<p>There’s a small place in my heart<br />
For my first love!<br />
You where lost to me<br />
When we were young<br />
And yet<br />
My feelings are as strong<br />
As on that day when we first met<br />
You’re the one<br />
I’ll never forget<br />
My first love<br />
With your love for life<br />
Your infectious smile<br />
Your cheeky grin<br />
Your deep blue eyes<br />
Your pure, pale skin<br />
Your golden hair<br />
Made my heart melt<br />
Whenever you were near,<br />
If only things had turned out right<br />
But the diagnosis meant you had a fight<br />
At so young an age<br />
Try as you might<br />
You were never meant to win<br />
Fate can be so very cruel<br />
But you’d flash that cheeky grin<br />
You pushed me away<br />
It hurt at the time<br />
Now I know it was for the best<br />
You didn’t want me<br />
To share in your test<br />
As I write these words I know<br />
If you were with me now<br />
The outcome may have not been the same<br />
But I know one thing that will never change<br />
Within my heart still burns your flame<br />
So rest in peace my dear first love<br />
Please know I bear no ill will<br />
Always know my first love<br />
I loved you then, I love you now<br />
And I know I always will</p>

<p>I sit on the sofa, holding a mug<br />
Then there’s a nose under my elbow<br />
Of the dog that I love<br />
He pleads with sad eyes<br />
As he snuggles in tight<br />
So I give him a hug and<br />
Settle in for the night<br />
 My heart rate slows down<br />
As I stroke his coat<br />
Then I hear a deep sigh<br />
Coming from his throat<br />
At peace with ourselves<br />
As night it draws nigh<br />
Then his head it rests, on my thigh<br />
In for the duration,<br />
However long that may be<br />
Settled, comfortably enjoying<br />
 Each other’s company!</p>

<p>We live in a world that&#8217;s full of distrust and hate and worry that bound&#8217;s most of us,we share not! our feeling&#8217;s for fear of dispair we keep our secrets with none to share.<br />
we have grown for century&#8217;s with out growing near pondering and wondering is this why they sell beer?<br />
getting drunk can be some kind of fun ! but life isn&#8217;t that scarey if you live for fun! live for now and tomorrow and again live! life for you! and the fun! that&#8217;s within.<br />
take time to slow down and follow your heart  listening to other&#8217;s way&#8217;s will just break your heart, make your own choices and decide for yourself  cause in the end your life is top shelf! follow your dream&#8217;s! and listen to your heart and when everyone else is gone  you still have a part of thing&#8217;s that have come and thing;s that have went..but when true to your! heart then. your time was  well spent let the little worrys just pass you on by, and watch in the heaven&#8217;s and the clouds that float by.<br />
for love in your! heart can only save space for your true kindness and loving grace, never let&#8217;s others control your inner heart and then you will find peace and shall never part.<br />
listen to that little child within and share your love from end to end for  we only live once and that&#8217;s all we got! but how we live life is what were about.<br />
live for thine self and life for the best! when you are tired take a nice long rest.<br />
waking up to a new day is just devine&#8230; for who know&#8217;s what you may find?<br />
look at that smiling face you have dear and hold onto love in your heart and the mirror. live out your life this is your quest! to love thy own self tis always the best.</p>

<p>Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
I pray unto thee<br />
that you open my eyes<br />
so that I may see<br />
the righteous path<br />
thou has set for me.<br />
Heal my heart<br />
and mend my soul.<br />
Help me to play<br />
my servant role.</p>
<p>Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
let me feel<br />
thy precious, holy spirit<br />
from head to heel.<br />
Lead me through the paths<br />
of which I may go.<br />
Please, Lord, you lead the way<br />
so that I may follow.</p>
<p>Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
send blessings from above,<br />
and send peace through my household<br />
by sending the holy dove.<br />
Guide me through this world<br />
and keep sin from me away,<br />
so I may better serve you<br />
through each and everyday.</p>
<p>Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
I ask you once again<br />
to forgive me for my sins<br />
ans deliver me from pain.<br />
I love you,God, my father,<br />
and still can&#8217;t understand why<br />
that you took the place of THIS sinner<br />
and bore the cross to die.</p>
<p>Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
help me to understand<br />
that I am here for a reason<br />
and that&#8217;s why you made me who I am.<br />
Chastise me, Oh loving God,<br />
when you feel the time is right,<br />
and when I&#8217;ve lost my way back home<br />
shine me a heavenly light.</p>
<p>Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
I pray unto thee<br />
to search my heart thoroughly<br />
as I give you the key.<br />
I end this prayer with love<br />
and tears streaming down my face.<br />
Lord, thank you for the cross,<br />
and your sweet Amazing Grace.</p>
<p>Amen.</p>

<p>Author Notes: These are my true feelings about my Lord God and Saviour, and if you have not met him yet, now is the right time. Call upon his name and he shall surley answer thee. Although I am in my teenage years, I know that what I feel is real and you can feel it too if you just Call upon his name.<br />
God Bless you!</p>

<p>If women rule the world<br />
There will be no pride<br />
Love will have a meaning<br />
And men will have a guide</p>
<p>If women rule the world<br />
There will be no ego<br />
Humanity will have a meaning<br />
And men will learn to let go</p>
<p>If women rule the world<br />
There will be no greed<br />
Virtue will have a meaning<br />
And men will meet their need</p>
<p>If women rule the world<br />
There will be no arms<br />
Harmony will have a meaning<br />
And men will raise no alarms</p>
<p>If women rule the world<br />
There will be no terror<br />
Peace will have a meaning<br />
And men will have nothing to fear</p>
<p>If women rule the world<br />
There will be no disaster<br />
Life will have a meaning<br />
And men will coexist with nature</p>

<p>Why do we ponder for things unknown? why do we worry of people that are gone,witches and warlocks and psychic&#8217;s  galore think they have answer&#8217;s but still are unsure.<br />
if your heart seek&#8217;s answer&#8217;s and your mind&#8217;s eye is mess, think in your own spirit for things you request.<br />
seek not of other&#8217;s for answer&#8217;s too thine on path for only you can evolve from the life of your  past,<br />
each time to become stuck with worry and fate, remember that you alone can open the next gate.<br />
life is full of constant trials and things unknown in time you shall move past what you are unsure give life a moment to settle it&#8217;s dust and look inside  your own spirit to find what you trust.<br />
do not pay other&#8217;s or seek there advice for your path is seperate of  others you pass even though we walk the same ground and earth as  we go never lose faith that your road is no more,you shall perservere in this world i know with love. worry&#8217;s and kindness and  trouble&#8217;s galore. peace be in your heart always with care peace be mine to all the world to share.</p>

My poetry can be rather dark and not for the white-washed eyes.
So if anyone know of a "free-minded" poetry/pros/stories site for authors, please notify me thank you.<p>This post was originally published on <a href="http://poempoempoem.com/poemsandstories">Your Poems, Your Stories</a> at <a href="http://poempoempoem.com/poemsandstories/living-off-of-death/">Living Off of Death</a>.</p>

<p>the living benefit from the dead, the dead cannot benefit from the living.</p>
<p>life for life, we suffer endlessly</p>
<p>predator and prey, living the gruesome existence every day.</p>
<p>death for deth, it only leads to decay.</p>
<p>fight the death is futile, we all die.</p>
<p>fight to live is thriving, we must keep the light.</p>
<p>give to give, get what&#8217;s left and do what&#8217;s right.</p>
<p>be aware of things in the night.</p>
<p>never give up and never give in</p>
<p>to victimize is to sin.</p>
<p>eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth</p>
<p>be the best we can be and surrender to the truth.</p>
<p>to live the lie is wear and give the hangman&#8217;s noose.</p>
<p>let the flower grow, let the child thrive.</p>
<p>to suffer is to die, to flourish is to be alive.</p>
<p>give in to the shine, say, &#8220;yes it is mine&#8221;.</p>
<p>give in to the night that is true, do not fall for the false light.</p>
<p>wisdom is the ageless treasure, curing the blight.</p>
<p>be the children lyf or deth, blakk or whyt.</p>
<p>the children of the almighty&#8217;s might.</p>
<p>sometimes the weakest is what is right.</p>
<p>peace, love and eternal life.</p>

<p>Oh my children can&#8217;t you see what you have done<br />
When will you see the path you are on will destroy everyone<br />
Have you closed your eyes to all around you<br />
Do you not see that we will loose not only the past and present but the future too<br />
The earth cries out to me with all the suffering and destruction you have done<br />
I feel the pain and anguish and still the cries go on<br />
The lakes and rivers and mountains weep at the loss<br />
You say it&#8217;s done in the name of progress but my children look at the cost<br />
I beg you all to step back and change the path you are on<br />
Save all of my children before all are gone<br />
Walk on the ground I gave to all of you<br />
Feel the scent, sound, and spirit of all living things around you<br />
Change the course the world is headed for<br />
Make a stand and make the suffering and destruction be no more<br />
Like a loving mother I will always be here to help you<br />
Look deep in your heart and know that all I say is true<br />
Save all my children from the suffering and pain<br />
Bring back harmony and peace to the world again</p>

<p>I feel the the dew<br />
from the fresh cut<br />
grass beneath my<br />
bare feet. The<br />
sweet, alluring scent<br />
of the blossoming<br />
trees catches my<br />
attention as the warm,<br />
peaceful breeze wraps<br />
me in comfort. I<br />
find myself wondering<br />
in a bed of flowers and<br />
just in the middle stands<br />
a delicate, red rose.<br />
The divine beauty stands<br />
as if it is about to speak<br />
for itself. I awaken to<br />
a beautiful spring morning<br />
and walk outside to the<br />
flower garden. Just in the<br />
midst of the garden<br />
Stands a beautiful, red rose.</p>
