Like An Eagle

I show with tears
the feelings deep

to the nights each one
before I sleep

missing a life
the love that was

which touched my soul
that had left because

to think I try
I do have wrongs

the rights I measure
my beliefs held strong

the beauty of a child
a womans love pure

plans lost from future
that are forever I'm sure

still I search
far within my mind

to the depths of frustrations
yet I cannot find

these living stories
of truths my dreams

in every day living
like an eagle I scream

for freedom for truth
a life mate to share

the beauty of loving
to be equal in care

Dear Dear John

I think there is a part of poets that forever yearns for that something out of reach ... we can feel it sense it,and believe it ... but to touch ? thats when you know its been found and some of us are still looking needs a couple of small tweaks and it will be ... fucking brilliant in my opinion s'cuse the french lol let me know smile love and hugs JayCee x x x (Quote~~"It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree.
