Damaged goods, is that what I am?Has society sent me on the lam? I try each day, a better person to be.Not allowing all the world to see. The hurt, the pain that I feel inside.Hiding tears that are often cried. Each day a smile I try to place.Upon an others heart and face. Does that make me a bad person?Others pain I try not to worsen. Sending good thoughts to everyone.Hugs and cuddles, leaving out no one. Happy go luck i...

Standing, thinking upon my porch. Came to me, an epiphany of sorts. Answer to a question identified.Something finally I recognized. Asked far too often over many years.Recognition, brings my eyes to tears. Haunting things from my past.Always feeling like an outcast. Hollering out loud; I have found the clue. What are the tools needed to deal with you? Heart beating fast, breaths laboured, hmmm. Asking myself; where did th...

Once I thought that the Sun never again would shine upon my skin. Those warm rays that made me thrive with steady beat. For my days were dark, so cold and sad. The Moon would cradle my tears as they endlessly flowed. Tears that I kept hidden, only the beautiful Moon knew of my pain. This morning I see the Sun, I feel it's warmth within my heart. Today is mine to share with you, this day is ours. The Moon is joyous, as we...

You have come into my life like a breath of fresh airWherever I am, no matter what I am doing You make me smile. As I awaken each morning  there is a smile on my face reminiscing of dreams filled  with you….. Sweet thoughts of you fill my day knowing that I will soon hear or read those sweet words you fill my heart with. I see your name appear and it makes me smile. I wonder could he be this happy and smilingconstantly as...

Because of you, in so many ways —  I am stronger...I am better.No longer am I weak and tethered;  Your acquaintance released my fetter.~ Your quick wit makes me laugh; ...I am happier. Your unfailing support bolsters me; ...I am more confident. Your gentle advice nudges me; ...I am more productive. Your unerring perception enlightens me; ...I am healthier. Your faithful friendship empowers me; ...I am more trusting. Your...

Looking into the morning skiesNo clouds there to grace my eyes Still air filled with a deep chillBirds singing fractures the still Darkness breaking into lightClear blue heavens a delight Around the edges atop the hillPinkish shades begin to mill Sun will soon rise beginning to heat Frosty ground promptly it will defeat First rays touching tree tops of gold Robin sits feathers fluffed and bold Another beautiful clear spri...

Each day one awakes to a new beginning they can greet with a smile or a frown.The choice belongs to us no one else, make a wish set your thoughts spinning. Search, the good it is there for the taking.Place a smile on your face not a scowl.Embrace today, you may have no more,Shout I am here, this is me, no mistaking. Lightening the load gives freedom to move.Drop that baggage, leave pasts behind.Stretch, open up, relax, lo...

If ever was never To be forever How would it be To know such things Happened for real And the dilemma Born out of the fear If ever was never To be forever............. Never a negative Against the positive Standing in the path Succumbing to be: If ever was never To be forever............. If ever was never To be forever I would fight every inch in me To see that ever was forever And never dismissed forever to be.

Shadows Constantly all around,Some stark, some subtle. Forms upon the ground. Shadows are ever present.Persistent never vanished.Darkness they too accent. Lurking for you to view,Images imagined or real.Depends how you construe. Before your eyes rearranging,Like the only constant in life.Continually always changing. Never leaving by yourself,Beside, in front, or behind.Traveling with you like an elf. Matching stride for s...

I've been searching for years now and maybe I still havent found it (too soon too soon) but at least I worked up enough courage to hold your handIt took me 4 hours to do it but I did itand I felt the blood rush from fingers to body to heart to brain.an electric current flowing through veins sparking an interest that won't dieto the point of lacking sleep and erasing desires to get highwhere a smile's plastered on your fac...

Live  Don Abdul ©2005 ~~x~~ Life may be unfair Harsher in its judgement every passing year Loss of youth a great concern To those who hoarded that priceless gem Regret is for them You live but once So enjoy life, have fun by the tonnes For when the night comes Then aunts, uncles, dads and moms Shall wear their smiles, and their joy At memories of life’s little treasures, and lots to enjoy So you’re 55, Get off your fat bu...

TAKE FIVE The music carried me along the studio as I danced a series of steps that pushed me forward like a child who has just started to trip but is still managing to balance as a feat of perpetual forward fall movement, and as I let the music enter my body as atoms of all the different notes that made up the music I knew that this is what I was, a spirit of dance made to express my feelings without words but in the tilt...

She lit up like some sort of Christmas treeAll golden and godlike and all bright and greenAnd I wish you could have seenMy insides swim inside of meLike bullets they shot through beamsAbsorbed in the cracks and sunk into the seamsMy heart actually skipped a beatI guess, metaphorically, it was at a loss to speakAnd walking out along the beach and the sandDrinking with her and almost holding handsHappiness sometimes it can'...

Was running through the jungle, my arms in the air and singing my heart out. I had no idea what I was doing. I was just too happy. I could feel the wind dancing upon my skin and I could hear the sweet melody of spring. I could hear the birds chirping and I could hear the crickets. I had no idea where I was going, I just knew I wanted to run away and escape. I was too happy to look back. I wanted to run and scream, wanted...

Is happiness something far out of reach? Something for which we must strive. Like some far off destination, Where we hope someday to arrive. Or is happiness just a commodity? Something that can be bought, Or is happiness something we all can learn? Something that must be taught. Is our happiness in short supply? That may someday come to an end, Or is there enough to go around? That we can share it with a friend. There are...
