Two poems this week!

This one is another ‘spontaneous inspiration’ one. As always, enjoy, critique and, if you want to, post one of your own.

Between Your Headphones

Between your headphones there are eyes
Hiding by disguise what’s really on the inside
Down deep in your bones there is pain
But you have to fain smiles o’er the tears you’ve cried

Holding that cellphone in your hand
You think that you’ve banned all entrance to your heart
All that you have known you forget
Hiding in your jacket, this painful world you depart.

We know the world’s a hard place to live
It takes more than it gives and leaves you empty
I know some people get abusive
They speak deceptive words with no charity
But we are here, with love so sincere
Ready to take the pain, help strength to regain
Ready to stand for you when your heart has died
Oh, we are here, with hearts open wide

Outside those headphones there’s a song
Sung all the day long by hearts wanting to love you
Inside your heart groans but there’s hope
Someone there to help you cope when all the pains ensue

Beyond that cellphone there are those
Ready to expose to you how much they are willing to
Show you some unknown parts inside
Times when they have cried, wanting to show love to you

We know the world’s a hard thing to face
It drains your strength and faith. It saps your courage
We know some people give you no space
Their words cannonade you with no mercy
But we are here, with love so sincere
Ready to take the pain, help strength to regain
Ready to stand for you when your heart has died
Oh, we are here, with hearts open wide

Lift off the headphones, Listen to
Music you never knew ringing in the air
Melody over despair, the notes of joy
Hope sends envoy of love you never foreknew

Lower that cellphone Look around
Faces abound that want to treasure you
Though they be few, their hearts will show love true
Maybe renew your love for those around.

We know the world’s a hard place to live
It takes more than it gives and leaves you empty
I know some people get abusive
They speak deceptive words with no charity
But we are here, with love so sincere
Ready to take the pain, help strength to regain
Ready to stand for you when your heart has died
Oh, we are here, with hearts open wide

We know the world’s a hard thing to face
It drains your strength and faith. It saps your courage
We know some people give you no space
Their words cannonade you with no mercy
But we are here, with love so sincere
Ready to take the pain, help strength to regain
Ready to stand for you when your heart has died
Oh, we are here, with hearts open wide

We’ll hug you. Stand up for you when
They’ve arisen against you to harm.
We’ll love you. Fight hard when you can’t
Pray our hearts are constant. We are
We are right here for you.
