To Old Friends and Those I Have Not Met.

Friends

We met for some Reason
When I was young
I lived with Carefree Whimsy
Odd how you Remember some things
Like Moms blue Plaid Dress
Hard Times made pleasing
By just a Warm Caress
Midlife Dreams of terror
Wondering how I would live
The long gazes forward into a Mist
Possibilities
Choosing the path that shows a sign of Worth
Useless...No clear Way
Learning to Live and Love Be thankful
To Forgive and Learn to be forgiven
To Believe it and to Mean it
Now I Can't see if it was really Worth it
But Maybe someday Someone Will
I Feel Old now
Friends and Loyalty Mean Something to Me
Peace and Love slip away in the Night
Friends
Rejoice in this new Day...Friends
May this be the Day when WE find Hope

LOSS

When A Loved one Passes on
And Their Laughter fades away
It is true that you Will Morn
And Always Think on things Not said
But Remember in your Heart that they will Live on
With Your Memories of Love
And by Friends Memories as well
The Pain Will pass...But Not to Fast
But Deep inside you Know
As long as Cherished Thoughts
Live within your Souls
The Ones you thought were Gone
Live On...

I wrote this in the 80th.

real and yet unreal
the style of an angel
your behavior confuses me
you are angel divine

your strong wings so
your skin so soft
the style of an angel
reaches of my soul

you fly to the sky
Come back
the style of an angel
because I miss you

stay with me forever
forever and ever
the style of an angel
Your style does not pass anyway
I live for you my angel


Translated from german.

Mike...That is superb!...Born of real love!

"Distant Cousins"

we've got a lot of nerve
being the way we are
we fight these petty wars
and it's just not right

holding on to quarrels
born of anger
misbegotten flames
for the pain we're under

why do we have to lose the light
we could be distant cousins
on my mother's side
we should be living
not by cannon's fire
we could be
distant cousins on my mother's side

we make our emptiness
fill the gap we know
we lost our innocence
sad the seeds we sow

holding on to quarrels
born of anger
misbegotten flames
for the pain we're under

why do we have to run and hide
we could be distant cousins
on your father's side
we shouldn't battle
we should sympathize
we could be
distant cousins on your father's side

(2010 db michel)

As World War 3 unfolds all around us...Perhaps we should think again.

"Waitin' For The Money To Roll In"

another day
another dollar
i seem to get them one by one
i'm still waiting for something more
another bill
i wanna hollar
it seems the mail is full of pain
waitin' for the sunshine
livin' in the rain

i have a dream
i'm living my life
waiting till then
when the feelin' is right

i'm just going on from day to day
waitin' for the money to roll in
lookin'...lusting at the catalog
waitin' for the money to roll in
i have spent it all a thousand times
waitin' for the money to roll in
my desperation is advertised
waitin' for the money to roll in

another night
another pillow
a day the ends just like the rest
i'm still dreamin' of something more
another dream
another nightmare
i seem to get them two by two
waitin' for the glory
livin' out the blues

i have a dream
i'm living my life
waiting till then
when the feelin' is right

i'm just going on from day to day
waitin' for the money to roll in
lookin'...lusting at the catalog
waitin' for the money to roll in
i have spent it all a thousand times
waitin' for the money to roll in
my desperation is advertised
waitin' for the money to roll in

Reality woven into poetry...To have the skill to accomplish such a feeling is something to admire. This poem is a perfect example! Lovely Dan :)

Friendship

I'm glad to know you.
may call you my friend.
Although we are not always
I think, that we get nothing.
If you need me, call me
As soon as I can, I'm there for you.
Because it should be friendship,
none of us is ever alone.
Are you sad, I comfort you
as good as you do it for me.
You are there, that gives me courage
To know you do me so well.

Translated from german

I wrote this little thingy when i was in hospital last summer.
