Maybe
Matt Kovacs
Maybe we don't want to be ourselves.
If we did what would be cool?
Not spending precious days fitting in.
Then who would be the fool?
Only living by ones law.
Going by the only call.
Maybe I'm just wondering through my mind.
You are welcome to wander with me.
And see what it's like to love mankind.
Maybe all our culture is drugs, sex, and more.
No worries in the world but yourself, what for?
They fill our heads with priests and the pope.
Looking through this smoke I see no hope.
Maybe I'm just wandering through my mind.
You are welcome to wander with me,
And then we all might want to love mankind.
Maybe if we even lived together we'd kill to survive.
Even if we all tried pushing it'd be nothing, why must we all strive?
If we were all stars we'd be black holes.
Just stealing and killing more poor souls.
Maybe I'm just wandering through my mind.
You are welcome to wander with me,
And see if then we could all love mankind.
(In memory of John Lennon 1940-1980

R.A.A. (aka R.A.C., my dirty old man)
I am in love with you.
Head over heels, out of my mind
in love with you.
I had to let the world know
Before I explode,
shooting esctacy out of every pore.
And the hard part is you may never know
that your laughter fills my heart
And every second of the day my thoughts are of you.
You may never know how i long to make love to you
and kiss your face softly
and serenade you with lullabies.
You may never know the lengths i would go to
to bring a smile to your face
and ease your worried mind
and wash your cares away.
And I won't tell you anytime soon,
But now all these brilliant poets know the truth...
I love you, baby, I do.
====================================
OH MOM:
Oh mom I remember when you said
You would Love me forever
Oh mom I remember when you would
tell me I must have came from heaven
Oh mom I remember when you told me
I was the sweetest little girl ever
Oh mom remember when you would crease
my hair and tell me It was spun from gold
Oh mom I remember how much I love you
but I need your Love now forever will be
to late.

Half of my body is now writing for you
Writing about the dark clouds in which my other half rests
The hope, the sun, the rays
I will meet them
When the grass will stop calling my name.
I have seen thousands of rocks thrown away
The middle of the half-man is now full of the thoughts which i have cast
Waves pour silently into the air
Where my left hand will fall
When the grass will stop calling my name.
=========================
The girl
Standing on the road of freedom
Stepping one by one
Wishing she could be there
Wishing it was done
She sees the end of this road
Or call it the beginning
The road gets steeper and steeper
This road is turning, thinning
But then the girl falls
She was almost there
The deep black hole
Life just isn't fair
She sees the ground
She wishes not
She sees her fate
She feels a shot
Just before
She hits the ground
A man in red
Turns round and round
A baby cries
A mother sings
Married couples
With their rings
She hits the ground
It is over
But in her hand
A four leafed clover

"We"
By: Kaela Jochec
We live in a realm of nothingness.
Where something is formed, then destroyed,
mistakes are made
and the human race was formed,
not to all godly and powerful,
but made to destroy,
the perfect haven we call "earth".
============================
wonderin why you left me hear standing in the rain.
wonderin why you caused me so much pain
wonderin why there's tear falling from my face
why didn't you come and wipe them away?
wonderin why you kissed me and then just left
then you came back, but there was another girl.
wonderin why i loved you so much, after you hurt me
wonderin why i was so dumb your lies i believed
wonderin why i knew her so well.
wonderin why it had to be my best friend. no, my girl.
wonderin, just wonderin
is this for real?
=============================
Where were you?
Where were you when I needed a friend?
Where were you when I thought my life would end?
Where were you when I was down?
Where were you when in my tears, I thought I would drown?
Where were you that hot summer day,
When I thought all my troubles were here to stay?
I thought you'd always be there for me.
You promised to me that you would be.
So where are you now?
Cause now is when I need you most.
You'll come home tonight, drunk, and boast.
But I won't be there,
You won't find me at mom's.
You may think that I think we're done.
But tonight borne, is your baby son.

SOUP KITCHENS
You talk of dreams-
You'll get a big house, a car
I talk in touch with reality
My dreams that cast shadows
Of poverty
Familiarity with soup kitchens
Run by rich church-going mothers
Trying to set good examples
Or forcing their children to see
A life gone wrong-
What they'd better not be
I'd be an example
Or a prophecy of a rebellious, drug-dealing punk
Who just might question his motives
As he serves me chicken noodle
From a big metal pot
=====================
UNTIL NEXT TIME
BECAUSE...
NOW IT IS MY TURN TO ENJOY IT
TO ENJOY THE PAIN, THE ANGER, THE HURT
TO WEEP & WILLOW
TO CRY AT THIS POINT
IVE LET THIS ANGUISH APPROACH, I KNEW IT WOULD APPEAR THIS WAY
I GAVE YOU ALL MY LOVE AND NOW MY HEART IS BEING GOUGED & TORN ONCE AGAIN
DRIPPING THE BLOOD, THAT MIX WITH THE TEARS OF FEAR I HAVE
BECAUSE, YOU HAVE NOT YET LEARNED TO LOVE BACK
BUT...
THAT'S OK, BECAUSE I LOVE THE TASTE OF MY TEARS
AS I AM CRINKLED ON THE GROUND
FEELING & RESPONDING TO THE PAIN, ANGER & HURT
THEN...
I CAN NO LONGER TASTE MY TEARS
I NOW REALIZE ALL THE BLOOD HAS DRAINED FROM MY HEART
AND IT IS NOW EMPTY & HOLLOW
IT IS OVER, I CANNOT ENJOY IT ANY LONGER
SO...
UNTIL NEXT TIME+
========================
how can I maintain
If I can stand the rain
I know I can stand the rain
But If it go on to long I don't know how
I can maintain
People say love is blind
But I don't know because I had a lot
on my mind
They tell me to stay the same
And everything about me they won't
change
I guess people wondered where I've been
I'm trying to find a way to express my
feeling from with in
People want to hate me
But someday they are going to need me
Just watch -n- see
But before I go
I just wanna let you know that
everything
I do is for you because I love you
And want to be with you

=============================
To Josh....IT didn't matter where you we're from or how much
you had to hide. .it just mattered that you were with me and
always stayed by my side. It never phased me how they said I
was too good. .It was just the fact that you were honest and I always understood.
No one expected us to join and certainly not even me
..you seemed to distant to reach that it might even take an eternity.
We related so well and shared so much..with one look in our
eyes an everlasting passionate touch. But it seemed you
cared too much what they said because you broke my heart and
left me for dead. You decided to go to someone who they knew
didn't matter, and every time I see the two of you my heart
begins to shatter. I can still see the love that it's in your eyes
..I can still sense the devotion that's supposed to be mine.
It's seems no matter how many times that I could ever tell
you that we were meant to be.. you ignore the fact and put
me in misery. She doesn't treat you the way that you would
like.. because she doesn't have our connection, that's only
mine. So when I write this too you it's because I still care
..and I know you do too. .because you wouldn't be wondering how
I was...if your feelings weren't mutual.-Luv4Sublme
=====================================
"I WOULD IF I COULD, BY I CAN'T, SO I WON'T"
it was in the spring when first we met
we glanced at each other, my heart skipped a beat
i was a fan of the beauty you had
and my friends told me to woo, but i said
"I WOULD IF I COULD, BUT I CAN'T, SO I WON'T"
as time passed by, it is now summer my dear
and for you to have someone is my greatest fear
i vowed to myself that there i would head
but my guts tied my lace and said
"I WOULD IF I COULD, BUT I CAN'T, SO I WON'T"
it's getting cold in falls my love
even my message couldn't be brought by doves
and my tears, i couldn't stop them, they had to shed
and so again my mind said
"I WOULD IF I COULD, BUT I CAN'T, SO I WON'T"
winter i feared as i have feared
time i have wasted made you leer
as i look back and it all just end
now i regret that i have said
"I WOULD IF I COULD, BUT I CAN'T, SO I WON'T"

WHAT ELSE IS THERE?
they are the live and living
they are the dead and dying
my soul is damned
and cannot be saved
i weep for those who flock to the nearest shepherd
only to be consumed by their own lust and compromise
i have heard to never give up hope
but isn't hope the same as greed
they are both the want of gifts and rewards
even if you are dying and have hope
you are still wanting a gift of life that god is contemplating
as with greed for those who seek material possessions
into the black abyss, i watched my soul die
everything that i had ever come to terms with
was slowly decaying and turning on me
we all have a secret pain that we try to hide
and hide we must!
=========================
What warmest days I miss from gentle roads
That wind along the unnamed stream;
The swimming hole was canopied by silver maples,
Where white birch trees angled themselves
Across the banks at the foot of the holler.
I kicked the dust as though it were a curious cloud
Of laughter under my feet;
Breathing Honey Run air and dust
Was good enough for one day in childhood;
...good enough for shy smiles and big dreams.
=================================
Rage
I hate you all
You hate me
Lets all die
But why won't this lie happen?
=======================
ME
So strong yet weak
So rich yet poor
So sad yet happy
So simple yet complex
So outspoken yet quiet
So here yet gone
So right yet wrong
So whole yet torn
======================
YOU. . .
Sitting here alone I think of you.
Wishing on every star that you loved me too.
You mean the world to me.
You are my best friend.
I hope on everything, that our friendship never ends.
When we talk on the phone, you're voice I long.
When I am beside you I listen to you breathe.
When I write to you, all words flow with ease.
When you are near but are not seen, I can smell your cologne.
When you are far I hold our memories.
When you are hurt I share your tears.
You are all I think of...
It is you that I need.
==============================
"You" Have you ever stared into a mirror until tears came to your eyes Each tear represents another lie Your life as you know it is over The world doesn't seem sober You stare every day stunned and amazed Everything seems so dazed You haven't spoken to someone in so long Your radio always plays the same song You always find your-self staring out the window You seem so high but you feel so low Seems like these feeling will never go away But maybe they will maybe someday
"Lilly" From barbies to bows To drinking and feeling low Lilly had been threw everything To the point where she didn't want to get up in the morning But, she bite her lip and went on She had nothing everything was gone The mom she never had to miss And her dad's new marriage sealed with a kiss Everything was so different There was so much that she had to resent Just one sip and there would be nothing else to say Lilly knew that her life was beginning to slip away But, then she decided not to Maybe things would change someday, some way
"Stranger" I'm in love with this guy Every time I think of him it makes me wanna cry I love the way his voice sounds It echoes in mind around and around But, yet I do not know him To him I am just a small angel with a sin My sin is nothing but love Caring and emotion is what it's full of I wish every night that I was in his arms If I was there I would not be in fear of harm I pray for the day when we will be together And in his arms is where I will lay forever
"Growing" To young to love to old to hate What does all this mean is there really fate So different in many ways But, most of the same rules to live by and obey Day by day goes by And more and more the feeling starts to die You wonder what happened and why this all became Nothings different but nothings the same
"I'm sorry" I hate my-self cause that I wasn't there for you I'm sorry I didn't do all the things you wanted me to do I'm sorry I never thought about your feelings But now all the pain and sorrow have came back and I am dealing I'm sorry I ever doubted the way you felt about me I guess I was blind but now I see I'm sorry I had to leave you But, I thought no one else loved me, there was nothing else I could do My last night all I could think about was you What I had done and what I had to do After I took that first sip it made me feel better I expressed the way I felt in my last letter Now I'm up here watching over you, hoping you thinking about me And all I can say is I'm sorry
"What would Happen" What would happen if we broke up If the world ended that would just be my luck What would happen if we never talked again If our love would have never been What would happen if there wasn't an you and me If we never met where would i be.
"A feeling" I am feeling something But, I do not know what it is it's so different I've never felt this way before But, I hope it comes back more and more I have so many questions about this feeling Is it love is it hate is it caring There are no answers to my questions But, wait the feeling has stopped and now it's over and gone What was this strange feeling that came and went so fast And why didn't it last?
"Hard Life" I cry my-self to sleep at night My life gives me such a fight Each tear that touches my cheek burns But,I guess this is just a lesson I am having to learn Maybe if my life would just end Maybe if I just had a friend They tell me life is suppose to be this way But thats not what all people say
"healing" As I walk down this road All I can think about is the love that I owed Every time that I look in your eyes I can see all the lies and it's no surprise Every word you said to me was nothing but a lie And now I feel like my life is over and my heart is begging to die I feel so alone no one wants me No one has ever truly loved me When I met you I thought maybe you were different But, now I realize you just never wanted a commitment Your not different your just the same All you brought me was pain Now i'm starting to heal And the pain I do not have to feel.
==============================
: last time i was here you and i were
curled around each other
sleeping inside a smile
and i didn't dream 'cos i
had no more wishes.
i was fooling myself into thinking
that this was all i could ever want.
limitations i put on myself
that i hate
i don't understand it
and you have to deal with it.
and i apologize beforehand
for any pain that i might cause you
for any time you might spend thinking of me.
let me tell you one last time
that i'm not worth it.
=========================
what a drag
another hand full of face cards
i've long since worn out my bluffs
here's a tip for the Dealer
i believe i'm gonna get rough
You gimme more of the black ones
and i want 'em all to be high
no longer wait for my moment
way up there in the sky
another round for a player
who ain't done nothin' but loose
high time luck be turnin'
don't need no more gettin' used
sixes and sevens and twos and nines
i'm tired of pretendin' that i don't mind
i try very hard wouldn't mind bein' rich
but i'm sittin' here thinkin' that life's a drag.

==========================
I was flying down by the park on my bicycle
that was about to lift off into the orange sky
now creeping with twilight and not milky at all
I saw the old man out there on the park bench
pretending to sleep
and wondered how he got there--
rumor has it that he went to college
and be used to play the blues, but
his mind got all quiet one night
and then screamed at the top of its lungs
he has never been the same
and as young children we would tell stories
about the blackness of his eyes and
how you can stare right through to the other side
I know that he wakes up at night
and wanders around this neighborhood, he scrapes out of our rubble
the things that we claim that we are too good for
and that he sees the things that I cannot
things that I am too scared to notice while I sleep
and he dances in the moonlight as he butters the night

Seductive Sketch
J Heckman
Shiny mirror-like finish, smoothed with telescopic rings,
self-centered for a moment.
Pressing engagement leaves a dime-sized impression,
apologizing to no one.
Quiet, distant echo, shivering hum in the cold eclipse,
paralyzed coagulate itches like a pesky fly.
Cheeks of gray splattered with life.
Whistling pump struggles with besieged subjection.
Screams subside, muffled with lost will, clenched
decision, a weeping smile.
Fingers frozen and sticky with times absence.
Tingling, I see behind my eyes.
Wake-up, John
============================
Detox.
So tired-
dawn broke, and my body
shuddered,
the demon inside me
dying before the light.
This is the last day,
ach, I know-
but the minutes surround me like cement,
and here I sit, rat caged and foaming.
Slowly, the potion leaves my flesh-
my skin is becoming clean.
In the meantime, I will struggle to breathe
without that which gave me breath.
I forgot, it was that simple-
now I am not strong enough
to remember.
===========================
~~~My Eternal Love For You~~~
Like the stars that stretch across,
a black and velvet sky,
your love reaches out to me,
it makes my spirit fly...
Like the sun and moon it rises,
in the east and in the west,
the love that you have shown to me,
it gives my soul such rest...
Like a sunset in the summer,
on a clear and cloudless day,
the love that you have given me,
it takes my breath away...
Like a rainbow of colors,
in a sky that once was dark,
your love has crossed so many miles,
to penetrate my heart...
Just as these things are eternal,
the sun, the moon, the stars,
each one in the heavens,
a glorious work of art,
so is the love we share,
for it shall never part...
In my mind these things are signs,
of a love that's meant to be,
as eternal as the heavens,
is the love between you and me...
I can see you, I can hear you,
though we're many miles apart,
I can always feel you touch me,
when I'm feeling with my heart...
One thing is for certain,
just as the things up in the sky,
the love we've found in each other,
is a love that shall never die...
=========================
So,
all out of faith, with nowhere to run...
searching for something you no longer touch..
Still,
how to let go, how to survive..
how to accept when something's not right...
When,
dreams that have vanished, leaving no trace,
just out of reach, far from your faith...
You,
learn how to hold on, never let go...
even when dreams have nothing to hold...
Which,
leads you to survive, to reach out and try..
to look up and smile, when you used to cry.
Then,
you reach deep inside, pull out what's left,
just to find all along
that strength is your faith...
========================
A Way Out
The words you have slaughtered me with,
hurt me so.
I hang my head in frustration and sorrow.
If I were not to kill myself,
I know your words would.
Like drowning in my tears,
in which you cause.
Or being stabbed over and over,
by your endless hate.
At my young age,
I fear so much.
I awake each day,
not knowing what to expect myself to do.
Will I slit my wrists?
Will I run into the night?
Will I take that bottle of pills set next to my bed?
Most times it seems,
I'd be better off dead.
When you wake one morning to find me gone,
because of those words said to me that were
hurtful and wrong.
==========================
all my life i misunderstood the world
i thought i was man and whatever i said was heard
now i know there is no man only beast
if you disagree then you are a feast
it is not up to you how life will go
it is only up to one man one being who knows
life isn't a game, you can't take a move back or roll again
you live with your decisions
you keep with what you've done
and in the end g-d is still number one

2-14-99
I don't know what to do
all i know is that i still love you
can you just love a friend
or does it have to be more
look at me
at the fast pace
now i'm down to a slow rate
pry me open
i'm determined to stay shut
I look at the two paths i have to choose
i look down and quickly hit the ground
i've given up
no strength left within my shrunken body
i lay boiling in the heat
wondering if we've conquered hell
I've got what i've longed for all my life
how can i let it pass by me
how can i just sit back and wave
Why do i make suck selfless decisions
selfless because it would do me more good to be happy
Why do i make myself miserable
Can i ever be whole
will i always be content
will i never see the point
What others shall see the end?
Pasty white hands
with blood stained fingernails
gently rub my back
but soon get tired of contentment
and decide to try the new
with the nails
my back is pierced
torn flesh reveals my tears
lonely and open
i begin to bleed
but no wounds are visible
What do i really need?
=====================
Your Eyes
I have fallen into a deep blue ocean.
I have escaped into a blue abyss.
I have floated into the bluest of skies.
All this magic I have merely found in your eyes.
I have ventured into a forest of blue.
I have lost myself in purity.
I have hypnotized myself in blue Madness.
Because of your eyes which I look into.
===========================
CRYSTAL
Crystal is the girl that I once loved
Hell, Crystal is the girl I will always love
She said that she was also in love
...the sad thing is, it was not I that she loved
She left me stranded
...alone...
...alone...
I was all alone in a world that now seemed fake
Fake because I realize that I was lied to
lied to by the one I loved,
but see, it's not just her who lied...
I would appreciate any comments as this is basically the first poem i've ever written. You can e-mail me at Llello45@aol.com
===========================
Isn't it amazing? How fast people can change...
Isn't it amazing? How nothing ever stays the same...
Isn't it weird? That no matter what you know... tomorrow it'll be different...
And I can never look in your eyes again knowing that nothing will be the same, I never realized facing the truth would cause me this much pain...
The look on your face says it all...
My heart stops beating, and to the ground I fall...
We can't change what was meant to be...
We'll never regain what was between you and me...
Say goodbye, and mean it this time..
Don't turn back, leaving isn't the crime...
We'll go our separate ways...
Maybe we'll meet up one of these days
But I hardly think so... Yeah I... I really hardly think so
In my silence I mourn for you...
Something I swore I'd never do...
I can't let go of that feeling lost...
I'd give anything to have it back, no matter what the cost
But I hardly think so... Yeah I... Yeah I really hardly think so
=========================
LONGING FOR YOU
Our love has long been past
neither one of us can truly explain why it didn't last.
There have been others since you,
I even thought I loved a few.
But you had taken a piece of my heart and soul,
and my longing for you had just begun to take its toll.
Even though you were gone, I just couldn't move on.
And still to this day, I am left with memories and filled with pain,
this longing for you is driving me insane.
When will I get over you I've wondered again and again
is there even a way, and if so, how do I know when.
===========================
A TITANIC VISION
The great one glides to her ultimate destiny
Soon to etch in time an infamous legacy
All souls aboard not knowing their fate
An iceberg ahead, just lying in wait
This huge ship of iron cutting easily through a wave
About to send so many to a watery grave
Dozens of safe crossings by its captain so proud
Confidence buoyed by calm seas and nary a cloud
Little children run and play on her gigantic deck
The Lord knows for some their parent's last trek
Young lovers completely oblivious of the future
Set plans for America, and offspring they'll nurture
But this massive ocean, earth's giver of life
Can be so unforgiving, making widows of many a wife
The rich and the poor stand shoulder to shoulder
Going down with Titanic, never to grow older
As loved ones in life boats hear those horrible cries
They are doomed to relive them for the rest of their lives
Will we all learn a lesson from this profound disaster
Only if truth is our goal and God is our master

GREY
You sit, all dressed in grey
and me within your mind
and you know,
I've been getting worse.
When you take a look at the big picture,
it's getting more intense
more often
more.
And you know
there's nothing you can do
but sit here next to me
Just feeling your presence
seems to brighten the room.
And I know there's nothing I can do
and this will destroy me inside.
And no one will know
except for you and I
and I will keep it silent.
We sit, all dressed in grey
=========================
LATE-NIGHT RAMBLINGS :
silvana
wasting : this sexuality of mine
wasting away : swelling up and dissipating in a flurry of frustration
my smooth tan legs quivering
clinging to one another with furious longing
my head tensed in a battle of will
each red-black strand of hot hair curving down and hitting my iron shoulders
with a furious twisting curl.
i refuse to be severe.
i stretch out
the curve of my waist and hips
full with every possible desire and innate mystery.
wasting: this body, this energy
into nothingness.
shameful, i think to myself.
================================
My fallen angel, you must know
this hand that craved your touch
these eyes that watch you lying there
This heart loves you so much
You're golden eyes are closed to me
and now I'm wondering why
You're dying right before my eyes
and all I do is cry
The man that hurt you cannot know
His pain has just begun
For he will know by taking you
Two will die instead of one
The last time you spoke words to me
your blood was everywhere
and with one trembling hand you reached
and lightly stroked my hair
You're perfect mouth formed fainting words
You grasped my hand so tight
Your lifeblood spilling on my lap
I plead with you to fight
If only I could reach your heart
beneath this living death
and give you all the love I have
when you take your last breath
===============================
Pain II
"I'll write a poem the next time it happens" I said.
Grief comes in circles. Bangles of colored glass
when shattered read light in different wavelengths.
Who decides the amplitude of crest or trough?
I am not the authority on definitions.
You say, love means to do good for.
Pain does not matter.
I say, I cannot determine the bite of crest or trough.
I thought, love was unconditional acceptance;
like the Great White Wizard I know,
who prepares regions of sorrow and calls Himself
Eternal Love.
Open palms are meant to be read.
Even a fetus knows this and will clench her fists.
Everyday, as life goes by us, small stigmata
appear and keep on deepening.
Such is real crucifixion.
Not even sybils get death when the ask.
What do you know of misery/or how I guard my grief?
=====================
LEFT FOR US DYING
All is dull, all is numb
Everything's melting before my eyes
It's ticking like a timebomb
Then she glances away and takes a sigh
All is ending, All is turning
They seem to quickly change
I know that I'm wrinkled and aging
But why are things going strange
All is wasted, All has been used
My prime has been consuming
And all that's left are completely busted
This is all that's left for us dying

ASLEEP
IN THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS I HAVE DREAMT OF YOU
ONLY TO FEAR THE HOUR TO AWAKE
DON'T WAKE, MY MIND IS TORMENTED
AS THIS CRYSTAL BALL LEADS ME TO THE REALM OF WHAT SHOULD BE
AS I LAY IN SOLITUDE MY FANTASIES BECOME REALITY
TAKING A JOURNEY THROUGH YOU
ITS ALL TO CLEAR, TO KNOW YOUR FEELINGS AND FACE YOUR FEARS
ONCE MY MIND IS AT PEACE FOR I HAVE FOUND THE CONNECTION TO MY SOUL
YOU CAPTIVATE MY MIND, MY BODY, MY SPIRIT
AS TO BECOME ONE, WITH THE FEAR BEHIND
ITS THE HOUR TO AWAKE AND MY HEART IS TORMENTED
REALITY IS LEFT TO THE IMAGINATION
MY DREAMS ARE LEFT TO REST
==========================
Though It Unveils
How open and seemingly dangerous
How like blood, can flow and soon harden
How like tears that can dry, and burn
How are these matters of hearts alone
How searched and sometimes forgotten
How driven and often carried too far
How physical and still spiritual at once
How are these matters of hearts alone
How high like clouds burn sunlight
How often low like sandy bottom sea
How unknown to oneself and others
How are these matters of hearts alone
==================================
the years pass bye
and time fades
as each passing day
goes a time less lived
have you ever though why we live
we live to die
we recreate and die
each of us knowing that we will not be here one day
it makes it hard to sleep, eat, and go on
why do we live to die
why do we cry
they say it isn't the end of the world
but in a sense it is
when you are born your fate is already determined
you are going to die whether you do bad stuff or not
it isn't fair
you try so hard to survive when all along we know where are going to die
so hold on to your youth and innocence
learn to love not hate
and you will make the most of a life you live
===========================
A Woman of Wisdom
Upon the winds of memories past
cares of woe she truly cast
N'er to stumble crossed again
the errors of her 'way back when'
Emancipated from her guilt
another patch sewn to the quilt
Knitting, stitching to the cross
all the errors, all the loss
She traded well, this woman wise
a brand new life, for His demise
Wakened to a brand new day
by the words she heard Him say........
"Where art thy accusers woman?........Thy sins be forgiven thee......Go thy way and sin no more"
They nailed the boss
to the cross
That in His death
we might have breath
"Thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the unfathomable riches He has bestowed on us by His grace"
======================
Last Chance
It is the time
Between
The late night hour
And early morning
I sit
At the Tap Room
Sipping
The last beer
Smoking
The last cigarette
The lovers
Have the
Last dance
As it fades
Like the dying
Nighttime sky
The last
Pool game
Ends
The last song
On the jukebox
Stops playing
I watch
The lovers
Give their
Last kiss
In soft rain
It made
Their bodies
Give off
A lusty glow
As a misty fog
Rolls in
And makes
The town
Empty like
My soul
As the
Last headlights
Are traveling homeward
