Emoetry - Forever

His doing a 180 on the freeway,
Riding towards the igneous sunset,
Heading for the bridge near the bay,
To that spot where they first met,

He finds peace whenever his here,
The setting sun always relaxes him,
The sky orange with a tinge of azure,
His view of the sea starts to dim,

Other than the atmosphere and view,
Memories would soon fill his mind,
He wished to relive every one anew,
He wanted to leave the future behind,

This was where their paths crossed,
Broken hearts with a different story,
Lost souls sad, lonely and confused,
Both looking for a moment of revelry,

He decides to walk over to her slowly,
She looks at him and lets out a smile,
They just watched the sunset quietly,
Both longed for the silence for awhile,

As the sun let out its one final glow,
And the moon appears to take its place,
They finally turned and said "Hello",
Moonlight illuminating her angelic face,

They then spent hours together,
Hours eventually turning into days,
Days led to the promise of forever,
But forever is a word that never stays,

Forever broke and it became whenever,
Whenever ended and it became soon,
Soon stopped and it became never,
Never stayed on just like the moon,

It was like a fairy tale in the beginning,
With a sweet love story in the middle,
But there's always a twist in the ending,
A dreaded answer to an obvious riddle,

Listening to the soft crash of the waves,
And staring at the sky filled with stars,
He finally wipes his tears on his sleeves,
And moves away from the steel bars,

As he rides off into the velvet night,
She finally arrives but its a little too late,
He rides down the road devoid of light,
At that moment there's a twist of fate,

In the distance she hears a loud crash,
Driving towards that sickening noise,
In her mind unwanted images flash,
She starts hearing his sweet voice,

She finds him in a pool of blood motionless,
He wipes her tears and says "I'll be better",
She cries as she held him close in the mess,
With his last breath all he said was "Forever".

Emoetry - Gone

Pieces of me fall to the ground,
But I move on without a sound,
As I slowly stop and turn around,
The old me is nowhere to be found,

The memories that used to remain,
In the darkest corners of my brain,
Which caused all the hurt and pain,
Were never thought of ever again,

Deep down in me there was a secret,
It was a secret that filled me with fret,
Time spent with you was hard to forget,
Yet now I'm moving on without regret,

Losing you was what I really needed,
Just another chapter in life that ended,
The chapter that I would have avoided,
But its made me learn to be grounded,

I'm asking you to take a look at me now,
And see how time has made me grow,
Our ending a new beginning somehow,
Memories of us now just an afterglow,

You may have been the sweetest one,
Yet you left me afraid, frail and alone,
But after all that's been said and done,
I thank you because the old me is gone.

Emoetry - Easter Wonder

In the room with a closed door,
Only silence is heard in the hall,
Posters strewn across the floor,
Instead of staying put on the wall,

Sitting silently on a tatty mattress,
Brooding under a hooded sweater,
Breathing in dust from the mess,
Writing on a used piece of paper,

Determined to finish his last poem,
His greatest piece of work ever,
Writing the Lord's beautiful anthem,
And how God made his life better,

He thanks God for giving him life,
He thanks God for the people he loves,
He thanks God for keeping them safe,
He thanks God for the bread loaves,

He thanks God for Jesus,
He thanks Jesus for taking his place,
Forgiving his sins in a way so glorious,
That thoughts of it makes him rejoice,

The moment he finishes writing,
He throws open the curtains,
Gets on his knees and starts praying,
Thanking God for easing the pains,

He stands up and spreads his wings,
Stands on the window sill to the roof,
He looks up to the skies and sings,
That God is the one and only proof,

Dreaming of this glorious day,
Ever since he was just only seven,
He was ready to make his way,
To be by God's side in heaven.

I thank God for every moment I'm alive,
I thank God for forgiving all of my sins,
I thank God for teaching me how to love,
I thank God for breaking my chains,

God gives me strength,
God saves me from evil,
God is with me on Earth,
God hides me from the devil,

My lord God is indescribable,
My lord God is unchanging,
My lord God is a love miracle,
My lord God is alive and living.

Thank You for everything Father.
In Jesus's name I pray.
Amen.

Emoetry - Sing

I sing; While she falls asleep,
It helps casts her worries away,
Peaceful; In a dream so deep,
I sing because she promised to stay,

I sing; While she's sick,
Songs are a miracle medication,
Better; As she recovers quick,
I sing because she's my addiction,

I sing; While she's fuming mad,
Just to calm and soothe her soul,
Calm; Things no longer seem bad,
I sing because she made me whole,

I sing; While she's on bed crying,
Hoping to stop her falling tears,
Happy; Its great to see her smiling,
I sing because she killed my fears,

I sing; While she's feeling euphoric,
The songs just adds to the memories,
Free; Life with her is always idyllic,
I sing because she stifled my cries,

I sing; As she wakes in the morning,
While she's bathed in sunshine,
Alive; She's the reason I'm living,
I sing because she's mine.
