The Twig

Poem for parents 
By Neil Schwab 

A Grey oak tree stands tall. Its truck big, thick and brawny.

Atop its foliage, a branch sits and sways.. It gathers strength and stirs a spell each day.

Just now the tree proudly spouts a shoot. The shoot transforms slowly, a twig emerges on its side. 

Still. Silent, the twig it grows, turns into the light of the day.. gathering s...

Love...
Through twist and turns 
Through growth and withering
Through rain and snow and blistering heat

You...
The only one I can find while I’m alone
The only one that can touch my toes and cure my woes
The only one that removed my chains and softened my soul without a touch

To my bones
You shatter my swiss cheese body and rebuild me whole.  
You look into my heart while your eyes p...

You think you are free, you don’t see properly.
You think you are so smart but your without glasses
You’ve been stuck in the muck. You dumb fuck.
Serves you so, it’s no wonder why. You are always ready to go.  

You think you are strong, I see weak, hiding behind the mask and  lies you reek.
scared of your own needs, like minnows in the weeds looking for some feed.
Why be so. Why not grow a...

Such a shame.

I met you, I was not broken, just happy.

I was so good to you.

I think I’ve never found a person i like you before.
Someone that I cld hang onto or thought Id want too.

Someone that cld handle life like the way I can when were open and together thats where love grew.

Oh how I miss it. It Hurts this pain.This regret is such an evil feeling it Sticks to me as I be fle...

The Beautiful Shipwreck

Instantly my imagination ignites, pouring wonder into my soul, youth to all my senses.

Brilliantly brandishing and boasting an astonishing circle of life and color like I could never imagine; this too a place where there was often nothing before.

Naturally showing off all the beauty nature has adored.

Best of all, my eyes and heart can't help but dance with the ...

My Love .

I Love You

Did you love me?

Could this have been so heavenly.

My Love

Love is conjured between us two.

Love is not what you had intended to do.

Love mirrored to me so perfectly, I didnt see it was really me?

Love, then I did love a ghost.

My Love.

I love you the very most.

It seems so unfair, our love like we had.

All the best ...

My Lies, Our Love, from a Ghost

Dedicated to Jennifer Mikelait - my life's heartbreak

My Love. A Ghost.

Crushed. Confused. Abandoned.

Hurt by a hand I held so tight.

Love, this apparition conjured.

Tainted love a poisoned soul, it withered and died inside.

The fatal flaw I didn't see, when I saw you and you saw me.

Love once, then gone the next, sold my soul to he...

My unconditional love has been traded 

Lies told to be excluded 

Something changed, it was not me .. it's like you've turned sour and now I live to cower

Even today , when we are apart I know I am still in your heart. As I walk down the street I feel your heart beat.
 

Even if that was all we were , I'm very great full for your words.
 

That saddest thing I must say. 
 

We we'...

You held me so thought, as I cried like a baby on your chest.
more than I've ever had before or more typhoon I would have guessed.
Turned fearful and scared for a moments thought,
if I lost you know how would I survive.

My dreams had come true, it was what was found by us, in you.

I asked, I must have.
Your answer I no like, raged It did take flight
Confidence between lovers broken, tho...

The night love came before

It was like no other the night we meet
My eyes meet your soul and love came out of nowhere into sight.

Efforts redundant, purposeful actions automatically lift the vail.
Acceptance; offered, promised, unconditionally love was made.

That night love made love .. Perfect for us.

Emotions populate abundantly and swarming in our midst.
Passionate embrace, kissi...

My heaven on earth

Part 1 . Earth

A man once stood at the gates of his lady. 
He is ashamed, tragic state he was. 
The world laid visions in his head, they solely sang songs of distant disaster since he cld remember. 

The lady had not come to greet this man whilst standing there in the sleet.
The man, he did know, he was at toe with his generals inside, his deamons named pride, shamefu...
