Truer Than True by MwsR<3

When you are smack down in the middle

Feeling things inside you tingle

It is time to remember

That these feelings are packed with fervor.

There are no amount of words that can adequately discuss

Those things that sweep you up in a rush

Each pitter-patter of reflection sends your heart further

Further than one can almost comprehend and for much longer.

Is it possible to need something like this?

Is the passing of each day too much to miss?

Be it fire or famine,

Ruthless tenacity or beyond what you can imagine.

Love can be truer than true

Left to its own device it will pursue

No richer or poorer has ever been a man

Who love with their all and give what they can.

Let love be your truer than true

Hold it tight and let it hold you.

Poem

If They Knew, by MwsR

If people could feel what it is that makes a person’s heart want to crawl outside their body, then they would know.
When the hurt is so bad, you feel your heart start to slow.
Love can do that for many reasons.
It does not differentiate between “human” seasons.
It doesn’t start or end there,
It will creep out from behind and sense where you are, anywhere.
It is hard to let others know what you feel when there are no words
No reason or rhyme, when you feel absurd.
It is an inner thing,
When in the balance of life or the death thing.
If people only knew what I would do for one last conversation with you,
For one more hello or goodbye, one more word or two.
It’s easy to be distracted, not taking into account those you’ve impacted.
For if you knew you could make changes that need to be made
Go outside and sing in the rain,
Walk with your loved one hand in hand,
Not let anything remove you from where you stand.
It is easy to pass condemnation,
That is what is wrong today with our whole nation.
One cannot know all there is to know,
Just by living, without anything to show.
I have had chances, maybe blew a couple or a few,
But there is one thing that would have made a difference,
Usually, it is, “If they only knew…”

Fractures Of The Heart by MwsR

Starting it is too small to see
But deep down it starts to hurt a small part of me,
Though visibly you wouldn’t even know
A certain feeling instead that starts to grow.
It comes from words that crush your soul
Or feelings turned into actions that dig your spirit a hole.
Like a plant that is starved of food,
It starts to wilt and not look so good.
A minute event that can change the outlook
A part that nothing specific it seems it took
But noticeable and unforgiving in spite
It will continue to fracture if not treated right.
The only way to make it better maybe
To simply leave it alone, you see.
Time has a way of correcting the bad
Or making us happy despite the feelings that once made us sad.
Like feelings that became fractures of the heart
Learning to let go is a really good place to start,
To repair, live with or treat the best way
Our fractures will either go or they’ll continue to stay.
But to know we have done the best we could
make us feel better like we all should.

Poem

TWO
By MwsR

Two people,
One is left when one goes away.
There is not enough fortitude for that person to stay.
Two dreams,
One is of comfort, one of pain
Ain’t much sunshine for all the rain.
Two arms,
Both are capable to reach out to another,
One holds tight their dying mother.
Two different opinions,
Neither one is truly right,
But it doesn’t matter when they are in a fight.
Two endings,
Really there is no way to predict,
One you’ll feel lucky, the other like you’ve been kicked.
Two falsehoods,
One is thought to be true and for sure,
The other sets in motion a great uproar.
Two loves,
Neither one knows much about the other,
But the holder of the love carries that love over and over.
Two kids in the same family,
One will be a preacher, one will be the shame.
Neither upbringing or circumstance to blame,
Two days,
One with which you will love and cherish
One that you will wish would perish.
Two is either this or that
No one thing by itself all alone,
I could just go on and on!

POEM

The Reason For, by MwsR

In the quiet of the day

When thoughts start to invade

There are reflections that appear

Maybe of a person, you hold dear.

What is their significance in your life

Do they pose something for you without strife?

We must reflect only to direct

To change our focus perhaps,

We don’t need to relapse.

Past things are to be remembered

But they are not to diminish our slumber

Or to dictate our future

This is the measure of becoming mature.

Yes, remember

But never stay too long or linger

Our future can be a pleasure

Our past can interrupt our harmony

Believe this from me.
