IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust youself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
  Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
  And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
  And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
  Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
  And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
  And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
  And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
  To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
  Except the Will which says to them:  "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
  Or walk with kings--not lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
  If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
  With sixty seconds' worth of distance run--
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
  And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son.

To Raven who inspired me to do this page and who supported me in my love for poetry and to all in room 4 I dedicate this poem to you. Bee...  


You Are Always in My Heart
No matter where I am
or how long we are apart,
I carry within me the sound of your voice.
It helps me through a difficult day
until we are together again.
When all around me seems dull and gray,
I release the memory of your smile.
It brigthens my heart and warms my soul,
freely filling me with joy........
I cherish the times
we can share together,
and I long for you
when we are apart.
Your love has captivated me
with feelings that remain
always in my heart.
~Shanina Rosa - Bush~

"Stop the time"
On the way home with you by the sea
we're walking close together
In the setting sun
do you know?
I believe that if I could stop the time
Yes, I would hope that you would feel this same as I
Stop the time, please don't say anything
By my side, don't let me be alone
Stop the time
When I grumble about my worries
Even if you don't listen to me it's OK
Do you know?
I believe that if I could stop the time yes, I would
Time with you means everything to me
Stop the time, please don't say anything
By my side, don't let me be alone
Stop the time, please don't say anything
By my side, don't let me be alone
This feels so right
this was written for me by Happy Buddah.

My Fingers In Your Hair
love should not be pain my love it should be fresh and new and life should not be rain my love but rather morning dew and dreams should not go unfulfilled for real ones are so rare like one I have of you, my love my fingers in your hair my lips are meeting yours as I dream, wanting not to awake until that kiss I feel inside you give for me to take and the essence of your love for me is the only dream I know and as the sleep leaves these eyes of mine the love just never goes it walks with me throughout my day and night alike my love it shows up like the morning sun and fits me like a glove it may cause my heart pain my love but this I gladly bear to sleep until the morning dew
my fingers in your hair
 

RISKS..
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool..
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental..
To reach out for another is to risk expossing your true self..
To place ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss..
To love is to risk not being loved in return...
To live is to risk dying..
To hope is to risk despair....
To try is to risk failure......
But risks need to be taken, because the greatest hazzard in life,
is to risk nothing...
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing,
is nothing...
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot,
learn, feel, change, grow, love .......live..
Chained by his beliefs, he is a slave,
he has forfited freedom...
Only a person who risks is free...
 
This for Judoman who seems to love what ever i throw at him where my poetry is concerned
Love you Dale
 
 
 
 

Friends
 

Friends today and friends tomorrow
Together we will share our sorrows
Help each other through troubled waters
And be there through thick and thin

Closer than brothers and sisters can be
I'm there for you as you are for me
To lend an ear when you need to talk
To hear what you have to say
To share the tears of lifes hard times
To give support in troubled times
To share with you the joy and glee
Of good that comes to you or me
To simply give or get a hug
To be there when you're feeling down
To share a bright spot in the day
To help to chase the blues away
To me that is what a friendship means
To be a part of sharing things
To help each other when in need
To share each others' dreams
I remember when at first we met
Rare and wonderful...this friendship
I pray that it will never end
For I am proud to call you friend.
 
I would like to dedicate this to all my friends in para2...

Bell birds
 
By channels of coolness the echoes are calling and down the dim gourges i hear the creek falling it lives in the mountains where the moss and the sedges touched with their beauty, the banks and the ledges than sweeter than singing the notes of the bellbirds are running and ringing
 
I forget who wrote this little poem.
I learned it when in grade 2 just one if these poems you cannot forget.

This Man's Dream
what do you say to a dream you have had when the dream is a lady you love? what words to find to take her heart? what magickal syllables to think of? what wonders of eloquence would not be frail when one tries to describe one such as she? what tools could one use to pull heartstrings tight that may not answer the love tugs from me? what dream can you dream forever, if need be that never pales, only grows more beautiful with time? such as the lady, my dream love, the object of my affection I know that this dream will always be mine be there some meadow with it's magic plant sprouting "word flowers" beyond compare I would take these to her beauty placing the first against her skin so fair I would use the others to tell that one of these dreams that she makes so sweet then I would lay them circled around her as I kneeled there at her feet..
 
I would like to dedicate this to Sir Richard and his lady...

The Many Faces Of Love
Your many faces of love tell endless tales,
each expression a life unto itself.
The tender caresses of your smile,
the waves of passion in your eyes.
the impatience in your fingertips,
the dedication, forever, on your lips.
The fates of time a winding road,
testing your restless desire.
Hours melting into days, into weeks, into months,
kindling your wanton fires.
You love me for all the right reasons,
you damn me for the very same.
In heart, soul, spirit ~ we are one,
In miles, a world apart.
(c) T.E PHILLIPS

 
The Magic of Love..
Love is like magic and always will be....
For love still remains life's sweet mystery.....
Love works in ways that are wounderous and strange....
And there's nothing in life love cannot change...
Love can transform the most common place into,
beauty, splendor, sweetness and grace...
Love is unselfish, understanding and kind...
For it see's with the heart and not with the mind...
Love is the answer that everyone seeks...
Love is the language that every heart speaks..
Love carn't be bought it's priceless and free....
Love is pure magic is a sweet mystery...

One Minute.
I have only one just a minute..
Only sixty seconds in it,
Forced upon me, carn't refuse it...
Did'nt seek it, did'nt choose it..
But its up to me to use it..
I must give suffer  if  I lose it..
Give account if I abuse it...
It is only just a minute
But eternity is in it....
Makes you think does'nt it??

Friendship.
Time sifts our friendships and our friends..
For time alone can be the test...
And with the passing of the years..
We losse the false and keep the best..
And when beyound the distant hills..
The sinking sun of life descends..
We find God's greatest gift has been...
The love of true and faithful friends..
               Patience Strong

This is dedicated to the Muskerteers to whom i have come to love with all my heart and soul
I Love you guys very much
