My advice

by Grant Gilbert AKA Slash   Sep 23, 2008


My advice

Hopes and dreams have turned to dust
Crumbled lives like powdered rust
So many people suffer in pain
I try to help, but it's all in vain

Happiness fades like morning mist
Love is crushed like the finest grist
Although you're in your finest hour
You relish in a life turned sour

Lust has become your morning creed
Misery grabbed with so much greed
You come before me on bended knee
Advice you beg, for this you plea

Hopes and dreams like pixie dust
Crumbled lives rebuilt with trust
So many people smile again
I helped a little to ease their pain

Happiness touches like warm sunshine
Love is tasted like the finest wine
You know you're in your finest hour
When love like this you can devour

Lust and love go hand in hand
Misery scattered like fine sea sand
You came to me on bended knee
This advice I gave for all to see

    A very good poem, my friend..I wonder who you wrote it for...
    Love and lust do go hand in hand...but sometimes we feel only lust for someone we meet, that does happen too, you know!
    In the best of all situations you love someone and lust for them as well and only that one person...it is best for the peace of mind of both parties:)

    Hugs for my wise friend...and hero:)

    5/5 Ingrid

    Wow,,i really love the rym,
    really great

    Lust and love go hand in hand
    Misery scattered like fine sea sand
    You came to me on bended knee
    This advice I gave for all to see
    *this part is my favorite
    this makes me smile,,

    just just the reapeated words took my atention,it really bothers me like the word crumble on first and second stanza and the finest hour on the second and fourth stanzas,,
    like it takes the rym,,

    but i really love it speacially the rym and the direct to the point title,,
    still 5/5
    two thumbs up!

    Waw, you are kind hearted. Not much of us are our sisters and brothers keepers. We are so many in this world yet many of us are so alone thinking we can't count on anyone just our ownselves.
    I like the way you expresses thoughts and situations throughout your poems. Well done, kel.

    Grant you seriously sound like such a sweet guy and this poem makes your personality shine :) It shows everyone here on poems-and-quotes what you are all about and how you are willing to help with everything :) I love your rhyming and choice of words for this poem it's full of meaning. I loved the fifth stanza I'm not sure why but something about it made it special to me :)
    xxxxxxxxx 5/5 Much love,
    Roxy
