277B SO Close and Yet So Far, My P.T. Girl

Unrequited Love:
This is a story without an ending
A play with no rehearsal
A poem with no verse
A song with no sound
A love with no romance

No chance to;
Look into each other’s eyes
Caress each other’s face
Kiss each other’s lips
Squeeze hands
Share glances

Love understood:
Love is a vapor quick to disappear
Lost in the universe
A blessing or a curse
What can be worse?
To seek what you do not possess
Your heart needs to address.

What’s done is done;
Love without an ending
Is not worth defending
Hope that is futile
Will make your life brutal
Unfurl the page and do not engage
*****************************
Will you forever ever be My P.T. Girl?

Then that you should remember and be sad”

276A To Ana My P.T. Girl (Trilogy)

Who’s to know?’
Who’s to say?
As we go from day to day
To find our circumstances in
And a new chapter begin

Saw her once
Had to stay
I knew there was
No other way

“Only heaven could have painted her face”
Her olive complexion
Needs no correction.
Those beautiful eyes
How they hypnotize
Her inviting lips
Hide the sweetness of her tongue
Her long black hair accents her face
There’s no one else among..
Who can take her place.

Never underestimate her ability
She has nothing to prove
To whom should we compare her to?
Who else has a 5-star rating?

Years slide quietly away
Time becomes the enemy
Days are short
No time to be
No time to carve our initials
On the “Sweetheart Tree”

Dreams give way to reality
Reality gives way to destiny
But as the pages begin to unfurl
She will forever be My P.T.Girl

287- 65 Grove the street where old friends meet

65 Grove is the street where old friends meet
Memories collide as you walk side by side
Every step a step in the past
Half of our lives are gone
Yet, we cling to our youth to inspire us to move on
Lessons taught Lessons learned
Life does not lead us to the grave
We are told to let the dead bury the dead
WE walk with accomplishment and pride
And hope to meet again on the other side
************************************

but feels like you were never apart”

286 -Beware of the leaven of Hypocrisy

Beware of the leaven of the hypocrites
The more you feed them the more they grow
Whose masks grow to fit their faces
Creating your happiness on others opinions
Robbing your self-esteem
Playing on your emotions
Letting others control your life
Taking away your self-control
Identify the mask Identify the face.
The mask will soon fall off

Beware of the leaven of the masked people

Intelects: Who want you all to think alike
in a population not very intelligent
Teachers: teaching our precious resources they bow to others and follow the lead of the teacher’ unions under political pressure to keep their jobs
Religious Leaders: Who treat people like things this is the beginning of religious slavery
Politicians: no debate slander becomes a weapon stupidity becomes an honored virtue lies become truths
Others: Born without masks Children tend to wear them at play many are dropped at maturity while many see them as an advantage in life and are determined to keep them fixed until they as are identified as to whom they really are
************************************************************
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party
and I attended with my real face.”
Franz Kafka

” We wear the mask that grins and lies
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes
This debt we pay to human guile
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
And mouth with myriad subtleties”

275-Donna

Not so many guys can be as lucky as I was
She was my soul sister oh how I miss her!
Throughout our youth always together always in touch
Counting on each other meant so much.
Always there when I needed her so
My stress and worries seemed to go
Forever friends Never romance
Never thought of taking a chance
OF destroying our friendship we took a stance

As the years passed on we somehow lost touch
It seems we no longer needed that crutch
We parted our ways never a clue never a trace
Love comes in different ways
I’m so glad we felt that way
To build a relationship that goes beyond
No one can be as fortunate as we
To live our lives separately

I pray that all is well
The Good Book says, “You reap what you sow”
My life has shown this to be true for real
This poem proves just how I feel

I’ll remember Donna and I’ll smile

284-Slowing Down Don’t Come Easy

“Slow down you move too fast
Got to make the moments last
Just kicking down the gobble stones
Look for fun and feeling groovy”
Simon and Garfunkel

AS age increases slowing down is more like slow motion
Sometimes you watch the world like you’re watching a movie
De ja-vu Da ja -vu
Feelings of unrealness
Cherish the moments you make
Never try to forsake them

Find yourself time to unwind
Be in the moment
Let no one or something take over your thoughts
Follow no rabbet trails in life
Be anxious for nothing
Let exercise be your thing
Eat at your favorite restaurant
Whatever you want
Let life be your thing
*******************************
“Life I love you
All is groovy”

283-The W’S in the Life of an Unsaved Person (The Preacher)

WHO?

Look into the mirror and tell me whom do you see?
Is that the Image you want others to see?
Is it the outside only?
Do you hide the inside?
Who do you pretend to be if not yourself?
Is your self-esteem a carbon copy of someone else?
By what stander do you identify with?
Are you living a myth?

WHAT?

What is in your heart?
Do you seek greatness in this world?
Is fame the name of the game?
What are your passions?
Popularity
Appearance
Sucess
Need to be in fashion?
Will a PHD solve the issue?
Or maybe worldly service
Or being a philanthropist
Is being visible based on accomplishments?
Does losing all make you nervous?
What is in your heart?
Ask yourself!
Who gave you these gifts?
Where does your greatness lie?

WHERE

Where does your greatness lie?
To whom do you owe your success?
Is your love mixed with vanity?
Is your life full of pomp and circumstance?
Willing to take chances
Dispite failures and faults
Climbing the latter of success
Ignoring all the rest
Or
Do you exhibit loneliness with humility?
Or do you take us for fools
When you speak the golden rule?

WHEN?

From birth till death
What is your life worth?
When you’re buried in the earth
The secrets that you keep
Buried in the deep
We can only guess
Will they ever give you rest?

WHY?

Why was your faith based only on what you see?
Is seeing believing
You never believed in blind faith
Do you believe now?
Has your faith given you eternal rest?
Did your life assure your destiny?
Are you where you belong?
Destiny is funny
When left to one’s discretion
Has lead you in the wrong direction
Where you are now, I can only guess
*****************************************
“For he cometh in with vanity,departed in darkness and his name
shall be covered with darkness.Moreover he hath not seen the sun nor
known anything this hath more rest than the other.”


Ecclesiastes 6 1-12



“Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat
on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it.Their fists are
clenched,their teeth are clenched, their eyes are fast shut. First they
will not, in the end they cannot open their hands for gifts, or
their mouth for food, or their eyes to see,”
C.S.Lewis (1898-1963)

282- What You Could-OF SHOULD-OF WOULD-OF at the TIME

What would you have done at the time?

Apologize for your behavior
Show mercy
Ask for her forgiveness
Forgive yourself
Show compassion
Action with meekness
Be truthful
Pay more attention
Never take her for granted
Show humility.
Be yourself
Leave in peace
Never have to regret doing nothing.
Words without action is the wrong reaction
You have nothing unless you have love
Love from your heart
Life without love is not very smart
*****************************************
“Unless you have forgiven others you read your own
death warrant when you repeat the Lord’s Prayer”

281-My Lost Youth

Where does youth go?
Must we depend on our memory?
Do we need to reminisce?
Must we depend on recollections?
Do old photos freeze us in time?
Does man’s mortality make it so?
No need to pretend
No! No! No!
For
I see my lost youth
In the eyes of my friends
***************************************
“You can’t go home again.
Your childhood is lost.
The friends of your youth are gone.
Your present is slipping away from you.
Nothing is ever the same.”

146-IF You Could Read My mind

If you could read my mind
What would you be likely to find?
Words I would never use
Thoughts that I abuse
How and why I pretend
Why the longings never end
Why being so proud
Never lets me cry out loud
Spirits from my past that
Haunt me still
Why I’m held against my will
Why love has evaded still
By turning each page you’ll soon realize
That reading someone’s mind
May not be very wise
