"everlast" poems
I've drank the finest of wine
Down to the bottom of the bottle
Only to witness an ocean alone
Barely surviving my own hands
A fire burned through my viens
That was blew out by the wind
Breezing through the leaves
A calmness that sits with me
Before calmness dismisses me
I walked across the tallest blue sky
Where wide winged birds soar high
Til promises of white clouds turn grey
And so there I fell with the rain
Dripping through the lowest gutter
Many times I was buried, lying in dirt
Like a grave, needing no help
Finding the dark inside of myself
But I always rise with the blades
Of the greenest fresh spring grass
No matter what feeling I catch
None of them seem to everlast

Lov-ing Support
Teach-ing of Life
Help-ing Understand
Grow-ing as a Whole
Develop-ing as a Person
Laugh-ing as a Pair
Cry-ing with the Bad
Smil-ing with the Good
Comfort-ing when Frightened
Sooth-ing when Hurt
Nurtur-ing Love
Cherish-ing Memories
Create-ing a Bond
that is
Everlast-ing

Nothing is certain anymore.
I used to know: I miss knowing.
I had decided he was the one.
Forever. For ever. Everlong. Everlast.
But it wasn’t everlasting.
And now?
I’ve lost the partner to my dream.
Begin again. Start once more. All over.
New introductions: new dynamics
It’s all different.
Unsettling.
Exciting – I’m thrown off balance.
Soo much to learn.
What’s beneath the ripply surface?
Open up, prise to sunlight; I must see.
Figure: are you the new ‘one’?
A replacement?
A new dream. A new adventure.
A thousand ways to see the world.
Perspective dominates so much.
I think we come from similar mind
- But unless you speak I cannot be certain.
“What’re you thinking?”
“Mmm… I don’t know”
It’s a gap
Between thought and mouth
- I’ve been there, I’ve felt it.
We need to build a bridge.
‘Put your trust in me, I’m not gonna die alone’
I don’t want to. Not alone.
I need someone to accompany me.
I want a family.
Who?
It feels like time to settle in.
Who?
I’m tired of this game
This uncertainty
Either let me be alone
- Impossible for me, I know:
I ***** too much up when I’m single.
Yet there should be growth there.
- Then let me be with the one.
I know there is no perfection.
But imperfections may compliment.
I know it takes work.
Communication.
Sacrifice.
Energy.
Time.
I know difference must be respected.
I know connection is of most importance
- Or perhaps a close second to support.
And love.
But love grows.
Even arranged marriages fall into love.
Why not choose?
The one with the traits
The dynamic that is desired
Love will come
It always does in the end
So long as resentment does not dominate
The dynamic is soo important!
And the lifestyle
- What am I willing to give up?
What does he desire?
I’m over this dizzying romance game.
I’m throwing the towel in.
If not him, then someone else close by.
Because I’ve always had too many options.
And before that made me scared:
Given urge to ‘play the field’
Taste all within range.
Now, now, I am tired.
It’s nice to know someone’s intimacy
Exploring beneath the cloak:
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
I know it takes time
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
But trust me. Please?
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
Coz ****** I’m letting you in.
And ****** I want to show you my world.
And to see yours.
And when we escape this place,
Maybe just for a day or two,
But when we do,
It’s fricken beautiful
And we’re beautiful
And I know that.
Please. I want to fall into love.
Why not with him?

Independence street.
~~~~~~~
The summer sun went down on our love long ago
But in my heart I feel the same old after glow
A love so beautiful in every way
we let it slip away
I was too young to understand to ever know and comprehend.
You my Adam and me your Eve
owned our treasure,
buried in paradise by a stream;
all lost upon a hillside stump.
where the road bent in.
There I've read between the lines
your love was written not
in any shifting sand but in heart.
The Earth's sand doons account
for the measure of my sorrow
for our loss.
Recovering that memory chip saved
my life averting neverending
pain an upside down cross.
A love so beautiful a love so free
A love for you and me
And when I think of you I fall in love still again as every good man is taken.
A love so beautiful in every way.
Your love now transfers to my new love finding me adrift in that dream.
A love so beautiful it is written
In poem, and in song.
Seen in movies, operas
and lullaby's to heal hearts strong.
Stripping the mind of misery
and pain as lost is found.
A love so beautiful it's read sparkling
as diamonds in shifting sands.
A love so beautiful kept secret
in our cave of wonders for lovers
writing daily to one another
where magic and true love abounds.
A kind of love to everlast.

I have found an inner peace
free from the toils that never cease
far away the pains have past
free for once to everlast
listen to the wind blow free
I listen with my heart you see
I could no longer bear
the shedding of my soul to tear
the ceaseless pulmelling
the overbearance I could not fling
but now my returns are due
through a dark valley I made it through
for on the other side there resides
a lasting peace by the riverside
cross over the waters of life
come with me , put down your strife
let the river sweep away our past
let this river crossing be our last

Smile so soft, eyes so clear
Thoughts adrift none doth hear
Moonlight fell upon, a glorious glow
Came to life, sure but slow
Sparks did ignite
Brought about a crystal light
Long, slow, and sweet
Urgent, passionate, deep
Love this true
Spurred a life renewed
Now from within
Far beyond and in
Desire for true love's face
Hope to bring about one's fate
Hold so strong, so sure
Heart so warm, so pure
Promise this I so
'Till my last breath draws through
Earth to sky, sea to sea
Our love will forever be
Warmth so vast
May it everlast
Embrace, oh! Sweet embrace!
For if gone, none shall replace
Fly away unto the star
Take this love, for love to far
Hide it there but show to all
For if this be foolish, may it fall
Blessed be this loving heart
Joined with two, never part
Now and forever, we unite
True lovers, blue and white
From the first dawn to that far away dusk
Fill the air with love's eternal musk
In heart, in soul, in true love's whole
Together, two hearts become full
A vow never to end
Pure and true, unable to break or bend
With all I am, I promise thee
Our love will forever be

Everlasting Life or demise
a narrow path accepted by the wise
come our King, a fright to some
to us, a future brighter than light
my enemies caught as quick as lighting
caught by the Element of surprise.
spirits of good and bad will clash
our Water of Life will come with a splash
watch out for the Element of surprise.
He saves up His wrath of consuming fire
- for the world must know of His strong desire -
to engulf all with passionate fire
which flame will you invite?
Holy Spirit or burning smite?
be prepared for His element of surprise.
closer than air you now breathed
fill us Spirit with a gust
spare us from everlast' Heath
obey and wait is our must
bend and shape us with Your Wind
we are gracefully broken, now ready
for Your Element of surprise.

I rely upon the smile to deceit
For every person it's a repeat.
They talk to the smile and it replies
While I watch, as they eat the lies.
They compliment and gesture
The mask smiles and responds, so pure.
No one sees the face from under the mask
With the flawless smile seemingly everlast.
It takes a person with the same painted smile so see the darkness behind.
As it brings upon the pain that will make your thoughts rewind.
It takes the same smile to know what has to be done.
To remove each other's mask and say that you have won.
I sit here and re-read what I have written down.
My smile agrees, but with a frown.

each time that
m y m o u t h m i s s e s y o u r s
my jaw clicks,
just a little bit.
raw, red, renegade
everlast lips,
embraced by my face with
c r u s h i n g,
punishing hits.
south paw kid
so i always lean left,
but you can view through me
so there's no defense left
i know it's a battle
to win at all cost.
but
m y b o d y
wasn't built
to lose how we lost.

I knew the moment I saw your face that I will find the real me only if I have your heart for ever
Stole my heart then I stole yours
I look at myself in the mirror all I see is us
Sometimes when I am mad I act weird, I don’t call, and I don’t text and when u call I hang up
But deep inside I know I am wrong, I should pick them I should text, should call.
To me u are an angel, u embraced me when every one else was busy judging showed me the right path
And every time my phone rings I always hope it’s you
Crazy, freak and stupid they can call me because of you only.
We converse till late in the night but still can’t get enough of each other
You and my poetry are the only thing that I commit to
Remember those first days when we took late weird walks along the river banks like freaks
Kissing, caressing chatting enjoying the breeze
The sounds we hear was our hearts beating, the water rushing through the rocks we call “guu”
The feeling inside our hearts was splendid
Even the skies were happy we finally met
And the dazzling moon shined bright we my lips met yours
Sometimes when I have a bad day and my spirit is low
And my life seems like a dark tunnel
But when I hear your voice and I smile for the acquittal
You will be my last
I know we will everlast.
And if you ever leave u will still find me in this love that u left me in.
and if you never come back i wont forgive myself for letting you go.

Up until now, I can't keep asleep
As I reminisce about our past
And our memories embedded in too deep
I wished it wasn't the last
But it was and it's for me to keep
because memories everlast
but our love to be reaped

I listened to a song that reminded me of my mother today,
but also that reminded me of me,
but also made me think of Sydney
though I won't talk about that,
I suggest listening to it.
Or simply looking at the lyrics.
White Trash Beautiful by Everlast.
I say that it reminds me of my mother, but it
mostly reminds me of my childhood.
Childhood car rides,
specifically from home,
maybe late at night.
She played things like this
and Metallica,
I was raised on everything, really.
I was raised on the musical staff.
When I was younger,
9 was late
so the stars and trees and clouds and world that passed by
so quick at night when I was sure
a monster would swallow our car
seemed to simply protect us
and the thumping of the stereo,
her hard, glazed over eyes locking on the road in front of us,
I dozed in and out of consciousness.
the song.
reminded me of the way people release their issues
in the music that they make
or that they listen to.
My mother drowned out her
failing marriage
drug addictions
and her mental illnesses
and me
and everything else,
with music
and alcohol
and more drugs
and more men, the kind that
couldn't keep their hands to themselves
those kinds of men.
There were songs by Everlast that just
made sense
to her
and I never
really
understood, I mean, I
was as a toddler, why would I?
I had too much going on in my kid mind,
I'm sure.
but I get it so much now.
I also recommend
What it's like which is also by Everlast
Because I get that, too, more than
I think
most.
the song
I was talking about first
isn't supposed to be bad, right
I think it's mostly the music
that reminds me of my mother-
of my childhood with my mother.
I try not to think
about things like that too much.
but I promised to try and start opening up more.

The half smoked cheroot you dropped and trampled underfoot
was like the
time you stopped and walked all over me
or was it time that stopped?
was it I that dropped
off the climbing frame and cut my leg?
and begged you not to go but you went anyway
and we didn't play together any more.
Then twenty years on when the pain of you was still as fresh as if someone had painted it in everlast and we all know those things that shouldn't last but some do.
that was how and when time flew
I followed you again as if back on the climbing frame and aching for a cut or two
you
just smoked a pack and blew the smoke in curling blue
and with the picture cards that posted on the books we knew
we played that childish trick or treat
you tricked
and I never got the treat
but if I meet you twenty years from now
I know that I will find somehow
the match to light your cigarette
the flame to make you want to get
another climb
two children in the frame.

My evermore and everlast, to be yours, to be true.
To be fabled a task unconquered- lay with lions and kiss them too.
I will spend a thousand years doting on your every move.
My evermore and everlast, to be yours, to be true.

Be my words that my heart can't stand
Take a breathe and hold my hand for the
Last time I'll ever feel
Will be the last time I know you are for real
You guide me through the poorest daze
Of my classroom detention haze with the
Soft lull of your beating heart it's
Getting harder to fall apart however
When you're gone I don't want to be without
Your arms holding me I wish
That Heaven did exist but you know well if
Heaven was real we'd go straight to Hell
But this bond it is meant to be that
You and I were made to see only
Through the touch of your lips to mine so
Drink me up like a cup of wine and make it
Last until the end of time

A kiss goodbye,
I cannot understand
The kiss goodbye,
It knows it's end before it has come
The kiss goodbye,
It knows it's own end when it is done
The Kiss, the very last,
Never achieved everlast
A kiss you wanted to exist in a permanent state
Niente per niente, Amore mio vecchio

My soul
at unrest as
my heart and ***** need
suspense in your bare repose
first, touch me
in breath excess
unending prose.
I see my soul
collide with everlast
as I ever die
in your
touch!
touch!

The shape
of you
goes fast,
as do dreams
of everlast:
please stay baby,
please stay
around:
a second with you,
I raise The Crown.

Left here wondering, where you have gone
Trying to find out why, or what i have done
Wishing for words, or a hello this way
Feeling the passing of another day
Days become weeks, months are longer
Wondering whether you are, as i'm growing stronger
Looking up with wide eyes, as i hear your name
Do you i ask, do you do the same
I fear not now, as time has passed
But the feelings remain, and do everlast
So the time has come, to give up, and let go
Let life embrace you, let life flow

My face brushed against a soft sheet
Window breeze billow my curtains
Sun light grazes my sleepy eyelids, so sweet
The light is strong but beautiful
The light whisks around my room
Shadows dance between my walls
Summer air drowns my lungs
My senses remember so vividly, they remember it all
I hold on tight, tight, tight
to the memories of summer days
During these long winter nights
and the cold, white stricken, haze
Sun light grazes my eyelids
But I am in your arms
my senses remember
Smiling, I stroke your forearms
Winter is no longer harsh
I have gained a constant light
Our love as warm and sweet as summer days
Everlasting through the winter twilight

find me sleep and take me
to the place I want to go
no sadness depth of missing
crushing tales of woe
thunder past the stars
silver dust across your eye
rain the dreams of everlast
where steeds of diamond fly
if the dark should keep me
just know i found my place
i’m back where I belong
a dancing smile on her face

Life is like this greyish purple sky, - or is it smoke? - a strange and foreign concept, Life here in the most vivid and true sense of the word. The everlast of screen-bright polaroid collections and radio station lovesongs play up the impossibilities of any kind of breathe and let go, of give yourself kindly, irremediably and unbridled.
But no white plastic frame can tame a nose's redness, from the sun's kiss or a frosty, tender January bite. Love-in-the-making is an art, so I'll try not to lose it.
