Looking Into Old Hobbies.

I was just going through my old notes on facebook and I seen some poetry that I wrote five years ago, I believe they are pretty decent, and definitely something that I would like to do again. I would like to share some that I have written with everyone; maybe someone will like poetry as I do or did. Mind you, my poetry is very sad, very heartbreaking, but I think as comments from my friends that some people can definitely relate. I hope everyone who reads enjoys these poems and are doing good in the journeys! 

  I SEE
  
   

I see the pain in your eyes,

   

I see the overwheming hurt as it seeps through the tears you cry.

   
    

I see the anguish, lies, and deceit

    

I see your end, your defeat.

    

 

    

I see your heart torn and shattered,

    

I see the pieces that are destroyed and scattered.

    

I see you stand there with a story you won't tell,

    

I see the story once happy that ended in hell.

    

 

    

I see the fond memories that you hold dear,

    

I see you trying to cling to a reality that now seems so unclear.

    

I see the guilt that continually lingers,

    

I see it fastened to your soul with icy fingers.

    

 

    

I see you laying there, feeling no need to go on,

    

I see the rest of you you hide from the world you have withdrawn.

    

I see the dark shadow that slowly becomes you,

    

I see I can help you from this fate that will ensue.

    

 

    

but in order to help you, you must understand

    

the first step towards healing is to take my hand.

    


SOMETHING FOR THE FELLAS 🙂

    

 

    
      A Mans Honor  
    
     
      

To live by my honor, I will not falter.

      

To defend the innocent, I gladly give my life.

      

To stand above the evil, I will outshine.

      

For it is my honor that I live by.

      
       

A force unseen,

       

Strict code I must follow,

       

For it is as important as the breath that comes from my lips.

       

Every mission I receive, I will not fail.

       

I will ride until the gallant sun rises again.

       

For when my body is no more, my soul still rides.

       

Rides to see punishers are brought to justice.

       

That they pay for their deeds.

       

That the code still lives in others who believe in it.

       

So as I ride

       

In either death or full blood,

       

The code is my life.

       

The honor is great.

       

And I'll gladly die for my honor.

       

 

       
         Sleepless Days, Unsettled Nights     
       
        
         
              
  • The Sun begins to fade across the vast and capacious sky.
  •          
         
              
  •  The stars twinkle with all their radiance, the moon with its sweet, gentle glow. 
  •          
         
              
  • The wind with its calming breeze touches my face softly with her fingers. 
  •          
         
              
  • The world is at peace if only but for a moment.
  •          
         
              
  •  It seems that another perfect night has come to life.
  •          
         
              
  • Yet, this peace eludes me, day after day, night following night.
  •          
         
          
               
  • It is the doorway which I can always come close upon but never open.
  •           
          
               
  • It is that burning light I can never reach no matter how hard I try to grasp for its warmth.
  •           
          
               
  • It is the happiness I once knew found now in only distant memories of a life I had long past.
  •           
          
               
  • It seems that my heart is filling with nothing more than pain.
  •           
          
               
  • Sweet, searing pain with nails that scratch deep scars across my soul.
  •           
          
               
  • Pain with eyes filled with nothing, staring soon to replace my eyes that once permeated joy.
  •           
          
               
  • Pain with lips sickly sweet as they kiss the very life from my body leaving me nothing more than a shell, another empty vessel.
  •           
          
               
  • I cry out softly as the warm tears adorn my face yet again.
  •           
          
               
  • I reach out to the beautiful shallows longing for a hand that is never there,
  •           
          
               
  • The voice of healing and comfort that will never show.
  •           
          
               
  • They eyes of softness that will never save me from this everlasting misery.
  •           
          
               
  • The purest beacon of light to which I'll never see.
  •           
          
               
  • Yet with each angelic day, each alluring night,
  •           
          
               
  • I shall lay with sleepless eyes,
  •           
          
               
  • And hope with false hope that one day,
  •           
          
               
  • you will reach me.
  •

Really nice, and yes, very sad but I see the glimmer of hope ! I especially like the last one I can relate to it and the pain I have experienced upon the sudden death of my son...

Those are very nice ... but, as you said, very melancholy.  = (

Do you have any joyful ones? = )    !!!  !!!  !!! __ !!!  !!!  !!! ???

I'll bet you could kill some craves writing some new happy poems ... I know I could use some.  One of my favorites in the melancholy vein is by Ella Wheeler Cox, called Solitude.  Perhaps you've read it ...

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; 
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer; 
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you; 
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many; 
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded; 
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

Please don't read more into this other than that it has been among my favorites and reminded me a bit of your work.
