This dude's advice is right on!
Listen to him.

I call out to you but
you cannot hear me.
Your demons drown out my voice.
We used to have such great
times together among the clouds.
We flew to great heights
until one day, when you
fell to the Earth.
It was there that the
demons overtook you.
I still wait here
on this cloud for you.
Please find your way
back somehow.

I spent all day doing
nothing but talking
to you. I learned alot
about who you are.
You learned about
me too.
What is amazing
to me is how
fast a day can
go when it's spent
with you. When
it's spent with you.
I don't know if the
sun shined today but
I do know the beauty
of your smile,
and that's sunshine
enough for me.
We ran thru fields
together. We laughed
and cried together.
We shared our secrets....
together.
Night came and still
it seemed I was
still talking to
you. I could not
bring myself to say
goodnight. The moon
shone thru my window
and the clock struck
twelve. We had said
our last goodnight.
Today we each got
to see inside.
There was no need
to hide.
No foolish pride.
Just two friends
spending time together,
you and I.

Fate brought us together
for a moment in time.
We laughed and cried together.
We exposed our very souls
to each other.
I never knew that someone
like you was capable
of such depth of emotion.
You made me feel as
if I were a child again
and the world was a brand
new place to explore!
Each day with you
was special.
You are gone now,
the moment in
time has passed.
Tho the moment is
gone you are never
far from my heart.
Am I in your heart too?
I pray so.

I am against the death penalty because of even a
1% chance that an innocent person could be executed.
Could you imagine the feelings that an innocent
person on death row would feel? There have been many
cases of people on Death Row being found not guilty
based on new DNA evidence. These were innocent people
who would've been executed. I am against the death penalty.

This is my take on the situation-
It is one more example of the system of economic discrimination
that has established itself in our country.
There is not as much racial discrimination in
this country anymore as there is economic discrimination.
People in more affluent areas get better schools, better
chances their kids go to college, better jobs.
People in poor and middle class communities get shitty
schools, their kids have no guarantee for college, and
their prospects are limited. Who is more likely to
have bad credit- someone from a rich area or someone
from a poor or middle class area?
Now Credit is being used to keep people from obtaining jobs
and getting housing. Now I am deeply disturbed to see
credit making it's way into the military.
Economic Discrimination. Money talks, fools walk.
It is one more indicator to me that our society
seriously messed up. What does your credit rating have
to do with how hard you work or what your character is?
You could have had family problems, you could have been
self employed and find yourself struggling, you could
have just made some bad decisions. We have given up
on judging people on a case by case basis and are now
judging them based on a number spit out by a computer.
The credit card companies are laughing at us all the
way to the bank! One factor too to take into account
is that credit is way too easily obtained. I has 10
credit cards at one point. I got credit card offers from
companies that I was behind on paying already.
Economic Discrimination exists people.
The use of a credit score to discriminate should be illegal.

It's time.
Time to call it a night.
It's time.
Time to turn out the lights
and lay our heads on
the pillow.
It's time to drift away
into a land of dreams
and endless possibilities.
It's been a long day
and we learned so much
but now it's time
to for the moon to
do it's job and
watch over us
as we close our
eyes. Just
know my friend
that when the new
sun rises we will
look into each other's
eyes once again
but for now
it is time to say
goodnight.

The person to whom it's dedicated to already knows
who they are.

"There's nothing wrong with me loving you and
giving yourself to me can never be wrong if
the love is true."
Marvin Gaye

I think you speak the truth. I like your poem and you
are invited to post on my website www.soulsgate.com

I'm afraid.
You make my heart beat,
but I'm afraid.
I'm scared for my soul.
I surrendered to love once,
lost control and gave in.
Then...
in the blink of an eye
the object of my affection
was gone and I found
myself in a prison of
my own making with
no key to get out.
My mind is my prison guard.
It lets no one in.
It doesn't let me out.
I could break out
of this lonely hellhole
if I wanted to.
You make me want to.
You make me think about
the pleasures of
total surrender again...
and that scares me.
Reassure me,
stand outside the
window of my jailcell
and promise to help
me breakout.
Promise I will never
end up here again.
Working together
I may yet see hope
and end up free.

That was simply beautiful.

Would love to see you post on www.soulsgate.com
Jim

Very, very cool. You really made me care for this
man who wants to end it all because of lost love.

I agree.

Just wanted to let you all know that
I have a website up for creative writing.
Want to visit it?
Go to

The way you two write poems to each other is beautiful.
I see a match being made!

I second your emotion Morena!

Chuckee,
To start off with, you are being pretty cold hearted.
I get the sense that you've been fucked over pretty
bad and have become jaded. To laugh at someone's question,
even if you feel it's a dumb one, is cruel. That is not
keeping it real. I think Holley may or may not know what
love is yet. Experience teaches you that. That doesn't
mean you have to dis her. She came to us for advice and
ended up being made fun of. You could've used your experience
to guide a soul in need of guiding. Instead you come off
as some kind of pissed of lady who has a grudge against the
world. You may be hot on the outside but you need to take
a look within. You did not "keep it real" you were actually
pretty cruel to this girl.

My dad passed away and when Eddie Vedder sings,
"oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself
like you somehow." It makes me think of my dad
looking down from Heaven at me.

What can one say after reading this?
You are a great writer!
