THE BEST OF ME VOL VI

by STEPHEN SPENCE

LUCKY 7 One is confusing By another betrayed The 3rd one forgotten The 4th seems afraid The 5th seems quite busy While the 6th is too far Is 7 my lucky number?

Is that my bright star?

WHY? WISH TO FLY PART II Ii said once before that I wished to die But what I did not say is why.

My life is different, and very much so I don’ don’t know where I will be tomorrow Nothing on earth really interests me Flying high above is where I’d rather be Helping others, yes that wo would be my goal No matter who; who; either young young or old And now I hope u can at least think why I wish to grow angelic wings and fly

“Ah... that's the thing bout poetry, it is not meant to be explained, it is up to the reader to see what he or she can understand from reading the poem, to see if they could get into the poet's mind and heart!”

THAT SMILE ON HER FACE

Also I admit Without any disgrace Along with those eyes A sweet smile on her face.

Yes, it made my heart beat.

And it made me smile too My smile was quite simple But with feeling; it’s true.

With each step I took My smile got more wide And my poor little heart Would beat faster inside.

I stood now in front her Beautiful eyes with that smile To catch back my breath, It would take me a while And from that mouth with the great smile A name released to me And after that minute break.

The smile I’d once again see We instantly bonded I say with no disgrace I also met this angel Through that smile on her face

THE SWEET SOUND OF HER VOICE

Lastly I admit, And also rejoice The 3rd thing I fell for Was the sweet sound of her voice And when that sweet voice, Let out this girls name My heart skipped a beat I say that with no shame I told her my name too; The conversation went on All fear I had in me Was finally gone I say once again I admit, no surprise, That the 1st thing a saw On this girl was her eyes I secondly admit without any disgrace Along with those eyes, Was the sweet smile on her face We instantly bonded I admit and rejoice; The 3rd thing I fell for WAS THE SWEET SOUND OF HER VOICE

Alone

fear not

Once again I’m home alone Home alone I say All alone by myself For yet another day

I know people fear you And it gives you joy To take it away From old man to young boy

Would you dare leave me alone?

This is what I ask you Would you dare leave me alone?

When you’re home alone too?

I realise u pass me straight Tell me I’m I saved for late?

What I say is: This must not be Let me come to you Or you come to me.

Because I say here I do not fear you And those words I say Are totally true

We both have love for each other Love that needs to be shown Especially on nights like this When we are both alone.

Why wait? Come on!

Just take it away!

Those words are all That I would say So I breathe and wait For my final breath Just take my life ‘Cuz I fear not death

VALENTINE Vol II The 14th February, one again it’s that day When people show their love in almost every way Yes this thing called love, quite unique it can be.

I can feel it for you while you don’t feel it for me.

For those of you who have someone, cherish as if to death Since they are the one you might be with when you take your final breath.

Love is something that cannot be described by any word.

But it is one that can be felt, seen maybe see n or heard.

So if you have a special someone; the most special make them be.

Since I don’t have a valentine, Can you be one to me?

heart…… dying heart Do you believe that the heart can die can die Can die when it’s all alone?

Do you believe that the heart can die can die When no other heart wants to share its home So to keep the heart from dying What it does is keep on trying Do you believe that the heart can die can die Can die when it’s all alone?

Do you believe that the heart can die can die When no other heart wants to share its home So what can we do to keep this heart together so it doesn’t fall apart?

And will this trying break it more?

How much pain can it endure?

OH SOUL MATE Oh soul mate, where are you?

Can you please talk to me?

Oh soul mate, where are you?

With you I need to be!

For 19 yrs I've waited; And still I see no sign that I'm truly your soul mate And you are truly mine.

But i know you are my soul mate For the soul itself tells me this And your soul will tell you also once we have our first kiss.

So; my dearest soul mate For ever I'll wait for you 'Cuz I know you are my soul mate And our souls know that it's true

The Bending Path of Life What do I want out of life?

The truth is I don't know I don't know where I really am Or where I have to go.

I follow a path laid out for me.

I seldom choose the way; Did I really have an input To where my life is at today?

The truth is I can't answer that; For I just cannot tell.

'Cuz I have no idea what I want, And that I know so well!

So until I find out what I want Follow this path I must Until that day finally comes That in myself I trust.

I Thought of Her Whole Night I fourthly admit And I say without fright.

After meeting this girl; I stayed up all night You see I could not sleep For she was on my mind Those eyes; that smile and that great voice; Really one of a kind Eventually I fell asleep Sometime after three.

And when I entered the dream world She was right there with me Yes this girl; she is special She’s like no one i know And down this rough and rugged path Together we will go.

So once again i admit And i say; no surprise That the fist thing I saw On this girl was her eyes.

I admitted secondly Without any disgrace; Along with those eyes, A sweet smile on her face.

Then thirdly I said; i admit and rejoice That i also fell for The sweet sound of her voice.

And fourthly I say; I admit without fright After meeting this girl I was up all night

THE TALE OF A GREAT (Part 2) Now this poem had a premature end; ‘Cuz there’s more to say ‘bout this great.

New Zealand was the next stop on the tour And I must say that he blossomed late.

His highest score a mere 83, Disappointing, but not bad you see.

And when India came next to the Caribbean He got his 3rd chance at the captaincy.

Within the next year mostly one day games We feared quite well I must say.

But yet in the end both big trophies Still sadly went the other way.

Now after the Champion’s trophy, To Pakistan is where we would go.

And in the three tests that we played over there, Lara gave us a great show.

Including a ton that happened so fast He made 100 just before lunchtime.

And the way that he took apart Kaneria, He made it look like a crime.

Now 2007, a Wold Cup year The one that Windies will host.

And for the Guys with home soil under their feet It is one they’d cherish the most.

They top their group in the first round And us Fans feel things are going good.

Then in the Super, things have gone as wrong as they could.

And this is where we stand today the last match in which the hosts will play But after the last match The King told the world

He’d retire after today.

April 21st 2007 the time is now twenty to eight.

And for the last time within the next two hrs Lara would walk through the field gates.

We knew he would quit One-days after this cup But from Tests? This shocked everyone!

Well within the day we’ll see how this plays The Finale cricket’s greatest son.

The match has begun Windies will bat first; The start that we get: Opposite to worst.

Past 100 is the score When the first man will go Lara comes to the crease To give us a final show.

But I am sad to say Only 18 he made.

An unnecessary run-out Came to England’s aid.

Our score: 300 We lose by one wicket And with this last game, He says goodbye to cricket.

My hero we will miss you The cricket world will cry.

To Brian Charles Lara; Farewell and goodbye!
