LIKE TWO DOOMED SHIPS


Like Two Doomed Ships 

Like two doomed ships that pass in a nasty storm 
We had crossed each other's way : 
I’m strong with no hope at all but a  look, on a familiar face 
With so much heartaches . 
We made no sign of love but hate in hast of this storm  
That came so strong who could have known it was going to be strong ! 
In a crowded room, in an empty place you looked at me and I looked 
Back at you with a look of confused of what we must do . 
I’m a sinner without, a prayer you are the storm and I am the rain 
I am running without a game to play . 
I am running fast, but getting nowhere you see you are looking at me . 
I’m before, I’m after you, 
My life can get so cold , you wouldn't want to hold. 
Your watching me, I am watching you , 
We made no sign of a kind word Of a me and you , 
For we did not meet in the holy name , 
But in a storm of much pain with lot's of rain . 
I am not lame, cause I know I was made to love . 
I’m the one with the most cut's look at both of us , 
You are the least on my mind without hope who will wine this fight ! 
I’m praying for this storm to end and our hearts to mend . 
I'm falling behind asking Jehovah God to step on board and take the wheel 
To stop this nasty storm that we both gave in a heat wave . 
Then Love came to save our day in a loving way .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 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
