Breathe ~ A poem I wrote a poetry . com

Breathe

Breathe in slow, 

Fill the lungs with life, 

Take the time to appreciate, and give thanks. 

Pray on your knees, 

Talk to your god, 

He loves you, 

Take his hand. 

Have faith, 

He's always there, 

No matter what, 

Surrounds your life... 

Happiness, 

He holds the key, 

And the door, 

Is always open wide.

Colours ~ A Poem I wrote at poetry . com

Colours

Paint the tapestries of life...... 

Blue......as the ocean, deep and full of experience, 

Yellow......bright like the sun........bathes us all in life, 

Pink......shocking and soothing.......the choice is your experience, 

Green......natures theme color.......it illustrates life, 

Purple.......mysterious.......a color to make you ponder, 

All shades of the visible light spectrum......God's gift, 

His earth, a canvas we all paint.

Your Last Day, Today ? ~ A Poem I wrote published at Poetry . com

Your Last Day, Today ?

By John Stephen Swygert

What touches your soul, 

Sweet kisses that stop time, 

A scenic drive on a sunny day, 

A fine mellowed wine. 

\Things we enjoy in life, 

Passion that makes us alive, 

Live each day to the fullest, 

Always for dreams we must strive. 

\Love the ones your with, 

Like it is your last day, 

Remembering what is important, 

I love you, the words we need to say. 

\Live each day as your last, 

One day you will be right, 

Stay focused with this vision, 

Keep the present moment in site.

Leaving The Ones You Love ~ A Poem I wrote circa 1999

Leaving The Ones You Love

By John Stephen Swygert

Honestly, today I parted ways with my wife, 

not a part of the plans I had for our life, 

my step-children too...Oh, how I will be missing you. 

I can not describe the sort of pain, 

loneliness mildly insane, 

but I do have faith in the father above, 

and out of this, there will be something gained. 

Goodbye my precious ones, 

Goodbye my Love, 

You are now as far away, 

as the heavens above. 

I will miss you always, 

and I will miss you forever, 

is this really the end ? 

I would like to believe never. 

But for now I am empty again.

MATERIAL LOVE ~ Lyrics ~ MobiusTripz ~ circa 1989 / 1992

MATERIAL LOVE

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HAVE MUSIC IN STEREO,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HAVE REMOTE CONTROL,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HAVE COLOR T.V.,

BUT BABY YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HAVE A V.C.R.,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HAVE THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T SHOP AT BOUTIQUES,

BUT BABY YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HAVE GREY POUPON,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T DRINK DOM PERIGNON,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T LIVE LIKE ROYALTY,

BUT BABY YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME.

CHORUS:

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME,

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME,

JUST REMEMBER BABY,

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T TAKE A LUXURY CRUISE,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T DRINK THE MOST EXPENSIVE BOOZE,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T WEAR THE MOST EXPENSIVE JEWELRY,

BUT BABY YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME..

CHORUS:

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME,

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME,

JUST REMEMBER BABY,

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE ME.

REBUILD ME PLEASE ~ A Poem from my old site ~ circa 1996 / 2001

REBUILD ME PLEASE

My life is full,

My cup runneth over,

My spirit restored,

My soul seems to hover.

My heart is on fire,

My passion restored,

My mind rejuvenated,

My love waits at your door.

I ask you to enter,

I ask you to stay,

I ask you to rebuild,

That which I chose to give way.

I ask you to show me,

I ask for your will,

I ask for your grace,

The patience to be still.

I offer my soul,

I offer from deep within,

I offer my heart,

Please forgive me my sins.

I offer my body,

I offer my mind,

I offer the past,

That I left behind.

Build me a castle,

Build me a soul,

Build me stronger,

As your faith I now hold.

Build me so perfect,

Build me to endure,

Build me a life,

To work for you Lord.

Take me, I am yours,

Take me and do,

Take me for whatever,

You want me to do.

Take me while I am blind,

Take me toward light,

Take me and show me,

Grant me your sight.

Show me green pastures,

Show me sunsets,

Show me your gifts,

I promise to share with the rest.

Show me your path,

Show me the way,

Show me all these things,

I desire you each day.

Thankful for life,

Thankful for serenity,

Thankful for sanity,

You restored so easily.

Thankful for grace,

Thankful for love,

Thankful for my Father,

In the heavens above.
