MY FRIEND

this poem is for you
my dear old friend
to live on life's terms
I must learn once again

now in my new life
I have met so many
yet to touch my heart
there hasn't been any

you tell in your story
of a time and a place
you had what I wanted
so I remembered your face

you speak of a man
that I had once known
then you speak of another
in which you have grown

so our paths have crossed
not once but now twice
so the story you share
I must take as advice

WHY OPPOSITES ATRRACT

When life's spirits lift you up;
do not ever forget-
What goes up always comes back down.

The stars will always appear
to guide us through the night.
Just as the sun will shine
Somedays so blindingly bright.

For all the tragic wrongs
There is also a beautiful right.
Not everything can be set
In only black or in white.

Know that life is truly about
Opposites attracting.
If we had no ins or outs
Ups and downs or days and nights

If every living creature were equal
Would we ever fit in another's life?

FREE

CRY NOW,CRY LATER
IT'S JUST GOT TO BE
I STAND BEWILDERED
OF WHAT I NOW SEE.

BEGINNING TO END
ALL WILL AGREE
IT'S TIME YO LET GO
AND SET MYSELF FREE.

Killing Yourself Softly

fighting and struggling
against all the odds
in contol trying not
to be God's God.

so I ask for guidance
to help you deal with
the pain and sorrow
that you refuse to feel.

I sit and I watch
the choices you make
my heart's torn in two
with what is at stake.

let me tell you,my love
the consequences are costly
as I can no longer watch
you killing yourself softly.
