Gone Forever

The good times are gone, and all that I am left to do is mourn
I’ve never felt this lost while the time passes by,
as it tells me of what all love I’ve lost just to make me cry.
I live in a world now, where i mean nothing to the people i meet
and to those whom I meant something, are far away in the sky
leaving me as nothing but a deadbeat.
Even these words I slept and woke up with, are no longer mine
these thoughts that I scribble, they think, are no longer divine.
even with my eyes closed, to me, all my regrets and and guilts are exposed.
“I am wrong, I am wrong”, this is all
I’ve known about me, all lifelong.
And these things ain’t ever going to change
so as long, as long, you, my beloved are gone.

Abyss

All of life is a dream
Dreams within dreams feign reality
Loneliness is reality
Hurting is reality
All else is dreams within dreams within dreams
All else is a fleeting flash of light
In a fathomless dark chasm

I serve a sentence without end
For a crime without reason
I follow the night in chains
Wherever it may lead
Treading through pools of blood
Raging rivers of tears to forefend

I am led further and further away
From the beguiling hope of love,
From the sustaining flashes of light
As I turn back, all is black
And though my eyes can still see,
I am as blind as can be
Never, ever to return

Oreneile (He gave us)

A name so meaningful
A curse so painful
A blessing “Never” I think to myself
My life so miserable like a wet cloth feeling useless
A disappointment I become when good dees I do
Oreneile a useless life
Oreneile a curse in our eyes
Divorce and division came along
A newly born came by
Piece of tramp I’ve become to the perpetrators
Men with insecurities say it’s all my fault
Tears so wet blood so thick I can bearly walk
Feeling so tortured and emotions so torn
I cry but no sound they can hear
I seek for help!but no one sees to care
Pills and portions are my solution
But Drips and niddles seem to get in the way
How dark and deep myself is
No one seems to understand
Blames and flames are thrown unto me
Blooms and Blues never enlighten my soul
How long shall this last?
A question no person can solutionate
But TRUST I PUT UNTO GOD
I AM ORENEILE(He Gave Us)
THE CURSE YET A BLESSING IN GOD’S EYES

Until We Meet Again

Those special memories of you
will always bring a smile
if only I could have you back
for just a little while
Then we could sit and talk again
just like we use to do
you always meant so very much
and always will do too
The fact that you’re no longer there
will always cause me pain
but you’re forever in my heart
until we meet again

My Only Love

only-love

Just to say I love you
never seems enough
I’ve said it so many times
I am afraid you won’t understand
what I really mean when I say it.
How can so much feeling
so much adoration possibly fit into
those three little words.
But until i find some other
way of saying what i feel, then
“I Love You” will have to do.
So no matter how many times I say it,
never take it lightly, for you are my life,
and my only love.
I love you now more
than ever before

A Special World – Love Poems

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

The Sea

Eyes to dust
Rings to rust
Run, I must
To the sea

Warm, clasped hands,
and Lover’s plans
Counting the sands
In the sea

Mountains crossed
Yet all is lost
Like salt foam, tossed
On the sea

Lifetime’s fade
Like dreams betrayed
Of children who played
By the sea

Love is gone
Time has won
Saving none
But the sea

Gift of Flight

Set free from my cage, and not feeling my age
I took wing on silent breath of air
Aloft and caught up in a forever dream
I hadn’t a worry or care

Over white mountain peaks, and rivers blue,
Green pastures, and majestic horizons I flew
Never have I known such contentment and love
As I have from unparalleled stations above

Further still I flew, and higher too
My companions, the sun, clouds, and wind
Enveloped in splendor, I suddenly knew
It was a beginning, not an end

Until at last, I came to rest
On a perch too high for eagles to crest
Where my eyes will always look down on you
And my love be the light that sees you through
