WORDS

Words sometime unspoken, a silence left unsaidWhat was really going on instead?Reflections of many, feelings of all,Presented upon ones personal wall. Words taking out of context, spoken words of suchAfter it all, did it really mean anything much?A written word, it's feelings, it's hurts, for these are only wordsNot of hatred and swords... Thoughts, feelings, love, hatred, words..For what do they bring, happiness or sadness?Peacefulness or gladness? Words like knives, cutting to the core.For words of hatred, we bear no more. Words of love, peace, forgiveness, composedExpressions of feelings to soon be exposed.The beautiful words you write in your poems,For there lies your heart, and there lies your home.

i like the part "taken out of context" it seems to be a trend these days. understanding and compassion makes a difference. ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara

Thank you EyeZ

I am happy you visited this poem as it was also good for me to read it again. I also made coment to your poems and just wonder if this is indeed a singing group out there. After all many songwriters get their songs through a poem. Keep up your good work Eyez and thank you for the feedback on this one. Magics02

Haha no it is not a group.

Haha no it is not a group. My friends all call me Eyez cause I hate my real name. The street geist thing is because I was homeless for a majority of my life an one of the elders in my street family was a poet. So he read some of my stuff and helped me set up an account on here. He called me a ghost because I was there one minute an gone the next. A lonerider if you will. :) I just feel like all words have a rhythm, we just need to find the patience to hear it. But maybe I should look into song writing I have had people tell me that before. <3Eyez

Yes Yes Yes

You do just that Eyez!! I am going to inspire you to do just that thing write those poems and then produce a melody, you just never know how far you can go with it. You go back to your elder friend and sit with him and talk about this your writes. I will give some titles if you like to try. As I see you said you were homeless my heart goes out to you and hoping your life is better and there is a warm bed for you tonight and your singing is allright. LOL. Also remember it is a good thing to write it out and then maybe you can create that tune that goes with your own style of rhythm. A challenge for you A poem or song to write named Lonerider Love to hear it Peace my newest friend. (now which one is you in the pic?) Magics02

I am the one everyone is

I am the one everyone is holding up. That was after a poetry slam we were all pretty excited. haha. And as far as warm beds, well that is nice and all, however I am at peace if my words can express my newfound warmth in my heart. And I must say, my friends couch is comfortable for when it is available, but don't you find a serene feeling laying under the stars at night? A certain connection is made with your soul when surrounded by such natural pure beauty. Nature, something we too often take for granted. Instead of wallowing I show gratitude for the opportunity to appreciate a side of life that highlights both the good and the bad. For as deep as your sorrow is as deep as your joy. <3Eyez

Morning friend

Yes sleeping uder the stars could be nice. How I pray for you to find a good place where you can also do that in your back yard by the firepit to keep you warm. I will be looking at your work and keep on writing, keep on singing and I love your positive attitude in your life however good or bad it may seem. Remember it is just a passing thing and I would love to hear your spoken word here reciting your next poem. Blessings out to you dear friend eyez on the street. Magics02 xoxoxox
