My Story Be Told

My Story Be Told

            "My Story Be Told" (Page #1)

I
tell my story for the world to hear,

Neither
rhyme nor reason just to make myself clear.

Life
full of consequences,

Due
to situations and bad times.

Some
pages may be obscured,

And
others with crossed out lines.

As
I stepped into this world,

Leaving
what ifs, behind.

I
began life on this journey,

Not
knowing what I’d find.

so

i gave myself a lecture,

Depending
solely on my game.

If
all fell through tomorrow,

I
would have no one else to blame.

So
I set and talked with my maker,

As
we decided on my plan.

The
tribulations of my tomorrows,

I
can expect to count, on both hands..

He
starred at me and I at he,

As
he measured my every move.

This
life you gave, i'll live to the fullest,

And
to you only have I to prove.

You
shook my hand, you led out this man,

And
my quest had just began.

As
I stepped outside,

This
heat not to be denied.

My

best be completed, rain or shine.

No
time shall I mar, thumbs up so far,

No
sounds to be heard but mine.

I
walked till dark, had to make my mark,

As
distance and near starts to collide.

Time
not be of waste, as a tralup in haste,

Allowing
nothing, to triumph my pride.

This
venture was a must, to win are bust,

Never
to go, without a clean fight.

Now
at the end of this road, my story be told,

And
failure remains out of sight.......To be continued

                     Jim

Hey Kiesha,

Way to go with the community project, that is a big task to tackle and for one brave person to handle, i really commend you,(whole heartedly) but then, that is where it starts, (one person), willing to make a difference, in their (large) community but  not only will you be making a difference there and at that particular moment, yours will be one made, in the lives of all those in need, to come even afterwards and i bet you will succeed with this unselfish endeavor....I am headed towards your dream at this time, thanks for the offer to read it..

Kindest Regards,

Jim

Jimmy,

I really enjoyed this piece of writing. It spoke a powerful
message all the way through. My favorite lines were:
"

So
I set and talked with my maker,
As
we decided on my plan.
The
tribulations of my tomorrows,
I
can expect to count, on both hands..
He
starred at me and I at he,
As
he measured my every move.
This
life you gave, i'll live to the fullest,
And
to you only have I to prove."

Love that you 'look to a higher power'. I also like your
'writing style' here; unique and appealing. Thinking about
trying it. Great write!

 and breathes 

Dance 
to poetry 
dare to
dream 
and sleep, 
to the orchestra 
of words
 and Life

as trees 
       GROW
in dark, 
poetry brings
to light

soul &

The test 
for us 
Within us 
is 
To 
Let go 

The eternal spirit 

Thou Shalt Know

Hey Jai,
My friend, you have many Haiku's in this one..Nature,.Personal experience,and laughter.Very unique poem and very hard to emulate by many. You (juxtaposed)this one well going from a simple view of your subject matter to an expansive view...The manner in which you have tied all of them together and still depict it as one conglamatorial poem, is awesome. I really like your (subject shifts), in this one,(are shall i say this many in one),done quite fluently and quite astonishing.....

Great piece of work,
Jim

Dear Jimmy,I am really moved by this emotional side of yours. I love the way said "  I tell my story for the world to hear,Neither rhyme nor reason just to make myself clear".Some pages may be obscured,And others with crossed out lines.AsI stepped into this world, Leaving what ifs, behind

....These lines speaks  about the depth in your thought towards the life .Not only me I think most of us have sufferings in our own way,as no one is exempted from it.It's part and parcel of this big game.I thoroughly enjoyed your genius verses  poured out so effortlessly.My big round of  applause for you.I am inspired by your writing Jimmy. You are magnificent in the  field of writing.Looking forward to read more of your work slowly absorbing the wisdom flown out in this cosmos like a sponge.

Cheers.

Hello Piusha,

Such kind words from such a gentle and kind hearted person and i thank you dearly,Piusha..Just as you stated the ways of the world can be cruel sometimes and to echo your sentiments, no one person can be, are is exempt, from it's cruel and torrential, (at times) aftermath but all we can do, to equal the odds, is attempt to make due, with what we have in our basket, to work with and hope the best, bleeds from our efforts, that we have placed forward, in our quest for perfection or just to live, without distractions, in  a normally,(God) given life....Thank you once again and your words are always ones of flatter and fulfillment.....

Kindest of all regards,

Sincerely Jimmy

Dear Jimmy,

I am enjoying reading your work, this one drew me in as I too have written a poem of the same title, not in the same league as yours! Hence why I haven't uploaded it, this is perfect, I love how it tells a story and I can feel your strength of character.thank you for adding me as a friend I am honoured.

Dear All,

I relate this tribute poem with this " MyStory to be told "

Sir Jim Arnold is page from my Life Book

His Alphabets were heart broken

Left leg of “A ” is missing;

Still this is for you dear

To My Beloved Brother,

Jim Arnold Jim
I love you; I trust you; I embrace you;

 How do I have to express

How much I love you;

I might make self-conscious to you

 From time to time

By giving lots of love and embrace,

Words were sentenced for a

 Life-long imprisonment;

But you need to know Brother

I  love you so much

Before you were born I didn't know

Just how much I would love you so,

But when I heard from your tongue

 for the first time, calling me

Dear Brother,

I felt my heart grow and glow;

My Life Pages became dry and dark

A Brother's love is hard to explain,

Not everyone will feel the same.

My unfilled pen trembled to write

Just how much I love you,

Time may pass day after day

or year after year,

My Signature unidentified

But the love I have for you grows

nearer and dearer to my heart;

 Each day and year.

To My dear Brother,

I hope you know

 Just how much I love you so.

MY Cover page is torn-out

My last page of my book ends:

Lovingly your own Brother…

Sir Williamsji,

You are a gentleman and a scholar and this poem you placed was a (doozy), your talent is beyond approach and in the manner, in which you pull all of them from your hat of magic, is amazing, just as this one and at the present time, i will just respond with (DITTO) to the very same sentiments but will follow up with a attribute of you and to you, my dear brother and friend, very shortly...

Sincerely,

Your (God) brother Jim Arnold
