Life

Posted: 1st May 2005 by Jab in Poetry

Waiting patiently,

abruptly, calmly,

anxiously…

For a sound so pleasant,

so arousing to hear.

When you hear, this sound

so sweet,

with your crying eyes

you look up…

Looking scared and unaware;

innocent…

At the same time

charming and sweet;

beautiful.

As you take – touch

for the first time,

holding and smelling;

crying and thanking.

For you have just been blessed

with this beautiful baby.

Love is a beautiful thing

Posted: 15th August 2003 by Jab in Poetry

Love is a beautiful thing

When you are in love nothing else matters

you can cross a river without getting tired

hick a mountain high above.

You are not bound by any circumstances

you are lifted with joy and anxiety

the world can crumble down

but as long as you are with the one you love

It would not matter.

Without love life is cold.

You wish sometimes you don’t exist.

You are lonely

this can be overcome by remembering loves ones.

Just knowing them is enough to brighten your day,

even though they may not share the same kind of love.

For there are many kinds of love

you can the love of a family

for they are your blood.

The ones you trust, grew up with

Then you can love another, as a friend of no relation to you.

Someone you can depend on

who will be there for you, through thick and thin.

You can also be in love

this feeling is an experience of a lifetime

you will know when you are in love

that passion has your undivided attention

your physical and emotional entities.

They are one with you.

Forever you will spend with that person.

A lifetime of feelings of trust … friendship, loyalty

of strength and respect.

For love is not something to take as a joke

for love can hurt.

When things do not go well, when you are misleading

when you are not trust worthy, when you lie.

This is when love can be ugly.

Heartbroken

for it takes longer for your heart to heal from heartache

then it takes to fall in love.

–So watch who you fall in love with

and don’t start something you cannot finish

because that is the hardest part.

Trying to tell someone you want to, but you just cannot

it is a confusing state

in which one does not know how to handle the situation.

Make sure you know what you are doing

before you do it.

Hurting someone is one thing

to be hurt is something that can stay with you

forever

Love is not a game

it is a natural instinct that one shares

to show compassion between people

Are you ready to love?

Love is

Love is not a fairy tale

Love is not a dream

Love is not an inspiration

Although so it seems!

My Last Chance

Posted: 15th November 2002 by Jab in Poetry

I have cut boundaries

I have taken chances

This is my last chance

I don’t want to chase anymore

I don’t want to fail anymore

I don’t want to cry anymore

I want to breathe

To feel free

To have those butterflies once again

To be touched and loved only

By your hands and heart

I want us to be one

Only you can bring me that happiness once again

You did it once, and

Who knows maybe that’s all we were suppose to have

But my feelings are too strong to say so

I do know, however

I love you with all my heart and soul.

I Promise

Posted: 15th June 2002 by Jab in Poetry

I promise to love you

And treat you right

I promise to care for you

And hold you tight

 

I promise to be there

Through thick and thin

I promise to be there

Till the very end

 

I promise you this

A promise to keep

I promise my love

To take this leap

 

I promise to you

To change my ways

I promise in return

To brighten all your days

 

I promise my life

To you I give

I promise my heart

As long as I live

 

I promise to listen

And to understand

I promise to give you

All that I can

 

I promise to be truthful

And tell you no lie

I promise to comfort you

In times that you cry

 

I promise my dear

This you should know

I promise to try

And make it so

 

I promise you this

All that I say

Is a promise I will keep

Every single day

My Only Dream

Posted: 15th April 2002 by Jab in Poetry

I want to hold you … all night.

To let you know everything… will be alright.

To hold you close .. in my arm

To bring you happiness .. without harm

Seeing you smile .. a beautiful sight

Wishful dreams .. throughout the night

In the night .. while I hold you near

Whispering words .. you will long to hear

Ill say them sweet .. with warm content

Until you fall asleep .. my Angel sent

Set you Free

Posted: 15th April 2002 by Jab in Poetry

Sometimes I lay in bed awake

Not knowing what I should take

Or the consequences of my mistake

Forever I have lost the love of my life

A gorgeous bride… who was my wife

Although at times it seems to pass

I find myself looking through my window glass

Given reality, is no easy task

Without you I have become

A lone soul entity; only one

The dreams we had, taken away

Without a breath, were here to stay

I wish my conscience would come into play

I close my eyes I see your smile

It just all makes my time worth while

Angelic you are, looking down

Watching closely, without a frown

Sometimes I wonder, are you around?

I need you more than you can imagine

How I wish that day never happened

Forever sound in my heart you will be

A life of happiness you have given me

Now it is time to set you free

 

– Set you free

Nature of Life

Posted: 15th February 2002 by Jab in Poetry

As the meadow flow down to the stream,

The peaceful whistles of the bird calm and

sooths ones mind.

The crystals like sound of the water crashing

Against the rocks in a silence only the underworld

Can hear.

The smell of natures best floral reefs,

of ferns and of pines.

At night, listening to the peacefulness of the sounds

Of nature can correspond with the nature of life,

of a person.

The feelings can be expressed in similarity with

the sounds and expressions of nature.

Love a peaceful journey through the silence,

Of the meadow with its twist and turns

its ups and downs.

Joy and peace come to those who look for the right

Path for there is only one path in life

We cannot look back.

We must exceed in focusing on our journey,

And set fourth a new direction.
