POEMS ABOUT LIFE PART 2
WHAT WOULD IT BE?(NEW)
The sun shines bright
and the waterfall splash
Cool cool air feels so right
Half a day's gone in a flash!
What would it be?
What would it be?
You'll leave behind
what legacy? ?

APPEARANCE(NEW)
A picture says a thousand words
How you see and treat towards
another soul on appearance sake
Some can even be so fake
So try your best to take
what you see with salt
Just give someone a break
Their looks are not their fault.
Philo Yan March 23, 2013
CHOICES
The choices we make in this life,
The choices we make, true or fake,
The choices we make, wrong or right,
The choices we make, heavy or light,
What turns your life, dark or bright?
The choices we make,, we made our bed,
The choices we make,, chances fade,
The choices we make, change too late,
The choices we make, due time will tell,
The choices we make, emotional well.
The choices we make, is who we are,
The choices we make, near or far,
The choices we make, can turn cruel,
The choices we make, the question rule.

Drama Queen(New)
Are you a drama queen?
who loves to make a scene?
Every thing has been,
your beck and every whim
The man will be at loss,
to what he so far seen.but troubled though he was, he'll love her jealous green.
It never occur to him,
to sit her down one day, to talk her down, come clean, what life with her has been.
Until that day should come,
Quarrels, bitching scenes, will splatter on his brain, and leave him energy drain.
So, little drama queen,
be still and stop between, the man who loves you so, you should not let him go!
Philo Yan December 10, 2012
Drama Queen In-Law
I heard & what I saw
A cold heart hard to thaw
A drama queen in-law
cuts through like a saw
I don't get it, what for?
To spread the hurt
where should be love
spew words so curt
is there no gentle love?
I heard & that I saw.
Philo Yan December 10, 2012
LIFE'S QUESTIONS
Do you ever smile wide when you're all by yourself?
I know you do. And I'll never ask why.
Have you ever cried, knowing no one knows?
I know you have, and you'd wished someone knew why.
Have you ever day-dreamed?
I know it's fun. And it's crazy, but fantasies do really exist.
Have you ever hoped so high, and then fallen from the same height?
It's called life. It changes, but you're a wonderful phoenix.
Have you ever felt trapped?
We all want to fly. And some of us find our way; by searching for it.
Have you ever felt trapped in the prison of monotony?
We all do, more or less often and the answer lies within us.
Ever, for a moment, have you envied someone?
If you have, just know that there are more who envy YOU.
Ever thought that no one understands you?
You're wrong.
Ever felt useless?
I know it sucks. So make yourself useful. You know better.
Ever felt so morbidly low and hopeless?
Just know that it's hope that attracts good fortune.
Ever wondered why things are so dull and wrong?
You were the one holding onto it by keeping it alive in your mind.
Ever closed your eyes, breathed, and thought of all your treasures
that money can't buy?
It's the most amazing feeling.
Want to know the secret to multiply all that you have????
I know you won't believe me but it's SHARING.
Will you believe me when I say that I really care about you?
It's true. People do still care.
Ever wanted to turn back time and re-write those memories?
If imperfections weren't created to make perfect feelings and real
experiences, then life and even your existence would be meaningless.
Ever lost something you can never have again?
It's not the end of the world. You still have so much you haven't lost yet
and so much you can do. Open your eyes.
Ever felt guilty about doing something?
Confess. It takes guts.
Ever felt like you're not good enough?
You are really not good enough- if that's what you BELIEVE.
Ever felt like you can never get over what's happened?
Tell me, do you always laugh at the same old jokes again and again?
what will brooding ever give you?
Ever felt like you're all alone?
You are not alone. Just look around and erase this by sharing your love.
Aalia Khan
CHANGES
Some people change for the better,
Some people can't, don't know any better,
Don't want to change because of the Ego,
Can change, when know where to go.
We all change little by little.
In the mind, in the physical.
Death pushes back the level.

BIRTHDAY POEMS
50th BIRTHDAY WISH
A Rose is not a Rose without the thorns,
You have a full life and share of thorns,
The beauty of a rose will fade in time,
Beauty may fade but wisdom matures like wine.

| Black Dragon Rose |
BIRTHDAY WISH
A Rose by any other name,
Would just sound so tame.
Such beauty is the Rose,
Even with thorns, it shows.
Another year has passed
You have passed your test
A clean bill of health
is important than wealth.
For when you have your health
You can then build your wealth!

Happy Birthday Dad.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
A whole year has gone by
With a blink of an eye
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
You are a year older
Don't worry, you'll live longer
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Time sure flies when you're having fun
That's how I'll feel when this day is done.

TWENTY-ONE (NEW)
A Birthday cake for you,
A Slice of Chocolate Heaven,
It may be too sweet for you,
That's why it's a fake one.
Today you get your keys
Can open many doors,
Watch out for cheeky monkeys,
That hide behind the doors.
Sometimes you get donkeys,
You better slam the doors!
If it is a wolly wookie,
Dash quickly out the doors!
If it turns out Chucky,
You better lock the doors!
I hope that you are lucky,
Waiting behind the doors,
If that is your destiny,
He will find you and be yours.

Wishing Hopes
Birthday is a present of being lived
Time when you were blown to be loved
Breath air of seeing emotion
Moving smile of the eyes to feel passion
Birthday as thankfulness moment of life
O.. wish and hope and praising life
Fate gave cheerful soul to hug love
The adorer flew life like a white dove
Birthday beats a melody wind to blow
Breezing blissful wishes that flow
To the river of fallen stars
Which shine and bounce the light of fallen stars
Birthday and the wishing hopes pour like rain
The love to grant never in vain
Wish light hope bright shine up dark down
Wishing hopes sing a rhyme not like a frown

Happy Birthday Dad from a son
Happy Birthday to my Dad
There is no ice cream, no cake, no presents to be had
just a silent birthday wish for my Dad
Happy Birthday to my Father
there are no candles, no flowers not on this day nor this hour
just a teary-eyed birthday wish for my Father
Happy Birthday to my Dad
there are no noise makers, or streamers
just a room with one dreamer, one unhappy lad
with a tear in my eye and a song in my heart a simple birthday wish for my dad

Five Decades
Eons have come and gone
The face of life erodes
Peons and mastodon
Their treasured gold corrodes
With the passing of time
Evolutions unfold
The half century chime
One may be getting old
Happy 50th Birthday!
(dedicated to a lovely woman with a great sense of humor)
