Moments are Worth

Ron Overlook 2

There are delicate moments in time

They are fragile in their forming

And in their care

We carelessly disregard their existence

 

What happens when your moments are shattered

When they are taken and broken and battered

When you have none to even hold onto

When cracks are formed for them to escape through

 

We take our precious pieces for granted

Never giving them a second thought

We rely on them to be there

But one day an attempt to find might be for naught

 

Have I loved

Do I have friends

Do I have someone who loved me

Will they find me in the end

 

What if they don’t reach out

What if I continue to drift

I will never even know

What pieces I have missed

 

Moments are worth remembering if they are worth having

Take heed of what you do with them

For in a  split second of time

You just might lose . . .

Waves of Uninvited Sensation

Waves of icy fingers spread

Grasping for a hold

Slipping across the surface

Gone but returning twice cold

Waves flow undetected

Toward opalescent spheres

Through lightning flashes meander

And hysterical maniacal tears

Grasping with deflective talons

Not making the slightest defense

Staring into the nothingness

Losing all time and all sense

Waves of icy fingers spread

Spreading over the rippled mass

Holding onto the silent monsters

Shattering the quivering like warped glass

You are more than you are.

You may not know who you are

But you know who you’ve been

Never deny what you’ve become

Even if you consider your past a sin

 

What makes one search for love

What makes one search for peace

It’s the aching of the heart bone deep

That pain that seems to never cease

 

Shake the chains you have holding you down

Break them from your tender heart

Recognize them for what they are

They are your past, yes of you a part

 

Look at what you now see

No shackles holding you still

You’ve come this far so well

And you’ve done it by your own will

 

Some see you for your image

Longing for more than a touch

You’ve come not to know

You are worth beyond that so much

 

Taking one step each day

Reflecting on your deeds

Don’t dwell on your past

For you’ve other present needs

 

There is kindness in you that is noble

In every word and thought you share

Never doubt for a moment

That there is someone

In

This

World

To

Care

You got no Hook

You got no Hook

by Lost Mind Poet

loser.jpg

 

You’re stealing my patterns

You’re taking my rhymes

Boy you best be prayin’

Cause I be hearin’ them chimes

 

A common thief

A petty crook

You look to me

Cause you got no hook

 

Play on you silly boy

And you’ll find yourself hollow

Cause when I finish with you

You won’t have even one last follow

 

You didn’t think I would notice

Imitation is a compliment

I guess you about to learn

A difference to your astonishment

 

Take your burglary

Carry it to the max

I got originality

While your head needs ex lax

Embattled-Poetry for What you Need it to Mean

Embattled

by: Ronovan

You begin silent

Over the noise of the world’s moansWoman with Migraine

Cacophonous dins ring

 

Creeping into the dwelling

Like smoke through the crevices

You engulf all things

 

Confusion then starts

As the opposed forces clash

Battle is begun

 

The lightning afield

Covered melded defenses

Trembling in space

 

Furious fists

Pound the helpless whimpering

Hands force the pain back

 

The driving deepens

The anguishing to great heights

Flies into maniaWoman with Migraine

 

The darkening breaks

The shattered foes defenses

Hide insanity

 

You stand the victor

Over the assured defeat

Sight slips to the base

 

Your voice is not heard

As the sound falls to dead ears

Sleep comes to the lost

 

Until the next dawn

Breaks and the day is anew

Once again it comes

Electrocution of the Lost Mind

Electricity Tesla

Electrocution of the Lost Mind

 

Electricity split his skull, into a cobweb of blue and white.

His eyes glowed in their sockets, but all only visible to his inner sight

 

Everyone looked at him as if he were an invalid, mad, or  insane.

Their eyes held pity, but there actions spoke shouting into his brain.

 

His darkness crept around him, from inside to the out.

Then whenever his brain exploded, no one heard him shout.

 

Faintly prancing little feet dancing into his way.

Dainty little  jade green eyes saying more than anyone could say.

 

Reality would never stay in his land for long.

In truth if it did he would forever say it was wrong.

 

Peace and quiet were to far and fleeting gone.

If he ever thought to rest, his mind would slip out in a yawn.

Thoughts swirl without care

The days are long for me

The nights twice that

I attempt to never count

But without you it’s all that I have

 

No, please do not doubt

My love grows with each breath

I know I have your love

Not touching is what brings death

smoke_rose.jpg

My mind is filled with confusion

Thoughts swirling without care

I grab for them, desperate

Relief in my thoughts I am aware

 

Give just one moment, please

Just a touch of heated skin

In these you filled moments

For you I will always give in

 

There is no worry about me

This world cannot take me away

I will hold out until at least one moment

When we kiss that can be that day

Life’s One Need-A Poem

Hearts were made to feel,

Good, bad, found or even lost,

Love is life’s one need.

I Begin to Fail

Stars fail to break through the clouds

The blanketing darkness suffocates

Heat grabs at my flesh

As I race through night to escape

 

Sounds follow as if unafraid

What is there plan for this time

My legs begin to fail

As the stumbling brings forth reality

 

Why did I bother ever running

This body can no longer do such

With each increasing crackling sound

I am reminded of my failing too much

ron_dark_1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There it is finally capturing me

I feel the fingers on my spine

Time has run out

My body stiffens as the searing begins

 

The fingers burn deeply within

Carving and severing bone

Ribbons of pain flow outward

Sucking the air from my depressed lungs

 

I succumb as I do each time

Never able to outrun this pain giver beast

This body depleting reaper

That creeps through my every piece

A not so good poem, but one none the less.

Romance Sign

There are moments in life

When the quiet overtakes

When the still is calm

And your heartbeat breaks

 

The ache is not unwelcoming

It’s a dream is come true

It’s the new found feeling

That love is felt for you

 

Some may fight it

They don’t want the feeling of love

Feelings of deep rolling emotion

Is something they cannot approve of

 

I understand this

A feeling of a loss of control

You are on an express way

Afraid you cannot pay the toll

 

There is nothing to fear

This is something that is a must

Sometimes there may be some bumps

But find the right one you can trust

 

Easier said than done I know

Trusting is such a task

In times of so much trickery

One must always ask

 

I have found that it is worth it

The risk I must take

For aching for just the sake of it

Is something I wish to shake

 

Is it better to have lost and loved

Than to never have loved at all

A very good question

But I think it’s worth the risk of a fall

What is a Smile

Smile

 

 

One of the most amazing things is the smile

One can appear from across many a mile

But there are those of you out there right now

That just don’t seem to know how

 

I believe this is because you don’t know the why

So now let me explain to you before we say goodbye

 

 

sS is for the sweetness of tender kisses

Those kinds that aren’t captured by plan

They happen simply because they do

They are the weakness of every man

 

 

mM is for the moments of quiet

That passes through your chaotic mind

As she stares into your eyes

And you wonder how other men could be so blind

 

 

iI is for the inspiration

That she gives you every day

For without her smile and kisses

You would get lost along the way

 

 

lL is for the love she gives

That spreads and burns inside

You admit you are amazed

By these feelings you cannot hide

 

 

eE is for enlightenment

Of a world of extreme bliss and delight

A world of which you had not known

Until the smile in her eyes opened your sight

 

 

Now my friends you know what a smile is

What it is and how it comes to be

When next we have a chance to meet

On your face a smile I plan to see

No One Can Understand

No One Can Understand

Cavan Images-Photonica

It’s my life to break, and I know what I can take

Too much every day, but I can’t seem to run away

I should know by now, there must be another way somehow

But I’m just the same, and I’ll always be to blame

 

I’m hopeless, hopeless for love,

No one can understand

What makes me this man

 

It always seems, that love is just a dream

No one can see me through, cause of the things that I do

Players play, and the bad boys are the way

But I don’t know the games, I just get burned by the flames

Why don’t I change, because this world seems so strange

 

I’m hopeless, hopeless for love

No one can understand

What make me this man

 

I walk the line, coming back time after time

No matter what the pain, no matter it drives me insane

They say loves not what I think, just pour up a drink

But I know what I know, and I just can’t seem to let go

 

I’m hopeless, hopeless for love

What makes me this man

I’m hopeless, love is in my sight

What makes me this man

I hold love with all my might

I’m hopeless

Hopeless for love

Yeah, I’m hopeless for love

 (If you are thinking these seem like song lyrics, well if you know the song Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi get the tune in your head and read it again.)

Pain from the Ignorant

Pain from the Ignorant

Cover _Red

 

I don’t care about government

I don’t care about race

All we’ve done since we’ve been here

Is corrupt the whole freakin’ place

 

I say let’s erase all the borders

Forget the religious rift

But it’ll never work–know why

Because God created peace and man destroyed it

 

I don’t know the story

Our facts are far from complete

But why can’t we all agree

To not kill each other and our babies in the street

 

Oh, don’t blame your neighbor

So what if they look like the bad guys

Their grandparents built the store

Where you eat your yummy to die for fries

 

But you say they’re the same people

Okay, so what do you mean

Have you noticed my bigoted brother

Every culture has some whacked out extreme

 

Talk to one another

You’ll be somewhat surprised

That not to deep down

We’re all the same . . . just in disguise

Waking up and Recognizing

Waking up and Recognizing

by: Lost Mind

Sunglasses  Dark

What things are on this Lost Mind of mine

People focusing on a cinema and a dime

This world has gone total whack crazy

While lives die greater in numbers than F-bombs in a picture by Scorsese

 

We’re petty and selfish in ways we don’ t know

Don’t blame yourself for our ignorance though

Don’t get and angry with me for saying it

It’s just a thing that we all need to change and recommit

 

Did you buy a soft drink for 1.69

Did you stop on the way home for a fast food dine

While there is food in your house and a drink

I do it to, all that money and the good with it I don’t think

 

But it’s not all about the paper and the jangling discs

It’s about the deep and the core within our midst

No matter what you give in the way of the wealth

If you don’t change your heart death won’t come from lack of health

 

Dig a little deeper way down go where you hide

Go past the hole forming in the pocket on the right side

Take a u-turn and head back upright

Then squeeze that blind heart real real tight

 

When you finally feel the pain and the ache

And the agony is way way more than you can take

That feeling is the day to day fate

For those people to the world just don’t rate

 

We enjoy or luxurious compared lives

While girls are being taken by gun and knives

We enjoy our milk shakes and our Big Macs

While kids hide in mountains waiting for another rocket attack

 

Hey–you–yeah, the one looking at porn

There are babies that will die as soon as they’re born

While you HD and stream and grip your sex addiction online

Those babies grip a finger for their only time

 

Have I been preaching during this diatribe

I don’t know, do you feel so sick like you are poisoned by cyanide

I’m just here to share what thoughts seem to flow

Don’t like it, then just tell me to blow

 

After I wrote this another blogger friend of mind commented that apparently we were in the same mind set today. Take a look at Turn it Off if You Want to by joatmon 14.

What is Happy

What is Happy
I am so glad you ask
For I have been assigned
With a poetic task

 

H is for the hours
Simplyletter_h.jpg knowing you exist
Even without words
My love forever persist

 

 

A is for acceptance
letter_a.jpgOf what we are to another
Questioning the fact
We’ll find we’ve lost each other

 

 

 

P is for passion
letter_p.jpgWithout it you have no drive
There is no desire
Nothing to make you thrive

 

 

 

P is for patience
letter_p.jpgSomething we all can learn
Rushing to and fro
Slow down and enjoy the love glow burn

 

 

 

Y is for you
letter_y.jpgFor without you there is no word
There are no other four letters
And my life would be absurd

Another Day Down

Another Day Down

bleeding_hearts_flowers.jpg

Another day down

Another drop of the heart fails

No one really understands it

I speak but they then begin with their own tales

 

 

I am in pain toda . . .

Oh, I understand I feel that way too

My Migrai . . .

Oh take this and you’ll feel better in just a few

 

 

Another day down

Another drop of heart fails

People all around me

Think that they were the blazer of my trails

 

 

I fell and hit my hea . . .

Oh, I’ve been there and done that

Sounds drive me insa . . .

You’ll be fine and okay it’s a fact

 

 

Another day down

Another drop of heart fails

You forget what I am now

Your words are like nails

 

 

I love yo . .

Oh, I know, nothings changed, we’re fine don’t be insane

But you don . . .

No, you just don’t understand my words because of your brain

 

 

Another day down

Another drop of heart fails

Another day of missed out

Another day of misunderstanding Hells

My Soul Bleeds

My Soul Bleeds

 

These eyes see tragediesCover _Red
Falling lives in every direction
Hopes and dreams denied
Their pains added to my collection

Why do I feel so much
My chest expands to fill space
Anguish rips to shreds
Tears streak this pale face

I care too much
Wanting to be all things to all
Wishing for nothing
I teeter atop the heap knowing I will fall

The fall is inevitable
The mistakes come and I cannot save
My heart is worn through
My soul bleeds from the last joys rays

I Destroy

I Destroy

shattered_heart.jpg

I destroy that which I love

My words wander into oblivion

They drift sedate and comfortable

Always driving away everyone

 

I know not what they do

They slip through the cracks of my mind

I despise the day

A fall flipped a switch for no control I can find

 

My judgment is hindered

My life is incomplete

My ways are forced hesitant

I always fall in defeat

 

The beginning is a fortune

Times bring happiness as if a boy

But always and inevitable

The best I have . . . I destroy
