Life Does It Have To Be Typical
Written by: Janet K. Roof
Life, it goes on no matter what; people, nervous, anxious, scared.
Never once taking the time to bask in the true realism that it is. The brilliant frailty we all take a part in. It is a gift.
Again people, multiple souls passing in time. Not so much as a smile. Why don’t they just get it together and do what is expected? Smile at the stranger petrified of conflict. Give charity to those who don’t need it; set the example.
Again people, who are constantly in a hurry to destroy what they do not understand. Forsaking all that is required to keep afloat in the universe. Consider that all, which is around us, larger then we know.
In the end we all judge our own lives. Take the journey; strive to be an asset to life. Smile easy, be patient. It is all we have.
Bubbling just beneath the skin,
Its mean, untamable, inevitable force
Clear a path as it takes its course
Mayhem slaughter destruction and so
Run for shelter, it's about to blow.
Immeasurable darkness revealing your fate
Bloodlust growing, adorning the slate
No sympathy, it's ignoring your please
Salivating furiously as you fall to you knees
Showing no pity the pounding begins
Cashing in pounds of your flesh, for your sins.
Nibbling green leaves
Basking warm rays of sunlight
Cool refreshing suckling stream
Carefree and unaware
Impulsive aloof and unseen
Barreling thunder
Reporting coexistence
Majestic innocence
Slain in Vain
Mounted in repute
Denomination wasteful
Plethoric Stomach.
As TIme As Time Goes By
I count the days
I count the years
As time goes by
I count the tears
I watch the clock
As time ticks on
And count the days
That you’ve been gone
I miss you so
And here is why
I dread to hear that last good bye
Soon you’ll be back
No need to cry
I love how fast
Time goes by
What Else Can I Do
Sitting in a darkened room and my head is hanging low.
Can hear the tears roll from my cheek as they splash upon the pillow.
Awaiting your arrival as the clock is striking twelve.
I know that I won’t see you cause your out they’re by yourself.
Dreaming of the day you’ll feel, as deep in love as I.
Hoping for the day to come when I don’t have to cry.
I’ll always be here for you, just for you and not for me.
I’ll be waiting here all by myself from now until eternity.
I’m not a selfish person, what I do , I do for you!
But I’m always here alone, what else can I do.
Our Love Could Never Be
Ever time I close my eyes it’s your picture that I see.
The life we had together meant so much to you and me.
My eyes fill up with tears and my gut ties into knots.
My hearts starts pounding faster as the time clicks on the clock.
Not knowing what your doing and not knowing where you’ve been,
It’s a struggle that I live with keeping everything within.
I know that we could never be together once again.
The saddest part about it we aren’t even friends.
We have a bond that ties us until eternity.
I get so sad just thinking that our love could never be.
Endless Nights Without You
The nights seem long and endless since you left me behind.
The knots inside my stomach seem to never get untied.
I dream of when you will return.
The years will have passed us by.
I hope I still know who you are.
I hope you’ll still be mine.
I wish that you had never left.
To me you were always best.
Now I look back and see you were always the one for me.
I treated you so bad for years.
I wish you were here to dry my tears.
Life can never be the same and I’m the only one to blame.
Great and Small
Written by: Janet K. Roof
Sun riddled bark
Shadowing darkened crevasses
Life is coarse, infrequent and true
Faceless bodies ambling along
Destinations, inferior to the masses
Unaware of the influential partaking
Permitting all existence
Over looked and under appreciated
Domination
Writen by Janet K. Roof
I hate to interrupt your plans.
I hate to spoil your day.
I hate to hear you yell at me.
And have it all your way.
I hate the dirty looks you give whenever your plans go wrong.
I hate when you ignore me.
Oh god, it seems so long.
I whish you’d give me all your time.
I wish you’d see me through.
I wish you understood.
Just how much I love you.
The kind of pure heart and pure soul
Caring, sharing, supporting, defending
All for love and unselfish discharge
I wonder what its like to know true love
The kind of pure heart and pure soul
Adoring, fulfilling, accepting, respecting
All for completeness and the need to feel whole
I know what it's like to be all alone
With no one to love and be friends
Ignoring, rejecting, confining, reflecting
On promises broken and dreams with no end
I know what it's like to put it all out
And receive nothing back in return
To give of myself until nothing is left
But self loathing, uncertainty and little concern
I wonder and question, what it's all about
Will I ever be happy and not filled with doubt?
Are people that angry and so self absorbed
They use others and tally their actions rewards
If my life is not mine and my work is for them
Why is it I can't find true love or a friend?
Does everyone only take care of themselves?
Is hunger and sadness destined to stay off of the shelf?
Will the world ever see all the good it can be?
Or will it slowly be taken back by the sea
I would gladly give all, my life, and fall to my knees
If it meant that the human race would be seized
For the earth to take itself back
For the sun and the trees
For the little green bugs
For the giants in seas
For the cold and the clouds
For the birds and the fleas
I would gladly give all of myself
But only it if would please
Santa brings toys
For good girls and good boys
But let's not forget the war in Iraq
Or the hoes on the corner
Trading favors for crack
There are mourners in grief
Babes cry in the streets
No food in their bellies
Or shoes on their feet
Tiny Tim's little crutch
A gift from his dad
For playing with paint
And making him mad
Mom is three sheets to the wind
Let the beatings begin
How could this day, be so filled with sin
Our lives are within the walls of our home
And agony comes in spurts and it's gone
Where is the voice for those with no choice
Those are lost in an instant, because of pro-choice
But it's Christmas Eve, a time of joy
Soldiers wait fearful to be deployed
To the battle fought in the streets for our lives
When Santa brings presents, I bet he cries
I could be fucking driving to a fun place.
I could be fucking working.
I could be fucking writing another chapter in my book.
I could be fucking smoking a fattie right now.
I could be fucking baking cookies.
I could be fucking shopping.
I could be fucking happy as a pig in shit.
I could be fucking beating the living crap out of someone.
I could be fucking painting a christmas house.
I could be fucking updating my website.
I could be fucking doing my hair and putting on makeup.
I could be fucking washing my dog.
I could be fucking feeding the ducks.
I could be fucking drinking till i pass out.
I could be fucking doing bong hits.
I could be fucking watching you while you sleep.
I could be fucking cutting the break lines to your car.
I could be fucking eating a big bowl of ice cream.
I could be fucking .....
But I'm not.
Because I Love You
Writen by Janet K. Roof
I tell you things I’ve said before
For fear you’ll walk right out my door
I yearn for you to hold me near
And take away my every fear
You make me feel so good inside
With you I’ll have nothing to hide
I feel so safe when you are near
I’ll never have another fear.
And if our paths should ever part
I’ll search for you straight from my heart
I’ll track you down and when I do
You’ll always know that I love you
wind blowing wrappers and leaves
promoting decay
My Love
Amid sweat and tears
Purging all doubt and fear
Pleasure of erotic expression
Neutralize all depression
When all the year you moan and whine
Working day through night on end
Making time for just your friends
Kind when you need food to eat
Or me to rub your stinky feet
There's thank you grins on laundry day
But not if there are bills to pay
No dinner wine, no fine champagne
Just move your head, I'm watching the game
Anniversary, never heard of that
It's no wonder why I got so fat
So don't treat me like your valentine
When now your forced to find the time
I Love Valentines Day
What can I say
It's happy and cheerful
Twice as any other day
There's kissing and Chocolates
Closeness and cards
Ribbons on roses
Miles beyond yards
There's dining so fine
A waltz after wine
And some if their lucky
Will bump, bounce and grind
I love Valentines Day
What can I say
Forcing attention
Twice as any other day
What I Crave
Feeling sad and lonely with nothing else to do.
My heart starts pounding fast when I think of you.
It seems you’re far away at times; how I wish that you were here.
But all you want to do is sit and drink your beer.
You hang out with your friends just like I wasn’t there.
I kiss was all I wanted, but you didn’t even care.
I wanted you alone, with me all by myself.
You tell me that you love me and then you place me on a shelf.
