life for you!
But I realize my role in this sordid society is to live for you!

Thank you lord for this strength

I pray may my faith grow as strong as my love as a father, as your child!

Thank you daddy!
The greatest love song ever !

Hero
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
A famous singer sings his number one hit Hero
And the words hit home, but not for the meaning he bleats out, rather the ending "I can be your Hero"
I'd be sure it's every fathers unsung anthem!
So I'll put words far closer to my heart, for my Girls❤️

If I'd ever given you reason to doubt
No remorse could ever be enough, even if I'd shout!
There'd be no river wide enough!
No mountain high enough!
No ocean deep enough!
To stop me ever striving, to be all you need me to be!
I Will Be Your Hero!

You'll teach me more than books have ever known!
To know a Love a part from any other❤️

Many an anguished moment shown , from bumping a toe or any other low!
But greater the elated ones, even the mere Daddy I love you! oh!

Great triumph, joy and pride to see and appreciate into whom you have grown!
I'd know no shame ever! In saying, that's my Daughter!
More often with such Glee!
For you bring such jubilant thoughts, wow my child❤️!!!!
Yes
There be no second of any hour
I'd give no less than my all!

Just to be your Hero!

I'm your Dad

What others think of me ?
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
I'll no more worry myself of this!
For as I've ambled across life's rocky roads, I've come to realize, only one overruling factor matters!
Will it be a positive in my life?
Making me happy?
Then why should I care how others see me?
I'd rather ask myself do I admire myself?
For I need to be the one I'd look up to!
Then surely how others see me would anyhow be of good standing?
Noble actions will result in one owning a clear conscience.

I fear not what others think!

I'd be proud to say I am the person I portray!

TASH
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
If this be a poem then strangely how apt that your name rhymes with Rash!
I'd babble on about how you are vile!
But that'd do me nothing constructive  or earn me no dime!
And it'd take more than a while,
Oh to tell them you slime?
Be as silly as this Rhyme!
But I get to remember that Tash!
Or would it be Rash to refer of you as Trash?
I'll do no such thing!
For that be your ways to adopt!
I'll hold my head high!
Knowing I loved my Wife!
And I fought without end for my marriage I did!
You will atone for your actions,
I shall have no joy or knowledge of what punishment he shall for you bid!
But I'll hold my head high for this I won't lie!
Oct 2017 · 222
I'll be happy yet !
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
I have to forgive you to move on they said
Yet how does that help?
What justice is there in that?
You just get away with ruthlessly bludgeoning my heart?
You denied all your wrong doing!
But guilty you are!
In this real world that means what?
That you in your sick tormented ways that feeds on others hurt,
Gets to choose their next victim?
Or I can choose not to be the victim!
Revenge would only make you look good and I bad!
Rather I'll let you dig your own grave and wait for that day to kick a bit of dirt in.
Forgive you I must?
If do that I'd never again trust!
Oh you got that right already!
No I'll just find true happiness! Find someone who appreciates, what you were too blind to see!
ME!

BENEATH IT ALL
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
A sweet smile she has that Masks such pain!
She sells off happiness as if she owns it all!
Yet not even a glimmer of a smile truly from within!
Or is not maybe just hope?
Or faith there is happiness yet to be had?

How brave you are fair lass!
I see you here with words of sorrows,
I'd wish not on my greatest enemy,

Oh I pray for you that hope is not just a awesome word we lay in wait for,
That this release is more than just a release,
But rather also a mode of transit,
To a far better space,
That it makes your heart smile seeing those words of hope,
Of love,
Of happiness beyond your expectations,

Your happiness will unfold yet !
But needs to start within,
I pray, oh how for this i pray !

Stolen Time
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
They enter our lives with oh so much to give. (well?)
Yet all they do is take.
Far from pertinent they consume our hearts.
Stealing moments we should only be giving to the deserved.
We never see it there until after the fact, and we await all the I told you so's,

But hope I have to have I'm sure she out there,
She has to be,
Or is this it ?
A miserable existence?
Amounting to what?
Work, work,work
And loneliness till expiration of existence lures?
Oh she has to be!
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
They enter our lives with sinister plots that we do not see.
For we choose to be real, and expect others to show the same virtues,
We forget that in our strength of sincerity and,
Stature of what society should've been made to be,
We fall prey to that, far worse than wolves in sheep's clothing.
They be of human form, but we have hearts,
They be the acidic species,
Just there to use,
Just there for their gain,
A putrid lot,
Just there to watch their works erode the effect.,
The effect shown through a simple yet ernest smile appreciating friends,
Wake up! see through their semblance,
They pass off as friendship.
This title they claim be not theirs,
Oh no they are to be of that,we choose to dispose of.
They are of the past.
We will always see more like them,
Who enter our journeys,
For we are free loving,
Giving,
Caring,
Selflessly making acquaintances who should carry the title of My friendship with,
Ardent fastosus.
A title worthy of not much to those who know me not.
But as I value My  Friends see their sincerity,
They too see me for the friend I am proud to be.
A title I regard with much dignity for they bless me with their hearts open and call me Friend!
So begone you foul lot of underhanded scoundrels you have no place here amongst friends.
We know the worthy,as we see ourselves in them.
You get in, yes for we do not look out for the likes of you,
I know not how to be that vile insipid parasite.
Rather,we seek people we can look up to.
People we can learn to better from.
Who speak not with intent to harm,
Or just where they are to gain.
Finding joy in others hurt,
No we seek a superior being who is unlike you.
Someone really pure.
Oh just no false pretenses,
Oh and, so this all was not actually about those unworthy no rather,
The contrary!
To them an ode!
A tribute to my Friend's.

Cherish them
Warren-Johnson Jul 2017
A motivational speaker cracked a little joke the best years he'd ever had were spent with another mans wife!
The audience aghast with much disgust, He then softly said
She was my Mother

How true it is how the years spent being raised are what mould us and steer us on our paths and although mostly different challenges than our parents had experienced, but it's that foundation that leads us to make proud moral decisions!

If you still have the awesome privilege of having your parents thank them sometime!

Once they leave us on this great rock we call home it will be memories to be cherished and many a moment wished you told them even more how you love them, no Matter how often said!

I, like the artist David Gates lost my Dad and can relate to his lyrics In The song "everything I own"~
"You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go

And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again"

If you have them still, take heed to our loss we can never get that time again!
But you have it now! so make it count!
If you are upset with your folks
Remember they too are human
They too make mistakes!
Those are our learning blocks!
Not stumbling blocks!
I make mistakes for my children to learn from, so they don't have to make the same mistakes as I !

WHISPERING SECRETS ?
Warren-Johnson Jul 2017
They by no means should be!

Yeah

But it's what our lives become!
That awesome unity we once called us❤️
We lead these busy lives forgetting how dear it is!
Truth is is in that survival and need to provide we almost loose that so precious to us, and sometimes sadly do!
As cat Stevens sang~
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not.

How apt lyrics are to our hearts desires, some never expressed
But none the less.
But I need need to write my own!
Providence sang~ "My Dream Is You"
I write from deep within and my closet lyrics so apt ~
"My dream is us"
Yet we pass each other by
On life's busy road with little action taken and given even less fuss!
So I'll write you a love sonnet
Maybe with a bit of a dare
I'll muster up the courage
And even share
Oh yes in a perfect world
My dream is us
I'll shout it out
No more I'll let us pass each other by!
Our love won't just be another whispering secret
Oh no!
I'll shout it out!
No roof tops high enough!
This is real!
This is love!
This ain't a bluff!!!!!
Yeah my Dream is us!!!

Smiles all around
Warren-Johnson Jun 2017
The smile
A wonderful attribute to our lives
Yet costs us nothing unlike its sister the frown
Just adds misery as it thrives
Feeling up or down
It won't do you any good won't add value!
No the smidgin on your face has no crown
It takes from us it saps us dry
To smile is free!
Yes why?

Cause It'll lift you up!
it'll drown your sorrows and let you be
It affects all around us just the same
Yes contagious it is!
To smile is bliss
Come on smile it's free

GETTING LOST TO FIND MYSELF
Warren-Johnson Jun 2017
I amble along life's dreary road
It's paths so crooked, and plenty a stumbling block.
Truth is we need them to get through those dismal days, although it feels as if this dark and dreary cloud will hang over my head for eternity!

And then tomorrow brings sunny skies as we forget their lies, those empty promises.

Thing is I have to see it! And it will all make me stronger yet!

My foresight tenfold gained those dismal clouds, I see through them for their worth!

I smile on my own as I forget your smile!
I'll laugh at jokes again yeah!
I have so much I've gained so much, yet I've lost so dearly and I remember again!
Momentarily lost love once more births such pain!

But I look up and remember I can smile on my own!
I know how to love without refrain!
Yes I remember I need to love myself first and all else will find hope!

Yes I am allowed to be first for once I'm the most important person in my life for once!
Its all mine I can have it all! life's mine again!

Why oh why!

Why did I loose sight of this to start!
Warren-Johnson Jun 2017
We live our lives so close to each other, But how often do we take our loved ones for granted, and in the rat race of life just pass each other by!
Unintentionally taking those so dear to our hearts for granted!

Take a minute, hold on to them for you never know when you will get the opportunity again, sadly sometimes if ever!

Live life like it is your first kiss, nothing should hamper you saying how much you care!
It should be free!
For ever there!
I love you!
Should be Something you show!
Not what you just say! You feel it why not show it!
Love is something of the heart that we wouldn't be the same without!
While you have them realize!
You have them!
Cherish them!
Enjoy them!
Show them!
Let nothing set that aside!
For you never know when tomorrow is no more!

I only had to look
Warren-Johnson Jun 2017
You awesome
I see you!
Although thousands of miles apart!
That only be distance
I'd walk
Without a doubt!
Or any other fear!

I see you for your truth
For I only had to listen
I see you for your integrity
For it taught me some of mine
I see you for your beauty
For I only had to look
I see you for your worth
For I only had to think
I see you for your love
For I only had to feel
I see you for your heart
For I see how yours melts mine
I see you for your souls glimmer
Even if, I only got a smile

WOW

I SEE YOU

From the heart
Warren-Johnson May 2017
If we don't act from the heart
Then from where?
For if it's not from the heart
Why bother?
Why start?

For if these actions are questioned, I hold my head up high!
I know the source be honorable, and I needn't be shy!
It came from the heart so to me, never a lie!

So if not from the heart
Then

WHY?

Fair game
Warren-Johnson May 2017
Love you as a person
a bubbly one yeah
I Adore you as a friend.
Heard your stupid comment
Which I take with much lament

oh you sent him a friend request on fake book, he's gonna stalk you hahahaha giggle, snigger  

So if I'd show interest in any pretty lady I'd be a stalker?

Well no! for after you I realize, you can't ****** me in the bedroom, I'd be the master there!

"Oh yes I'd found great pleasure!
Great passion and flair"
Don't we all enjoy being the best at something?  

Life's full of up's n downs and many a costly fare!
Which in your case led my heart to care!

But you be very folly, if that's what you think of me there!

Yes I now I realize why I put those barriers there!
And even more now!
For you'd need to ****** my mind!
To get my heart ever in a bind!

Oh if I showed interest,
I'd be not a stalker!

No this I can say without any shame!
I'd be not a stalker!
I'd be Fair game!

The sparkle in my eye
Warren-Johnson May 2017
I've lived this life with all its ups and downs and looking back, with some real valor!
They look up to me they expect so much I'm their life's Guarantor!

Oh I've often failed
Many a anguished moment, and even wailed!

But I won't give up

In great moments they be Elated and oh so glad
Or others if they sad
I'm there proudly! I'm their Dad!

The increments of success
Warren-Johnson May 2017
The true measure of success, pure life with family a-glow
Children's laughter and happiness a-flow

Sorely not the house we buy or rent
A humble life, with no anger to vent
Forget that prayer sent for wealth n prosperity yet
A life of true smiles all round, our sans pareil!

What is success
Warren-Johnson May 2017
We live these busy lives filled with stress
Fueled by the lies of what they call success
Be it a Lamborghini or Ferrari or even far less
We pick up on others visions, to which we aim our happiness

But, that be the true key to our success
Yes happiness
Our own true happiness
Only real key to success

Lives not on a key ring for
Or any other thing

How can I say this?
Because I've come to realize it only lies within!
So we lead these lost lifestyles, filled with lavish sin
Only to feed that monsters savage evil grin
Most importantly what I hope to achieve befofre im laid in the soil
If you want true happiness first find it in the one thing money cannot toil,

How I wish I'd seen this right from the start!
Oh yes true happiness, is only in your heart!

Getting there! oh I'll succeed!!

A POET NO LESS
Warren-Johnson May 2017
With pen we show our hearts
True feelings to our cores
Through this very medium we share it across the shores
For me it was my once wife
That led me to this strife

In healing I put pen to paper
That'll  be the reason we write
For they wrote on our hearts
Be they not the poets?
The poets of our hearts!

Warren-Johnson May 2017
Oh how I long for you! Oh how I paint a picture of you over and over ! In my mind that no artist can truly depict cause your beauty is not skin deep!

So the word Something keeps popping up!

So I've sat and thought this one through, as we survive relationships (some being nothing short of horror stories lol) and recover somewhat stronger and move on, we tend to give little of our hearts away in no hurry ! However when we do give in and say that four letter word, LOVE, we then give far more of ourselves to this, from a far deeper understanding of it in truth!

So that four letter word that so many times we become petrified of that is so often just taken for granted, has now become SOMETHING !
Yes as much as I try hold back from the reality of my emotions, in no uncertain terms it can't be denied ! There is SOMETHING !

There needs to be something!
There has to be something!

Why SOMETHING ?

Cause you really are quite something ! Quite an artist at theft, for as hard as I've tried to hold back and not give in, I catch myself dreaming and realize the reason for my dream is You ! As much as I don't want to admit! And there you gone and stolen another piece of my heart!   Thief lol

Not now
Warren-Johnson May 2017
How awesome it was, for She held my heart!
From the minute we met I couldn't hold back, I had no boundaries!

Oh she held my heart !

With sweet passion filled ******* so Hot, we could fire up a thousand foundries!

Oh she held my heart oh yeah!

She has Beauty she has! And wows all in her day!
With a ravenous smile, I just can't resist!

Oh she held my heart oh yeah!oh yeah she did!

I sit here pondering with all that's passed why does this feeling persist ?

Trouble I see it so clearly at times, with greatest of fears I have to admit!

She held my heart and how awesome we were!

Even with sheer stubbornness and greatest of will!

Thing is she held my heart and SO does still !

Onwards, forward in reverse
Warren-Johnson May 2017
To a few it might seem like a hundred years or maybe more!

But not that long ago a cloud was Just water molecules in the sky!
Now it's virtual storage on which we so rely.

A man to space, a far fetched dream!

But aside from technology have we grown?

Our societies riddled with rot
Corrupt and ****** governments
Crippled morals
Troubled youth
No path of truth

Bring back our safety
Bring back our innocence
Bring back integrity
Bring back our freedom

Be it creed or color that separates us, our manners, upbringing and choices may differ oh so far.
Those are only cultures!
Used against us as they manipulate and twist the truth those Horrid political vultures!

But one thing if you worth your salt, we share one common fact!
Our forefathers and their fathers built our societies on one common denominator!

We call on this Maiden who society has been forgotten!
Oh bring her back along with all her offspring from justice, truth and sincerity!
Oh to say but a few!

ETHICS WE CALL ON YOU!

The one true core value we know we can rebuild from!
We can can start by being true !

Let's fix our riddled world oh yes it starts with me and you!

Let's take back our values!

And Be our fathers pride!

Or once again are you just another only along for the ride!!!

Mom
Warren-Johnson May 2017
Mom
Her heart beats true to all her existence!
She is love itself!
It is real and has sheer persistence!
She'd walk her feet raw if that's what it took!

She instills her values true to her core!
Always kind!
Even when the rod were to make my backside sore!
Always listening!
Even when time is little, she is there!
Always caring!
A heart so strong, but always love to give no matter where!
A mentor!
If advice be sought, she'd be my choice!
A Mom
There to make affect, with the kindest of voice!

My solace
My matriarch

Chin up My Dear Friend

Only in darkness can we see the stars!
Martin Luther king JR
"(His word so true yet, I realize, far more)"

Oh but what are stars ?
Glimmers of hope ?

Yes for they are light
Far away
They are as our sun

Then why look to the darkness ?
For there is always light!

We Need to see!

Those heavenly bodies burn so bright
Have shown many a wayward stray home!

Why look to the dark what would you see?

Yes chin up cause it's up there they shine!
Soon you'll be home

Don't look down!
You'll sink!
you'll drown!

Don't let it catch you!
Look for the light
The answers always there!
You can!
You will!

Chin up see the way home

Cry out my beloved country
Warren-Johnson May 2017
Boom

Be heard!
Why be silent?
If you don't who will!
We all have to!
These corrupt leaches will bleed us,little by little society will be bled dry!

Yes you the feeble worm that just leaches!

Give us our country back!

If you can't make your own rather be a *** on the beaches!

Oh no they too are just leaches!!!
Oh no! What to to do?!?!?!

Here I sound like a preacher
But exposure might not have an immediate affect!
It may not show!
But but we slowly can get rid of these corrupt elect!

Make your voice boom Zuma down!
An idiot we given to follow!
With no skill
And words only hollow!
Oh what a clown!
Speak out!
Don't stop!
We all deserve more
Cry your beloved country hmmmm
Yes cry out my beloved country!

TRUTH
Warren-Johnson May 2017
How we sell ourselves short so often
We tell a fib or a little white lie
To avoid conflict
To save face
For a greater good

What a fallacy
A lie is a lie

How can one ignore the fact
We throw away our integrity
We don't show true to our character

Or is it that you are a liar ?
The deed itself is deceit
Double dealing
Trickery
Fraud
Underhandedness
Treachery

Oh but to say a few
When done to us we are hurt
Why not have that same integrity we wish be dealt our way?

Cause it's easier?
Is it?

If it's easier for you
Then you have no place near me!
I won't say I never lie!
Oh I have yes!

But it's taken it's toll on me!

I know integrity!
I know it's arch enemy too!

A white lie?
Really is that what we tell ourselves?
It's like getting leukemia
To cure  Emphysema!
Ridiculous yeah!

But I'll choose to rather be silent than lie!
I'll be the man I portray!
The man I want to look up to!

I have to try

Or I am just that same as that
diminutive little deed!
A LIE

Been there done that, got the t-shirt, hmmmmm no !
T shirts wear out fade end up in tatters
Life doesn't, it adapts, we just to often far too weak to see it!
Hmmmm maybe the only part relevant to the saying is if we don't take hold that at all we end up in tatters! We the become the t-shirt!

How about been there done that got a trophy to prove it !
Even if I failed there's a trophy
Cause I came back strong here to fight another day!
Sure to find a the way, or get up again and put another trophy on life's mantlepiece,

It grows
Is real

ITS WISDOM
