Hello Everyone.New to Poetry but here it is.This is my first attempt at writing
something.I not sure if I call it a story,poem or a song.The first line came from a facebook friend of mine.He posted it on his wall recently and it inspired to write this.I hope you enjoy it and I want to say a big thanks to this community.I am feeling like
I am not alone in my struggles.I was failing but with your help and advice that I am getting from TU I can be and will be a good roll model for other Diabetics.Take care Bob

The Rain
The rain merges my past with my present,
Memories of my childhood fill my head
Running in fields without a fear or a care,
I wonder is this a dream or Heaven sent.
.
We learned about life from each other,
No worries what tomorrow would bring.
Carefree, fearless so alive were we,
We loved to dance, we lived ,we’d sing.

How have the years so quickly gone by,
We wanted to grow up so ,so fast,
Being with friends was such fun,
Now we want the days to just last.

People, Love came some stayed, some went,
We grew, changed for the good, for the bad.
Photos and memories are all that I keep,
Of the good life that I have had.

Now the years pass by oh too soon,
Dwelling on heartache and pain.
We forgot to cherish life as we once did,
When we would run in the rain.

Oh when will I run in the rain?
Oh when will we run in the rain?

Do not dare


The emptiness inside was as large
As the universe
At least
For
Her
She wanted to fill this
Hole
Crater of a volcano
That eager
To scream
For now
And
All


She went looking
How she can end it all
Looked for her insulin bottle
And thought
Hypo is an old friend
She can make it
The last

Got the bottle
And
The needle
Got hundred units
And her blood glucose
Was hundred
The rule of hundred is applicable
To the point

She stared at the lonely figure there
As if the world has stopped
Beating
Itself
The world had died instantly
So
She has
To follow

The scream of her daughter
Cut the silence
Of the last moment
She left the needle
And ran

The little girl cried
Mum
Are you alive?
I had a nightmare
That
You ended
Your life


They hugged each other
Till morning
The tears were mixed hot
Warmed their lonely existence
Forever
And
She
Lived

There, there, there
Somewhere there
Where there is nothing
And from nothing
Erupt
All

There you can plant meanings
New words
New feelings
And
You never can hide it
From
All

The tears will run hot
And
Cold
But they are real
Not false
The songs will be whispered
Or shouted loud
No difference
Because there,
In the land of nowhere
From nothing
I will erupt
For once
And
All
