Beautiful Poetry By Friends



Faith

Come here, take my hand
Lets walk down the aisle again
Not for practice
This time for real
And while we walk
We'll think of our deal
To love and keep
And forever hold
We and love
Will soon grow old
To you my wife
I will be true
And I will always be
In love with you
There will never be
A harder time
If we to someone give our love
Yours and mine
Look at the pulpit
The minister behind
Hoping to join our love
Yours and mine
My mind and I
Can't bear
To slowly think
And pass the time
It would be a lie
To call it easy
And even now
I'm feeling queasy
But in my heart
I know I should
Stay the one
In love with you
Your father puts
Your hand in mine
The minister speaks
To you and I
And I look from
Him to you
The love of my life
The one in my heart
He looks at us
And then starts
We take our vows
And devote our lives
Our mothers look
At you and I
As one then the other
Starts to cry
The minister stops
The rings on our fingers
And love in our hearts
I raise the veil
You smile at me
We kiss for the first time
In holy matrimony
And now I really, truly know
That you're my love, totally.

Life

Life has thrown at me all it can
Death, destruction, and persecution, man
I try hard to make it through
The only thing that keeps me going is you
You are the light at the end of the tunnel
You are the wind that helps me fly high
My mind turns to thoughts of fun
Times I've had beneath the sun
That's not where my fun has been though
I've had some of that fun in the snow
I wish for perfect dreams
But on me, havoc life brings
You help me through each day
And memories of yesterday bring thoughts of today
The path is long, hard and tough
I always end up in the rough
I pray for protection from God above
I wish someone would give me more love
Today is a day I continue my journey
I hope I don't end up in the hospital gurney
Joy in life I do not know
And my thoughts drift back to times of snow.

Secret Reflections in the Path of Dreams...

Little by little,
bit by bit,
dreams and memories arise.

With the certainty that,
they are the same dreams.
We all have in a corner,
of that dark hall in our stomach.

Images made out of time,
and avante-gardes.
Led by temptation having lost,
the co-ordinates of desire as.
Well as fear in us.

Untimely coming out of inexhaustible waters,
Enigma, maybe a monster.
Not learning how to tell,
between lie and truth.
Or whether they both really exist.

The mirror's deciet,
It's the lie that makes us dream.
The reflection is a constant feature,
in all mythologies.
We are now recalling in the paintings of all times.

The depth of dreams leads you to,
some kind of ectasy and anxiety.
I open the window less and less,
then hid even more in the corners of blackness.

When you dive into the blackness,
that long journey where you never touch the earth.
You read in some fold of the sheet,
that fear and lust go together.

Through all of this I can finally see,
the Secret Reflections in the Path of Dreams.
And that delicate place where dreams live,
with where the wicked charm of the small triumph...

Red Rose Petal Psalms

If there has to be lightning streaking through the sky
Proving that the grace of love and all of those
Acient human things that make us all tick
Has to still exist without the creatures' song of the succumbed,
So be it.

~ D.A. Stafford

The sun shines, very bright, as my thoughts turn to life
How will I live, how will I die? What will happen to you and I?
I see a cloud so white and puree, and when I think, I am sure
That this love I have inside, is not a love that I should hide
A bird whistles in the trees, as I look to the luscious green leaves
It makes me think and now I know, I am here, my heart and soul.
What should happen if I should die? Will I remember when and why?
Heaven or hell, it's a choice, not made simply by your voice
Be sure, heart and soul, and make sure that this you know
My eyes drift, to the grass, will the time go fast?
Who will be there when I cry, will it be just you and I?
Questions in life, with no sure answers. Don't lose your temper
Make sure you try hard though, to be only human is normal
Average people live average lives, is there a way to pass the time?
Your life, a painting, what's it of? Is it fixed with hate or love?
Love I hope for your protection, in the end there's no honorable mention
I look to an ant on the ground, isn't so profound?
Their purpose, life their enemy death. Their lives so clean with no mess
No big problems, or decisions to make, in the hot sun they bake
The world around me, is so simple though, and I think, and I know
Life's not as hard as it seems to be, decisions to make, answers? Only 2 or 3
We just seem to complicate, and for things not to be late
Save ourselves and not our friends, does that help in the end?
It is better to give than receive, self sacrifice is not a need
It only helps us grow strong, and then we realize we belong
To this group, the human race. The earth, dying at its own pace
One day the world shall end, what will happen to you my friend?
It all depends upon your choice, notjust decision made by voice
The sky is nice, so big and blue, and my thoughts then drift to you
When we live or when we die, is the decision made by you or I?
I hope its not for our sake. There's more than life here at stake
So for now I'll sit and wonder, and life deeply ponder
Questions posed for you and I, when we live and when we die.
