AM I – I AM… reverse poetry

Read forwards, then backwards…

 Hated, not loved, am I
 Sad, not happy, am I
 Broken, not whole, am I
 Lost, not found, am I
 Ugly, not pretty, am I

Read forwards, then backwards…

HEARTS… a poem

Heart, Wedding, Marriage, Hands — Image credit

Gentle should the hands be

That capture and hold a heart

Loving, slow caressing

Will bring out the finest parts

And if that heart is lucky

In return it will do the same

Two hearts that beat together

Create a love that will remain

MOONLIGHT… a short song

 Why can’t the stars all come down from the night?
 Clearing the cobwebs and making it bright.
 And, where is the hero I promised to be?
 Lost in whirlwind I tread cautiously.
  
 Maybe tomorrow I’ll be washed by the rain
 Removing this heartache
 Removing this pain
 And I never dreamed that I’d be here alone…
 Yeah, I’ll keep on living…
 And you’ll still be gone.
  
 Moonlight it still shines there - down on the sands.
 The memory is etched of us still holding hands.
 And mountain tops glisten too peaked with their snow.
 A lifetime is fading from years long ago.
  
 Maybe tomorrow I’ll be washed by the rain
 Removing this heartache
 Removing this pain
 And I never dreamed that I’d be here alone…
 Yeah, I’ll keep on living…
 And you’ll still be gone. 

(Repeat)

REWARDS…

Rejoice the small wins.
As with life,
Time will bring
Larger rewards...

CONSEQUENCES

Broken to a point of desperation
Downtrodden, heavy-hearted, lost
Burdens greater than ever before
Torment and anxiety the cost
Guilt has a way of teaching us
Which road to take, it’s true
Travel down the path where the heart leads
Or suffer the consequences within you
