Re: All Our Poetry

It's the real Pedro and I enjoyed that poem about love and sacrifice it was cool. I liked everyone's poetry especially the funny one's and the heart felt one's. Keep on writing. I hope everyone get's comfortable writing on this thread, because it's dedicated to poetry. I see new faces and welcome each and everyone, and encourage everyone to write as much as they can. I am that kind of person that write stuff and than after a week or so I end up losing it. At least I know that there is a safe place here on the web where I know it won't get lost and where everyone can read it. Take care and keep writing.

Little Things Means Alot!

The smell of a baby
The sounds of birds chirping
Pushing MAMA in the wheelchair
Watching children play
Writing in my blog
I enjoy everyday.

Little thing means alot
No matter what they are
Such joys brings smiles to me
Enjoying on the spot.

Life wasn't always happy
Sometimes it was cruel
But now I know life's lessons
I know the GOLDEN RULE...

Love others as you love yourself
Be kind and not cruel
Share what you have
And good will come to you!

No Title

When you spoke,
Fumes seeped from your mouth and out your ears.
Turning your face red almost bursting in a mushroom cloud.
Drunken from emotion and side effects of the beer.
Feet sank heavily rooted to the ground.
Breathing were in solid heaps and making sound.
Curtailed by confusion madness and aggresion.

Than I shook you from the chambers of despair.
Held you in the vice lock of a bear.
Untill the dragon dispelled his nasty thirst within you.
And clarity took form and nursed you.
Drank to much I sat you down and had a talk.
You poured out your life drama,
I sat patient like a hawk, scoping out the territory,
While listening to your heartache and strife.
After all was said I interjected.
"Put this animosity behind, get up and start over,
aint got nothing to lose,
By hanging on to sorrow ya won't gain a thing but fumes."
You said I know a thousand time's but I wonder if my words went in?
Or were rejected?
In fifteen minutes you were in a deep snooze.
Oh well, I'll saved those words for when you wake up.
No more booze for you.
We won't be drinking again, but your still my friend.

TRY TO GIVE

Did you hear the one about
The guy that lost his mind
All he did was yell and shout
Couldn't he just unwind

Don't you offer him a beer
It only makes it worse
He needs a friend who'll stay near
And listen to his verse

Try to give a brother's hug
And hope you don't get punched
Pull him out the hole he dug
Help find the truth he hunched

GOD'S SPECIAL SHOW

Sunset tonight was wonderful
All the colors, starting with blue
The clouds were white, pale and orange
Making the ocean appear so foreign

They faded pink as the sun hit the sea
God's special show for you and for me
The sky went magenta then dark and black
Revealing the stars hiding in back

Out came the moon now for it's turn
There are sparkles all over instead of the burn
Help me remember to give you the raves
Either swimming or floating or surfing Your waves

You show You exist in so many ways
I'll glorify You all of my days
Thank You for life and the beauty of earth
Help me to know what in Your eyes I'm worth

Re: All Our Poetry

THE MEANING OF LIFE

Laughing and joking with my wife
Truly are the best things in life
Lifts my heart and makes it lighter
Sure feel sorry for the fighter

My friend and I down at the bay
Watch our wives in the water play
Afternoon spent in fellowship
Hoping one day we'll make a trip

Now calmed down and watching sunset
It's times like this we won't forget
There's quiet talk after dinner
Stories of God and a sinner

The meaning of life is from God
It's more than working in the sod
Have to share our lives together
So we see the sunny weather

THINK I TALK TOO MUCH

A thought crossed my mind
It happens all the time
What was it again
I'll try and tell you then

Re: All Our Poetry

YOU ARE DARING AND ADVENTUROUS

I'm gonna get a motorcycle
And find a gang riding along
I'm not talking the Hell's Angels type
Just a few buddies to belong

Or maybe become part of the crew
Of that sailboat I saw today
Racing along, working together
I know it was for more than pay

I have tried to find a bunch at church
They're either to busy or tired
Where is all the camaraderie
Just drinking coffee to get wired

God I know we must live by our sweat
But I yearn to be more like You
You are daring and adventurous
And I want to be that way too

Soulful Eye's

I've seen those hard brown eye's before,
leering back at me from the mirror on my door.
All the days I've seen them change,
From dull and plain, pleasant and amazed,
to sadness and pain,
Deep within the watery pool burried beath
2 Black holes full
Is the stranger I've come to know
Who's seen me grow.

Re: All Our Poetry

INSTABILITY

We're having to move
Just don't know where to
Being a renter
Is so hard to do

Living by their whims
The owners I mean
Now where do we go
To find a new scene

Must trust in my God
For He has the plan
Please help me dear Lord
'Cause I'm just a man

Re: All Our Poetry

My Gentleman

The sparkling stars
Shine once again
The full moon's passion
Lights Oahu's shores
I walk barefoot
In the golden sands
Holding hands
With my gentleman friend.

We just met or so it seems
He not judging me
For past unseen
But look forward together
To the future and what it brings
In bliss and LOVE forever more.

Re: All Our Poetry

FORGIVENESS

We've all made mistakes
And been sorry of course
To give what it takes
Takes more than remorse
For all of our sakes
Use the "Forgiveness" force
When it's love that we makes
Just go to the source

Re: All Our Poetry

Almost got hit.

Just walking down the parkinglot

with row of cars to my left and right.

without thought I didn't notice

being that I was strolling down the center.

I heard wheels screech and come to a halt in plain sight.

My heart jumped, as an automobile almost collided into me.

Inside two old folks smiled blatantly as they rolled down their window.

And than asked me for directions to Waikiki.

I caught my breath and instructed them, with malice in my heart.

Before they left one of em turned to me and said sorry sarcastically.

It's O.K. I thought I hope you get into an accident.

I sat in the office and wrote this poem just to vent some steam.
