The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain.

Even as a coin attains its full value when it is spent, so life attains its supreme value when one knows how to forfeit it with grace when the time comes.

Zany You Are!
My heart, longs to see you!
To placate thy ire, this, soul injured, yearns.
Being wounded, I recall, your prick and reek.
My heart, longs to see you.
Kicked on my nose, saying fiery, ‘Go away’!
You could have pummeled my ditties flowing slow.
Or, you could let loose your, satire virulent.
Punchy poems are very hard, to glean their themes concealed.
My heart, longs to see you!
Weird you’re good friend, weighing up not easy.
Don’t veer hate on me, which you have on men.
Please, yield no place to, emotions unreined.
A zinger makes you rile and I yelp being frail!
My heart longs to see you!

Many people chase after success. Others pursue money. But I think the happiest people on earth Are the one's who have found significance. The real question of life must be What has significance for you
I'm just another girl
I’m just another girl
Who longs for a gentle kiss,
I’m just another girl
Who has hopes and dreams,
I’m just another girl
Who longs for a simple show of affection,
I’m just another girl
Who longs for her loves sweet touch,
I’m just another girl
Who wants to be held in loves warm embrace,
I’m just another girl
Who wants you to notice her,
I’m just another girl
Who wants to hear sweet nothing whispered in her ear,
I’m just another girl
Who wants to be loved by you again
I’m just another girl
Who never gives up

Substance Fades
It is done quite simply!
To reduce an influence,
And significance...
Advocate the importance,
Of ignorance.
And market this as the latest fad.
With a witnessing of this,
As a rage no one can resist!
That's how influence,
And a significance that benefits...
Begins to slowly diminish in effectiveness.
With a substance that ends as an aging of it,
Fading away...
To become replaced by mediocrity.

You Dont Know Me
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak - my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
You dont know me.
Now if you dont know the one who longs at you each night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
You know I am just a friend
Thats all Ive ever been.
You dont know me.
(refrain)
I never knew the art of making love
til my heart yearned with love you
If rain and shine let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too
You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye.
I watched you walk away beside some lucky guy.
To never, never know the one who loves you so.
cause you dont know me.
Refrain

The Urgent Revisiting Of It
If 'that' which should have been in place,
Is not and slips away.
Because of a hesitating procrastination,
With excuses prioriticized and made!
A rushing done today,
That should have taken time...
Those days before yesterday.
Can be thought of opportunities,
That came and faded to be erased.
There is nothing that will be done tomorrow,
With a necessity that comes...
That allows one to chase.
It just silences the support,
For the significance of importance!
And a significance that drifts,
Can be revived...
With an insistence that invites,
The urgent revisiting of it!

A Red Wheelbarrow
Rest and look at this goddamned wheelbarrow. Whatever
It is. Dogs and crocodiles, sunlamps. Not
For their significance.
For their significant. For being human
The signs escape you. You, who aren't very bright
Are a signal for them. Not,
I mean, the dogs and crocodiles, sunlamps. Not
Their significance.

The Poem That Failed
There is a place where significance ends -
that is the place where the metaphors tire
and the similes dimmily fail to inspire
and the poem runs out in a meaningless flood
but the poet won’t give up and declare it a dud
for the critics they spot and the readers they know,
you can get up and go, it’s the end of the show…for
there is the place where significance ends.

From Lifeless To Crisp
Life is a journey of lifeless to crisp
When it gets cracked and lost its grip
It dangles and hisses which is a sign of blood
It then travels to reach its node and degenerates
On the road of lifeless to crisp and scarlet triumph
Life is a real journey of eternity to lifeless
When it gets smoothed and attains its touch
It sways and resists its carelessness
It attains its outer space of torch
On the electronic transfer and loss
So being a journey of lifeless to crisp
It breathes out and accelerates by
It then gets stuck and catch up by algae crip
The master dye producer gives out multicolor dye
Upon which it sped before
and changed the gravity

Heart
Heart.
Why can't I fix you?
He sprinkled his blackness all over my heart like rain coming down from the sky.
Where is the tape so I can mend my heart?
Is it lost in his soul where the black hole hides or is it in the girl's heart who he longs everynight like a kid longs for candy.
I guess I will never know

Im The One
(gary allan/jamie ohara/odie blackmon)
If you need someone to take you by the hand
And help you heal your broken heart
Show youhow to find the faith in love again
So you canmake a brand new start
If youre looking for the man to chase away your clouds
And be your morning sun
Oh, baby Im the one
Believing in tomorrow is so hard
When all your yesterdays are filled with pain
Trusting in the future isnt easy
When the past is just pouring rain
All you need it someone to take away
The memory of what hes done
Oh, baby Im the one
Im the one who longs to kiss your lips
And hold you tight
Im the one who longs to love you
For the rest of your life
So if youre looking for the kind of man who loves
Forever and will never run
Oh, baby Im the one
Im the one who longs to kiss your lips
And hold you tight
Im the one who longs to love you
For the rest of your life
So if youre looking for the kind of man who loves
Forever and will never run
Oh, baby Im the one
Oh, baby Im the one

She Longs For A Love
Her eyes are brown, With a heart of Gold, She longs for a love, From the stories of old.
She longs for that soft touch, That only her dream man could give, The one that could wake her heart, So she could feel as tho she could live.
Her spirit would open up, As a bright blossoming rose, The whole world would lite up, As her whole body glows!

You are in me
Tied up here at work;
But my heart longs for you.
Wish you knew.
It's a root deep inside me,
Pulls me day and night.
The soul within is so much yours.
If the distance makes you ever feel,
That I have moved away.
Then you must know,
Your presence is as bright
As yesterday.
Even miles away, I am with you.
The lonliness, which haunts you,
Makes me sad, moves me too.
This heart ever longs for you.

The Heart Longs To Love
My poor heart longs to love
But it's still shattered from a brutal wound
My heart is yearning to love
Yet it can't find someone to love
My heart keeps beating, but it's not living
My heart wants to love & to be loved
Why can't my heart repair itself and love again?
My heart is useless
It's still ill, still broken, still weak
I want to love but my heart can't go on
Why can't my heart repair itself and love again?
My poor heart longs to love
It seeks for the warmth of loves' high, the fast beating of a new day
It can't go on looking for a non existing dream
It can't bring itself to repair and love again.
My poor heart longs to love.
