 FLAGS ON A PHANTOM SHIP They say there comes a time to every sailing boat when buoyancy declines and t'will no longer float But experience has taught me in lessons stern and grave that in a person's memory some flags will always wave For neither that stiff running tide nor rocks that aren't on charts can wreck a builder's wooden pride or split a dream in parts What man has joined with wooden pegs and sent down hopeful ways can never lose the long sea legs of turquoise ocean days All that cruising counts for much in fathoms all unknown and in a captain's gentle touch the spirit will have grown Beyond what you find overhead or down unto the keel or tapping on the old bulkhead to try to get a feel- Rap no more, it wearies me you will not find the cost when something sinks into the sea and every hand is lost But it lingers in old pictures as old men reminisce as sail holds wind in strictures although the ship be missed The quiet wharves still tell the tale though the ocean shows no track- but every ship that ever sailed still sends some signal back. Dedicated to my friends on HMS Rose May, 1998 Samuel A. Southworth © 1998 SASouth@AOL.COM ALMOST ALWAYS Almost always, I can put him out of my thoughts. But every once in a while Something happens, a sound, a thought, And when it does, I'm returned once again To the brief time I was in his arms And I was happy. Almost always, I'm perfectly fine. But then I see a happy couple, Two people who find such joy in each other, And I'm reminded of the way he looked at me Once upon a time ago, When I was happy. Almost always, no one knows. They see only a shell, a happy veneer, Only what I let them see And not even my closest friends suspect The feelings I hold within my soul, From when I was happy. Almost always, I can laugh. I can pretend with the best of them, That what he did to me doesn't hurt. And when I do go back, I can imagine how it'd feel if we were Together, and happy. But, almost always isn't enough. I have to turn ahead, Look forward to the future, Another love, another life. And when I find him, I will be happy, again. © Whitney Petch, 1999 whitneypetch@yahoo.com I NEVER REALLY KNEW I never knew how beautiful, an evening sky could be. Until I saw a thousand stars shine just for You and Me! I never knew a robin's song, could be a song of love. until I heard one sing for us, in the clear blue sky above! I never felt the joy of Spring in cool and balmy weather, until I knew we could watch the seasons change together! I never felt the magic of the world in which we live, never knew what it could mean to have a heart to give! I never knew a smile could say so much, I never knew the comfort of a word, a kiss or a gentle touch! Just how many joys I missed, I never really knew, until we met and fell in love and I shared them all with you! © Whelchel@usa.net 1998 I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW First a little something, I think you should know. I care more about you, than what I really show. During a very short time, I've found out, you're someone very special, that I really care about. Someone so gentle, warm and kind, that I can't see your faults, whether you have any or not because I'm falling in love with you, and I just had to let you know. For as time flies, and suns rise, a special kind of love will grow! © whelchel@usa.net 1998 I CLOSE MY EYES I close my eyes and there you are Standing tall and majestic Waiting patiently Like a soldier at his post I close my eyes and there you are The warmth of your smile Beckons my heart to respond and beat only for you I close my eyes and there you are The tender refuge I find Only in the power of your love And the strength of your arms I close my eyes and there you are My gallant knight Stands ready to rescue me And add meaning to my existence Whenever I need you To touch my life All I have to do is close my eyes And there you are © Patricia A. Lackey, 1999 patricia47@digitalusa.net THE PAIN OF LOVE I remember how in love we were, how we met I'm not so sure. You treated me so well at first, then things took a turn for the worst. I didn't leave you, because I thought there was something I could do, I didn't want to believe any of it was true. I was just so in love with you, I never wanted us to be through. You said that I really hurt you, but you put me through hell too. All my love was yours to take, instead it was my heart you chose to break, now I know trusting you was a mistake. Love was all I ever felt for you, now I have hurt and hate too. You asked me if I loved you then how could I hurt you, what about you, if you loved me than how could you hurt me too? Were we doomed to be hurt, was fate against our love? Instead of challenging everything, we just gave up trying, gave up caring. Maybe it wasn't meant to be, we were just too blind to see. © LiLak15@aol.com 1999 WHAT DO I DO? What do I do with my love, which was only for you? What do I do with my heart, which you hold the key to? What do I do with my memories, which were of me and you? Now that you are gone. How do I deal with this pain, without you I'll never be the same? How do I repair my heart, you hurt when you decided to part? How do I forget your face, that I just can't seem to replace? How do I forget your touch, that I miss so much? How do I forget your smile, that seems to linger awhile? How do I forget your lips, from which beautiful words slipped? How do I forget your kiss, which was pure bliss? How do I forget my love, which was held only for you? What do I do with my heart? © LiLak@aol.com 1999 SOUNDS OF SILENCE this quiet coldness kills me a slow death and painful the sullen silence submitting to occasional shuddering sighs the loving laughter still echoes in the ensuing emptiness altering, enfolded in fog, wondering where you went I stumble, tumbling forward flat on my face again just another fallen angel the only sound singing the bitter beating of a broken heart and I don't think I'll get up this time © LilAnjle13@aol.com, 1998 MY ONLY LOVE I never stopped loving you for a second or even a moment. I never breathed without you on my lips, I never smiled without your face on my mind. Every face I saw was yours ... Since you've gone, I've looked at no other, your lips soft as silk, are the only thing left on my lips. Photos, are vague reminders of our love. Your smile shows the love you once held for me. Letters of yours I clutch tightly running my fingers over "I love you" trying to smile as I remember how much I love you, but all I can do is cry. I sit here and clutch the things you have given me, things I should've thrown out, but that I couldn't bear to part with. Your memories live on in my heart. Hard to forget your face, your touch. I sit here and try to remember what happened ... I take my feelings and shove them back in my heart until you are locked away. I stare at the key in my hand, and I throw the key away hoping for it to never be found. Your love is something I'll never get again. I've lost the key. © LiLak15@aol.com, 1999 I REMEMBER WHEN... I remember the first time we met, Things seemed so perfect in each other's eyes. We would talk for Endless hours, almost soaking in Everything we could about each other. I remember the first poem I Had written you with all my heart, It moved me in such a way That I knew it was perfect for You. It made you smile and shine. I remember when you were hurt And torn to shreds, so I stayed Up past the midnight hour to Calm and comfort your pains, Which held you tightly closed in. I remember when you almost ran away, But I am glad you didn't. It was Because we loved each other And you did not want to hurt me. I kept those memories close. I remember that we had some Problems many times, how we Grew closer when we worked it Through. Yet some stayed inside And were never really told to the other. I remember our last few days, But I wish they could have been Different. They were short and Lonesome, but I tried, didn't I? I only wanted your happiness to be. I remember when we said, "I love you" Nothing could stop my peacefulness when I Heard you speak those unforgetful words. But now they are silent as if a wall has Torn us apart and withheld our lost emotions. If only it could have worked out in some Way, but that seems to have been or was Impossible for you to imagine. I remember When you cared, for our friendship and Compassion to each other ... I remember when. © Benjamin Adam McDade, 1999 BAMoont@aol.com A THING ABOUT LOVE Don't you hate it when you fall in love, when he's all you're thinking of? You've given your heart to him, but he won't let you in. Don't you hate it when you wish, for him to give you just one kiss? But his lips remain still, as cold as a November chill. Don't you hate it when you cry, thinking to yourself and wondering why? Why his love is not yours to keep, why he's not with you when you sleep? Don't you hate it when you pray, that he will be yours someday? That's all you seem to do, hoping it'll all someday come true. © LiLak15@aol.com 1999 TAKE THIS Take this heart of mine, with it I am nothing but blind. Take this love that I have, it belongs to you anyway. Take away my identity, without you I'm nothing. Take my thoughts and hide them from me, there are things in there I do not want to see. Take my voice and lock it away, I say things sometimes I shouldn't say. Take my soul and keep it in your pocket, and lock my feelings in a golden locket. Take my pain away, so it will leave my heart. Take my kisses and hold them in your hand, and wash them away with a handful of sand. Take all that I am away, away from me will it forever stay. © Lilak15@aol.com 1999 SUCH IS LIFE Moonlight shines into the world Shadows dance and endlessly whirl Stars shine and twinkle in the heavens above And constantly surrounding are feelings of love The smell of Fall in the air, the hint of Winter's cold Each day revitalizes no matter how old When it is happening with the colors so bright You cannot tell sunrise from the sunset leading into night Yin and Yang - Hot and Cold - Pain and Joy None can exist without the other like girl and boy Each piece in the puzzle fits where it belongs But like notes of music, they can go in many songs Each note is the same but makes different music Depending on the pace and the surrounding lyrics Life is a melody best played in a duet The ups and downs best blend when there are two Slow and sweet, fast and strong, each is unique and always belong Life is full of sweet surprises when least we expect them Always remember to enjoy the day and the night Opposites they may be - Darkness and sunlight But without one, how can you tell the other ... Complimentary sides of the same coin. © RadInfo1@aol.com, 1999 I SOMETIMES WONDER....... If only I would've been there for you, would it still be me and you? If only I said 'I love you' more often, would you have stayed then? If only I showed you more love, would I still be your only one? If only I didn't argue, would I still be with you? If only I loved you a little more, would my heart not be so sore? If only I gave more instead of took, would you give me another look? If only I didn't get upset, would you still regret the day we met? If only I cared a little less, then would I still be in this mess? Sometimes I wonder about me and you, and think if only there was something I could do. © LiLak15@aol.com 1999 DAYS GO BY ... If only you knew what you mean to me, what would it take for you to see? Sometimes I lay awake wondering where you are, silently making a wish on my bright star. Lately my days seem sad and dark, my heart still aches where you left your mark. I sit and stare at pictures of you, and think to myself, 'if only you knew.' If only you knew how I miss you, what would it make you do? Sometimes I wish we'd never met, then maybe your face I could forget. Lately I've been thinking of things I want to say, things I hope to say to you someday. If only you knew how I long to be yours forever, then would we be together? Sometimes I wonder what happened to us, you know I'd never hurt you on purpose. Lately my heart feels like it's dying, and all I feel like doing is crying. If only you knew, how much I love you, would you say it to me too? © LiLak15@aol.com 1999 PUZZLE OF LOVE The snowflake slowly drifted down from the pristine Winter sky Her red hair shining brightly as it framed her gold flecked eyes Her beauty stunned me as my knees wanted to tremble When our eyes met my sould felt like it had finally assembled The lightning and thunder in the air ... were dim in my eyes when they compare to the strength and depth and power of my emotions when she is there Every day, every night, the minutes are filled with my thoughts and desires Soft skin, sweet lips, a smile to melt, a grin to remind me of her wiles The sun and moon and stars all sing of her graces to the universe's end When our lips meet it seems the world is still only to begin My skin tingles where her hands and lips have gently touched My heart beats wildly each time we talk, our souls caressed Like pieces in a puzzle, we seem to fill in each others souls Sometimes the pieces flow gently into the parts to make the whole Other times the pieces aren't quite sure where to go or when to move Each afraid of what will happen when the puzzle is complete or what will happen if the pieces suddenly don't fit No box top picture to work from, each must move and change the pieces from our pasts, each hold us with grips like steel chains The future uncertain, the past is already written The passion of life slow down for no man, but wait forever unchanging Ready to consume the unwary ... fulfill the daring ... Life is fleeting, wounds heal slowly, time and faith and love are forever never leaving, never changing, the only constant in life is change Love and life are truly only enjoyed when shared with another. © RadInfo1@aol.com, 1999 IS THIS A GAME? You may say that you love me You say that you care So why am I lonely? Why aren't you there? Please tell me One way of the other Do we have a future? Or am I just a lover? Is the line dangling? And I the bait? Are you playing a game? Making me wait. A thing to mess with? When it suits your mood Chewing me up Like a piece of food You know how I love you And how much I care You are breaking my heart And that's not fair You have to be honest And truthful to me Either love me wholly Or leave me be Let me pick up the pieces Before it's too late Let go of me Before I hate I need you completely Or not at all I can't play these games Anymore © babsann@mail.kewl.com.au 1998 The following, while it is not strictly a poem, due to formatting will appear to be. It is from CoDa and it is in the public domain and may be copied and distributed freely. I've included it here because I just happen to like it. LISTEN When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice, you have not done what I ask. When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I should not feel that way, you have trapped my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem, you have failed me, strange as that may seem. Listen. All I ask is that you listen. Not talk or do... just listen and hear me. I can do for myself, I am not helpless. When you do something for me that I can do for myself, you contribute to my fear and weakness. But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convince you and get about the business of understanding what's behind this irrational feeling, and when that's clear, the answers are obvious and I don't need advice. Irrational feelings make sense when we understand them. Perhaps that is why prayer works sometimes, for some people, because God is mute and doesn't give advice or fix things. He just listens and lets you work it out yourself. So, please listen, and just hear me. And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn and I'll listen to you. LOOK AT ME NOW Hi grandpa, how are you? Don't you know I really miss you? You were my hero, my friend, and my protector. You were always the caring one who opened your door. Daddy would come home drunk and say, "Come on, Sadie, we are going home." But Grandpa, you never let him take me. I looked up to you, you taught me right and wrong. Then one day you got really sick just out of the blue. I could hear everyone saying, "He's fading fast." Oh Lord, help me; Grandpa, come back to me. I don't want you to be part of my past. Soon you were gone from me but, you knew that I loved you, and I will always remember how much you loved me too. I wish I could say... Remember all those times, Grandpa, when it was just you and I? But, all I can say is, Goodbye. Remember when I made you play house with me? And you told me there was no other place you'd rather be I'll never forget those days. You touched my heart in so may ways. I Love you Grandpa. Sadie Copyright by SadieSmurf@aol.com, 1998 DO NOT STAND..... "Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's rush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die." - Anonymous - IF THE WORLD WERE BLIND If the world were blind, maybe then we'd see the true side of beauty, deep within you and me. No one could judge us by our outer looks, like the fancy covers on expensive books. We'd see with our hearts, and not just our eyes, and what we discover might be a surprise. There would be no need to try to impress, with the way we look or the way that we dress. The only thing that would matter is the way we would feel, not phoney or cheap, but truthful and real. - Anonymous - IF I HAD A SECOND CHANCE I'd stop looking and start seeing, and treat everyone as a human being. I'd stop taking and start giving, stop hiding and start living. I'd do more listening and a lot less talking, Enjoy the world and do more walking. I'd take my eyes of fmy watch and watch with my eyes, to notice the trees and the beautiful sky. I'd stop criticizing and show more love, be less forgetful and give thanks to up above. I'd be less angry and swallow my pride, and share with the world what I have inside. I'd stop hating and be more kind, and give a little more of my precious time. I'd give more encouragement and a lot more praise, and do a lot less judging, for I too have lost my way. I'd get my priorities in order and straight, better now than never Lord, I'm just a bit too late. I'd stop hopelessly chasing after the wind, From this point on anew I begin. - Anonymous - COPYRIGHTED POEMS MAY NOT BE COPIED, PUBLISHED OR USED IN ANY WAY WITHOUT THE EXPRESS, WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR.
