Not Mine

I may not fully understand why!

I may not fully understand how!

But when I see you smile,

When he holds you tight.

I then understand; now!

Now and Forever

Posted: 2nd September 2001 by Jab in Poetry

Never in my life have I ever thought I would ever feel this way

about a single person.

These feelings I have come down within.

I have to fight with these feelings at times, for these feelings I have I cannot explain.

On one side –

I have deep emotional feelings of love, caring and trust

Feelings of joy, happiness and of temptation.

I have feelings I have never had before.

Nobody has make me feel the way you make me feel

My feelings are inexpressible; I cannot begin to touch the depth

If you could imagine heaven … so peaceful, so quiet with fields of

flowers … each one expressing the happiness you bring to my life

A river extended to the eyes content, is my love for you that flows all so patiently

and calmly

Although these expressions are like a single grain of sand

Imagine what a handful of that sand can say about my love … about my feelings

About the amount of happiness you bring to my life.

 

The other side is dark –

At first you expressed your love for me then took it away

How are you to feel when something so special is taken from you?

It is like a dark tunnel that extends to far to see

The sides are hands reaching out trying to grab you

To stop you … to toss you back and forth

Their hands are scolding hot as sharp as razors

As you run down this tunnel trying to keep away from the sides

All you can think about is how your life could have been

If only a chance was given … if only that love was true

If only you could have done something better

You keep running but there is no end

Eventually you will get tired

And then you will die.

 

Although both sided keep fighting with each other … how do I choose?

There is no question, which I would choose

It feels I have been pushed in the opposite direction

I hope someday we can realize what went wrong … what could have changed?

For it may be too late, when you are ready and I am not.

I don’t want it to come to that

However I feel that is what it is coming to … do I say farewell?

You will always have a special place in my heart

Now … and forever!

 

– Now and Forever

Now I can Rest

Posted: 1st September 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I stay up late

And watch you come in,

To make sure you got home safe.

All night I sit and think,

All alone.

Wondering … waiting.

I think of you while you

Are gone.

Praying you come back safe.

For I am lost …

without you.

This house is empty …

Without you.

Then I hear footsteps.

Could that be you?

You are home safe.

Now I can rest.

Live goes on

My life goes on, or so I am told

But how can it, without you to hold.

Springtime

Posted: 15th March 2000 by Jab in Poetry

Dew resting upon the tips of the grass;

buds spouting on the branches of trees.

Children playing and flowers blooming;

and the sounds of birds whistling.

Cartwheels in the grass,

And walks in the park;

The weather is beautiful for all.

The gentle showers:

To bring the flowers;

With such beauty and caress.

Open the doors let the air in;

with smells of such delight.

For springtime is the best time,

for moonlight walks at night.

The time of joy is coming,

Around the corner, just inches away.

Long from the time of bitter cold,

Springtime is on its way.

Beauty and grace, a warm embrace

Loves written all over your face

Up for the chase

But just in case

I don’t want to seem out of place.

Wishing Well

Posted: 15th February 2000 by Jab in Poetry

Wishing well ‘o Wishing well,

Where do I stand?

Wishing no more,

Can you lend a hand?

 

Wishing well I ask,

What lies for me ahead?

For these emotions are running,

Wild in my head.

 

Wishing well I say

Bring me a brighter day.

Not asking for much,

Just a push along the way.

 

Wishing well can you hear me?

I ask for your voice.

Help me decide,

And make a choice.

 

Wishing well I try,

To keep everything inside.

Although that does not help,

These feelings I hide.

 

Wishing well ‘o Wishing well,

I ask one more time.

Do I keep asking question?

Can you clear my mind?

 

Wishing well I ask

Strongly for your guidance.

The future and destiny,

Is something I cannot silence.

 

Wishing well you say,

Although not quite clear.

The answers to my questions,

Are all just right here.

 

Wishing well ‘o Wishing well

Will you answer my call

For you wishing well,

Is whom I tell all.

Take me

Posted: 12th February 2000 by Jab in Poetry

Sometimes I just want to die …

Take me Lord, for I am yours.

A lost soul beat many times over

by love.

 

Take me Lord, for all the wrong reasons.

I have tried so hard to accomplish,

yet seem to fail every time.

 

Take me Lord, and set me free,

of this anguish inside my soul,

this heartache; torment.

 

Take me Lord, for I have done no wrong.

Only to shower my love, my emotions,

Opened my heart and soul.

 

Take me Lord, I ask you why?

Why must I be?

Alone; so cold.

 

Take me Lord, I ask you?

Show me a life without pain or misery.

Where happiness does exist.

 

– Take me
