The Freight Train

He came at me like a freight train magnificent and powerful, steady and unwavering. His voice was like the whistle blowing and his light shined into its path to me. Charging… getting louder and louder and closer and closer. My heart began to pound a rhythm of warning. My body shook with anticipation and fear, but my hesitation didn’t effect the speed of this magnificent train, he knew his destination and he was not going to stop till I was under him and a part of him, so I did what any human would do when met with such force… I jumped out of the way.

The Titanic

many dared to board her

headed for a new found life

no one knew the ice burg

would take away their lives

they claimed it was unsinkable

and many shared their trust

now she sits abandoned

a pile of pure rust

her beauty was amazing

detailed just precise

yet 1500 people paid an awful price

there were parents with their children

husbands with their wives

all were fighting desperately

to save their precious lives

family's ripped to pieces

the guilt they must have felt

the guilt of mere survival

must have been a personal hell

why couldn't they have listened

to the warning that was sent

and slowed down the titanic

a tragity to prevent

many souls were lost that night

though many lives were saved

in the icy frozen water

1500 found their graves

the horror of so long

ago still lingers in our minds

we felt the pain and anguish

where these people lost their lives

The Poetic Bitch

I am a sly poetic bitch.....
not to be confused with a witch....
My hair is black my nails r too..
If u mess with me you'll look like a fool.....
cause I'm crazy and wild.....
I love to show off....
To know me is to love me
but can be quite tough.....
I'm sly as a fox, and quick as the wind...
being with me will bring u a grin....
I am natural ,I'm me
I am free as the breeze....
I know what I want,
And I'm not easy to please.....
U know that I'm clever
and u have to admit ...
that you love me this way
and don't want me to quit!!!
So think me as clever,
Think me as sweet........
But, remember the bitch
And don't mess with me......

A Voice From The Grave

I heard a voice so boldly say

please don't leave

take me home with you

in my head I thought

those voices couldn't possibly be true

Yet as I walked the things I saw

caused me to understand

how a soul could feel forgotten

left in the hard cold sand

no one to come to visit

no way to see the sky

how lonely it must be

for some one who just died.

some get pretty flowers

while some are left alone

some of the plots out there

don't even have a stone

I look around and wonder

what my future holds

will I ever be forgotten

and left here all alone?

A mothers love

a mothers love is one of a kind

you learn that later on in life

all the hurt and all the pain

all the times tears fall like rain

the nightly checks

the times we peak

the dreams we so secrately keep

to kiss a hurt to play a game

we give our love we feel their pain.

we give our love,

they turn their backs.

respect is something children lack

we except the bad times and the good

not thinking twice what could have been.

we stay up late and worry so

we think of our children more than they know

we do so many jobs for them

and forgive what they do because they're our kids.

we teach them values they can use

hope they grow and not abuse.

we teach them how to walk and talk and

then they trample on our hearts

we love our children no matter what...

there is nothing more grand than a mothers love.
