..5.. fight for life - my sweetest love
12/09/00
fight, fight
with all your might
those angels of death and destruction
you know them all well
who come to take you away
your soul and your life -- every day, every night
fight fight! in the day and night
no NO tell them NO
get away!!!!!!! i don’t WANT you!!!!
i want to move... want to breathe
live... love... i want to be free
fight fight... oohhh don’t let them GET you
get up off your ass
up all night... go to sleep
get up NOW... fight like hell... doing, churning,
moving, feeling, living, learning,
crying outttt.... screaming
straining
who cares about flowing???
not losing any longer, always striving
breathing -- breathing life
time... freedom
no more sitting, not waiting
not HURTING
feeling so sorry, embracing the misery
why
let it go, stop crying, feeling sorry
whining, waa waaa............
life going by
rolling faster
get up -- wake up -- get up off your butt
no more sleep, no more dead
what is love
oh love is here everywhere
but who cares... just let yourself see it
feel it
no more pushing away
i want to love -- want to move
want to groove -- no more lose
let me run... got to run
got to breathe
no more relieving, no more pain
no more “feel good”
just get up, just do it
be life, breathe life
every second...... every minute
do something..... do it all
what is next? ... why wonder
what is now!
being me, being all
no more fear, no time for that
laughing, playing
loving, amusing -- grasping MY minutes
grasping MY hours
no YOU can’t have them -- pain, misery
for YOU love, friend, lover, companion
YOU have them all
they are yours, i am yours
my heart, my time
i am
doing, churning, moving, grooving,
loving, breathing
no more peace for me ever
no more past
for all time... i am moving
breathing all of life, in and out, being
free at last
with you, loving
in your arms now, forever
my sweetest love
ever
here, there, now
wherever
at long last, forever
always doing, moving, grooving,
never stopping...
........... peace at last
a strong powerful poem..
Someone once said: "You can either make your life miserable, or lovingly strong. The amount of effort is the same." So true, these words are very powerful, John. Well done.
This poem makes me want to live, even beyond the great life I live now! I sense this poem flew from the tip of your fingers as you typed it or from your pen/pencil as you wrote it. Wonderful!
John, as always very warm with feelings. Thanks for sharing it with me. It was hard reading cause you had it flowing done stop, but yet that is love.....done stop. It waits on no one. Doris
