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.

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.

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...
