Love came to me to rob me Took everything from me I was in deep love I am still in deep love There was and is no one else The continent has separated us As it did when people were stolen long ago from their homes and brought to a distant land To ache also for their stolen love The thief is insuffient funds I wore myself out in this struggle As he himself did also I could not get to him nor he to me Prophecy is being fulfilled fast and time is a factor not enough time to embrace my true love for it is oceans apart Faith where did you go For just yesterday I was singing a most heart renduring song about love That even love broke down and cried this day has brought Something different Something called robbery Why does the ache of love have to be painful And expressed on cyber paper & ink only to file itself somewhere in cyberspace among cyber emotions No one will ever know it is me for whom this poem is written I will pretend and lock my heart No one will ever know, but You God Even I will never know Why is the store house of my Father not open for me You the reader thinking thoughts judging yet not knowing who I am or what my life was like or what caused me to go in this or that direction I do not have the time now For time yes time is running out I will say I have loved but once But never felt it's warmth or it's kisses or it's whispers All that was stolen So when you finish reading this sorrowful want of my heart pray for me for I could be you if not now then perhaps tomorrow so judge me carefully for love is delicate

Cheer up pale maiden Life is full of simple pleasure Until you fall in love that is You describe me in your song You talk about a past I lived Until I weaned myself and ACCEPTED that my shadow ain't me I am alone but yet unique Seperated yet complete My mind is made up I'd rather go out and live If possible love happens, so be it a mirage I'll not chase No not anymore Who wants love that's impossible? Certainly not me the old lady maturity is having a laugh "you can't love what you know not You are gripped by a shadow To cuddle the air is lunacy The cyber is a crazy place Believe not what they say they are Only trust what you know well"

Hi & Yes I do understand it was written for someone who is going through some hard times & I wrote it this morning for them & I know them very well & the relationship is based on a time right before the Biafra War. The ones involved are friends of the family for many years. In their youth they both were friends. & the friendship extended to the children. I have a better one. I will find it and post it 4 you The question is which one.
The previous poem is dedicated to James & Stephanie.

On the one hand women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.... So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Share this with other women who are good apples, even those who have already been picked!
And on the other hand... Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
No it doesn't seem quite like poetry somehow . But I have another one

Element Name: WOMAN Symbol: Wo Atomic Weight: Don't even go there!! Physical Properties: Generally round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze at any time. Melts whenever treated properly. Very bitter if not used well. Chemical Properties: Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses strong affinity to gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. Violent when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a better specimen. Usage: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income reducing agent known. Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.
Element Name: MAN Symbol: Xy Atomic Weight: 180 +/- 50 Physical Properties: Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find pure sample. Chemical Properties: Attempts to bond with Wo any chance it can get . Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with Kd (element: child) for prolonged period of time. Neutralize by saturating with alcohol. Usage: None known. Possibly good methane source. Good samples are able to produce large quantities on command. Caution: In the absence of Wo, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell.

I originally posted a poem here I call "Lovers and Troubles" but decided it was infringement, so I posted it on its own thread. Sorry 'bout that.
