Sing me a smile


I'm tired but I cannot sleep
It feels like I can't breathe
and all I hear is the sound of my heartbeat.
I want to close my eyes and be still
Be very quiet, I will when I will

If you stay and sing me a smile
I'll be free as a bird, just for a while
I will close my eyes and put my trust in you
This is the only way you can pull me through

Letting go


As I walk through the snow,
step by step to where I go,
you slowly fade away,
never known if you'd stay.

I'm all alone in the dark,
watching over a little spark.
Will it grow and will it stay?
Will I take the change or walk away?

No one knows what to say,
nothing we can do
to make the hurting go away.
It is a burden you must carry.

Learning to let go,
accepting what once was.
Never losing hope,
and remembering...
The past is the past.

Evil, nature's test

Twisting hearts, tearing voids into space
The good is gone, lost, with but a vague trace
By the cost of lust, greed and power, we are devoured
... Feeding dust, mistrust, evils seeds, this will be the final hour
Scattered, enveloped, planted in minds to let the eyes see
That man has been living illusionary free

Rise to greatness, everbody's granted
acces into freedom instead in life of the branded
Chance is one, unity is purpose
Army of all people, fighting the global circus
Resist the whip, endure battle scars
Accept healing so it can take away the iron bars

We'll pass, but only if man understands the true meaning of 'we'
To achieve 'we', let these words be what the eyes see
Cause we shall conquer evil, it is the key
Then nature will accept us, letting us truly live free
This is the gamble, could end up wrong
Don't let humanity sing a final lullaby song

Purity


A pure species,

or,

a pure people --

A certain portent

of

ultimate extinction.

Sakura

sky open blue
petals pinkish white
branches subtle breeze
gently heaving sunlight
cheerful moving memories
revival of heart and spirit
soon blossom will perish
for everyone to see
body breathless dreams
true fight of inner beauty
your life shall flourish
be all... you can be

Into the night

I am standing at the river,
looking into the blue,
and what's in it I have no clue.
Darkness shrouds the riverbank,
calling me either weird or crank.
Now I'm standing in the middle,
at the four elements riddle.
Solving it is beyond my reach,
something that no men can teach.
The forest seems to be calling me,
'welcome, you have so much to see'
Curiosity lifts my feet,
and I am stepping forward in a strange mood.
Walking further into the night,
walking till the new dawn brings light.

There comes a time

The thoughts of you
are warm and fine
but like so many things in life
there comes a time...

a time to let go.
It's not that you ain't special enough
but thinking about you
makes me weak instead of tough

and I know
there comes a day
I can give those thoughts
a place to stay

but for now
I really know
that it is better
to let those thoughts go

Err..., ummm.




Hi Dan :)

Sometimes thoughts pass through my mind
lines of poetry, or verses from a song long forgotten
Never the whole poem or song, just a few lines
to play ring-around-rosey in my mind,
then exit, stage left, leaving an empty place behind.

Sometimes a tune pops into my mind
triggered by a passing thought or a friend's off-hand comment
but once started, it plays on and on,
like an 8-track cart that's lost its metallic tape to change tracks,
and so repeats the same track over and over
until displaced by another tune.

Sometimes I see things out the corner of my eye,
A flash of light, a movement where nothing should be moving
a hint of breeze, a whisper of sound in an empty room
Is someone there, am I not alone?

Am I just imagining things that are not there,
or am I catching a glimpse of something that most cannot see,
A piece of a puzzle, like the snippets of verse or song,
Sent to tease me, then move on to tease someone else
But I like puzzles, and someday, I will solve this one....

Love

Love is mutual trust,
together, building a happy life.
Love is more than just a feeling
it comes from the heart.

Love is caring for each other,
not only today,
but tomorrow as well.

It means supporting each other
through sorrow and pain.
Each consolation
will be fine.

Love is walking,
hand in hand,
together, through an
unknown land.

Sometimes there are
mountains and valleys,
but with love on your side,
you will never get lost.

I come not now to best or boast, lest others misunterstand me/
I come in peace, which kitties know best.

I know not rhymes, allthough it seems, I can at times understand them.


I know I do not have a clue about rhythm, words, or rhymes.
I check the daily news for facts and words and times.

You know me be by my posts at times, some often rude and bold.
Many times those posts have been seen before, those stories have been told.

I only want to be a friend.......that term as used by me.
You can call me just what you wish to.

I only want to be known as ME.

Your kittyman. Just venting against a few who do not have a clue who I am.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

The Flood

What did they do to
our Holy Mother Earth?

How can they go on
without remorse?
Smog darkens the sun,
freezing the night
as wars to blame.
Go on and on in the Name of God.

Dressed in blue and white,
legions marching against
sheep of all kind.

Only cows and pigs
knew the truth before
they were slaughtered,
as the pipes of peace
started to bleed.

Tecumseh drew a
holy circle,
as Geronimo saw
the eagle land on
a silky line.

Waiting for the sun,
there was no mercy.

Till “Gloria” shone on
the flood of tears.

You

It has been a couple of years,
since you went away.
Everyday I shed a tear.
I rather had you here to stay.
Not a single day goes by,
that I don't think of you
I'm hoping you're on the other side,
thinking of me too.
I will always keep you close,
locked deep within my heart.
My love for you will never end,
I felt, right from the very first start.

After mailing this poem to my extended family, I can anticipate another
request to update the will. . .


Heavenly Reward


When I expire,
and ashes, be --
pour some in vase,
plant seed, in me.

A cheery daisy,
to become --
for bringing joy,
to everyone.

Just water, well;
some sunlight, too --
and, I will do
the rest, for you.

Your gift, to me:
Sweet harmony.

Beauty

Singing today
Waiting away
For something to occur
inside of me

Come by O thoughts
O beautiful ones I cry
One could not deny
One of those peaceful times

Through windows it must've come
Through angelic light it rung.
Into my cranium it crawled
And O the beauty I saw...

The Cutters of Souls


They're circling around us
in various appearances
We hope we'll never meet them,
the Cutters of Souls

They appear to us as words,
words hurting you with horrifying force
Because they're spoken by loved ones,
what we never expected of course

They appear to us as silence,
One moment, thoroughly chosen.
Silence speaking the most painful words
Cutting your soul into pieces, frozen.

They appear to us as deeds,
deeds so painful and hollow,
confronting us with a truth
We preferred we' d never known.

So cherish your happiness,
be aware of their presence.
The couriers of grief
The Cutters of Souls

One of a kind

You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with them honest eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and fine
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.

The night theater of dreams


Dreams, a performance in the theater of night
A blend of consciousness and subconsciousness
experienced as realistic

Where your deepest wishes can come true
as a mixture of fiction and reality
Where the unimaginable is transformed into
a truth that is only there to find

Where exiled fears and threats find their stage
to intimidate you unexpected
Where performances of the past allow themselves
to manipulate your psyche with endless repetitions

Where you wake up , your heart beating in strong pulses
and suddenly it makes you realize
it isn't real. I'm here, in my bed
That moment can give you such a great relief
But sometimes it's plain cruelty ....

Tender kiss


Woken by a tender kiss
Tangled in me
Blood flowing, streaming
Trembling, shaking

A world opens
A beautiful mind expands
Stars seems to be everywhere
As far as the eye can see

It is a feeling
A small piece of heaven
Rare to this world
And cannot be seeked

I will be woken
Gently
By a tender kiss
Today

Oonah ♥

Fly, my little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly my precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for here
Cross over to the other shore
Where there is peace forever more
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet again
Fly, and do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I will never forget
Fly, you little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Fly now, and find the light
