The Best of me Vo. 2 By Stephen Spence

THE BEST OF ME VOL II

by STEPHEN SPENCE

Friends move on To all my friends who have left and gone, Our friendship we will carry on Years together now years apart You’ll always have a place in my heart When you return, I might not be here I’ll be fulfilling my dream somewhere out there One day we’ll all return to this land With our qualifications and careers now in hand

THE HEAD AND THE HEART PART I My heart speaks to me “Do it!” it said “No!” is the word Replied from my head -You love her so go on Don’t waste any time -Let’s wait, I am young She can still become mine.

I argue with myself, My head and my heart.

The skills I posses: A really rare art.

I try to use it To tell this girl how I feel That the love I have for her Is truly real.

But how she responds?

I still cannot tell; Me here in suspense Is a lot worse than Hell.

Please understand dear girl That these are for you.

I’d love for you to say That you love me too.

THE HEAD AND THE HEART PART II

The verdict has come My head was more smart.

He was right; now what is broken?

My heart!

She wants to be friends In this earthly life.

Oh how much I wished She would have been my wife.

My heart is broken, it suffersIn a lot of pain.

Now by the head, it’s reminded Again and again.

Time was on your side You should have moved slow.

What does the future hold?

We still do not know.

So give up I shall not And hope for the best.

That one day, in my arms Is where she will rest.

3

NEAR FUTURE As I grow older, I act more mature And you’re the girl that I adore When I don’t hear from you, My world is so down.

So please talk to me And remove my frown.

I know I am still young In this earthly life But in the near future I pray you’re my wife

4

BEYOND LIFE What lies beyond this earthly life?

One day I hope to know.

A peaceful place, place, a heavenly place, That’s where I want to go.

A place where everybody Is cared for with love That great and wonderful place That lies up above.

If I go before you, Please do not have fear.

Because when you arrive at the gates, I’ll be waiting there. there.

5

LOST I’ve lost my vibe to write, I’ve lost my vibe to live I’ve lost my inspiration I have no more love to give.

The last of my love was wasted It was thrown away down the drain.

Now defeat tasted, all that is left is pain

I FEEL I feel so sad, I feel depressed There is a pain within my chest.

My heart; it aches, from love so strong.

For the time I’m waiting is so long.

6

Good Morning The stars now out-shun by the sun Another day has now begun Get out of bed, open your eyes Take a look at the now blue sky Those little birds, they sing And give you no warning And this is just me wishing you A Good Morning!

YOU CAN You can laugh till you cry You can love while you live But you cannot live without love to give So to all those you love, Love them all through your life.

Tell a woman love her husband Tell a man love his wife.

7

WISH TO FLY Sometimes I wish to die Grow Angelic wings and fly Fly and soar above this world All beautiful sites to behold My friends and family I’ll take care of Protect and watch down on them with love And in your dreams, I will let you see All the wonderful places I would be.

One day in the future we’ll reunite, reunite, And together help others in their fight.

Show them there’s still hope for all who are down Give them a smile, remove their frown.

NO ANSWER

I call you, no answer. How could this be?

Dear darling, sweet angel; please talk to me.

What did I do you? What have I done wrong?

Please call me, please text me; it feels like so long.

Or is my timing awful? At the worst times I call.

If that is so; then it’s nothing. No; nothing at all.

Then later I will call you, again and again.

Until, your beautiful voice answers. And my heart; it will mend.

FRIENDS Friends are who I live for.

Friends are who I love.

Without these friends, where would I be?

Not alive, but up above.

For being my friend, I thank you.

And I hope that, you’ll always be.

Because well, without someone like you There will be, well… NO ME! So once more I must thank you And please let us stay friends.

‘Cuz in my heart there’s a place for you Until the very end.

10

OUR RELATIONSHIP Where do you see our relationship?

What am I to you?

Am I just, another real good friend?

Or do you see more too?

‘Cuz yes I see within you A friend that will last for life.

But deeper inside? A Soul mate!

Maybe, a future wife.

So please lovely lady, Tell me what you wish for.

If only a friend; That; I can be.

But also something more.

But since in a relationship, You need not one person, but two.

I will sit and wish and pray, That one day, I’ll be with you…

11

THAT LADY OVER THERE THAT LADY, YES THAT ONE OVER THERE SHE KNOWS ME SO WELL, I KNOW HER SO WELL. SHE’S SMART, SHE’S CHARMING; SHE’S BEAUTIFUL, ALL OF THIS I SWEAR. YES I’M TALKING ABOUT THAT LADY OVER THERE. I NEED TO SEE HER; I NEED TO HEAR HER, FOR ME TO STAY ALIVE. SHE MAKES ME LAUGH, SHE MAKES ME SMILE FOR MY GOALS SHE HELPS ME STRIVE. YES, I NEED THAT LADY OVER THERE TO HELP ME STAY ALIVE.

12

THIS GIFT I wrap this gift, And give it to you.

My heart inside With its love so true.

Please cherish it and love it, As best as you could.

And if you give me yours Even better I would.

But please do not break mine, It can be mended no more. ‘Cuz you’re the one I love, And that is for sure.

13

MIRROR MAN I look in the mirror. Who do I see?

I see a strange person; someone else, not me He runs on hatred, his eyes are red.

He is the madness within my head.

I hide him there as long as I can He wants to get out, this mirror man.

He lives on my hatred biding inside.

What he does is collect it all; Everything I hide.

I fear that one day, This mirror man will be free And release all the good and bad I hide within me.

Friendships He’ll destroy, feuds he will start.

So I weaken him by writing, With my poetic art.

THE ULTIMATE TEST It’s the best against the rest in the Ultimate test, The world champs take on the world.

Six days of action, a payer’s satisfaction.

Ultimate talent, behold!

The twice record breaker; the leading wicket taker.

Plus 20 stars all on one ground.

The One Dayer’s the world lost, at a terrible cost.

For the world a win must be found.

Heads is the call! On a tail the coin will fall.

The champs win four out of four.

They choose to blade, with the pitch at their aid.

To help them win this one more.

The world get the perfect start, oh what an art!

The opener bowled off the third ball.

An inswinging Yorker, Oh what a scorcher!

The stumps to tumble then fall.

The skipper at the crease, the wicket-falling will cease.

The two will add seventy-three.

Caught in the slip; a good knock Skip.

Four runs short of fifty.

The fourth wicket pair, bat with some flare.

Together added eighty-one.

Number four goes bat/pad, the bowler is glad.

By spin: this man was outdone.

They couldn’t say, from the replay.

Whether any bat was involved.

The umpire in play sent him on his way.

That’s how this mystery was solved.

17

Number five had bad luck, run out for a duck.

The bowler blocking his way.

Number two and number six, with style and luck mixed.

Together make the world pay.

Number two: a century, number six: 94 had he.

The champs all gone for 345.

The tail fell very quick, gave the bowlers no stick.

This game is still much alive.

It’s the world’s turn to blade not much would be made, Two centuries not even the sum.

The top score 76, then 44 a bad mix.

For the world is the worst still to come?

Five’s the master’s score, for the crowd, it’s a bore.

A man of his class gone for so few.

Leg before’s how he fell, the bowler accurate as hell.

Not a good score, and that they all knew.

An innings still to go, with all these stars we won’t know, In the end, who will be on top?

The losers, they will grieve. While the winners will leave With the Johnnie Walker super test cup.

The world bowlers do their best, in this super test To limit the champs to a low score.

That, they do well, in fact it was swell The Aussies add 199 more.

The world needs one more, than 354 To break the champs’ unbeaten run.

The champs use their spin to help them win Believe it or not the champs won.

By 210 they lose; the world’s best took a snooze.

144 was their final score.

The WORLD XI now head to Heaven Dead: midway through day 4.
