Cherish the little things
Cherish the little things
Iike good morning texts
Good morning smiles
And greetings from friends.
Cherish the hugs lasting a little longer
The smiles just for you
And the gleem in the eyes of those
held close.
Cherish the laughter of loved ones
And the sound of wind blowing
The glitter in the dew
And the sound of conversation.
Cherish silence
Music
words sent in silence
And love said in looks.
Cherish the sound of pages
And words captured in ink
In pencil
Dancing
Singing
And paint.
Cherish words that will never be said again
In love
And words of love meant to be repeated.
Cherish the second chances
And moments spent in purity
Moments spent living for small little things.
Cherish your beliefs
And hopes.
Hopes for better days.
Cherish those better days.
Cherish smiles
Cherish friends
Cherish what you can,
Because they are the most precious things.
Cherish I Love You
Cherish I Miss You
Cherish Warmth and Comfort
Cherish morning coffee
Little touches
Sunbeams
Rain
Clouds
the sights and sounds.
Cherish what you can.
It can disappear in a moment.
Lady Bird Mar 2016
he is so cold hearted
stealing her sweetness
making her tears fall hard
like hail in an ice storm
Iike cigar smoke he envelopes
her air stealing her breath  
a bad habit she can't break
she curve around him  
like a beautiful harp
while he plays that song  
that breaks her heart
Marshal Gebbie Mar 2011
Whilst wet with rain
beneath a tree
An introspective moment
had a sneaky peek at me.
Who am I and what am I
... and what have I to show?
And should I be concerned
that very few... may care to know?

Slightly left of centre
With a wrinkled, balding crown,
Scarred and bushy eyebrows
And a mouth that tends to frown.
A grizzled beard hides multitudes
Of sins I wish to hide
And the beauty of my burning youth
Has long since shrivel dried.

The paunch has spread expansively,
Athletic legs have shrunk
And my ****** performance
Has diminished with a thunk.
I suffer fools reluctantly
In fact, it’s true to say...
That my patience and forbearance
Is  more limited each day.

Pasta Carbonara
In a creamy bacon sauce
With a smooth rewarding merlot
Is my favourite fare.. of course!
Plus a stodgy Apple pudding
Bathed in double dairy cream
And a steaming cappuccino
Topped with chocolate is a dream.

A powerhouse of action
With the things I Iike to do
And a sloth, to beat the band,
When the Tax Return is due.
An ardent fan for Old Jazz
Vamped on keyboard and the snare
But the world of Rap
Just leaves my head In hideous disrepair.

I’ll face down bullies twice my size
And heaven help the fool
Who interferes with family
For I’ll hit him hard and cruel,
Yet feed me sad old movies
And, any given night, you’ll see
A little tear run down the cheek
Oh so, self consciously for me.

The woman is God’s gift to man
The statuesque, the strong,
The saturnine eyed redhead
Where the gazes linger long.
The magnificence of a ponytail
As it bobs along the street
Atop a Grecian Goddess
With her undulations, sweet.
And ****!.. there is that little dress,
The one that fits so well,
That amplifies your promise
And gives my senses Hell!

And there’s the need to tell the story,
To formulate the plan,
Initiate the living thought
In a delivery of élan.
To modulate the language
To win the ears of youth
With an oratory of promise
To impact them all with couth.

There’s commitment to your Darling
And a tolerance for the kids
And the need for good provision
So we all don’t hit the skids.
And the cat and dog need feeding
Plus the goldfish in the jar,
Then there’s Alf and Frank and Joe
Who all expect me at the Bar.

So what’s it all about you say
This parody called life?
Is it all a headlong rush
Along the road avoiding strife?
Is there any plan or sequence,
Does it pan out in the end
Or is everything a chaos
Driving me around the bend?

Survival is the answer!
Take one small step at a time,
Smile at dear old ladies
And your day will turn out fine.
Avoid the grim policemen
And skirt all growling dogs,
Be gentle with your Sweetheart
And don’t skate on jellied frogs.

The recipe’s so simple
The answer is so clear
Don’t complicate your time with ****
And, please pass another beer.

I know the fire of your eyes
When you’re sitting,wallowing in
My reflections that you painted
In your mind

I know those eyes got blind
They’ve been opened all
The nights
persistence of my visions
Made them gleaming so wild

I know that I make your libido
Goes high ,running your body temperatures like a boiling water
Darling
I’m your twilight

I know that I could cross your
Lines
I’m dauntless as you , the day
I visited your view
The day you savoured me like
Crystal **** ,bleu  

I know my darkness would make
You vague
And twirl around you like an abyss
Black
Feeding you my bones and every
Drop of my blood

You don’t Know That
I’m dreaming about
You every day and
every night
Every star every bliss
In the sky
Hear the harmonies
That have been spinning
On my mind but
You don’t hear

You don’t know
Your magic words still
Waltzing within my
Ears
You taught me
How to feel
These things I would
Never reveal
Wish you taste
Every tear
If I was you
I would kneel
it’s my
Fault , you can’t hear

You don’t know your
Phantom loomed out
Of blackness and towered Over
Me  
And I couldn’t find anything
To see
Except you and me
But you don’t see

You don’t know  that
I want to penetrate every
Inch of your machine
and
Breath under your skin
Let me call you
My ecstasy  

You don’t know
How to sense this
Ember that makes
Me suffer every time
I miss you so tender
Iike  melancholy
Lavender

You don’t know that I
Forget the words when
I see your multiple faces
Go with me off to the races
Dream wild with me like
Diving into the basses  
Within your soul a million
Places
l visit you
I visit you
to the starts
To the starts
In our breathtaking spaces I will be
Your forever shades
Alexia young Nov 2013
I'll give you tomorrow if you just give me today
Because memories like these are only meant to fade
Just like people Iike you aren't meant to stay
And promises like forever aren't meant to be made
Being stabbed in the back with "I love you" written blades
We think where invincible until we see what it takes
To put ourselves back together when we weren't meant to break

True love by: young junior

(Hook)
When love knocking on your door
You better get up on the floor
True love will never ever fall
Think twice and have some more (x3)

(Verse)
I got a pretty girl name Cheri
Her lip taste like berry
She sitting next to me drinking some wine
Everytime she look so fine
I love her so much
Until I won't let her go
Few month later I just let her go
My heart is broken like an arrow
There ain't tomorrow with out you girl
Yea have you ever lost someone
And the person won't take you back
And all the things you did
It wasn't your fault
And you have to accept it tho
Girl, people make mistake
I ain't  perfect
You know that
Just take me as your man
I promise I won't do it
C'mon let go

(Hook)
When love is knocking on your door
You better get up on the floor
True love will never ever fall
Think twice and have some more
Yea
When love is knocking on your door
You better get up on the floor
True love will never ever fall
Think twice and have some more

(Rap)
Roses are red
The sky is beautiful
Just like you
Girl, you are my light in the darkness
I just want you to hold me tight
At night I can't even sleep
I have been thinking about you
You mean the world to me
True love never ever die
If I gonna try
Yea yea C'mon

(Rap)
I'm was your man
You were my girl
We both should be forever
Girl, you are my best friend
I'm your lover
I just love you more than a fat kid that love fat cake
I won't leave you
If I do I will be lonely like a tree with no leaf
Iike I said true love is forever
If it was raining I will cover you under my umbrella
Even tho you keep askin me how many chicks am I  thinking
I said none
I'm just thinking about you
Every night and every day
She said,1-10 how much I care about her
I said, million times I care about you
I will never leave you like my pillow in my bed..
Richard B Shick Oct 2018
Loving thy self
even when it's just me,

I  embrace my ability to be happy alone.

Only to be captive to my thoughts that i barely control,

My thoughts usually unspoken  become emotional poems,

Built upon emotions
that i have trying to escape my soul.

Loneliness,
breaking through the cracks of my weary  mind.

Yet I seem to forget,
that I  am still  
bound by my demons
that are in control.

Hidden inside
trying to control
what little I have left.

Not to be free
until I accept my past
And learn to be in control.

Sometimes feeling trapped
Iike I'm left alone
with my demons.
Only to be victorious because,

I
LIVE
like it's my last day on Earth.

LOVE
with all my heart.
And always

HOPE
For a better
Tomorrow

Live
Love
Hope

Have you ever been
in the place where a **** you can taste
have you tasted you know but can tell anyone what it is
that the place where taste becomes smell
for the body that is the same
but have you had taste in your brains
Iike plastic, well not natural
something else

P@ul.

I want to rot
Iike dry-bone roses
poetic
pathetic
leaf litter
tread on me
til I return
to dirt

my purpose is rot.
Melvin Jan 2019
Our eyes were enough to ignite a flame
Not picture perfect but worth a frame
It burned slowly and yet so fast
But were there is love there's no lust.
So let's hold hands and hold on tight
For you my love, I'll choose to fight

From shadows dark to dreams so bright
In peaceful skies, we'll take our flight
Love me and love me only
For only you my heart beats dearly
Iike a paradise of heavenly earth
In awe you take my breathe

When faith and love walk the aisle
I hope its truth that will tell a lie
For vows are broken as words are spoken
And there's no gift for truth or a token
If honesty where not my friend
Yet this truth I'll hold till the end

Kiss and tell, your darkest truth
And I'll tell you as my deepest secret
When words rhyme and thoughts flow
I'll write of you as my all in all
So love me and love me only
For only you my heart beats dearly
Mr Xelle Mar 2019
Taste and see the wonders of my brain,
Sip the knowledge of another
You rather make love on a full moon I rather make love threw the thunder.

Where the rain have a sound and your body drips of Mother Nature.
Can we make love like lovers?
Where every inch touches your canvas of wonders..
Paint every inch erected like spring in me But drips like the heated summer.
I know you want me to be dripping Iike rain
You know I can bring the thunder.
Tell me....we’re lovers
Tell me....your pleasures
Tell me ... you will never leave and want me to hold u close like filthy endeavors

Even tho we’re in the shower I look deep in your eyes and can’t help but to smile..
Cause I pictured us kissing in the rain right under the thunder for awhile.
Dr Peter Lim Apr 2019
Each life
a path untrodden
every moment
a step forward
to the unknown
I'll be strengthened
whenever I've fallen
but will rise again
never ever broken--

never could I
be immune to tribulation
but Iike Ulysses
my dreams couldn't
be stolen
sailing through waters raging
the wildest storms brewing
I'll weather through
the most unyielding season

to live is the essence
it transcends every reason
whether I live or die
I won't bow out
I'm my undying beacon
Hold power like Meech,
Pops, told me to never be leech,
Young heads, i tried to reach,
But they too, caught up in the beat,
And not, watching the words that speak,
Poison into the soul, cleanse the drought, now its time to re grow,
Iike cornfields,
Suckas gotta take yields,
As make like pressure and build,
Rock with words, you can feel,
To ya braincells i heal,
No wack verses, for the thrill,
I spin it real,
Avoid strawberry thots,
Forgive me not,
Got me rushin, slowly brewing a concussion,
From these rhymes bustin',
Over the booth,
Most pick fakes over truth,
Attract hate like Trump,
Hang the Messiah, folks saying they holy, but only preaching to the choir,
God is on the street,
Let me repeat, latter day saints,
Aint really got the speech,
Say it in ya head, til the thoughts bled,
We at the cornerstone, of a bloodstone, hail fire,
Modern day truth tellers, sold as lair,
Stuck in the heavenly quicksand, no need for a back up band,
I stand,
Alone, wrestle forty days to forty nights,
Now i feel, closer to the sunlight,
Images appeared, i never seen before,
Conscious playing tricks,
I hear a knock at the door,
Is just my inner self, introducing me to more,
Let knowledge weigh supreme,
This aint a dream, just a glowin soul at a higher risin',
A corona peg
Desires the beauty of magic spell
Like a sweetheart
...
Approaching
Nearer
Iike a
Little rain

A dreaming kiss

Lost
In
Love
...

A pebbles street
....

Thank you journey fear to take
Pen and paper the child Iike make
Rubber to pencil fade away
Repeat to make me insane

Thank you my journey hear afar
Steps of little my road of tar
Close to open air to breath
Pain of window inside to seethe

Thank you my journey no empty chair
Turn of  left end right to repair
Weight to carry muscles to build
Thank you journey to wear my shield

— The End —
