The Poetic Voyage - Poetry Of Life's Journey

Seated in a corner, Looking out the dormer, Exploring my mind, Wondering what I will find. At this quiet moment, Watching all movements, Sinking deep down to a thought, Thinking of what I was taught. Sounds like a boring lecture, That was not the actual texture, I sank deep down, To this past frown. Wondering who taught, The lesson of life so broad, Which made me drown, At the thought of that frown. There was no physical teacher, Who made me figure it out, But there was one teacher, I give her the name time. Who shouted out loud, To the quiet wandering mind, And one thing she reminds, Frowns in this uncertain life, Matter only for a while. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

I've come to the end, of a long week, I could not help, but think of sleep, Feeling so tired, fed-up and weak, I wondered what happened to my to do dreams. I added a lot to my to do list, I'll be stuck if I choose to sleep, My eyes begged and chose to weep, "We need sleep, we need sleep". I told them both about my dreams, They laughed and asked, "How will you see?", I told them both "I've got you guys", They told me that they might die. I told them both its not time to sleep, They asked me, "When can we sleep?", I said, "At night when I am home", They said, "Oh, we know you more". They were right there was no time, I had more chores to do at night, To play my games, to browse the feed, To watch more movies, to ditch my sleep, Those for sure I will never leave. I had no choice but to lie, "I'll make sure you get sleep on time", They replied, "You better treat us...

Living in this world so strange, Birth and Death is the only range, It's never the same for you and me, It's bound to change, can you see? Laying on this ground so hard, Heaven or hell? we have to start, It can be the same for you and me, Heaven is better, can you see? Staring up at the mountain tops, Looking down to the oceans deep, Where ever we are, we might weep, The choice is hard, can you see? Looking at the busy crowd, My eyes ran I couldn't stop, Wondering if they will ever stop, They don't see us, can you see? Crying loud on the noisy street, Hoping at least mom would feel, Holding your hand my lovely twin, We will live if it's God's will, Please don't blame the busy crowd, Even mom left us, didn't you see? -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Swimming in a pool, Of empty thoughts, Wondering where, She lost all thoughts. Heading closer, To the victory point, Swimming back, In the pool called mind. Quarrels between, Her heart and mind, Rising high to reach the sky, Leaving aside the victory point. Shrinking in her empty thoughts, Mourning with a pointless cry, Thinking how it should have gone, Wondering if she was going to die. Leading all the fun astray, She chooses to stay, And haunt the house, Forgetting about the victory mark. A voice she heard, Called her out, Told her this, You can't give up. Turn away from your nagging mind, Look around there's positive vibes. Think about the road you drove, Keep in mind the seas you swam. Don't forget the insults and cries, Fly to all the joys you find, Don't give in to this messy mind, Come arise let's get over this hike. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

There's one thing, I hate to say, I don't want to say, And I'm not going to say. There's one thing, That bother my mind, I can't figure out, Why do you cross my mind? I never touched you, But I have loved you, I said I don't like you, But that's not true. Weird it is, Even I never knew, I thought it was hate, But I think it is fear, up to date. Strange you are, You figured it out, You stayed away, But always cared. There came a time, When there was no fear, When you were around, There came a time, When you left a tear, With my mother's call, I hate to say, What she had to say, That "Jenny is dead". -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Days gone by, Are like jets that fly, Memories stored in, Are like movies we played in. Have we ever thought then, What we think now, Have we ever thought life, Was turning around. I loved you when, You never noticed me, I pleaded then, You never spared me. You yelled at me, When I cried, I said I'll stop, And I really tried. Life went on, I couldn't stop crying, But I continued trying, I wish you knew that time was flying. I see you now, Kicked out of your house, Lying on the wet streets, Where I used to be. It's not your fault, My dearest son, It was mine, That your son carries now. Examples we showed, The results we got, I wish I could, Have saved us all. I'm sorry my son, I shout out loud, With regrets in my heart, I realize what I've done, But I can't help you now, Cause I'm long gone. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Oh, hi guys, We are slaves now, Didn't you know? Well, how come? We're slaves yes, They've over taken us, We've had our times, And now it's gone. Well who guys, Who did this to us? C'mon guys, Just don't make a fuss. It's well known, There's nothing new, We bend our heads, And obey them, haven't you? A slave you are, A slave I am, Don't wanna be one? We can but damn. They've snatched our homes, Where shall we go, Our minds are blocked, With a giant padlock. Our hobbies all stolen, Creativity shot dead, Emotions left open, Just left to be stolen. That's alright though, The trend is so, The world cares for us, Even though we don't. We tell them all, They tell us all, There's no big fuss, Just sit down and hush. There’re no more real friends, But thousands of reel friends, Yeah, don't you know, Life’s a drama now. We don't have to show examples, Those were all fake samples, We don't...

Like a diamond, Hidden in the black rocks, Hides the talent, In a man made dumb. Like a pearl, Hidden in an Oyster, Formed by dust, Is the human life, Just let to rust. Like a fire place, In a cold winter evening lit in a house, Is the burning love, In the human heart. Like a wild fire, That burns the woods, Is the hunger, Of a man who is let to starve. Can we own a Diamond, If we never cracked the rocks, Can we own a pearl, If not for the useless dust. Can there be fire in winter, If it's not lit up, Why should we blow the wild fire, If we never cared about the woods. Where are we heading, No body knows, What shall we do, No body cares, Can we make a way out, Will we ever find the hidden us. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Seated at my window, On a sunny Sunday, Bothering how, I'll survive the next day. The day flew by with nothing to say, No memories gathered for the day, With loads of worries blocking my way, There was nothing I did to live for today. The night flew by with regrets so great, Thoughts flew in the whole night so gray, Excitements of Friday has vanished away, Expectations of Friday was thrown away. I wondered how things went this way, What mattered was tomorrow and not today, This sudden thought just crossed my mind, What if I never had a tomorrow but only today. More thoughts just crossed my mind, The time I've wasted how will I find? The hills I could have climbed, When will I climb? We repeat this crime, We don't realize, We are trapped in this trap, Of tomorrow's mind. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Good day dear mates, Close your eyes for a while, Lock your mouth and smile, Lock your ears it's fine, I won't let tears overtake this ride. Get on to my jet, Tighten your belts, Get back and relax, It's true what you felt, A new journey begins. I hope you don't forget, We are boarding a jet, A quick ride along, A planet you've met, You can call her planet Debz. We've made it dear mates, Come see the whole place, It's all what I want, All wishes I grant, Only have a quick glance. This is my lovely planet, I come here all the time, I have no specific time, It's all just mine, And what's mine is mine. Alright now mates, Show me your capes, My guards need to make, A quick body check, You cannot take anything out. The door is sealed, It's not a big deal, If there's a tag, Which says it's Debz's, You'll just burn out. Trust me my mates, No one was healed, No one took it out, Unl...

I knew a heart, With loads of love, I knew a heart, With thoughts set above. Not just one heart, But many around, In a world which loves, To let them down. They continue to dream, But not asleep, They stay awake, To day dream, Nothing is done, You useless one, Is the usual crown, They carry along. Such sweet hearts, Just fade away, They choose a way, And their lives they betray. Some strong hearts, Just stay away, They chose to stay, And find their way. Which heart are you, I inquire today, Whichever you are, You are never too late. Which one are you, The world or the heart? Don't lie sweet heart, Even you are a heart. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

One secret I share today, You'll never believe, What I have to say, Waking up on a gloomy day. There was a power cut, My phone was dead, The laptop was shut, I felt so lame. Lifting up my grumpy face, Raising up my grumpy voice, Staring at the bright skies, I was looked at as if I was high. I was shocked to see, It was only me, Who felt gloomy, Everyone else were all bloomy. No body worried about the power cut, It was day time and it was fine, But look around everything’s shut, Look again, everyone's up. The day was good, We had yummy food, I wondered if we got a cook, Surprisingly it was the same old cook. We had fun with at our sweet home, That was a great time I needed more, I asked them what made them change, They told me that I was changed. The sun had to set, Power had to come, Everything changed in just a glance I felt it then, I figured it out. Power came along, With technology by her side, She shot us all, She s...

That lovely one I never see, That protective one who warns me, The hidden one I only feel, The hidden one In my heart so deep. That one true friend, Who will be there to the end, She tells me even before I tend, That surely 'It's a dead end'. She tells me when, I'm wondering when, Worried how, 'Rejoice dear friend'. I have no words, To describe all, The ups and downs, We've traveled along. I wish she know, How much she means, Even at times, She had to give in. She makes me feel like Aladdin, Like a magic lamp within my heart, She just shows up, Even before I'm touched. She's the only one I trust, Even with my eyes shut, She's no other, But the feeling from my gut. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

To us on Earth, The sun rises and set, The universe opposed, The sun is just at rest. Suspecting the universe, Earth played her game, She did not bother, Until Copernicus told us his name. Earth decided, She looks like a plate, The Universe opposed, You are supposed to rotate. Suspecting the Universe once again, She sailed the seas to find an end, Finally, she said, You are right my friend. The culture remains, Even now like then, Not only the Earth and Universe, But also, men and men. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Stressful world, Hear my cry, It's too much load, To even wonder why. Stressful world, Do you see any stress free mind, Tell me world, Tell me his kind. Stressful world, Stop for a while, Let me breathe, Before I die. Stressful world, Just leave my side, I need to be normal, I need to be mine. Stressful world, I'm stuck in amid, I only live once, But there's a lot to be done. Stressful world, Please stop this crime, Don't you see, You make time fly. Stressful world, Please tell me now, What have you done, You matter a lot. Stressful world, I don't wanna fight, I have no fright, Cause I'm right, Fight and fright, Just help you out, And let me down. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Confused I am, About me and my choice, Confused I am, I just hear her voice. I guess there's more, About what I adore, They call me crazy, Even when I am too lazy. I love her more, In every chapter she grow, She's the one who know, To make me glow. Smart she is, The best she is, Her fan I am, ENCHANTED I am. When they take off her crown, Things around turn so RED, And with tears on, I go to bed. But I must SPEAK NOW, FEARLESS and loud, She never loses her crown, It's a gift she fetched. People call me names, Which I love or hate, The best of all, Is Taylor's Tail. A Swiftie I am, I was FIFTEEN then, CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, But DON'T BLAME ME when, I just want to dance, Cause I'm TWENTY TWO now. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

There was a time, When lights were blurry, There was a time, When life was flurry. There was a time, When words pierced, A heart so gentle, Which turned fierce. There was a time, When waves were rough, That was the time, That made her tough. There was a time, When she was a drudge, Where were you then, To sit and judge? You see the time, When she is dredged, This is the time, You just judged. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

A persistent beat, From the far East, In a world so quiet, From a heart backfired. Unable to speak, Too shocked to weep, Drowned in sorrows so deep, A heart set on fire. Lifeless knees, Kissing the streets, With tear-less eyes, Beneath the bright skies. Recalling good times, Inquiring why, Wondering how, Good times just fly. Looking at her son, Dragged down to the ground, In the hot blazing sun, Hit down by a truck. She did not speak, She could not cry, But just look at her son, And ask him why, She did not get, Her final Good Bye. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Agonized, aren't we? About our tomorrow, Fussing, aren't we? About this life so hollow. Stressing, aren't we? Looking at the troubles we borrow, Hurried, aren't we? To know about our tomorrow. Ignorant, aren't we? About the pleasing today, Abolished, haven't we? The peaceful beauty of today. Solved, have we? The troubles of tomorrow, Bothered, are we? About the worry that we sorrowed. Disregarded, haven't we? God holds our tomorrow, Forgotten, haven't we? He's the mighty one so hallow. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

Things around I always see, Was admired deep down to the sea, But the one letter I didn't see, On the sheet hung, At the Optician corner did not care about my eyes. I wondered how I wondered why, My eyes gone dim in just a blink, Then I realized, the crime I've done, I've just admired the wrong one. The streets I've walked, the hills I've climbed, Was admired high up to the sky, But the one step I couldn't climb, When I felt my knees go numb, The step did not care about my knee. I wonder how I wonder why, My knees gone weak in just a flip, I realized, the crime I've done, Once again I've admired the wrong one. The forfeit I had to pay, Cannot recover my major crimes, My dearest body, my dearest skin, My dearest sight, My dearest me, Sorry for being so harsh all the time, Sorry for the unforgivable crime. Thank you for your patience, Thank you for the understanding, Thank you for your love, Thank you for the sign...
