When I was coming upmomma and daddy both said"Finish your plate, son. Eat the rest!"More often than not there'd be somethingI didn't like, or didn't like enoughand momma or daddy one would say
Ferme tes yeux.
imagine le pire.
si ce n'est pas elle
avec quelqu'un d'autre,
Laisse-la partir.
It was the writer
Bertold Brecht
who spoke of the " darktimes"
so eloquently
yet that darkness referred
to society,
politics...
and today, one can certainly identitify-
but on this day,
How beautiful you are
So deep in your despair
Lying, sleeping on the couch
The curls in your dark hair
How soft your face appears
When you're lost within your dreams
Mom
You gave me life, nourished my body to grow strong
Over the years, by your side is where I belong
Watching what you do and your moves
When i was bad you told me you disapproved
If I were to die today,
Would you, darling, be okay?
The love I feel
For you is real
And does not need a breath to stay.
If the heavens were to shake,
The earth beneath my feet to quake,
Rest in peace:
To the person no one recognizes,
Dying a death, a lonely death.
Rest in peace:
To the skinny girl in Africa;
The starving didn't get to her as fast as the AIDS.
Rest in peace:
Dear School,
I don’t remember what it’s like to be refreshed.
To wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
And a can-do attitude.
Because I love you
I became a better me
How can I love you properly
If I don't take care of myself
Because I love you
I prayed for you
So your spirit may be strong
nothing can bring me peace
here in the dark
I am dying
but the light lives
that much is evident
seen through shuttered windows
Truthful it wasThe dedication I sawWith endless days and endless nightsConsciousness overriding any question of restPassion peered through a coffin of dead eyesUnrested one
Being in my fuzzy nest
makes me feel my very best.
With my cat by my head
and three blankets on top,
I feel at so at ease,
like I've been heaven blessed.
Safe from the world,
Lay in bed
Sleeping time is finally here
Just ready to pass out
Forget the world
Ready to dream
Fill my cup To you I prayFill me upWith you I’ll stay
I seek your lightYour uncontainable beautyBlinding star in the nightI seek your love for me
I try so hard but I just can't sleep
My soul won't rest so instead I just weep
I feel like I'm being crushed, like gravity is too strong
The only thing I dont feel is that I belong
Today as I went about my Saturday ritual of housekeeping,
I found my lost love for the laundry and the orange peel therein
And again at midday for the sanitized scent of the dishwasher
Risen up gracefully
A halo on her head
Aunt Sharen earns her golden wings
Slowly fading into an eternal slumber in her bed
Proud, Brave, Determined, I go on
That's what she would've wanted
I’m tired. Worn down.
Reality is heavy.
Day in, day out, responsibility takes its toll.
Before I’m even awake, I dread the day to come.
If only I could escape!
Find solace and respite.
I am weary.
I am tired and I need to rest.
Lay me down by the river stream and do not weep.
I am only going home.
I am going to rest.
I am going to have peace.
Now child don't you weep for me.
I am a dreamer
I look into the sky
I gaze at the stars and I think of you
You make me healthy
You have helped me grown in so many way
You relax me
You are there for me when Im sick
"My destiny calls
I fight the urge to fall
As if death could be worse
I wish to break this curse
But as I look around
I hear a strange new sound
Laughter in the depths
Allowing me to rest."
In the Sea of school work, amidst waves of worry,
With due dates compiled in a violent fury,
Stands and island where two weeks rest shall be gained,
A peculiar little island with a snowy terrain.
The Sea is a Bliss,
As the Sun Offers a Kiss.
The Blowing of a Strong Gale,
Fills My Sail.
Tell me about yourself
Why?
Aren’t I more than pieces of paper that read certificate, honor, or recognition?
I’m supposed to be proud of myself
Well, I am.
at the end of every today that passes
i lay able to rest
because i know that it means
i am yet another day closer
another day closer to my tomorrow
I am so tired…
This world seems to move to fast.
All I want to do is sleep.
This world wants me to go and do.
You’re tired?
Go grab a cup o’ Joe.
Go take an energy shot.
Go and do.
I sit by old candlelightin the dead of nightfinishing my workwhich has become an irk.Now I cravewhat is unattainable by day(unless you live in a cave).The succulent silence of slumber
Do you hear them?
The warriors of this age
who don't beat their chests and tattoo their faces
who don't fight off the bad guys and save all the good guys.
These are the true warriors
I am trying my best.
Life’s demands are kicking me around as I reach toward His plan.
I tell myself to breathe.
Anxiety plagues my being as I am looking for a break.
Will relief ever come?
I think so.
A well-built framework
made just for me
can be used by everyone
to make good company.
Don’t call on my name
Do this and do that,
Why should I do all that?
Explain to me the reason why,
I must understand all this "why."
You work hard and try your best,
But sometime you have to rest.
I write because the words give me no rest.
They are voices in my mind
and they pester and whine
to be set
free
They are soldiers
waging war
their battle cries both
music and
I have caught myself, talking to my mind again. It’s alright, nothing to worry about. I like it that way. Being in a place where you are me and I is you. We are all the same. We are all myself. Now the thoughts are creeping in.. Because lately you
As night falls over me
The stars shine bright
The birds stop chirping
And it’s past midnight
The stars vanish
And now it’s too dark
What was that noise?
In the distance – a bark
He doesn't know what the sunrise
looks like, He hasn't seen it in a while,
He rises in the afternoon, because
his nights are filled with fear and
gloom.
He doesn't know what the sunrise
looks like, He hasn't seen it in a while,
He rises in the afternoon, because
his nights are filled with fear and
gloom.
The moon, so bright and glorious be,
The light, for such a time as night, impossible!
Is such a light possible
Shining brightly above as I sleep?
My sweet dreams, tender and deep
Fast the day shall haste to greet thee
Haste to greet thy slumb’ring form
From twilight’s soothing arms arrest thee
Tossing dreams out to the cold
My spirit at rest
My mind at ease
Now
Finally
I see
You for me
and me for you
This is how
it was meant
to be
finally
