DevonJMShow poetry

All I am and all I have done is wasted, and passing as water in freefall. Better luck to you I hope you find what your hoping for.

Slogans (that never did me any good, nothing good comes of them for me, but perhaps for you they might)


Remember.. the words do not master the emotion
I know our Love through God and our Devotion

How easy slogans word themselves within that which you truly believe! No words are so true as the slogan you live ...

I see a cynic for what they are, a wounded idealist. I know the feeling.

If laughter and tears both come easily, there is no need to worry about either.

Better cornered by God than living in satan's free space.

We take life too seriously, and forget that is why it so seriously takes us.

When you EARN and do not LEARN you lost the Big L -- Love

The More beauty inside, the more you see outside.

Confidence grows love, and growth requires attention

A child who cannot tell a loss is for gain has a parent who cannot tell some gains are a loss.

So, I am alive. And that is only the first of my own minor miracles I suppose. Best wishs to all, may all of your wishs come true, and may your promises never prove false.

D.

And the song I would have playing here is this:
I will- Beatles White Album

Who knows how long I've loved you
Do you know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to--I will.

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will
I will.

A song I have dedicated to my love. Thanks for reading!

So, I am Devon. Thanks for stopping by, leave a message if you like, or if you dont like whatever you see. I may or may not respond, I am selfish like that I am afraid. Time here is time elsewhere as well, so dont time me on responses. Hmm, Dont have much else to say today. Take care!

Sometimes I just fail to capture what I know, in words. And thats one of my biggest sighs and the main reason for my many...many....tries.



You know what I am tired of? I am absolutely racked to the very center of my being with a sickness I see everywhere around me. Women. Not just women in general, not at all in general, in general I think that women are incredible and probably one of the greatest living things on earth... And thats the majority of my problem.

Women, who bend, twist, suffer, and suffer some more, and then even more! And for what? Some jerk. Its gotten to the point where I not only dont want to see it, but it disgusts me to the point I am nearly numb to their sadness, or the damage they take. I have family, they do it to themselves, I watch kids around me treating them this way... You see it so much, and see how completely incapable they are of trying to make themselves happy, or accepting that this life is all they can get? Makes me want to puke. This is one small part of why I chose all of my life, no kids, and never had regrets over it either until recently, because I couldnt bear to see my child treat or be treated in such a manner.

Ive pointed it out, they take the blame. Ive gotten involved when I knew exactly all of the details, not foolishly stepping in... and they keep on. Ive found out later, this one was beaten, this one committed suicide, this one was murdered, this one has permanent injuries, this one lost a child, this one is blind in one eye, this one had her house destroyed, this one... it goes on and on and on and on!

So for the love of god, DONT TAKE ABUSE! You could die any damned minute from something you never could imagine, WHY THE HECK double the risks, or live ANYTHING other than as happily as you possibly could?! Yes, today is a day markedly one of disgust for me. A rarity for me, a life to others. Dont like what I have to say? ok. Thanks.



"How A Child Learns"

Thus a child learns, by wiggling skills through his fingers and his toes, into himself. By soaking up habits and attitudes of those around him, by pushing and pulling his own world. Thus a child learns, more through trial than error, more through pleasure than pain, more through experience than suggestion and telling, and more through suggestion than direction. And thus a child learns through affection, through love, through patience, through understanding, through belonging, through doing and through being. Day by day the child comes to know a little bit of what you know, a little bit more of what you think and understand. That which you dream and believe are in truth what is becoming that child. As you perceive dully or clearly, as you think fuzzily or sharply, as you believe foolishly, or wisely, as you dream drably or Goldenly, as you bear false witness or tell the truth, thus a child learns.

Frederick Moffett of the Bureau of Instructional Supervision, New York Department of Education.

Lest we forget...






While I may sometimes think I am glimpsing into a world of subtle and mysterious magic that so few see...

Im just joining that group, those that see all the time,
beauty in mundane and love all around. And by doing so..

You will just have to forgive me, Im just a little bit

Crazy

Crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
Im crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue

I knew
Youd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday
Youd leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondrin
What in the world did I do

Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
Im crazy for tryin
Crazy for cryin
And Im crazy
For lovin you

Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
Im crazy for tryin
Crazy for cryin
And Im crazy
For lovin you

As written By Willie Nelson, and OWNED by
Patsy Cline-

Yeah thats me, Im just another you call crazy.



*Although I may have missed my opportunity or may never have it again... to love someone and have it live and breathe as my own life remains. I must pass on what little I have learned. Honesty. Fidelity. Growing. Acceptance coupled with willingness. These are more important than the physical world around you and of you. And also, dont feel you must know everything, the past is the past, be in the now that they have decided to be with you. A good clue to how it can be otherwise- watch "Closer" if your young, and havent begun questioning in that way yet. It may give you a bit of honest outcome portrayal. Best of luck, perhaps one sliver of this will be in your memory when your trial comes to pass, and you will not fail as so many others have.*

Oh, and he scribbles sometimes as well.

Stirb nicht vor mir

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly [video version]
Probably [CD version]

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to Lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Possibly

Ya, thats a song for me. For sure

So yes, I like songs, who can not when they love poetry so much too eh?

  • myrataal : I am sorry Devon Yahoo seems to be a mess ... on April 24
    and I am a dumb blond when it comes to technical things. It seems to have a connection disablement as soon as I log in. Weird, eh? I guess the internet is not Myra friendly. And some other gremlins also not.
    Please take care.
    Love.
