Investment Fund – For Lucinda

Lost time by Time will never be returned,
Use every moment to the full, - you’ll see
Creation triumph over sloth and be
In years to come the fund from which is earned
New hope, new scope, in total liberty.
Do not delay, misplay, for bridges burned
Are not rebuilt without much grief as fee…

Burning Bridges

You haven't changed much
From the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge
That burned between you and I
I've avoided nostalgia ignored the sentimental
Tried to cut myself off from much of the past
All that macho and all that bravado
Makes me wanna laugh makes me wanna laugh
We do what it takes to keep on pushin'
We do what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make you wonder
Chorus I:
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges burning bridges
I've made some adjustments
Worked out some problems
Nearly drove myself crazy with things I can't change
But all that's history little darlin'
And it's good to see you smile
Just good to see you smile again
You got what it takes to keep on pushin'
You got what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make me wonder
Chorus II:
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges
Why'd we wanna cry such a river
Why'd we wanna sswim that distant shores
There ain't nothing to see in the light
Of burning bridges
I'm thinkin' that we could start over
But rebuilding bridges takes time
Time to heal time to forgive
Let live and forget
You haven't changed much from the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge so much water
Chorus II:
Burning bridges burning bridges burning bridges

Many Moons Ago

This time and in this season,
Many moons ago
I remember having those ambitions,
To possess and impress.
With a wealth of good health,
And youthfulness.

This time and in this season,
Many moons ago
The pace of life seemed a bit slower.
And those with beliefs of it being,
Never too late to pursue dreams
Procrastinated with excuses made.

Dreams,
Whether done day ot night
Have their way of accepting a delay,
Of an appearance to have them touched.
When carrying a basketfull of priorities
To put them off as temporary necessities,
Time will give to see them produced.

This time and in this moment,
As I reflect with an aging process
I have learned to respect
A hesitatiing to put off that which I wish to do.
But not to do them,
Seems to me to be a bit foolish.

Since there is nothing I will sit in waiting,
For an approval to be made.
Or an acceptance to be given.
I've earned that right,
In the seeking to please the life I live.
I have earned that right,
To like or dislike what I choose.

This time and in this moment,
My wishes as they are
Have given me a gratefulness,
To feel blessed and thankful
For a basicness that brings to me the most joy.
That many moons ago I did not know!

Burning In The Skies

I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
We held our breath when the clouds began
to form
But you were lost in the beating of the
storm
And in the end we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
And here's the dead wood to make the fire
rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

100 Years

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly youre wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 youre on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Sonnet XXVI: I Ever Love

To Despair

I ever love where never hope appears,
Yet hope draws on my never-hoping care,
And my life's hope would die, but for despair;
My never-certain joy breeds ever-certain fears;
Uncertain dread gives wings unto my hope,
Yet my hope's wings are laden so with fear
As they cannot ascend to my hope's sphere;
Though fear gives them more than a heav'nly scope,
Yet this large room is bounded with despair;
So my love is still fetter'd with vain hope,
And liberty deprives him of his scope,
And thus am I imprison'd in the air.
Then, sweet despair, awhile hold up thy head,
Or all my hope for sorrow will be dead.

Self Actualize

We incarnate here to self actualize-
getting rid of our programs as we realize.
We have our lost ourselves from total abundance
we come back to unravel into complete oneness.
Oneness with source where no time exits
oneness with all creation in total bliss.
So the programs we don't even realize are controlling us
we can transmute them by getting back to full consciousness.
Go to www.holistichealingsoulpath.com and read what to do
you can get healed from all the programs that stop you
from self actaulizing the golden self you are
we are energy beings, we are shining stars.

You've Got to Pray

You've got to pray.
Whatever you're doing,
Drop it!
Stop and pray.
Don't delay a moment,
Give God praise!
Raise your voice and shout it.
Spend time with God today!

You've got to pray.
Whatever you're doing,
Drop it!
Stop and pray.
Don't delay a moment,
Give God praise!
Raise your voice and shout it.
Spend time with God today!

So many people think about nothing but themselves.
Wishing for selfish things.
And hoping that God will bring them.

Too many people...
Say they have no time!
And wonder why grief finds them whining...
Out of their minds!

You've got to pray.
Whatever you're doing,
Drop it!
Stop and pray.
Don't delay a moment,
Give God praise!
Raise your voice and shout it.
Spend time with God today!

You gotta pray.
That's what you gotta do!
You gotta pray.
Whatever you say don't delay,
And pray!
Give up the praise.
No doubt about it.
Stop to praise and pray.

Bridges Burned.

Those footsteps
In your hall
Are mine.
Returning in your dreams.
Don't be concerned.
Our bridges burned
So long ago.
With silent screams.

That heartbeat
You can hear
Is mine.
Still beating a drum
In your soul.
We both have learned
Our bridges burned
Under moonlight glow.
We drowned
In the undertow.
Where the waves of love did roll.

Our tears
Like dew on leaf
Will dry in the distant sun.
When the earth once more has spun.
From the paradise that we yearned.
To the place
Where our bridges burned.
As we kissed
On a snow laden sleigh.
Then watched it all melt away.

Afterthoughts

We parted where the old gas-lamp still burned
Under the wayside maple and walked on,
Into the dark, as we had always done;
And I, no doubt, if he had not returned,
Might yet be unaware that he had earned
More than earth gives to many who have won
More than it has to give when they are gone--
As duly and indelibly I learned.

The sum of all that he came back to say
Was little then, and would be less today:
With him there were no Delphic heights to climb,
Yet his were somehow nearer the sublime.
He spoke, and went again by the old way--
Not knowing it would be for the last time.

Never delay your desires!

Keep the life always alive

Live every singal moment of happiness
That you can find

May one day you will wake up to see that

The years have passed you by.

And it's too late to reach for your lost desires

So never delay your desires
Do it now

May tomorrow never comes

Be happy and smile

And forget to cry

The life is so short

To think twice

The years slips so fast among your fingers

Between a whiles

The life is a gift
That the God has gave to us

Try to enjoy it as much as you can
And never knee to anything that cuts your way

Never forget that the life has beginning as well as

It has an end too

You will never know where or when

So try to enjoy it till your last breath

Because the time alwajys runs

Try to catch it

While you still have the chance

And never delay your desires

Tomorrow may never comes.

That Moment Of Time Gives The Meaning

Time passing by like a river in spring time,
Time always runs and never looks back,
We hold onto time and we use it,
But time is never ours, even when we wanted it to be so much.

With every second passing by,
Now we desperately hold the moment, soon it will be gone,
We shouldn't waste those precious moments,
Once it's lost, we'll never get it back.

There is time for hope,
To love, to remember, to enjoy, to forgive,
There is time, we shouldn't lose,
There is time for everything.

Do not let time be wasted in vain,
Without time, there is no meaning,
Use that time to make a mark in your life,
That moment of time gives the meaning.

Delighted

Oh! God, life is such!

Full of joy and much...

But, somebody says, ' there are too many grief, in the heart of life'.

While, I say, 'see it in the core of your heart which is same as an oasis of desert'.

Sorrow may come in every moment and term,

For what you have lost, and

It has been paid for no cost!

So, life is mazy,

playful, unbounded, misty and crazy.

Moment goes and moment comes...

And, when you will gather all your desire in sum,

You would find,

Why so curious and anxious was my mind?

Then, you would say, ' Why my mind was full of palpitation'?

And, You may say, 'Everything should get its suitable, (time) for what It gets the solution,

And- It's worthless to mourn for such condition.

So, It's none but me,

And I am lucky one to be a part of that situation.

Ha! the world is funny,

And I proud to be a member of my own destiny,

Oh! God.

In Injury Time

In few seconds
World can turn into heaven or hell
But sometimes we delay everything that we can do until the last minute
And hope it’ll be a miracle
It’s wrong
But we can’t help to always do that
Thinking that it’ll be another added time, another concession, other five minutes
And suddenly the time near the edge
And we can only down in regret
Why we don’t have more time, why everything doesn’t turn as we wish and others why, why
Why we don’t think to respect our time and use it properly
Like players who responsible to fight as best as they can in full time
Though lose
Though nobody will cheer them later

God Himself Cries

Joseph Manduke Poems
Poetry and thoughts written after 1956

Friday, July 18,2008

God himself Cries

When love is true and lost the universe itself weeps
God himself cries when love is lost
Love is not contained
Galaxies weep when true love is lost

Nay, clusters of galaxies stop turning in infinity when love dies
God cries
The creator's heart itself, the infinite word
the power of creation that is love, waits

Takes pause in the tear
takes a moment from the foundation itself of all life and all hope
God sheds a tear
Such breaks the heart of the creator
When love is not preserved

Creation itself blinks out of reality,
And a moment is lost as God weeps for the loss of Love so precious
God himself cries
When Love is lost

Love is the creative force itself.
All is about love
God cries when love is unpure.
Creation stops and waits and takes a moment to mourn the lost lovers dream.

Preserve your Love.
Save the tears of God.
Sing a praise to having known true Love.
In the act of will that breaks a heart.

God cries.
Eternity wains under the creator's sadness
And we lose touch of precious binds to creation itself.
We lose our life and our fragile hold on humanity.

When love is lost,
Hope is lost,
Peace is lost,
And God cries

Josie

Ive been chasing after josie since the day I could run
Even though I didnt know it at the time
And I followed her from texas til she found me undone
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind.
She was proud of her young body as a body could be
On her way to be a woman of the world
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Lookin like a lonesome little girl.
Chorus:
Josie, is it true that youve grown harder than your years
Sellin them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin back the bitter for the sweet
Well, she loved me back to livin at a time I was lost
With the closest thing to love Ive ever known
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own.
Now the roads a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place Ive never been
And I dont suppose its likely that shes lookin for me
But someday I may just chase her down again.
Chorus:
Josie, is it true that youve grown harder than your years
Sellin them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin back the bitter for the sweet

Patterns Of Time

carefully looking at this time
and that other time
how they correlate to connect each time
of the next time
to follow the same pattern of time
with no dime
but a crime
if a time
is wasted on no time
for you will never find a time
on the same time
that was underutilized by the time
you realize it were time
it will never be the same time
but a different time
at that point in time
on each pattern of time
from am to pm it is time
still morning to midnight is time
and any time
of the day is time
as from monday to sunday time
year start to midyear and year end is time

so, time
ticking as you may be aware of time
that everything is well connected to time
and must be done on time
for you will never find the same time
of that very point in time
-
do what you can, on time. for time is never a fact but a situation of the same condition on a different setting, but still its time. therefore, time is longer than rope and shorter than your scope though at times time is beyond our scope of reach and intelligence of the mind on time.

You Just Havent Earned It Yet, Baby

If youre wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
If youre wondering why
When all I wanted from life was to be famous
I have tried for so long, its all gone wrong
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
But you wouldnt believe me
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Today I am remembering the time
When they pulled me back
And held me down
And looked me in the eyes and said
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, my son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer
You just havent earned it yet baby
And Im telling you now ...
You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh ...
You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh ...

Hello Friend

Hello friend, where you been so long?
Time goes by, so easy it sleeps away
Just like a shadow at the end of the day
Hello friend, how are things for you these days?
Some guy from way-back-when, he mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah, you know I told him to
Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call
And I often wonder how we lost what we knew
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
The bridges you burned, long sinced turned into ashes
When there were no reasons, now the river runs dry
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
Where you been so long

Wrecked Him

With all those words you bring
Why do you say what you don't mean?
To those people who don't care about one thing that you might need

And you just don't know
Your actions always shine the most
To those people who don't care if you end up alone

You need some time to sew
All those bridges that you burned
'Cause there's nothing left to bring
To someone who just won't learn

Have you made up your mind?
How have you known what you decide
To those people who just think that you are telling lies

So I give up
I made it clear as it can be
To those people who don't care about one thing that you might need

You need some time to sew
All those bridges that you burned
'Cause there's nothing left to bring
To someone who just won't learn

Oh

For Mr. R

that time
all that he can do is flee the place
run away from his own house
that his son burned

it is not a question of whether he is responsible or not
it is a question of
not to hurt the one who caused him so much pain

and so all the memories are gone
the house that he built from his hard earned money for years

everything everything is gone
this time he does not flee anymore
there is no way that he is going to run away from anything again
he stays put on the ground which is right
nothing matters.
