A Smile

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile;

Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

I am always alone

I understand what true pain is

Waking up without soul

Existing forever but always alone.

I know where sorrow is born

In icy depths of mans empty heart

His spirit of Love to tear apart.

I see misery in every face

Knowing no mercy, no joy, no peace.

Only death can bring them ease.

I hear Loathing in every word.

Every breath a burning pain;

Lies, deceit, and wraths distain.

I feel hate inside mankind

Rotting, filth, disease, decay;

In their defense nothing to say.

I taste the rotting flesh of sin

Toxit putrescence, bitter and vile;

Evil by nature, the mind of a child.

I am the truth in all that you feel.

My humanity is stolen, compassion is gone;

I am that which you know is wrong.

I am misery and darkness complete.

Knowing no other than that of my soul;

Destined for solitude ,I am always alone.

G.W. Mainhood

Do you love someone?

If you love someone because you think that he or she is really gorgeous Then it’s not love, it’s…….“Infatuation”

If you love someone because you think that you shouldn’t leave him because others think you shouldn’t Then it’s not love, it’s …..“Compromise”

If you love someone because you think that you cannot live without his touch

Then it’s not love, it’s…….. “Lust.

If you love someone because you have been kissed by him Then it’s not love, it’s……. “Inferiority complex”

If you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feeling Then it’s not love, it’s……. “Friendship”

But if you feel the pain of the other more than him even when he is stable and you cry for him That’s………… “Love”

If you get attracted to other people but stay with him without any regret

That’s ………………….“Love”.

If you let him go knowing that he has to go but he doesn’t want to

That’s………………….. “Love”.

Key To My Heart

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in,
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again.

I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could,
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good.

Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find.

That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was the key to my heart...
You had it all along.

Alone on a Summer's Day

Alone on a summer’s day
Sitting on the ocean’s shore
wish I would just drift away
Since you closed your heart’s door

I sit and watch the crashing waves
And the sand be beaten down
From the pain I have endured
I feel like I want to drown

Only you could do this to me
Make my world a metaphor
Sad as the hopelessness of sea
Never knowing what’s in store

The sea though beautiful it is
Reminds me only of you
Because no one really knows
What lies beneath the blue

What thoughts went through your mind
Causing you to up and leave?
What emotions crossed love’s path
Causing you to make me grieve?

Did I ever do you wrong?
Did I ever cause you pain?
Did I ever set the sun
And cause the skies to rain?

Everything, I thought, was right
Perfect as an angel’s heart
I saw the clearest of a night
Until you decided to depart

 
Now I can only sit and wonder
Where did our love lose its way
I sit and watch the crashing waves
Alone on a summer’s day...
