As Angels Do by MwsR

Image result for angels

If I could see as angels do

Oh what miracles I would witness!

I would never doubt the power of things

If I could sing as angels do

What wondrous sounds they must make

I would have deeper meaning in this kind of praise

If I went where angels do

There would never be a need to roam

I would always know my place, the one I call home.

If I listened as well as angels do

With all my soul

I would hear more than I ever did.

If I could do as angels do

All the powerful works, the angelic ways

I would not be human.

Poem

Need To Be Right, by MwsR

The unbearable need to be right

Has clouded your reality and has taken flight

It grows and feeds from the imaginations you create

The ones where you are the only one on the right side of the gate

Oh, if reality was like that

Maybe you prefer a gun instead of a ball bat

More destructive and permanent if you use that

Always more harm than protection

Please think about your reaction

If no one can assess things for the truth and not the tales

We all will certainly end up in hell

When apologies mean nothing when spoken

If regrets can’t make up for all that is broken

Then why even try

Consequences will come when you deny

Nothing will change

It will stagnate instead of repair

All a little too jaded to actually be fair

A terrible battle, a heart broken game.

All that will be left will be our name.

Poem

Dominion by MwsR

“Sometimes in one’s own mind, we must create the life we wish we had. I was good at that, back then. But then again, I was given no choice.” MwsR

Which day was it that I lost me?

Surely someone else had to see

There were things that changed within me

Certainly, someone must of noticed it all

Perhaps it all was so subtle and I was small

I understand the “turning a blind eye”

At my expense though, and all of it still makes me cry

You were the adult, the one who was in power

So why over me did you tower

Maybe it was a certain disposition

Undoubtedly a grown ups condition

Because before you I was not aware

That people like you, were out there

The only thing left in tact back then was my innocence

My desire to imagine and invent

I was a pro at it,

Guess I had to act

Because for me reality would of set me back

It would have made me a “quack”

Imagining was my soul’s companion

Surrounded by your twisted dominion.

What One Can See by MwsR

Amazingly, there it is

Right before my your eyes.

Something you actually just spied.

Like a connect the dots puzzle

You have made a picture

In your peripheral, you can see shapes,

You make out certain patterns

They join to make a picture, perhaps a face

Hard to convince someone else

Because what one sees is different from another

Yet time and time again while lying down

You will make out an elephant from out of the patterns

There, is a face of a man with a mustache

These curtains sure do lend to the imagination,

See the source image

The down right joy of it all.

Wow, what one can see!

Poem

Just In Case,, by MwsR

Just in case,

I cross your mind

In case, you aren’t still blind.

I wanted to let you know something

I have existed outside of you

Things that I remember sometimes include thoughts of you too.

Just in case,

I mattered once,

In case, your ego got hurt

I wanted to tell you I was worth more than that

I should of meant more, than a combat.

There are fewer and fewer times, I allow myself to cry now.

Just in case…

Rain by MwsR

Image result for Rain


Falling over you,

Twisted by the memory of you

Bent towards the sight of you

Rain is coming down

Underneath it all I see

Behind the bruised, shocked me

Into another time, to meet

Rain is coming down

Side by side we are

Apart in thoughts and actions, we must be

Between what is good and wrong

At the point where you need strong

Rain is coming down

Spreading all around

Rain will fall again you’ll see

We will never be…
