Durable - By Kaiit

Durable

As I look down at the past,
I look up at what is yet to come.
This change is for the better,
this change is while I'm young.
Good change is taking its time,
good change has just begun.
Even if the desire was there,
I can't go back now.
what's done - is done.
Now is not the time for nostalgia
Now is not the time to focus on what went wrong.
Darling, please come along..
walk with stride
pick up your pride.
Get on track before your depression comes back.
Stop dreaming, this is reality.
Life's testing your durability
do you feel the resistance?
do you feel anything at all?
I wouldn't say you're broken, I would say you're ready to fall.
Beyond numb to the core sweet nothingness.
Look into my eyes, do you see something more?
these eyes,
these eyes have been through hell, don't be surprised.

ICE - By Richard Thomas

ICE

It soothes my sores
And cools my drinks
And makes the floors
For skating rinks.
It floats in punch
In cubic form.
It's fun to crunch
When I feel warm.
It's great for sleds
And pucks and falls
And penguin beds
And igloo walls.
On frigid days
 It's hail or sleet
Or frozen glaze
That coats our street.
It forms the flakes
In snow that drops.
It's crust on lakes
Or puddletops.
It's bergs adrift
On northern seas.
It's nature's gift
Adorning trees.
A hanging spear
From roof or wire.
It's crystal clear
And gleams like fire.

PRAISING PIZZA - By Richard Thomas

PRAISING PIZZA

They call it pie, but sweet it's not.
And "pizza" means exactly what?
By any name, when it's served hot,
A palate-pleaser's what you've got.

Ignore existing recipes.
To dough, tomato sauce and cheese
Add any toppings that you please
From orchards, gardens, fields and seas.

Begin with veggies, ripe and raw,
Then olives, mushrooms, fruit and slaw.
Add lots of extra cheese to gnaw
And scatter truffles over all.

Then to this scrumptious-looking mess
(A monument to wholesomeness).
Add pepperoni please, unless,
A vegan lifestyle you profess.

Next, top it off with caviar
And, though it sounds a bit bizarre,
Add chocolate, and there you are:
A feast for rajah, queen or czar.

Nutritious, tempting and complete--
It's all a person needs to eat.
No known cuisine can hope to beat
This cheap, beloved and tasty treat.

REFLECTION OF YOU - Sylvia Salima

REFLECTION OF YOU

 

When you are cold when you are strong

When all fades when you are out of strength

When you are weak when all is gone

I'll always be true

 

When you run when you are my light to stop

When you are out of reach

When no answer seems right

I'll always be true

 

When you give up when you move on

When you try when no hope is left

When all seems false when all is broken

I'll always be true

 

Truth is the sincerity in me

Love is what I hold most

Reflection is what takes me back to you

I'll always be true till the end.

HEARTBREAK GAME - By Sylvia Salima

HEARTBREAK GAME

 

He loves me I love another

It's a cycle of love Love never taken for granted

I think of another His thoughts are of me

How could I be so blind It's real, It's true

What would I do How could I lie.

 

He hopes in prayers He sleeps in dreams

How could he remain so true

I cant change my heart I cant stab myself

Why do I feel this way

How could I love someone I have never thought of

 

He leaves in a future of me and him:

I leave in a future of me and another

Both feel true emotions both are clear

Too bad it's always vice versa

We leave in a life of vicious circle

 

I lie he believes

I hold my thoughts my emotions are out of control

The cycle is on no redirecting

Both ends loose in a game of Heartbreak.

SIN OF BEAUTY - By Sylvia Salima

SIN OF BEAUTY

 

She is the girl The girl in a blue skirt

True beauty True admiration

From a distance all look in disbilief

True essence of beauty but a loner within

 

Her smile captivates even the blind recognize her precense

Her walk attracts even the streets brighten

The presence of true heavenly creation

True essence of beauty but a loner within

 

She wants to scream but she keeps it together

She helps the needy to replace the missing pieces

'Why am I a loner'she asks her soul

True essence of beauty but a loner within

 

'All want her', but the wrong gentlemen she says.

All listen, but her beauty always finds the way ahead,

'Can't anyone find the true her' her heart pales in agony

True essence of beauty but a loner within

 

Her loneliness kills her more everyday

She would exchange her beauty for love

All she has is what attracts the wrong people

The beauty that shines like light but in darkness it carries loneliness

 

The SIN of BEAUTY.

MOMENTS OF THE WEAK - By Sylvia Salima

MOMENTS OF THE WEAK

 

The Ring I noticed the Ring

His marriage is right Her love awaits at home

His intentions are sincere His feelings never change

What about me?

 

I should care about my heart

I should care about hurting her

How can I destroy am not that kind

What about her?

 

My feelings are real at home he awaits for me

We both have paths to follow

The spark between is like a flame ignited

What about him?

 

Am I cruel Am I mean

How could I not care Myself is all I think

Wishing for an amnesia but somethings never fade even with disease

It feels like an explosion inside

What about me?

 

I became a thief stealing anothers space

It's never me Then who is to blame

How could my heart play such a dangerous game

What about him?

 

You,Her,Me,Him,

No I shatter the built expectations

Our lives will get back to normal

And so I hope

But still what about US?????????
