SWINGING VINES


swinging vines 
I see this life swinging vine
Swing into my heart across the line of visions
In my faces flashing signs of true love
Seek it out and one day I shall find
true love I had once known 
I was young yet I'm getting older 
but not Old just yet but I'm older and wiser 
I don't think the world knows the life they have been 
sleeping in with the coldness that lies within 
I feel something so right yet so wrong 
standing so strong I just keep holding on
I feel something so wrong standing behind me 
But by me keeping my mind on doing the right thing
I can find the light that shines so bright 
everything that kills me makes me feel alive
I lye in my bed looking out my bedroom window 
counting stars thinking about how far you are
I feel your love for me tonight 
I feel it burn deep within my soul 
oh I will never let you go 
Hope is a four letter word
but so is Love
Watch it burn deep within the stars of heaven 
shining down on me 
I'm just doing what I know was told for me to never 
give into the dark, But I'm feel something is so wrong
standing behind me
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
hold onto me true love for life 
help me win this fight

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
