No one is allowed to die
Do not feel dead tired
Do not say
I may
Die
And starting
Saying to all of us
Many good bys

Do not mention death
Sing life
To the last minute of it
Sandy never mentioned
She would
Die

But she loved to travel
To another life
Full of joy
Full of life
There, there
All will be singing
Songs of praise
To the only
God there
The creator of beauty
Love
Kindness
And all

No one can claim
God to be only his
He is for us all
All……
Love he is
Praise God
Good by Sandy
Till we meet again
Love……
From all of us

Here is a theory that has been kicking around in my head for the past year or so
Hope u like how it came out as a poem:

Sometimes I think
that life sometimes seems so unfair
I wonder why I should not think
It’s not me,
Why should I care

Is it all out there in some master plan
that suggests if I do good
I can come back again

But if that is the case and this I do know
why would I choose a life that would hurt me so

We dance on this earth for a blink of an eye
Compared to eternity we don’t ask why

How long is forever plus one more year
is yesterday just in the past or
a well deserved memory near

My guess is that you live your own life
but compare it to none
Do the best that you can
and then you are done

The Choice is yours when it’s the end
Do I rest in peace or begin again

Your questions might be
a chance to start brand new
the answer you see
it’s easier to do

The Key here for you at present may not seem so bright
to choose a way of life
that makes you cry at night

Unlock your mind and it’s all crystal clear
as bad as your hardship
you have nothing to fear

Still thinking hard,your mind is untapped
One Key in life is learning to adapt

Imagine a world where the world is flat
No mountains no worries no more struggles to give
After your goal has been reached
where’s your reason to live

You are more than just a human Being
and that might be mind numbing
But don’t settle for less
you are a Human Becoming

Thanks Sohair… I need to think of some more… I will try it again

Hi, I’m new on here, and Sohair encouraged me to post something, so I guess I will just jump in head first!

This is meant to be less depressing than it may sound:

Dead I Walk

Holding me dearly free
My chains restrain me
I can not touch the scarred remains
That left us standing
Empty handed
Empty hearts
Still burning with the fires
Of loss and pains long felt
I dwelt upon the open sores

I’m born like broken wings
I touch the empty soul I have
And feel your mind still in me
Where have I gone?
I wonder why I ask
I know the place I laid to rest
And never woke
Never spoke
The dead do walk

Here midst swirling sands
Here in halls
And sweet green lawns
Among the mighty towers men have built
We dead walk daily midst
The few that still can live
We the ones that broken give
No more but painful woes
Then lay to mend our ether wounds

My piercing lays before me
The point to cut me through to bone
My heart broke open long before
The blade now brings me simple closure
Cool like rain
And soft like a summer wind

The piercing of those words gives light
And in my waking
In my movement
Death to life
Sin to grace
Emptiness now flees my face
I touch the wound and am reminded
To know the worth in life
Death becomes my closest friend

This is a poem I wrote for my mother who just very recently passed away on March 7, 2009.

It’s early March,
Daisy sits on her perch looking out the picture window,
A cold winter wind still blowing in the air,
Today a rain is falling softly upon empty trees,
You should be here sitting next to me,
I wish this was easy,
I can’t stop thinking of you.

Three angels have been with you for a while now,
Giving you comfort and peace when I could not,
A compass guiding you through rough storms,
Still, I can’t stop thinking of you.

Your beauty I will always see,
Aunt Judy calls it peaches and cream,
With locks of your strawberry blonde/red hair,
And freckles I could never fully count,
I can’t stop thinking of you.

You taught me to love myself,
Enjoy the simplest things in life,
How to be a true friend,
I think I emulate you,
I can’t stop thinking of you still.

I will always feel your soft hand when waking me in the morning,
Your arms will always be around me,
With the tender sound of your voice in my ears,
Comforting me through my fears,
I can’t stop thinking of you.

You have been so strong,
Fighting for the ones you love,
I know this journey was long and hard for you,
But today you are in a better place up above,
There are so many reasons to love you,
I can’t stop thinking of you today.

Yesterday you turned a new page in your book,
Your book I plan to read over and over again,
Chapter by chapter,
Keeping each word close to my heart,
Each page is inscribed forever in my soul,
I can’t stop thinking of you.

When I look in the mirror,
Or reminisce through pictures,
I will always feel your love for me,
And the gentle touch of you hand,
I can’t stop thinking of you again.

Did I tell you I love you today?
I will always love you today,
More than yesterday,
But not as much as tomorrow,
I will keep your memory alive,
For you are my Mom,
Mom I can’t stop thinking of you,
Mom I love you.

when we die
we don’t go away
we never do

when we’re gone
we always come back

and then we dance
we dance to the beat of your heart
to the pulse of your blood
to the music in your mind
we dance
guided by
the ryhtym
in your soul

rain pitter patters
lighly scatters.

swishing swashing
tires are washing in the wetness of puddles

time it meddles, feet press peddles

i listen in the comfort of my bed

Welcome Mark,very happy you joined us

SPRUNG

Buds break through with force
As winter releases her grasp once again.
Spring births life
In the peepers in the wetland,
With their joyful symphony.

Flowers announce the changing of the guard
With their fragrance,
A siren song.
It is irresistable
And hypnotic
And beautiful, all at once.

One by one
The allies of spring
Peel back the clutching fingers of winter
And she loses her grip,
Retreating once again,
If only for a season.

And life takes center stage,
In all of it’s simple, complex glory.

94

Craig,
Complex glory,
This is my birthday present from poetry club,
So beautiful.
Waiting for more and more inspiring photos.

If I Had One More Life to Give

Jovanni de Jesus

If I had one more life to give,
I’ll walk with you in the rose garden,
Be with you in smelling the flowers
And pick off every thorn that sticks even.

If I had one more life to give,
I’d go ahead ahead and stay up late
Wait for your mesages to grace my ancient phone
Though I always though, they were never so great.

I will talk to you until the sun goes up
Fill you in on what has happened for today.
Tell you that I just need to grab a quick cup of latte
To find the courage to say, “I love you, please stay.”

I would probably hold your hand,
If I had one more life to give.
Then I’d tell you how much you mean to me.
Without you, my world will cease, no sense to live.

My eyes shall tell me this is true
No one will be dearer to me than you.
The sly ray of sunshine tickling my face
Tickling my spirit, even in the gloomy, cold haze

If I had one more life to give,
I will never give it to you.
For all I know, you already have it.

And it will always be yours…

When my hamster nips, Mom gets a strip
She tells me not to trip, if I do I’ll drop the drip
Then I test and that’s not a jest
But now I’m on a quest
I’m searching here, I’m searching there
I’m searching everywhere
At last! My gloves are lost no more
Now my fingers won’t get sore
When my hamster nips, don’t get a strip
No test, no jest and I think you know the rest
