She stood in the doorway
tears in her eyes
She said she couldn't find the words to say
She just turned around and as she walked away said sometimes love just dies

Where does love go when the end comes near
Why do we let it all slip away
Why can't we hold on to those we held dear
When does the time come when there's nothing left to say

Thanks K-Wise ....


The smoke wafts up to the ceiling
I watch as it crosses the few rays of light
Thinking of the loss of feeling
and wondering where the love is tonight

She came into my life and gave me a smile
The days were like years
But like life the love just died in a short while
And the happiness that once filled our eyes made way for shallow tears

Now the bed we share is ice cold
And the places we went seem dead
Those days are gone so is the one I used to hold
And all I have left are the memories that fill my head

"made way for shallow tears" - I'm not quite sure how to interpret this one - are the tears shallow because you're no longer happy, or maybe you weren't as happy as you thought (only shallowly happy). or the happiness is over and its just time for tears. I really like this one Pan.!

CENSORSHIP

Went to Wal*Mart to buy my favourite song
Got the cd of the men whose words I worship
Put it in the player and sat down to get my groove on
Next thing I know the lyrics were all wrong
Seems the store chose to do a little CENSORSHIP

Went to the Library to read my favourite magazine
You know the one Alfred E Newman is on the cover of
Harmless fun is what it's all about
But the rack was empty not even the name to be seen
I shook my head and wondered where I could find that satire I had come
to love
It never harmed me when I was just a teen

Turned on the telly to watch my favourite movie
A harmless little tale of a man engulfed in troubles deep
I'm sure you'd know the actor but we cannot mention names
I watched in amazemnt... couldn't believe what I did see
It seems the station edited the plot, and took away the theme

CENSORSHIP is where it's at
If we can't control your mind
We'll control what you can read
We'll control what you can find
We'll control what you can see

Somewhere they preach of this great society in which we live
But it makes me wonder when CENSORSHIP does thrive
And we never say a word
We just turn our heads and say "ok, this much we'll give"
But we are victims of whatever they contrive

The artist's vision of what is or what he sees to be
Is something we must never change no matter what is said
For the crime lies not in what the artists vision is
The crime lies in what they refuse to let us see
And the fact of telling us what we can or cannot feed our head

"We just turn our heads and say "ok, this much we'll give"
But we are victims of whatever they contrive"

I think here lies the crux of the debate of personal freedom.... everyone has a different interpretation of where the line lies


Very nice done.

In the darkness of the night and you lie in bed alone, do you call my name
do you remember the the bedroom game
the silence of the beating heart
as you waited for the start
of the pain and pleasure that filled the night

I wonder as you lay alone in bed, if you call my name
The way you learnt in sex there is no shame
As the wax ran down your naked breasts
and the ways I found your pleasure threshold to test
Your womanhood burning with desire my tongue adding to your fire

As you hold your pillow between your legs and lie alone in bed, do you still call my name
Have you ever found pleasure the same
The orgasms as sweet
The passing out from tiredness and deep fulfilling sleep
Do you remember, do you still call my name

Thanks for the compliments Amo, got busy and just let this die.

Yes, the shallow tears were because the couple realized that ther love was truly never there.

And yes, because of differing values and interpretations art in some form will always be censored.

Isn't it strange after all these years
2 old friends sitting having beers
Talking of old times and changing the memories as we go
Remembering them like they were just yesterday though

The laughter we shared
The tears for each other we had shed
And the love for each other that burned inside
That nothing we did could hide

Sitting here drinking and smiling at each other
Just like the days long ago when we were together
So in love that days were filled with smiles
When we were vulnerable to each other's wiles

The look in your eyes is the same I remember from all those years ago
The beauty in your face and spirit still brightly aglow
Makes me wonder why we went seperate ways
What caused us to be apart for so many days

You ask me how's the wife
I say we divorced there was too much strife
I ask how are your kids and what's his name
You say the kids are in high school and he's the same

You look deep into my eyes and touch my hand
And after all these years I still understand
It comes back clear as day
why we had to go seperate ways

We had a love so deep and pure
but it scared us and made us unsure
We did all we could to hurt each other
for we were so damned scared to be together

Years pass by and the bad times forgotten
And for just right now we remember the love we shared way back then
Knowing it'll never happen again
Knowing that we can go back to way beck when

Well you say he's waiting at home
And we'll talk later on the phone
But as you walk away
I remember you saying the same words our last day.............

Standing in the rain
Playing in a puddle
Driving in the fast lane
But would rather take the shuttle

Never knowing
where you're going
But hoping life is there
Do you really even care

Powder coke turns to crack
Never looking forward always looking back
Heroin's needle in the arm
Tell me babe do you still love the drug's charm

Drank a drink ah wonderous alcohol
How far did you fall
Now you drink to stop the shakes
Can you see all alcohol takes

Bright and shiny gun in hand
Addiction did this not you..... don't they understand
put the chamber to your head
One more shot and then you're dead

Here comes the darkness
An old friend I know so well
The heaviness of the heart, the sadness
The feeling of being alone in a living hell

The light is slowly dimming till just a sliver gleems
The madness in my mind not letting anyone close
Don't let anyone close, they may hear your screams
Shattered dreams and broken hearts is this truly the road I chose

Living on a razor thin line
Again scared to let anyone in yet wanting too
They might try to get into my heart and mind
So I've got to keep interactions few

Thinking of things I haven't for years
Nowhere to turn
Without eyes filling with tears
No bridges thay all must burn

Fukc this shit
I'm stronger than this
Maybe the past I needed it
But now the darkness to me isn't worth a piss

Hold onto the light
Embrace those who want in
Won't give in without a fight
Wasted to much life already that's my only unforgiveable sin

Time to take control back
Time to beat this once and for all
Time to be happy with what I have not with what I lack
Time to be a man, win this battle and not be afraid to stand tall

For Lucy

You say love is something your are sure of
Something that scares you
Yet, when I look deep into your eyes, Love is all you have
It isn't something new

You say you're scared, yet your heart you're freely sharing
And point to days like true love couldn't exist in such a short time
Yet, I have never seen someone who is more caring
In finding love no matter how soon there is no crime

Your eyes show such understanding, love and openness of mind
The envelope me in a warmth I've never known
They are what anyone who dreams of love dreams to find
I know now finding you I"ll never be alone

Lucy, you are the woman my dreams are made of
And in you there is such light
You have filled my heart full of love
And I love you with all my might

So I write this to you
A sappy love rhyme
To tell you what I hope you already knew
I will love you till the end of time



Phil

Woke up from the weirdest dream
One where no one could hear the scream

Seems the Wizard left Oz on the Highway
To sell his story as a Broadway play

The Tin man was gay
And the Lion was busy chasing the dragon all day

Dorothy was getting boned by the Strawman, who was forced to pay
And the munchkins were selling the smack to make it all seem okay

Glinda was was caught stealing the ruby slippers yesterday
And the Wicked Witch was killed in a deal gone wrong, so the natives say

What has happened to the innocence of yesterday

Well the factory is closing down
They say we workers cost to much
There's shops closing and nothing left downtown

Grew up here around these parts
Got laid down in Cutler's woods the first time
Now the factory is tearin out our hearts

Folks say find a better job but where does one go
When the factory closes and there's no one pays
Wasn't just the pay, but the pride in makin', but try tellin' that to someone that pride they'll never know

They say our jobs are for menial workers with no pride
Don't feel menial and I paid all my bills
I made do and from bill collectors I never had to hide

All that's changin' now nothing I can do
'cept work 3 jobs try and make the mortgage
And pray this pain doesn't next happen to you

Blue sky white clouds passing me by
Looking through a window and giving a sigh
Remembering days long ago
How the years make one grow

Yesterday was just a dream
Running on empty and out of steam
Doing crazy shit not worried about tomorrow
Get buck naked get wild what did we know

Darkness was around
Just hadn't been found
Hard to see and recognize it
When you're in it

So many yesterdays passed by
Kind of like clouds in the sky
But skies are bluer and the sun seems more bright
And the darkness once prevalent lost in the night

Here we are some say this the last battle
Torn and twisted our lives in a tatter
Moved in this war as though we were cattle
While those directing us sit back home getting fatter

It's lonely here at the front
Pain and suffering all around
Missing home, seeing it again is all I want
But so hard to remember what it looks like with all the hateful sound

God forgive us as being here has lost all reason
God forgive us for detroying your land
As we follow our orders without question
And shoot at another man as scared as I am

Who's right in this war that we wage
Who's side is right in the God's eyes
Are we here just because of unbridled rage
Are we fighting for truth or our leaders lies

God give us strength on this field today
Please we beg help us know who is truly right
Give us a reason in this battle to stay
Let your love truly help to end this fight

It's so lonely on this battlefield
Noone shows love just fear in thier heart
God please help us let your love for us be our shield
God shed a light tell us that with us you did not depart

Well the gunfire draws near
And we are all ready as we can be
God please on us do not turn a deaf ear
Give us all a sign that peace is what you truly want to see
===========================================================
Different poem
===========================================================
Remember when we were innocent
The love our hearts knew
No sins to repent
And all we felt was so real and so new

Can you remember those days when we saw our favourite KINK
And the music filled our soul and touched our heart
Ray's lyrics so deep and made ya think
And Dave never missing a lick played so energetic from the very start

Will your heart open up long enough to look back
When life was so pure and free
And for love none of us ever felt a lack
And the days seemed made for you and me

But then it all seemed to fall apart just as you grasped that last ring
Greed took over and the heart lost its way
And all you could hear was the money sing
God why couldn't the innocence stay

Now on a building ledge you stand waiting to jump
Your soul so infested with wanting new toys
And you know your wife is out on another drunk
Spending her days with a bottle and one of her newest boys

That boss you loved so dearly took all the money
Left you out in the cold
He's down on an Island with some sexy honey
And you realize your spirit you sold

I beg of your dear friend
On all that we once shared
That this is the beginning not the end
For you my friend I have always cared

Find your way to the past
Pick up those pieces of your heart
And in those shatters you'll see what matters is my love for you shall always last
And dear friend remember those innocent days and perhaps you can make a new start

Don't tell me your love is dead
For even in nature the cycle of life in full of rebirth
Don't tell me there's nothing to live for cause everything's already said
Cause life would never be the same without you on my Earth

So give me your hand
Whenever you fall down into the dirt
Together we'll take that stand
And when the end does come you can say you fought and lived through all of life's little hurt

Where have the dreamers gone
What of the jobs left undone
Where is the love
Taught by men sent from above

Why did we forget GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
We traded in that for one last dance
What happened to LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED
We turned it into corporate greed

Where are the idealistic men
Who taught love and sharing
Jesus, Gandhi, Lennon we made martyrs of them
And now we forget the peace and caring

Were flower power and peace marketing ploys
So we could buy more destructive toys
Have we lost the ways
And decided to just go nuts these last days

Where is the hope
Of a brotherhood of man
Where we all help each other cope
Will we ever see these ideas again

A man wrote love thy neighbor
As a man said imagine
Yet it seems for man it will forever be unfinished labor
And those words seem to mean nothing to the politician or marketing man

So I shall plod along
Looking to these men for knowledge and hope
And I shall walk the best I can singing a KINKS song
And finding peace in my thoughts so with the greed I can cope

===========================================================

There's a hole in the atmosphere
And the glaciers are melting down
There's people running everywhere
And chaos in the town

There's a man living next to me
He's nowhere to be found
His wife has taken to gardening
And a strange smell coming from the ground

There's the beauty that I work with
She's very sweet it seems
But she's telling me every night she drinks a fifth
And then goes to the park naked and screams

Has the world totally gone crazy
Have we all lost our mind
Or could it be we need something cause we've become lazy
And now we are all one of a kind

There's the trusted principal
Who has never done wrong
Known his wife ever since she was a litle gal
But they found him at a gay bar wearing a sarong

The press tells us all we need
They hound and stalk for their story
And not for knowledge but for greed
But for a mistake i have yet to hear sorry

Now we all have chosen to live within our head
For the craziness is rotting society's very core
Me I shiver covered in my bed
Wondering if I ever locked my door

I meant this in some fun thought I'd give us some humor....... well there is humor in truth sometimes

==========================================================

TY for you comments and critiques so that I may write better.

Poems inspired by LENNON:

Does it ever really matter in the end
What was to be the intent

The governments on people prey
And for the interest of the giant corporations lay

What's left to believe in any more
The press feasts on heroes like never before

The people read about it every day
Why did you hear what the starlet and about her drunken spree had to say

We say we live life so idealistically
Yet into minivans and SUV's we jump into so hypocritically

What happened to those dreams in the 60's of a better world for you and me
Those days are gone blind eyes we turn so as not to see

People died for their beliefs so that a better world there'd be
But we sold our souls to buy toys from companies polluting the sea

There is no such thing as from society getting away
They have taken away our wills and censored what we can say

Those with ideas and visions of a better place
Are ridiculed, thought nuts and treated as a disgrace

We listen as the politicians speak wanting to find belief
But they destroy the common man's faith and feed the wealthy relief

There are no sanctuaries anymore
For government hides behind everyone's door

We must stand up, not back down and say enough in a voice for all to hear
the pain
For if we remain silent and let our cries die down....... those who fought, those who dreamt shall all have died in vain

I was walking through the park one sunny day
When a man came up to me and had something to say
Why did this crazy man choose me and on such a beautiful day
But as is my nature I listened and this is what he had to say

The world is coming to an end
The sky is falling chicken little no time for it to mend
Get your affairs in order and money never lend
Be ready your house and family to defend

Then for some inexplicable reason he stole my wallet and my shoes
I'm sure you read about it in the news
He was the man who died singing the blues
And as for his identity he never left any clues

I was driving my car on a sunny day
Thinking I was safer, when a man let himself in and never asked if he may
Well, as is my nature I listened to what he had to say
And I still don't understand what he said to this day

He said we had gone too far
That the Ozone was depleted and the Earth would char
He said something about how man on nature had left an unhealing scar
Then he kicked me out and took off in my car

I'm sure you read about it
For days I had a fit
What would cause a man to lose all his wit
Had he taken too much shit

I left home on a gloomy day
In my tank feeling safe for this now was truly a safe way
But the weirdest thing seemed to happen on that day
It was I who had something I needed to say

So I headed out to find someone
When suddenly I was where I had begun
And to this day I wonder what I had done
To deserve a fate of being the the man who was mentally gone


I got Levi's and a Coke
I have a stereo and tv run by remote

I have 70 channels of the same mind numbing crap to see
And I have internet saying it's free

But my boss pays me less than my father made
And my wages are spent before I get paid

I have a house in the neighborhood I grew up
And an equity loan that has gotten me tied up

I want to do better for my kids than my dad
Yet I look around and the future looks so sad

They're destroying Mother Nature and the air
And the rich play games with me as they sit in a leather chair

The oceans are turning into one big dead sea
And government turns it's back on people like me

I got an HMO yet my health still is declining
And I wonder who's pocket my wages are lining

I got the media saying it's this person's fault
As they are the one's who forever have money in the vault

So I'll sit here with my smile and take my Prozac
It'll still be my will under attack

I look in the mirror not proud of what I see
For in the end I taught the children to become a zombie like me

Life is a series of going places
Saying hello and goodbye to so many faces
Trying hard to just make it through day to day
Hoping yet not the piper to pay

Two came preaching of peace
Of their lives they gave mankind a piece
But mankind wasn't ready to listen
Violence and hated came instead of kissin

It is of CHRIST and LENNON I talk
With whom someday I wish to walk
CHRIST only said "believe in him and love
And with God you'll get a chance above"
Lennon sang "all you need is love and give peace a chance"
And together all mankind can dance

But close minded societies did persecute
While it was society we should prosecute
A crown made of thorn
A bullet making a generation mourn
That's all they received
While those who persecuted society they deceived

We may never see their kind again
Which is sad but not the end
For we can still believe in what they said
And our love will never lay dead

Where have the dreamers gone
What of the jobs left undone
Where is the love
Taught by men sent from above

Why did we forget GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
We traded in that for one last dance
What happened to LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED
We turned it into corporate greed

Where are the idealistic men
Who taught love and sharing
Jesus, Gandhi, Lennon we made martyrs of them
And now we forget the peace and caring

Were flower power and peace marketing ploys
So we could buy more destructive toys
Have we lost the ways
And decided to just go nuts these last days

Where is the hope
Of a brotherhood of man
Where we all help each other cope
Will we ever see these ideas again

A man wrote love thy neighbor

Yet it seems for man it will forever be unfinished labor
And those words seem to mean nothing to the politician or marketing man
