High school sweet heart

I dreamed about you

You were perfect

You lightened my days

 

One day you were upset

I told you "I like you"

Out of vanity you told other classmates

You laughed about me

 

You didn't know how cruel you were

You didn't know how hurt that was

You didn't know how fragile a heart can be

You didn't know

 

You haughtily said, "Ok, let's be couple"

I didn't see love

I didn't see care

I shook my head "NO"

 

But I didn't regret

A smile finally on my tear-stained face

"one day you will know

One day you will grow up"

Smile on my face

On my way

a similar experience like yours fills my brain

she was attractive, but nothing insane

 

i got the laughter and embarrassment

fueled my disgust and disappointment

 

but as of today time did tell

i look good. she looks like hell

 

but in a way its good she did what she did

because a few years later she was unwed with a kid

 

its good lovelybird, to say what you say

looks like we both come a long way

the first time i read 'call me'

they felt like no better words said

my soul bubbled up in glee

it made me so happy

 

i never thought they day could get better

until i heard your voice the first time

like making a rare discovery

i want to recapture that feeling

but you only get that once

 

what makes a voice so special

is not so much the sound

but the inflection

 

two people nervous

on either side of the line

trying not to show it

but both having a good time

 

words are spoken that are barely listened to

both basking in the delight

of each others attention

 

the talks are always too short

 

as well as the occurrences...

wow i love my avatar

i really really do

it kind of scares me

how much i like the them

 

i have many others i cannot wait to switch to

but i wonder if there is a problem underlying

because i relate too much to the wolf

it doesn't work out for him at the end

 

what does it all mean?

this fascination...

there is a story here somewhere

how does one read one self?

how does fire know Constantine?

that's what i would like to know

from the early days with the Thing in the Swamp?

surely not the movie, oh no!

 

a human trouble maker on Earth

saving the world more than once

even appearing in My Blue Heaven

a figment in the mind of creator

 

he looks like Sting

and does the Brit thing

smokes a cig

and ruins every gig

 

Abby can't stand him

and Alec can't either

but is it all an act

beneath his tough exterior?

 

how does fire know Constantine

probably just fly by night fan

but its a free world i guess

to me, JC is The Man

Summer Study of the Prophets

 

fiery shepherd Amos

frothing at the mouth

launched his word bombs

at all and sundry

folk he hadn't lived with

but only slightly to the side

a sense of righteousness

and a loud voice

his chief guides

 

he had heard the gossip

knew their evil

and their deeds

and requested that God speed

retribution for not three

but four sins (the last unforgivable)

committed by

disintegrating neighbouring tribes

 

he lists their transgressions

with such superior precision

and lascivious detail for one

I have to wonder

if he was Aryan like me

not born under Tekoa's sun

I've been heartless

I've been cruel

I've amused myself

making hearts into gruel

 

Let my soul go numb

and my ears go deaf

and my eyes cloud over

then I've up and left

 

I've caused more pain

than has been given to me

so I wait and wonder

when will my turn be?

 

what goes out of me

will find it's way home

probably when I'm grey

and wrinkled and alone

 

I've been heartless

I've been cruel

one day I'll be traded

like a sick old mule

I've spoken a lot

and listened as well

I've held some words to my ear

like a shell that echoed

from a distant shore

i'm on the other end of such behavior

and i'm almost out of forgiveness

 

almost

 

i try not to let it change me

turn me into something i'm not

something i don't want to be

every action has a reaction

and its usually pain for the victim

 

i hope for karma

i hope for justice

even the biblical seven fold restitution

 

but it just seems its our fault (how?)

or share in the blame (again how?)

when all we want is what was ours in the first place

 

pain creators turn us into monsters

its a curse

like the wolf

 

it must be nice to pay for your transgressions

when your old

while we get to suffer

during our best times

Permission you do not need to ask

Really, the pleasure would be mine

Indeed, just keep in mind

Very strong stuff may be in my words

And I ask one word remain true

Tell me the word I speak of

Easy it should be

truth is the word

i fear it not

 

truth is part of it, without question.

however, the answer you seek to tell me

is DOWN above...

or honesty

i would not come unglued

with honesty

I've tried in my own veiled way

to be honest

One letter at a time...

Own vanity

 

It is the reason love turns into hate

It is the block hinders river of love

It is the blinder that makes me cannot see

 

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go

 

Loving perfect is easy

Loving imperfect is challenging

Why cannot I see

nobody is perfect, including me

 

Then I began to understand

Love yourself as you love others

really is the way

wandering through the streets

of our old 'hood

light at a summer evening slant

gleaming pinks and golds

 

present is the past

in silky slipstream now

we walk through the ghosts

of our former selves

they feel us and shudder

as we thread through them

 

the future surrounds us, too

our bent grey selves

suspended in the steady light

diffused by dust and dusk

i'm very curious

about a new friend

she has a burning bright fire

she claimed was dimmed before

 

i can sense excitement

just through her words

and i feel she's getting started

 

if i wish i could bottle her energy

i hope its contagious

have you ever

met a friend

in a very unusual place

unfamiliar setting

at first unsure

then it hits you

I know that face

 

gesture and glance

in the words we choose

in arranging them

reveal our stance

we don't just meet on streets

or rooms

sometimes

in games of chance

 

so be watchful of your text

it has power

it has grace

 

putting down words

we let others perceive

our scent

our face

Woke up this morning

Happiness overwelmed me

Wondered what happened in my dream

 

I had a vision about my future

There is a soul in it

I feel like I can be very happy

if I have this soul in my life

 

I asked God "take it away from me,

If it is a trap; I don't want heart broken"

 

God answered me,

"you should love this soul,

even he is in your future,

and you love this soul

even he is in your future"

 

Ok then I will love this soul

Even he is in my future

Happiness I felt is so real

My life isn't complete if without him

I was blind

But now I see

What a wonderful truth revealed to me

 

Full of honey

Full of love

Full of hope

Full of wisdom

Full of joy of soul

 

Last row of bench

Is a good place to be

Who can see?

 

View is broader

Heart is relaxed

More understanding

Rejoice belongs to me
