What color is your love?
pegggy stevenson
Is love red hot.
Is love a bright blue.
Is love found in you or in me.
Love is lasting and pasting.
Please dont! starve but start grabbing.
Love is patient and waiting.
Love is for everyone stop hesitating.
Love could it be pink!.
Or could it be gray you think.
Could love be yellow with feathers?
Or could it be white like the dove gather.
Love is in the air.
Love is sharing and caring.
Love is giving .
Love is living for the lord.
Don't let your love be void.
Could love be green.
Or should we look for another scene .
God is love this I know.
So rejoice and let God's love flow.

A CHILD'S LOVE
DANNY B. CARR, JR.
A child born motivates life
Causes some couples to do it twice
From the first cry to the last step
Having a child you should never regret.
A child needs love and affection
As you always mentor attempting perfection
It’s wonderful to feel a child respond to
touch
And to tell you they love you very much.
When a child cry’s our hearts crumble
And we stop everything to fix the trouble
We will give a child everything, even what we
don’t have
To keep the precious child happy and not to be
sad.
A child’s love should never be denied
As it is innocent to ignorance and pride
Teach a child to respect one and all
And to stay focused after a hard fall.
This love a child will never forget
And will always return to the one that
protects
When the child looks into your eyes with love
Take time out to thank the Lord above.

Lost Generation
John Frankie Connor
a boy lays in the gutter
a needle by his side
a life so short a last resort
he even lost his pride
he lived without a future
then died without a life
he will never know the happiness
of children and a wife
they say it will not harm you
they say you will feel know pain
for they know once you try it
that your will be back again
for a pusher makes a million
he makes it out of sorrow
another trip another hit
another death tomorrow

I am far away from my mother….
And at last now I feel
I miss my power too much-
too much not to be
together.
*
*
*
* *
Where is the tenderness
that caressed me?
and
Where is that loveliness of love
that carefully warmed my heart?
Is it a foregone remembrance
never to come again but
flying back to the nest-tree?
*
*
*
* *
Why I moved back and back
to this hollowness leaving
the heavenly hallow of my mother?
What took me here,-
here to this abyss of alienation?
Is it this pretty, sorry, petty high job?
or
the desire to be above the mob
or
the fishness for the waves
or
this selfishness for everything to me,
to me and to me alone.
Now I feel this bloody Space and Time
have taken me away
from my Mother
my, my, beloved Mother.
*
*
*
* *
Oh my dear dear Mother
Where are you?
Here, only nothingness prevails
before my eyes-
sheer nothingness,
meaningless nothingness
Oh Mother, I fear myself
I fear my self,
my singing heart is
crying and crying
for you_ for you only.

The Truth
I've come to the realization
that relationships come and go
and now it's time to move on
missing you is really starting to show
that's all I thought about
it was the topic of all conversation
I've given you enough time to come back
now it's time that I vacation
no more calling constantly
or even calling at all
friendship is never going to work out
I'm not going to beg or crawl
if we cross each others ways
I will just nod my head and smile
I really truly loved you
recovering will take a while

DESIRE
Billie Solano 8-07-02
I try to speak
But words don’t come
I try to write
But my hand wont move
Why is something so simple
Seem so hard
Why do I freeze
When I see your face
Your hand is warm
When you touch my face
Slowly caressing me
Sending shivers through me
I melt inside
With every touch
Anticipation grows
Inside my heart
Only wanting more
Praying you’ll never stop
The spark you started
Deep in my heart

Truth Never Spoken, Lies Heard Clear
RONNEL JENKINZ
A battle field where the mind is the weapon
Cautious stepping
Lost direction from this world's rejection
Ejaculation, unprotected and unexpected
Now a couple's unborn is unexcepted
Abort the burden, sacrifice for satisfaction
Lack of self attraction leads to
suicidal action
I know the intro, climax, and the conclusion
So who are you foolin'
Charades played with body language
Your transparent, i see the real
mental anguish
Salivate the savage, advance beyond the
Average
Paint your whole world and let time Be the
canvas
Two ears, one mouth, comprehend?
I extend for those that pretend
Separate the value of money and friend

The Stranger
Brian Jenkins
Through the passing sands of time,
The wind of change blows through his mind.
And though the things in life may change,
the seasons come and go the same.
While people go and people stay,
He walks his path both night and day.
On a coarse to no where near,
He walks on by without a fear.
At the mornings break of day,
He walks through mist and drifts away.
We'll never know just where he goes,
But that's his way and all he knows.
With summer gone and winter near,
I wonder where he'll go from here.
He travels on his path of time,
The winding road inside his mind.
~#~
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE
It wasn't until you were gone,
That I realized I missed you so,
There for me when I needed you,
A shoulder to lean on, a companion to me,
Sadly, now you're gone,
No one there to comfort me,
No longer able to see the sparkle in your eye,
When I surprised you with a gift,
No longer able to hold you on those cold
nights,
The security of having someone there now
shattered,
I am lost without you,
You were my better half,
Always sticking up for me,
Forever true to me, but I messed it up,
Now you're gone, and I can't do a thing about
it,
A dejected soul, wandering the depths of
Hades,
Forever meant to be alone,
No longer given the chance to love,
Or be loved in return.

shine.
she so loving,
in her own mind-but the pain want let her
shine,
all her love is like death,
she never finding that salt for rest,
all the pain within her heart,
longing to be free,
to have a new start,
know one to blame,
no one to hold- living a life -that
gets so old,
running wild,
and cant find the time-to open up,
to let love shine,
to live a life-lost in sin-it haves a price
that never ENDS.

The Ring of the Phone...
Joy Boggio
Becky and I wait for the ring of the phone.
We never know when so we’re always at
home.
A ring of the phone brings ease and much
light,
A deadened phone makes us wonder what's
right.
Is it us, did we say, something frightening
and wrong?
Or perhaps he is tired of us and that’s
why no gong.
So we analyze it over and over again,
Calling each other, why? Cause we’re
friends.
One would think we'd tire of this endless
pursuit
And move on to others, give these ones the
boot.
Its just not so easy, so we excuse and we
don’t,
Just endless debates of can’t versus
won’t.
And in the end of this confusing domain,
The one thing in common that always remains,
Is that Becky and I will never be
Waiting for a ring from her to me.

As We Talked
By Atlworkinggirl
The man and woman meet
She sees all of him
She knows his place is with her
He sees all of her
He knows her pain can be healed
They touch
More than just their bodies
More than just their hearts
They touch souls
She looks in his eyes
Searching for confirmation
Wanting to see the promises
Wanting to see the truths
He looks in her eyes
Searching for the wounds
Wanting to see the love
Wanting to see the hope
They touch
More than just their bodies
More than just their hearts
They touch emotions

DISTRUST
Austyn Njoku
When the world was made
there was not even Hade'
loneliness was unknown
to every flesh and bone
for flowers never fade
in the heart unafraid
to share goodness and joy
we all have to deploy
to make someone's day
full of laughter and gay
When the world was made
there was no price paid -
To share all sweetness therein
there's somewhere to begin -
shed all bias and distrust
drop sadness down the dust -
laugh like you never did before
love like you'll live forevermore
for flowers will never fade
the very heart so unafraid
to share the goodness and joy
within us and ours to deploy.

FOREDOOMED
By Marie Christine Sing
Every time I try to breathe
Smoke fills my lungs like fire
Stinging the insides with such enigmatic
sensations
Bewitching...deadly, yet ecstatic
As I gulp down the torrents of destruction
I close my eyes
Slowly, I evicted the corruption
Inhale...exhale...one puff...another...and
another
Haze clouding the vision
Then it hits me, hard!
But resistance is futile
Even if I realize its due
I could do nothing but swallow
I tried spurning for a while
But only for quite a while
Sanity lost to extent degrees
The demented mind in collaboration with
defeated spirit
I've decided.
There's no turning back
All I could do is wait...
...wait for the absolution that would never
come.
~#~
Leave me alone,
Just let me be,
I don't need your pity or comfort,
I don't need whatever you have,
You can't understand how I feel,
How this is slowly killing me inside.
Why doesn't my facade fool you?
Everyone just sees the smile and moves on,
yet you see through it,
You see the pain and agony within
but what can you do?
can you set me apart from this inferno inside
of my heart?
Can you?

Midnight

Great escapes
Breed warriors
With half lives and thorny hearts.
Drink madness,
Trickle down insanity,
The moon screams
With bursting light
To scratch the clouds and
Break the night!

"Inside"
Locked inside a crazy mind
Reality is hard to find
Dreams fall into nightmare's hands
Every breath we die again
Dark and light seem the same
Day and night stay insane
Blackest veil clouds the brain
Evermore demons remain
No saving grace we're alone
Our false hopes turned to stone
At every turn a scary face
No end to this maddening place
Sedition plans the souls erase
Perdition waits for cold embrace
Screams and cries fill the rooms
Rage spells out immortal doom
Hiding inside this endless pain
Psychosis paint awful stains
Trapped in here with no relief
We can't tell we never speak

Woman of Purpose
Cassandra Baker
I am a woman who defines her own destiny with the mystery of an artist.
I am determination at the top of the ladder of
life looking for circumstance.
I am the wick in which I will give my child
knowledge to light a way towards a brighter future running from a darkened
past.
I am the spiritual survivor that keeps God's
love in my child's' heart.
In my mind lies a inkling of hope that could
change hate to love, pain to healing, remorse to forgiveness, and death to
life.
It's up to me to take a stand against all the
negative that keeps me bound.
It is up to me to keep my feet firmly placed
on the ground.
ONLY I can keep my child from steering down a
path of destruction with the faith, hope and love that God gives me to
make it through each day.
I am a woman who must look beyond the
description that the world has given me and reach out to what God has
bestowed in my heart.
It is my mission to be that
"Everything" that my child needs and that "Anything"
that I should strive to be.
This day is here and now that I set my actions
in stone to be different than what the world thinks of me.
In order for me to be a woman of purpose, I
must make sure that my child's future is headed in a direction of purpose.

Part 2: La Femme de Saigon {Ngoc's Lament}
She has 3 kids entow, none are older
than 6 years [Picture yourself lookin' at her in Chinatown]
It's been a long time between now and then
when she's laughed or sang The Beatles' Yellow Submarine
Pregnant and Alone, alone, alone... sad
little pearl in an island of tears
Anatomy of control and dependence, a society
of cold co-dependence that has gone stale and frayed
Standing beside her, I am watching her
trying to coo her youngest child Nyun to sleep
It stings the burning flesh on her eyelids and
the rain falls even harder
Love once filled her steps when I
hugged her after skating at Nathan Phillips Square
Nothing is left in that mailbox of memories,
except when I left Ontario for Alberta
Liveliness and Little Girlish innocence
shone on her face and now she's sad and bare
I've wandered through Province to Province and
the path leads back to the Place over the river
The skies are clearing up and the walls
are building up... until they fall upon you
Belle femme dans la ville a Toronto, she's the
strange little pearl... stifled by tradition!
River of moments follow the winds to
the seas and the waves wash upon foreign shores
It wakes up the fear factor in everything that
sends you packing your case in transition
La Femme de Saigon, torn apart and
forced to leave her lovely lands and homeland
Tears shed on the rice patty that once was
filled with young and old people working together
It was full of villages, where Chinese
citizens took their wares to market and sold them
The French and Americans bombed their lands
and stole their freedom with unfettered... greed
Displaced in Western society, fears are
sold to her and the love of a man is disgrace
Petite, mon femme, mon femme... she's the wind
and the storms blow past her gravesite
She'd taken the first subway to work,
but instead of boarding it... she leapt in place
Saddened by the death and stolen life, I walk
back to where we had met and set down a candle light

I LOVE YOU
Nicole Andrea Babauta
I Love You for who you are
I don’t care what you can’t do
The person I fell in Love with
Was always just You
I am what I am because of You
You helped me be just me
You saw me for what I am
When others couldn’t see
Because of You I know I’m real
With things I know are real
Are for Me and You
Especially the feeling that I feel
You’re the one I want to be with
Because your very special to me
Things maybe crazy but your by my side
But you make things happen for me
Miracles happen when your by my side
When it doesn’t seem possible
I’m happy when I’m with you
Because my Love
“ I LOVE YOU!!!!! ”

My Best Friend
Bianca Sequeira
Its awesome to have a friend like you,
who' always ready to befriend me;
and everyone else too.
I've shared my joys and sorrows with you
and the most unforgettable moments of my life,
are the one's i spent with you.
You are a really cool person,
you are so sweet and so kind,
you are so very humble and gentle
all the time
You always make me laugh,
you advise me never to cry,
you say, "no matter how dark the clouds are,
they will soon go by."

Life is too full of wonders,
Though we do not get the wonder we want,
God gives us a lot to live with
But, he who gives us a lot, misses some really small things
But, without these little things
Our whole live, it seems nothing,
Although at times we do despair,
We have to learn to repair,
Life is never without obstacles,
Like a rose in the thorns,
We have to go through the maze of life,
Just to achieve one aim in the end,
We have to make it through the maze,
Succeeding in every little corner we turn,
So, if Problems do arise,
We don't have the need to despair,
As, we can repair,
Just treat it like an visitor,
And certainly, it's visit would not be long!

Grunt
Oleg
Do I go or do I stay?
The question lingers in my head
Will I ever find my way
Or one day find the world Red
Will I be haunted by the screams
By faces scarred with marks of battle
And will it keep me from my dreams
With the gun's never fading rattle
Do I fight them for my country
Do I duck my head and run
Will I ever be forgiven
For the sins about to come
And will I ever see again
My friends who fought so brave
Those who killed, but never won
And those died, in Viet Nam
