We Fear Those We Love Will Suffer

WE FEAR THOSE WE LOVE WILL SUFFER

We fear those we love
Will suffer-
We strive to protect them-
But each life has its sufferings
And each story a way to its own pain-
We can care and we can help and we can pray
But we cannot stop
Life from being life.

We pray those we love will not suffer
And they do.

Sonnet: Let Sufferings Come, So What!

My suff’rings isn’t big compared to others;
Each one’s sufferings appear too much to him!
How suffered my freedom-fighter brothers!
We tend to think that each one’s life is grim.

How pioneers suffer in walks of life!
How prisoners suffer in lone cellars!
How leaders strive to ward off unique strife!
How people suffer when come down pillars!

Suffered have many, much more than any;
How suffered Christ for man’s sins on the cross!
Sufferings in life will visit so many;
A man who suffers is now his own boss!

Sufferings are nothing when God is beside;
In suff’ring souls on earth, God will reside.

All In The Name Of Love

(coverdale/vandenberg)
Some people tell me
The blues aint bad,
But, Ive never know anything
Make me feel so sad...
Running on empty, hurting to the core,
When everything dont mean nothing any more...
From a distance
Every little thing looks fine,
But, the closer you get
You see the make up,
Cracked and lined...
Somewhere theres a rainbow
With a pot of gold,
But, by the time you get there
Its been taken and sold...
So I keep saying, baby...
All in the name of love,
Its all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...
In my room
There are no shadows in the wall,
cause I closed up the window
So no light gets in at all.
Its a bad situation,
With no end in sight,
A heartache deep as the ocean
And darker than the night...
So I keep saying to you, baby,
All in the name of love,
Its all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...
With no one to lean on
You pray to the lord above,
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of love...
All in the name of love...
With no one to lean on
You pray to the lord above,
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of love...
All in the name of love,
Its all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...
All in the name of love,
Its all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...
All in the name of love...

I Suffer The Night

I suffer the night
When it's time to face my sadness
And all I can do is cry

I suffer the night
When I struggle to find rest
Knowing in the morning I must rise

I suffer the night
When alone in the darkness
I wonder why I am alive

I suffer the night
When I succumb to blackness
And finally stop asking why

I suffer the night
As it battles my mind
And my spirit slowly dying

I suffer the night
As I reach for the light
And pray that my death be kind

Never Even Thought

Never even thougt it would happen to me
Maybe Ive been blind
Only others can see Im in love
What am I to do. can I let it show
Do I keep it to myself
Or should I let her know Im in love
Do I nurse it in my heart
Hold it back in my eyes
Hide it all inside
Or put on a disguise Im in love
Have I gotta play games
Even suffer the pain
Let the secret out
Even suffer the doubt Im in love
I know its all there
I really wanna share my life
With someone else
Will she feel the same
What am I to do.can I let it show
Do I keep it to myself
Or should I let her know Im in love
It isnt so easy when youve broken before
But it isnt so hard when youre ready for more
Could you love me
Give me a simple clue
Anything will do
So long as I know
Whats in me is in you
Could you love me
Ive got so much of care to give away
Theres only one thing I wanna hear you say
I love you...
Have I gotta play games
Even suffer the pain
Let the secret out
Even suffer the doubt Im in love
I know its all there
I really wanna share my life
With someone else
Will she feel the same

Pray

I pray for your safety my love
Pray your dreams be fulfilled
Pray for help from God above
Pray a shattered world rebuild

Pray with me, that all are fed
Pray our Lord God will listen
Pray we see what lay ahead
Pray our mortal souls be risen

Pray for all who now do suffer
Pray for respite from their pain
Pray empathy provides a buffer
Pray for those few gone insane

Believe sincere prayers always work
Believe prayer lights where Satan lurks

Comprehension...Or Torment

No one knows,
When we suffer.
Or how it is we suffer,
When suffering comes and is done...
By anyone

No one knows the extent of it.
How deep what is felt.
And when those sorrows visit to sit.

Although folks give advice and instructions.
With sections of pamphlets,
To read by professionals.
To emphasize their recommendations,
Underlined in 'red'.
Suggestions researched...
To read and ease our minds,
Before going to bed!
Hopefully not to stay awake...
To pace the floor instead.

No one knows,
When we suffer.
Or how it is we suffer,
When suffering comes and is done...
By anyone.

When suffering comes.
And alone it is done!

And listening to someone say to us to pray...
Is not a cure all or remedy,
That takes our suffering to numb quickly away.

But...
Pray we must,
And trust...
That those burdens carried,
Will be lifted up and away from us.
Knowing in our hearts...
God watches and will do His part!

No one knows,
When we suffer.
Or how it is we suffer,
When suffering comes and is done....
By anyone.

When suffering comes.
And alone it is done!
So it seems.

Only God knows how to heal and mend!
Only God knows when to send our sufferings away.

And many times with faith...
God intervenes.
Before the suffering has had a chance,
To arrive on the scene.
Depending on what it is we wish to choose.
Comprehension...
Or torment,
With unquestioned agony!

Suffer

Im gonna suffer for you no longer
Im gonna suffer for you no more
Im gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
You tried to drive a wedge between me and my friends
You pushed me to the edge time and again
Ive been living in your shade since I cant remember when
Now Im bringing this charade to an end
Im gonna suffer for you no longer
Im gonna suffer for you no more
Im gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
There was subtlety and skill in your manipulative ways
You chipped away my will so you could make me stay
You soothed me with your voice until I obeyed
But Im making my own choice from today
You used the tongue of love like a boxer uses fists
You contained me like a glove or a creeping cloak of mist
You guaranteed the stars but there always was a twist
Now I see you as you are - egotist !
Im gonna suffer for you no longer
Im gonna suffer for you no more
Im gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
Ive got a ticket in my hand and I must be moving on
But I want you to understand that from the moment I am gone
I release and let you go - you owe nothing now to me
Im not angry anymore - Im free !
Im gonna suffer for you no longer
Im gonna suffer for you no more
Im gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door

A Truth I Weep

wondering in the maze of life
somewhere i stopped on a hyacinth
O' my hyacinth
picking it in my hands
the fragrance though spread
overwhelmed in the perfume of it
i wanted to admit
the beauty of love i had for it
with a pricking pain
i saw the thorns
never with a hyacinth
but there were they
to grin was my compulsion
to laugh was the only way
to not let the heart break
i know the pain
but cant let you suffer
O' my hyacinth
cant let you suffer
cant let you suffer

Romney = 2012 Poem

If any single question can be said to rule the day
And dominate the 2012 presidential campaign,
It is whether the conservative policies by Mitt Romney
Would benefit or hurt all who suffer and complain.

Our country is at war with financial collapse and moral ruin
With multitudes out of work and consumed by justifiable fear.
Every day the news gets more doubtful and hopeless
As the righteous pray for all they love and hold dear.

We need a president that can inspire and motivate
The hearts and souls of Americans and their concern.
All through history we suffer from misjudgment and mistakes
As we pray and meditate we transform, advance and learn.

Refiner's Fire

Logic has no answers
For such inequality-
Why do good men suffer?
Just a painful reality.

The righteous suffer so,
While the bad remain untouched,
The reasons we don't know
Why we suffer things so much.

To put my mind at ease,
In my prayer He gave me
A glimpse of His masterpiece
A purpose there to see.

'Pain will purify thee
With water of Affliction,
And the bread of Adversity,
Will teach you life's direction.

These came with the fall of man
But they prune you for the best,
Just trust with all you can
And you'll soon pass the test.

All your dross will be removed
When you pass the Refiner's Fire,
And your goodness will be proved
For My Will you will desire.'

When I pass the fire I suffer
But He is in the furnace with me
And I love Him more than ever,
Love as gold as eternity.

'....but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

I Still Have Fear Getting Out Of The Circle

i am staying
i finally tell myself
there is no sense going out of the circle
the comfort of its radius
being in
for the rest of my life

inside i may suffer
i may bleed in silence
but i live and i can still do what i can
to ease the pain

i have seen you
leave the circumference
you shout at first
you are free

then you suffer alone
in agony
then you die
then no one remembers
no one really cares
no one understands completely
us, how we both suffer

inside and outside us
how we suffer everywhere
how we live how we die

Hopes and fears hook us.

Hope of gain is more cheerful than the gain.
Hope of love is more charming than the love.
Hope of life is more assuring than the life.
Being slave to hopes, we enjoy most

Fear of loss is more dreadful than the loss.
Fear of pain is more painful than the pain.
Fear of death is more horrible than the death.
Being slave to fears, we suffer most.

Fear Nothing But One

Fear Love for it will kill you both in such thrill
Makes you suffer when you're happy
Makes you perish when you're ill
Fear it for it makes you decide in such a deadly way
Makes you choose if you are for your happiness
Makes you decide to work or play

Fear Dark for it will blind you and always let you fall
Makes you fall without such judgment
Makes you cry in no such call
Fear it for it makes you clueless and not updated and aware
Makes you tremble without knowing
Makes you hardly even care

Fear Needles for it will bleed you and strike you in the eye
Makes you suffer bleeding hard
Makes you simply knowing you're alive
Fear it for it will simply have a permanent scar on your face
Makes you feel be wasted
Makes you wanted it to erase

Fear everything else but nothing beats them all but him
God sets the beginning of everything
God sets the end of everything
Fear him for he can do anything even impossible in the eye
God will make you face your fear
God will make you sigh

Unchain Your Love

Real love dwells inside us

Real love comes without warnings at once

Throughout our lives real love may comes just once

And disappears at once

Real love is priceless

Real love is as bright as opalescence

Real love is unconditional and boundless

Real love will make your eyes tear

Real love will make you learn what's the real fear

While chasing steps of love realites come clear

Love runs and race begins to take cease

While protecting your love to keep it near

Real love will make your eyes tear

Real love will make you learn what's the real fear

Finding real love is hard to come real

It comes just ones and always runs as a leer

Is it because real love doesn't exist

Or just because of our fears

Our tryings to Keep the precious things

Out of our hands we become jailers of love

As we hold it so tight we break it to thousands of parts

While chasing steps of love realities comes clear

Love runs away while lovers care
comes to heat

While chasing love it begins to reach for freedom for peace

Lovers fear to keep the perfect love near

Love fears and disappointments makes love tear

While protecting love to keep it near

Love evaporates and makes your heart tear

While we find the perfect love

More we concern More we do fear

Our fears not to lose precious ones

Become our devils who plants inside the weeds of doubts

Love makes us suffer as we make love suffer

And perfect love story ends with regrets and tears.

Mercy, my lady! One thing I ask you,

‘Mercy, my lady! One thing I ask you,
As God may bless you, answer me fairly:
When you are dead, and I – for it’s true
After you there can be no life for me –
What of Love, without our company?
For there’s such wisdom and worth in you
And I love so: after us, He’ll not be.’

‘Before God, Thibaut, I judge it true
No one’s death ever killed Love. I see
You mean perhaps to mock me too,
Since you don’t seem wasted much to me.
When we’re dead (Long may our lives be!)
I’m sure Love will suffer a pang or two,
But Love’s worth holds for eternity.’

‘Lady, you mustn’t merely imagine
But know in your heart I love you deeply.
That is why I have put on flesh again,
This joy makes me love myself more dearly:
For God never made a creature so lovely
As you, but it makes me fear that when
We die it will end all Love completely.’

‘Thibaut, silence! No one should begin
A discussion developed so foolishly.
It’s only your means of softening
My heart, when you’ve already beguiled me.
I don’t say I hate you, certainly,
But if Love’s fate’s left for me to sing,
He would still be served honourably.’

‘Lady God grant that you judge aright
And see the ills that you make me suffer:
Since I well know, that if die I might,
Whatever the judgement Love will wither,
If you, Lady, don’t keep him together,
In the place he has always occupied:
To your wisdom aspires no other.’

‘Thibaut, if Love is making you suffer,
For me, don’t regret it, if I love ever,
Mine is a heart that will fail you never.’

Fears of a teenage mafioso

Fear of love,
Fear of pain,
Fear of the unforgiving cane,
Fear of lies,
Fear of sighs,
Fear of those distraught eyes,
Fear for the unknown,
Fear for the known,
Fear of everything combined,
Fear is what makes me blind,
Fear is what makes me think,
and act in blind accordance,
Hindering the world around me,
Hence, My Fear of myself
Fear is when you run away,
Fear is when you’re scared to love someone,
Fear is when the sky turns grey,
Fear of confusion,
Fear is like a dark blue ocean,
Fear won’t let me escape
Fear mocks me, watching
Fear taunts me, waiting
Fear of losing,
Fear you cannot see,
Fear dealt upon thee.
Fear of darkness and death,
Fear of a dead comrade,
Fear of a gun being cocked,
Fear of being endlessly stalked,
Fear of time,
Fear of all the crime,
Fear of the undesirable truth,
Fear for the good.
Fear for the sake of life,
Fear of the neighbors next door,
Fear of the secretive man in the subway,
Fear of the revolutionary uproar,
Fear is to not rejoice your living,
Fear for the sake of your life,
But to fear is to forsake it.
Fear is to have no hope in life,
Fear of the fear of fear,
We need no reason to fear,
For fear has no reason for itself.
I guess life is just like that,
To fear for no reason,
For to fear is not to reason,
But to reason is to fear.
To fear for the sake of fear,
Is fear for fear,
So let me think,
What else do I fear?
What else do I fear?
What else do I fear?

A Roller Coaster Ride

Walk down to the streets of hell
A man so insane, and a story to tell

Call him bipolar or mentally insane
Why is it me to suffer the pain?

I've climbed the walls of insanity
And ridden the waves of despair
There is none to comfort and none to care...

I've locked up inside me how badly that bodes
Now I am just scared that one day I'll explode...

He's made my life so miserable, a rollar coaster ride
I feel scared of my existence and emotions that I hide...

Home seems like a prison, miles far away
Seven seas across I kneel and pray

Oh God! Please help me and ease my pain
And wash away the ills with rain

Help me raise my little boy with strength that I can adhere
Make my wishes and dreams come true and take away my fear

The fight

Even you think that life
Apparently has no sense
Each life has a sense
Do you need to know
What am I doing with my life?
I pray, my love,
For the coming moments
Of truth.

Do not destroy your hopes and dreams
Don't let your memories
To become shadows
In hindsight.
And don't ever lose yourself
When you look back
On your life.

And let the Light to
Undertake some sort
Of war-ending mission
About life.

And don't forget
That to live means to suffer
Because the human nature
Is not perfect
And neither is the world
We need the comprehensiveness
Of our destiny
And its fatality

You must continue
To fight in the spirit
Until the end
And do not forget that I love you
And you absolutely have to be alive.

Romney & America = 2012

ELECTION = 2012 POEM

With looming worries about jobs, homes and healthcare
College debt, Afghanistan, terrorism and disease.
Americans seek clear options this November
As we pray for those we vote for on our knees.

America needs a president who relies on faith and prayer
One who can lead by example, servitude and more.
Someone who loves our freedom and our heroes of the past
Who inspires us like none we've known before.

Whoever wins the final vote
We pray they succeed and restore America's glory.
The time has come for all of us to rise up and alter
As freedom, love and commitment becomes our story.

If President George Washington was alive and well
And spoke to America of troubles we face today.
I wonder what he might faithfully suggest
And would we heed to anything he would say?
