For being wrong

This is to the nay sayers
The ill wishers
Those that hope for your down fall
A one fingred salute followed by success
To those that only wished for your failure
The ones that hate to see you happy
Smile in your face as they scheme on ways to make you lose
If I knew then what I know now
I'd do it just a little bigger and a bit better
But I'm happy to say you never told me so
Thank you for betting against me
With out your ill will I'd never have the drive
And you know what I still wish em the best
I'm a mess
Cause I'd keep em at arms length
So they could know success vicariously through me
Call it flaunting if you must
But I earned every bit of it

Stuck

This block has been hard to crack
Writing with a troubled pen
Navigating through life's detours
Mind soar from worries
Fingers ache to dance with pen
Words fall woefully short
Inspiration stays eluding this grasp
What am I to do sitting in limbo?
Wasting away time while being idle
Life seems to forgotten this poet
Or is it this poet has forgotten life?

Ignored

Ignored...
A muse lays by the shore
Of ones mind
Almost forgotten
Like a distant memory
Ignored...
Battered by the waves
She lays waiting
To be noticed once more
By the poet
Ignored...
Lost at sea it seems
A poet navigates
Through storms
Looking for a lost love
Unknowingly passing her
On forlorn shore
Ignored...
A muse waits
To once again embrace
A poets heart

Back again...final time

Damn it
Again it seems a poet lapsed
To caught up in the everyday
Worries and pains
Distractions and woes
Joys also
Can not lie its been fun at times
Yet neglect sets in
Few words have flowed
Oh one or two have known them
Though here and there
Neglect is shown
But this time
It will be permanently corrected
No more desertions of love
Giving it my all
And hunting down old friends
Other sites where words lay
To do the same
So again and finally
I'm back again.

Dreams.....28/30

Dreams
They seem so far away
Yet rest right on the horizon
Though haze the corporal form can be seen
Dreams
When one stops pushing they fade
Recede like the tide when low
Become distant like stars
Dreams
Never let anyone tell you they can't be real
Don't ever give in when an attempt fails
Learn from set back and change method of attainment
Dreams
Only a blink away
Yet can take years to see
Patience and determination are two main keys
Dreams
Anything is possible when you set your heart, mind and soul to it

Lost love.....25/30

Seems like another life
These dreams of better times
Images of you plague these thoughts
So caught in phantom kisses and caresses
Aching for a touch
No longer familiar
Estranged from a love that seemed heaven sent
Regrets bent on crushing what's left
Tired of holding a breath
Thinking of all the should's
Wondering if you still feel anything

Days like.....

Dreaming of days like this
No worries no stress on days like this
Even when the rain falls the sunshines
On days like this
Yesterdays play no part
And tomorrows are to far way
To matter on days like this
When my son laughs
The day seems brighter on days like this
These kind of days seem far and few between
But on days like this
That all seems like a distant dream

The Journey continues: 20/30

Going on 26
Another step taking
10 steps back
Seems like the further one goes
The harder they fall

Stand or go: 18/30

So what's it suppose to be
Honestly what's good between us
Either your staying or leaving
Rather have you stay and work it out
But if you need to leave there's the door
Not gonna chase you
They lied to you about that
I'm fighting here and now
We can debate and be civilized
Or yell and lose our minds
Regardless I'm going all in here and now
If your giving your all
Gonna go until I fall
Yet understand this me
Accept it or let it go
The change will come
I've accepted you from day one
What I knew of you
And everything new I find out
I take in stride
No poker face here
All cards on the table
Deck damn near gone
Are we gonna hold on
Grow strong together
Weather the storm till it gets better
Gotta know are you willing to ride it out
Or just say later
Actually would it finally be our first and last goodbye?

Prides fall:

Long days followed by cold nights
Haunted by phantom memories
Scarred by love lost
Passion turned bitter
Flame burnt out
If could go back would do better
Cherish u like the rarest treasure
Pain turned to joy
Tears become laughs
Anger into pleasure
Pride kept tongue hostage with shame
Should of chased u down an kissed u
Stead now missing u
Thinking what if
Joy surely missed
All could of been changed with a hug
Followed by words filled with love
Nights empty of joy
Days seem dim
Life on pause
Why wouldn't pride stand down
