Poetry Threat (well ok thread!) mark 2

[cath 55]

what do we really want from our lives
just what exactly do we expect
do we expect to party forever
or should we treat life with respect?

A respect we should give to life
cos its here now but gone in such an instant
a mere shadow in time which we dont always appreciate
we need to sit up and take more notice
of this special ride called life

No matter what your troubles or mine
we must take notice , its so hard to say in a rhyme
but like life, does poetry really really have to make sense?

Not sure if I’ve posted this one before, but.. anyway, for my lass, she makes my heart sing….. always has and always will. Children are true gifts.

I know you

Waiting for so long, with expectant anticipation,
Nothing could have prepared me for the way you made me feel
Gazing transfixed into your upturned face.
And when burying my nose into that special place
In the hollow of your neck, to breath your newborn scent,
I remember now, its you.
I do know you; small motions in your sleep,
The way you stretched inside me, the feel of hiccups
As they shuddered through me.
Yes, I know you now.
Hungry your head turns towards me, searching instinctively.
A small animal, with soft downy hair, and dark blue sightless eyes.
And as you drink your fill of me, my heart contracts,
Yes, I love you now.

as i stared into the light
bitterness crept in
with cutting scathing words
words that I wonder
you would say if you really….
knew what an impact they did have,
because you cant see
the pain, the hurt
does it mean its not real?
for you , for me, for them?

Or is this a game
something you cherish
rather than listen
and see,
no my friends,
i dont know what it is,
maybe its a page from JC?

ANGER

I feel real anger and despair
I want to take it by the throat,
Make it die a death its not being fair
It has to go, it has to choke.

The anger within deeply hurts
Not just those its directed at,
But the one that delivers such curt
It has to die,it’s as simple as that.

It takes over your logical thoughts
Makes you act not who you are,
Taking you into a different world
A world that should be afar.

So be gone this anger
That consumes my being,
You can no more, continue to linger
I must and will change this feeling

As i write this verse
I feel a calming that’s overdue,
No longer full of fight and curse
That anger never really had a clue

Joy, love, hope and desire
Consumes the anger deep inside,
Proving it to be but just a liar
Behind it no more will i hide.
