Not a breath of air
Nor a ripple on the sea
Touch me if you dare
Help me, to not be me
Change is mandatory for survival
And change each of us must
See our life as a great revival
Learn lessons of love and trust
Give your heart away to another
Though trample it they may
Call them friend, lover, and brother
You learn to live another day
With no joy left in the living
Only the darkness of endless night
Let your heart keep on giving
Least your mind give up the fight
Keep on fighting to be stronger
Let no man take your rightful place
The night can get no longer
Because you can almost see God’s face
As the dawn breaks new and bright
New life shines with each of the sun’s rays
The winner is not always right
But the lover will see no more days
And the love still exists around you
Anger cannot make it dim
Though my heart may be cleave in two
In the end it is God who will win
My
poetry may stink, but my heart is true.
No, it's great! Last line nals it.
ReplyDeleteNails. Sorry, on my iPad.
ReplyDeletelovely--i felt your beautiful heart :)
ReplyDeleteBreathe in, breathe out. Most heart felt.
ReplyDeleteThe interior hurts are the worst. Poetry writing can be therapeutic, it puts the emotions on paper, where we can analyze them.
ReplyDeleteSurviving is a form of winning.
With a title like "Winning" I thought this might be about Charlie Sheen.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do love the poem.
That's awesome! I'm so jealous of people who can do poetry.
ReplyDeleteFAE ~
ReplyDeleteI like it. When it comes to verse, I think you and I have something in common: we don't write it so much as bleed it.

If you think your poetry sticks, I shudder to see what people think of my poetry. In other words, this was a fantastic poem. I love rhyming poems.
ReplyDeleteWhat a inspirational view on love!
