Ultimate respect – poetry

Amongst the countless grains of sand
I sit and gather some in hand
A moonless sky is up tonight
As stars glitter with all their might

The grains of sands I dare compare
To the stars above to which I stare
The mind assumes it comprehends
Although it only makes amend

Am I a figment or just a dream
Or maybe just a being supreme
Do I exist and does it matter?
As time passes and things get darker

And what is time and how do we measure
A second, a minute or something bigger
Can we equate our life to be,
Something as simple as energy

I have no answers to all there is
Nor do I wish to even perceive
But what I am, I must accept
and treat it with, “Ultimate respect”

Dreams

Night awakens beautiful dreams,
filled with moments of unlimited streams…
for I’m not real, nor will I exist…
I am merely a figment, of your Abyss

The darkest moment!

The world is bleak the world is dark
There is no spark left in my life
A worthless journey with worthless goals
Made up with years of empty holes

There is no future there is no gain
Just a life so filled with pain
Treasured things so out of reach
Were never meant for me to keep

I had so wished to find a love
That moulded just like hand and glove
I always gave an inch or two
To keep a love that felt so true

So much to give, so much to share
With one that cared enough to care
I have no wish to struggle on
The war is over the world has won

If I was a bird!

If I was a bird, I would fly the earth just to be by your side
I would wrap my wings around you and keep you warm at night
I would sing like a nightingale to calm your woes and moods
I would fly with you into the night and seek to reach the moon

If I was a bird, I would not be trapped or locked within a cage
I would not have wings clipped to keep me from you at any stage
I would feel the sunshine and its warmth upon my aging plumage
I would sing only when content but that would take some courage

But I am not a bird…

I cannot fly to be by your side…nor will I ever keep you warm
The moon above I’ll never reach…nor sing a note, just sigh and weep
Trapped in my world away from yours… divided all by distant miles
Apart we are and may remain… although always so close at heart.

As a matter of fact!

What’s the matter?
Are you feeling a bit under the weather?

Or,
What is matter?
A question a scientist would ponder!

As a matter of fact,
We have many matters:
Universal matter,
Reading matter

And
Matter of opinions!

To make matters worse,
We question…
Does it really matter?

The truth of the matter is…
It’s only a matter of time… before you realize,
No matter what…
It doesn’t really matter.

Maybe it’s all…
Just mind over matter.

What is reality?

With open hands I touch my mirror
A moment of darkness becomes much clearer
As my body transcends into its realm
I am entranced and totally overwhelmed

Darkness subsides and a dream-like effect
Takes over my being, in every aspect.
So light, so free and yet so confused
As to where I am although slightly enthused

Have I fallen, am I dreaming,
What is this space where I am standing
Am I standing or maybe lying
Nothing around to get my bearing

A sudden rush of warmth surrounds me
A gentle heart-beat resonates within me
My need for breath becomes reality
My mind is pure and free from memory

A push, a shove, breaks up my world
As things around begin to swirl
A painful slap to make me cry
Re-birthed to give it another try

Whatever I am, I just accept

Amongst the countless grains of sand
I sit and gather some in hand
A moonless sky is up tonight
Glittering stars with all their might

The grains of sands I dare compare
To the stars above to which I stare
The mind assumes it comprehends
Although it only makes amend

Am I a figment or just a dream?
Or maybe just a being supreme
Do I exist and does it matter
As time passes and things get darker

And what is time and how do we measure
A second, a minute or something bigger
Can we equate our life to be?
Something as simple as energy

I have no answers to all there is
Nor do I wish to even perceive
Whatever I am, I just accept
As answers remain quite inept

One sided affair

A lifetime dream may come to be
Maybe just… momentarily,
What happens when a heart beats true?
But just for me and not for you

Retreat back to your little shell
You silly wench from whence you came
As tears stream down your saddened face
You soon become a total mess

Broken hearted you step aside
Knowing and holding up your pride
Knowing too well, love needs two hearts
To make it right and all worthwhile

One sided love affair, a bit unfair
But no other fruit, was there to bear

The Black Hole Feeds

Spiralling to the depth of darkness
As oceans swirl into a dominion of pain
No end in sight to monstrous rain
Nor will any, other life remain

In deep space a black hole waits
It has no time, no feelings to express.
Its sole purpose is just to feed
Never enough to fulfill its greed

Too old for love, no one cares!

Dream on little girl, dream on
The time has come for you to wake
There is no knight in shining armour
There is no prince valiant at the gate

Time has passed and you have strayed
You’ve missed the treasures that await
Too old to care, that is not so
Too old to attract, oh yes I know

A lonely soul you shall become
No one to court or make you run
Your days are numbered and beauty slips
Your tomorrow certainly looks bleak

For what is life when it’s not shared
With someone else that really cares
Time to just live and just do things
Pretending life is so complete

You’ve missed the boat, how well you know
Too late for love and yes it shows.

Love gone Wrong….

A moment of weakness that cripples our mind
A search for happiness, although totally blind
A crippling emotion that binds you inside
A mental drain which you may survive

With love comes joy followed by sorrow
Short lived infatuations like no tomorrow
Love has many faces that no one knows
Including mine – now does it show?

Moments of Time

There is an endless sea that engulfs all dreams.
There is a land of sand that has no time.

There is a sun that glows and a moon that shines.
But what does all this, have to do with time?

A world and life that reflects beauty.
A day is all we have, to embrace it fully.

Moments of time is what we have.
No past to regret, no tomorrow to follow.

Today, you’ll live a moment in time;
As today, like any other, is a “Present” from time.

My Sister

Loving parents create a family
Children they’ll have but not too many
And from this union two girls are born
With regal names both are adorned

Early years find them inseparable
In their teens begins their struggle
Love is never questioned, just actions
And soon becomes a separation

As the years go by, they occasionally unite
Share a few joys but never quite right
So different in character they both seem to be
But always in love as sisters should be

Many times amends, were made and kept
But so short lived and were windswept
All that remains from this loving family
Are two distant sisters where one is, lonely

This sister is me and wishes she could
Hug and cuddle if only she could
Her loving sister that is always at heart
Even though, they are so far apart.

My Sister

I love you sis!
